UV8A20 Fireye Scanner

Overview

The Fireye UV8A20 is a precision ultraviolet (UV) flame scanner designed for industrial and commercial burner management and flame safeguard applications. This non-self-checking scanner is engineered with a 90-degree right-angle head, making it ideal for installations with limited space or specific sighting requirements. It features a quartz UV tube filled with an ionizable gas that detects the ultraviolet radiation emitted by fuel flames, providing a reliable signal for burner control systems.

Features

• Ultraviolet (UV) sensing technology for high-speed, accurate flame detection.
• 90-degree angle head allows for lateral viewing in compact burner configurations.
• Durable 20-foot cable provides an extended reach for wiring to remote control panels.
• Non-armored flexible cable design for easier routing in tight spaces.
• Rugged construction suitable for demanding industrial environments.
• Non-self-checking design intended for use with burners that cycle at least once every 24 hours.

Applications

The UV8A20 is widely used in conjunction with Fireye flame safeguard controls, including the M-Series, M-Series II, MicroM, FlameWorx, MB-2, and D-Series, as well as BurnerLogix and Nexus systems. It is specifically recommended for detecting flames from gaseous fuels and light oils, such as natural gas and No. 2 oil. It is commonly applied in industrial boilers, furnaces, and commercial heating systems where a 90-degree mounting orientation is necessary to achieve a clear line of sight to the flame.
