48PT2-CEX Fireye Cenelec Explosion Proof Housing

Overview

The Fireye 48PT2-CEX is a high-performance infrared flame scanner designed specifically for hazardous locations. It consists of a standard 48PT2 lead sulfide infrared scanner mounted within a Cenelec EExd IIC explosion-proof housing. This assembly is ATEX compliant and engineered for environments requiring an Exd IIC T6 rating. The scanner is designed to detect the low flicker frequency infrared radiation produced by gas and oil flames, providing reliable flame safeguard monitoring in industrial applications where explosion protection is mandatory.

Features

• Infrared (IR) sensing technology using a lead sulfide detector for accurate flame detection.
• Housed in a Cenelec/ATEX compliant explosion-proof enclosure for use in hazardous areas.
• Designed to detect low flicker frequency signals specifically from gas and oil combustion.
• Low impedance detector design for stable signal transmission.
• Replaceable 4-263-1 Firetron sensor cell to extend the service life of the unit.
• Rugged construction designed to comply with the crush and impact requirements of UL 1569.

Applications

The 48PT2-CEX is intended for use in commercial and industrial combustion environments that are classified as hazardous locations, such as chemical plants or refineries. It must be paired exclusively with compatible Fireye controls, including the D-Series, Flame-Monitor, FlameWorx, MicroM, and Burnerlogix systems. It is ideally suited for monitoring flames from various fuel sources, particularly natural gas and oil, where a direct line of sight to the flame is required within a protective, explosion-proof setup.
