Apollo Intelligent Base Mounted UV Flame Detector (55000-022APO)
Product Details for Apollo Intelligent Base Mounted UV Flame Detector (55000-022APO)
Operation
The detector is sensitive to ultraviolet radiation emitted by flames during combustion. Since it requires only UV radiation the detector responds even to stationary flames with no flicker like cigarette lighters and blue gas flames.
The detector is set to respond to ultraviolet radiation (185−260nm) emitted by almost all flames, including those invisible to the naked eye, e.g. hydrogen fires.
The detector has a single UV sensor with a narrow spectral response in order to discriminate between flames and most spurious sources of radiation and is designed for internal fully enclosed areas.
Caution: The detector will also detect electrical discharges from lightning or arc welding.
Electrical Description
The detectors are loop powered and need no external supply. A remote LED alarm indication may be connected to the flame detector.
Application
UV flame detectors are used when detection is required to be unaffected by convection currents, draughts or wind. These include engine rooms in ships, factories affected by draughts or wind and warehouses.
They are fast reacting and respond to a flame more than 25m away. The UV flame detector is affected by arc welding, electrical sparks, lightning, nuclear radiation and UV light sources. For applications where these phenomena are present a UV flame detector should not be used.
