Fireye UV1A6 Scanner

The Fireye UV1A6 Scanner is a rugged, non-self-checking UV flame scanner designed for integration with Flame-Monitor or MicroM control systems. This industrial flame sensor utilizes a UV-sensitive tube to detect ultraviolet radiation emitted by combustion, making it an essential component for monitoring natural gas flames, propane, and light oil fuels. Built for harsh boiler room environments, the Fireye UV1A6 features a 1/2" NPT threaded mounting coupling and a 6-foot (1800mm) cable for versatile installation. Operating on an ultraviolet spectrum peak of 210 nanometers, this UV tube-style scanner provides high-speed response times necessary for industrial burner safety. It is specifically engineered for front-end mounting on a 1/2" sight pipe, ensuring accurate flame signal strength for consistent burner management performance.

• Industrial Durability: The hermetically sealed UV tube is housed in a robust assembly to withstand vibrations and high-ambient temperatures up to 200??F (93??C).
• Versatile Mounting: Standard 1/2" NPT coupling allows for easy attachment to common sight pipes without custom adapters.
• Universal Fuel Compatibility: Reliable detection across standard gaseous fuels and light oils, ideal for multi-fuel burner applications.
• Direct Integration: Seamlessly interfaces with Fireye burner management systems, including the M-Series and Flame-Monitor controls.

Can the UV1A6 be used for continuous burner operation?
As a non-self-checking UV scanner, the UV1A6 is designed for use with controls that perform a safety check during each burner cycle. For burners operating continuously for more than 24 hours, self-checking scanners like the 45UV5 or 55UV5 series are typically required by code.

How do I prevent "clouding" of the scanner lens?
Always ensure a clean, dry air purge is applied to the 1/2" NPT connection if the application involves high dust levels or positive furnace pressure to keep the UV sensor clear of soot and debris.

What is the maximum run distance for the scanner cable?
While this unit includes a 6-foot cable, the signal can be extended using proper shielded wiring; however, potential signal attenuation must be monitored to maintain the minimum required flame signal volts.
