55UV5-1009 Fireye Scanner

Overview

The Fireye 55UV5-1009 is a high-performance, self-checking ultraviolet (UV) flame scanner designed for continuous flame monitoring in industrial burner management systems. It detects UV radiation from fossil fuel flames while incorporating an internal electromagnetic shutter that periodically blocks the detector’s view. This self-checking mechanism allows the associated flame safeguard control to verify the integrity of the scanner and its circuits, making it ideal for applications that operate for extended periods without recycling.

Features

• Self-checking ultraviolet flame detection technology for continuous burner operation.
• Integrated electromagnetic shutter for automatic circuit verification.
• Cast aluminum NEMA 4X and IP66 rated housing for harsh environments.
• Planoconvex quartz lens designed for high sensitivity and accurate sensing.
• Oil-resistant gaskets to maintain housing integrity in industrial settings.
• Discrimination capabilities to distinguish the target burner flame from background radiation.
