UV Flame Detectors and Sensors (Minipeeper) FAQ

How do Honeywell UV flame detectors and sensors perform in high-temperature environments?

Honeywell UV flame detectors are engineered to perform effectively in high-temperature environments, ensuring consistent flame detection under challenging conditions.

The Honeywell C7027 UV flame scanner performs well in high-temperature environments up to 250°F (121°C). For higher temperatures, external cooling (air or water) is required. Its rugged design ensures durability, while UV sensing technology provides accurate flame detection. Proper installation and maintenance, including cooling in extreme conditions, are essential for reliable performance and sensor longevity.

Are Honeywell UV flame detectors and sensors compatible with existing safety systems in manufacturing plants?

Yes, Honeywell UV flame detectors are designed to integrate seamlessly with existing safety systems in manufacturing plants, enhancing overall safety monitoring.

Honeywell C7027 flame detectors are compatible with most existing safety systems in manufacturing plants, using standard relay or analog output signals and integrating easily with burner management systems (BMS) and flame safeguard controllers. They feature failsafe designs and certifications like UL, FM, and CE, ensuring compliance with safety regulations. The C7027 supports various power supplies and offers flexibility for different applications, making it suitable for seamless integration into existing systems.

Can Honeywell UV flame detectors and sensors be used in hazardous locations?

Yes, Honeywell and Fireye UV & IR flame detectors are suitable for use in hazardous locations, offering reliable flame detection where safety is critical.  Honeywell offers explosion proof housings for flame detectors, so you may need to upgrade your model to a higher class of scanners.

Certain models of Honeywell flame detectors are certified for use in Class I, Division 1 or 2 hazardous locations (as per NEC and NFPA standards). These certifications ensure they meet safety requirements for environments where explosive or flammable substances are present.

What is the typical response time for Honeywell UV flame detectors and sensors in detecting flames?

The typical response time for Honeywell UV flame detectors is rapid, and plugs directly into the burner control chassis and body, ensuring prompt detection of flames to mitigate risks.

Are there specific maintenance procedures for Honeywell UV flame detectors and sensors in continuous operation?

Regular maintenance procedures include periodic cleaning and testing to ensure optimal performance in continuous operation settings.

Summary of Maintenance Intervals:

• Visual inspections: Monthly, check for dust and dirt
• Lens cleaning: Every 3-6 months, or more often in dirty environments.  Use a soft, lint-free cloth with mild cleaning solutions, avoiding abrasive cleaners that could scratch the lens and impair performance.
• Sensitivity testing and calibration: Semi-annually or annually
• System testing: Monthly or per operational guidelines

Some models have a built-in self-check feature to monitor the detector’s performance. Ensure this feature is functioning properly, and review any diagnostic codes or warnings it may generate.

How do Honeywell UV flame detectors and sensors handle interference from other light sources?

Honeywell UV flame detectors are designed to minimize interference from other light sources, focusing on UV emissions specific to flames for accurate detection.
