MSA FlameGard 5 MSIR — flame detector
The MSA FlameGard 5 MSIR is an advanced flame detector using multi-spectrum infrared (MSIR) technology with four IR sensors and a neural network (NNT) that provides high immunity to false alarms. It detects hydrocarbon fires at long range (up to 70 m) and responds in less than 10 s. Continuous optical path monitoring (COPM) verifies detector integrity. SafeTech selects, supplies and services flame detection.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
What is an MSIR detector?
It is a multi-spectrum infrared flame detector — it analyses several IR bands, which increases range and immunity to false alarms compared with simple detectors.
How far can it detect a fire?
The maximum range is approx. 70 m, with a response time below 10 s for typical hydrocarbon fires.
Does SafeTech select flame detection?
Yes — we select, supply and service flame detectors and integrate them with fire-protection systems.
