48PT2-1003 Fireye Scanner

Overview

The Fireye 48PT2-1003 is a lead sulfide infrared (IR) flame scanner designed to detect low-flicker frequency infrared signals from gas and oil flames. This professional-grade scanner is a critical component of industrial burner management systems, providing reliable flame monitoring to ensure safe combustion. It features a straight-head design and comes equipped with 8 feet (2440mm) of tray-rated, shielded cable. The 48PT2 series is engineered with a low-impedance detector, making it compatible with a wide range of modern Fireye control systems.

Features

• Infrared (IR) Sensing Technology: Utilizes a lead sulfide Firetron cell to detect IR radiation from gas and oil flames.
• Straight-Head Configuration: Designed for direct-sighting applications with a 1/2-inch NPT mounting nut.
• Durable Construction: Rated NEMA 4X, providing protection against environmental contaminants and corrosion.
• Integrated Shielded Cable: Includes 8 feet of TC-ER (Tray Cable – Exposed Run) rated cable for robust electrical connections.
• Replaceable Sensor: Features a replaceable 4-263-1 IR cell, extending the service life of the scanner assembly.
• Internal Grounding: Includes a shield and drain wire internally bonded to the coupling nut for simplified grounding.

Applications

The 48PT2-1003 is specifically designed for use with Fireye D-Series, Flame-Monitor, FlameWorx, MicroM, and BurnerLogix burner management controls. It is suitable for monitoring both pilot and main flames in commercial and industrial combustion systems. Its ability to detect low-flicker frequency IR makes it ideal for burners firing natural gas, propane, and various grades of fuel oil. It is commonly applied in boiler rooms, furnaces, and ovens where reliable, non-self-checking flame detection is required for intermittent operation.
