45UV5-1007CEX Fireye Cenelec Explosion Proof Housing

Overview

The Fireye 45UV5-1007CEX is a self-checking ultraviolet (UV) flame scanner integrated into a Cenelec-certified explosion-proof housing. Designed for continuous-process burners that remain in operation for 24 hours or more, this scanner detects UV radiation from fossil fuel flames while incorporating a mechanical shutter that periodically blocks the sensor’s view to verify the integrity of the UV tube and electronic circuitry. The explosion-proof enclosure ensures safe operation in hazardous industrial environments where flammable gases or vapors may be present.

Features

• Self-checking technology with an internal electromagnetic shutter that performs a system check every four seconds.
• Cenelec EExd IIC T6 explosion-proof certification for use in hazardous areas.
• High-sensitivity planoconvex quartz lens that increases detection capability by up to 400 percent.
• Rugged cast aluminum housing with oil-resistant gaskets for durability in harsh industrial settings.
• Detection selective to the 190 to 250 nanometer UV spectrum, making it blind to solar radiation and hot refractory.
• Hinged mounting flange for easy access and quick maintenance, such as lens cleaning.

Applications

The 45UV5-1007CEX is primarily used in industrial and utility sectors for monitoring flames in single or multi-burner applications. It is suitable for burners firing fossil fuels such as natural gas, propane, methane, butane, and light oils. Typical installations include electric utility boilers, large industrial furnaces, process heaters, and incinerators, particularly those located in classified hazardous zones requiring explosion-proof protection. It is compatible with Fireye Flame-Monitor, BurnerLogix, and MicroM control systems.
