45RM1-1003 Fireye Scanner

Overview

The Fireye 45RM1-1003 is a specialized infrared (IR) flame scanner designed for industrial and utility burner management systems. It is engineered to detect infrared emissions from fossil fuel flames, particularly those that are difficult to sense with standard equipment, such as coal and oil. The 1003 model is functionally identical to the 45RM1-1001 but is specifically configured with a 1-inch BSP (British Standard Pipe) mounting thread to accommodate international piping standards. It works in conjunction with Fireye flame safeguard controls to provide reliable flame discrimination in single or multi-burner environments.

Features

• Infrared (IR) Sensing Technology: Utilizes a photodetector and solid-state circuitry to monitor flame characteristics.
• Fiber Optic Compatibility: Designed for use with fiber optic bundles, allowing for flame detection in high-temperature or physically obstructed areas.
• Flame Discrimination: Capable of distinguishing a target flame from adjacent burner flames or background radiation.
• Durable Construction: Features a rugged housing designed to withstand harsh industrial environments.
• 1-inch BSP Mounting: Specifically threaded for BSP sight pipes, facilitating global installation.

Specifications

Applications

The 45RM1-1003 is primarily used in large-scale combustion applications where precise flame monitoring is critical for safety. It is commonly found in electric utility boilers, industrial process furnaces, and power plants. It is particularly effective for burners firing coal, heavy oil, or mixed fuels. The scanner is designed for seamless integration with Fireye D-Series, Flame-Monitor, Flame-worx, and 25SU3/25SU5 amplifier systems. Its ability to be used with fiber optics makes it ideal for tilted burners or applications where the scanner must be located away from extreme heat.
