Standard features of the FL4000H Flame Detector include:
• MSIR sensor array for maximum range of up to 230 ft.
• Neural network technology for superior false alarm immunity The time and frequency information are used by the FL4000H's
• Continuous optical path monitoring (COPM) checks optical proprietary neural network classification algorithm to identify
path integrity for high reliability if input IR signals are emitted from a flame or non-flame
• Event logging records time, date and type of event source. The flame or non-flame decision is then reported as an

General Monitors—by MSA
Over 100 years of experience and capability in comprehensive safety solutions have made MSA a modern
and forward-looking company for the protection of people, facilities, and the environment. MSA is one of
the few suppliers of fixed gas and flame detection (FGFD) measurement technology that develops and
manufactures a complete range of products and integrates them into safety solutions.
With the acquisition of General Monitors in September 2010, the MSA FGFD product portfolio expanded
even further. As two unmatched experts in gas and flame detection joined forces, we are proving that
the right mix of durable products and innovative technology can increase safety while driving operational
efficiency.
Together MSA and General Monitors have the widest range of sensing technologies for gas and flame
detection. We can create solutions that will not only provide worker safety and protect facilities, but
will also decrease overall cost of ownership. While our customers still have access to the great products
and service that they have come to rely on in the past, they now have access to so much more: superior
service, improved support, a wider range of technology, and unique solutions enhanced by the combined
strength of MSA and General Monitors.

Our Mission
MSA's mission is to see to it that men and women may work in safety and that they, their families, and their communities may live in healt
