Overview
The Siemens QRB1B-B017A25B is a high-sensitivity, photoresistive flame detector designed for the supervision of yellow-burning oil flames. This compact sensor is part of the QRB series and is engineered to detect visible light radiation with a maximum spectral sensitivity of approximately 600 nm. It is primarily used in intermittent burner operations to ensure reliable flame monitoring and safety. The detector is built with a durable, red plastic housing and is capable of both frontal and lateral illumination, making it versatile for various burner mounting configurations.
