Description
The Fireye UV1A6 Flame Scanner is a compact, ultra-sensitive miniature ultraviolet (UV) flame detector designed for optical combustion monitoring on commercial and industrial burners firing natural gas, propane, or No. 2 fuel oil. Operating with a quartz UV sensing tube, the UV1A6 detects the high-energy ultraviolet radiation emitted directly by active flames while discriminating against ambient lighting and hot furnace refractory surfaces. Built with a rugged 1/2" NPT mounting collar and a factory-attached 6-foot cable, the UV1A6 connects directly to Fireye flame safeguard controls including Flame-Monitor, BurnerLogix, MicroM, and M-Series systems to deliver fast flame-out response times, prevent unburned fuel accumulation, and ensure safe ignition and firing sequences across thermal processing applications.
Frequently Asked Questions
What fuel types can the Fireye UV1A6 flame scanner detect?
The Fireye UV1A6 is optimized for detecting flames produced by standard fuel gases (such as natural gas and propane) and light liquid oils like No. 2 fuel oil. It is generally not recommended for heavy crude oils (No. 6 oil), as unburned fuel shrouds can obscure ultraviolet light emissions.
Is the Fireye UV1A6 a self-checking flame scanner?
No, the UV1A6 is a non-self-checking miniature UV scanner. It is intended for intermittent-duty burner applications that cycle off at least once every 24 hours to test sensor and tube integrity.
Which Fireye flame safeguard controls are compatible with the UV1A6?
The UV1A6 integrates directly with primary Fireye combustion controls, including Flame-Monitor, BurnerLogix, MicroM, M-Series, M-Series II, FlameWorx, MB-2, and Nexus systems when equipped with a compatible EUV series flame amplifier module.
What are the physical mounting and cable specifications for the Fireye UV1A6?
The UV1A6 features a 1/2" NPT female threaded mounting collar for direct mounting to standard sight pipes and comes with a 6-foot (72-inch) shielded cable rated for Tray Cable (TC-ER) installations.
How does the Fireye UV1A6 distinguish a real flame from hot furnace walls?
The internal quartz tube ionizes only when struck by high-energy short-wave ultraviolet light (190 to 270 nm) produced by active combustion. Infrared thermal radiation emitted by glowing furnace refractories falls outside this narrow spectral window and will not trigger a false flame signal.
