HE-PP-12 Fireye Ignition Unit

Overview

The Fireye HE-PP-12 is a high-energy ignition power pack from the SureFire II series, designed for the direct spark ignition of most gaseous and liquid fuels. As a Class 3 special igniter, it delivers a powerful 12-joule spark to ensure reliable flame initiation in industrial burners and pilots. This unit is specifically engineered for connection to a high-voltage HEC-X connecting cable and is housed in a rugged, die-cast aluminum enclosure suitable for demanding combustion environments.

Features

• High-energy 12-joule output per pulse for reliable ignition of difficult fuels.
• Selectable input voltage (115/230 VAC) for versatile installation.
• Visual spark operation indication for real-time status monitoring.
• Integrated proof of spark relay with potential-free contacts for flame safeguard integration.
• Thermal cutout protection built into the transformer to prevent overheating.
• Safety bleed resistor that discharges capacitors within 120 seconds for technician safety.
• Quick-disconnect (QD) or integrated threaded options for flexible spark rod mounting.
