45UV5-1009 Fireye UV Self-Check Scanner

Overview

The Fireye 45UV5-1009 is a self-checking ultraviolet (UV) flame scanner designed for industrial burner management and flame safeguard applications. It is engineered to detect UV radiation emitted from fossil fuel flames while providing high levels of safety through an integrated self-checking mechanism. This scanner is particularly well-suited for continuously fired applications where the burner cycles infrequently.

Features

• Self-Checking Mechanism: Features an electromagnetic shutter that cycles every four seconds to verify the integrity of the UV tube and electronic circuits.
• High Sensitivity: Utilizes a planoconvex quartz lens to increase sensing sensitivity by up to 400 percent.
• Durable Construction: Housed in a cast aluminum enclosure with oil-resistant gaskets for reliable performance in harsh industrial environments.
• Selective Spectrum Detection: Responds only to the ultraviolet spectrum (190-270 nm), making it blind to infrared radiation and visible light to prevent false signals from hot refractory.
• Easy Maintenance: Equipped with a hinged mount for quick access to clean the quartz lens and a double screw-and-keyhole slot for easy removal.

Specifications

• Model: 45UV5-1009
• Supply Voltage: 102 to 264 VAC shutter power (120 VAC nominal)

Applications

The 45UV5-1009 is used with Fireye BurnerLogix, Flame-Monitor, MicroM, D-Series, and FlameWorx control systems. It is ideal for monitoring flames produced by natural gas, propane, methane, butane, kerosene, and light petroleum distillates. Common applications include:

• Industrial and commercial boilers
• Process heaters and ovens
• Furnaces and kilns
• Utility boilers in power generation facilities
• Hazardous locations requiring explosion-proof protection (when used with CEX housing)
