Overview
The Siemens LFE10 is a high-performance flame safeguard designed for the supervision of gas and luminous or blue-burning oil flames. Engineered for intermittent operation, this flame detector relay is a critical safety component used to monitor and indicate flame status in industrial and commercial burner systems. It is primarily used in conjunction with Siemens LEC1 burner controls or as a standalone flame indication unit in manually started plants. The LFE10 features an intrinsically safe electrical circuit and a plug-in design for easy installation and maintenance.
Features
- Self-checking mechanism with automatic flame simulation testing during burner off and purging times
- Versatile flame supervision supporting both UV detectors (QRA series) and ionization probes
- Integrated flame indication lamp located behind a viewing window for instant status monitoring
- Durable, impact-proof, and heat-resistant plastic housing with an IP40 protection rating
- Flexible mounting options allowing for installation in any position directly on the burner or in control panels
- Double-insulated design with dedicated earth terminals for looping auxiliary burner components
