Description:
The Fireye UV1A12 UV Flame Scanner is designed for non-self-checking applications, making it ideal for monitoring combustion flames fueled by gases and No. 2 oil. This scanner detects ultraviolet (UV) radiation emitted by the flame, using a non-replaceable quartz UV tube that ionizes upon exposure to UV light. This ionization generates current pulses between internal electrodes, which are transmitted to the control system’s amplifier for processing, confirming the presence of the flame. Engineered for continuous operation, the UV1A12 is perfect for industrial burner management systems, ensuring reliable flame detection in demanding environments.
Applications:
• Industrial burner systems for fuel gases and No. 2 oil
• Combustion control for boilers and furnaces
• Flame detection for burners fueled by fuel gases and No. 2 oil
• Suitable for non-self-checking flame detection applications
