Overview
The Siemens QRB1C-D048B40B is a high-sensitivity photoresistive flame detector designed for the supervision of yellow-burning oil flames. Engineered for use with Siemens burner controls in intermittent operation, this compact sensor captures visible light radiation to ensure safe and efficient burner performance. It features a specialized “glass bubble” construction that enhances light collection, allowing it to detect even faint flickers of flame and providing a critical safety layer by preventing the accumulation of unburned fuel.
Features
- High-sensitivity photoresistive element optimized for the visible light spectrum (maximum spectral sensitivity approximately 600 nm)
- Integrated soft plastic plug for simplified mounting in a standard hole with a lateral groove
- Red casing color typically indicates high sensitivity and provides clear identification in industrial settings
- Robust design including a glass bubble for optimal light entry and a durable housing to withstand high-temperature environments
- Compatible with a wide range of Siemens burner controls, including LAL, LME7, LMO, LMV, and LOA series
- Designed for both frontal and lateral (90 degree) illumination
