Spectra BC30 IR and BC30 UV Flame Sensor
The
SPECTRA BC30 Flame Sensor features IR and UV sensors with built-in
background flame discrimination, making it suitable for a wide variety
of fuels. Compatible with coal, gas and oil burners, the flame sensors
help increase burner efficiency, reduce NOx emissions and improve
safety. In addition to flame ON/OFF, the flame sensor provides real
time status of flame strength and flame frequency for better control of
burner operation. The reliable unit includes failsafe relay contacts
and visual indicators for system health and flame On/Off status. The 4-20mA
analog output and Serial Modbus communication provide real-time flame
signal information for direct connection to burner management systems.
FLAME
DISCRIMINATION
Flame
discrimination is needed to prevent false readings from other burners
or surrounding metal parts. The SPECTRA BC30 has built in flame
discrimination to filter out the background components so you can
accurately determine the flame characteristics and prevent 'false-on'
indications. The characterized flame output is provided through the analog
4-20mA and Modbus communications.
AMFLAME
SOFTWARE
The
AMFLAME software provides quick configuration of the gain and set
points for fine tuning the sensor to your specific application. The
software is PC or PDA compatible and features a real time display of
the flame characteristics to help identify the correct settings.
INSTALLATION
The
SPECTRA BC30 Flame Sensor is easily mounted using a standard 1 inch NPT
internal thread. With the built-in flame discrimination, there is no
need to install external signal processors. Using the RS-485
serial Modbus output, several flame sensors can be connected together
for one common input to a burner management system.
