Fireye 45UV5-1101 Scanner
The Fireye 45UV5-1101 Self-Checking UV Scanner is a fail-safe, high-performance flame detector engineered for continuous-duty industrial burners and multi-burner combustion systems. As a veteran-grade ultraviolet flame sensor, it utilizes a specialized gas-filled UV tube to detect radiation in the 2200 to 2600 angstrom range, making it immune to infrared "hot body" radiation from furnace refractory. This 1101 model features a 1-inch BSP mounting thread and is designed for 50 Hz/60 Hz operation when integrated with compatible Fireye Flame Safeguard controls like the BurnerLogix, Flame-Monitor, or MicroM series.
The integrated electromagnetic shutter is the core of its self-checking technology, periodically blocking the optical path to verify the integrity of the UV tube and internal circuitry. This diagnostics cycle ensures that the system provides a pulsed flame signal only when a valid flame is present, preventing hazardous "flame-on" false positives. Constructed with a die-cast aluminum housing and sealed with oil-resistant gaskets, this industrial UV scanner is built to withstand the rigors of boiler rooms and process heating environments. For optimal performance in high-heat applications, the housing includes a 3/8-inch NPT connection for purge air to maintain sensor cooling and lens clarity.
Key Benefits for Contractors:- Universal Fuel Compatibility: Reliably monitors flames from natural gas, propane, methane, kerosene, and diesel fuels.
- Advanced Signal Integrity: Planoconvex quartz lens increases sensitivity and allows for greater sighting distances up to 72 inches.
- Rugged Environmental Protection: NEMA 4X rated and designed for hazardous locations (Class I, Div. 1 & 2, Groups C & D; Class II, Div. 1 & 2, Groups E, F, & G).
- Simplified Maintenance: Features a hinged mounting flange with a quick-release design for rapid lens cleaning and inspection without complete disassembly.
- Fail-Safe Logic: Shutter-driven diagnostics ensure the combustion system safety sensor will never fail in a "flame-on" state.
What is the difference between the 45UV5-1101 and the 45UV5-1001?
The 1101 model is typically specified with a 1-inch BSP (British Standard Pipe) mounting thread, whereas the 1001 model uses a standard 1-inch NPT thread. Always verify your sight pipe threading before installation.
Can I use the 45UV5-1101 with oil-fired burners?
It is highly effective for light petroleum distillates and diesel. However, for heavy steam-atomized oil or pulverized coal, Fireye recommends switching to an infrared (IR) scanner due to the UV-blocking characteristics of heavy smoke and soot.
How much purge air is required for this scanner?
Under normal conditions, a flow of 4 SCFM is sufficient. In high-temperature or extremely dirty environments, you may need to increase this to 15 SCFM to protect the internal electronic components and prevent soot buildup on the lens.
