C9506M1096 Fireye Scanner

Overview

The Fireye C9506M1096 is a non-self-checking pipe-style ultraviolet (UV) flame scanner designed for use in industrial and commercial burner management systems. This sensor is engineered to detect the ultraviolet radiation emitted by fuel flames, providing a reliable signal to a flame safeguard control. It is specifically designed for mounting on a sight pipe and comes equipped with 40-foot lead wires for extended wiring runs.

Features

• Ultraviolet sensing technology for accurate flame detection
• Pipe-style housing for easy mounting on standard sight pipes
• Non-self-checking design suitable for burners that cycle at least once every 24 hours
• High-sensitivity UV tube for detecting a variety of fuels including natural gas and light oils
• 40-foot factory-installed lead wires for simplified field installation
• Durable construction suitable for industrial environments

Specifications

• Model: C9506M1096
• Sensor Type: Ultraviolet (UV)
• Mounting Style: Pipe-style (typically 1/2 inch or 3/4 inch NPT depending on application)
• Lead Wire Length: 40 feet (12 meters)
• Operating Voltage: Typically 560 VAC applied from the compatible control
• Temperature Rating: -40 F to 200 F (-40 C to 94 C)
• Housing Material: Machined metal or rugged polymer depending on series revision
• Detection Range: Detects UV radiation in the 185 to 260 nanometer range

Applications

The C9506M1096 is used with Fireye flame safeguard controls such as the M-Series, M-Series II, MicroM, and FlameWorx systems. It is intended for intermittent operation where the burner is regularly shut down to allow for a safety check of the scanner. Common applications include commercial boilers, process heaters, and industrial furnaces firing natural gas, propane, or light #2 fuel oils where a direct line-of-sight to the flame is provided through a sight pipe.
