C9701A1023 Fireye Scanner

Overview

The Fireye C9701A1023 is a non-incendive ultraviolet (UV) flame scanner designed for industrial and commercial burner management systems. This high-performance sensor is specifically engineered to detect the ultraviolet radiation emitted by fuel flames while ignoring background infrared radiation from hot refractory surfaces. It features a conformally coated electronics assembly for enhanced durability in harsh environments and comes equipped with a military-style quick-disconnect connector and a purge air port to maintain lens clarity.

Features

• Ultraviolet sensing technology specifically tuned to the 1850 to 2650 angstrom range for accurate flame detection.
• Conformally coated internal circuitry providing superior protection against moisture, corrosion, and environmental contaminants.
• Integrated 3/4 inch NPT purge air connection to prevent soot and dust accumulation on the scanner lens.
• Military-style quick-disconnect electrical connector for simplified installation and maintenance.
• Non-incendive design suitable for use in specific hazardous location classifications.
• Compatible with a wide range of Fireye flame safeguard controls and amplifiers.

Applications

The C9701A1023 is primarily used in combustion safeguard systems for industrial boilers, kilns, and ovens. It is ideally suited for monitoring gas and light oil flames where a clear line of sight to the flame is available. Because it detects UV radiation, it is highly effective at discriminating between the target flame and the glowing heat of the combustion chamber’s refractory walls. It is commonly utilized in environments requiring ruggedized, conformally coated components to ensure long-term reliability.
