It acts as a watchful eye, ensuring reliable and safe operation of boilers and heaters. By continuously monitoring the flame presence, the 55UV5-1009 helps prevent accidental extinguishment and gas leaks, minimizing the risk of explosions and fires. The scanner's accurate flame detection ensures optimal fuel combustion, leading to increased boiler or heater efficiency and reduced fuel consumption. The self-checking feature and reliable performance minimize the need for manual inspections and maintenance, resulting in less downtime for your equipment. The 55UV5-1009 Fireye UV flame scanner provides operators with confidence in their burner's safe and efficient operation, allowing them to focus on other tasks.

Key features:

• Detects UV emissions: The 55UV5-1009 uses a UV-sensitive tube to detect the ultraviolet radiation emitted by burning fossil fuels like natural gas, propane, kerosene, and diesel. This allows it to reliably identify the presence or absence of a flame.
• Self-checking: This scanner features an automatic self-checking mechanism that verifies its own functionality at regular intervals. This ensures continuous reliability and minimizes the risk of undetected malfunctions.
• Compatible with various control systems: The 55UV5-1009 works seamlessly with Fireye's Flame-Monitor, BurnerLogiX, D-Series, FlameWorx, MicroM, and some P-Series control models, providing integrated flame safety and monitoring solutions.
• Adjustable settings: The scanner offers adjustable parameters like flame signal strength and timing intervals to optimize its performance for specific burner configurations and fuel types.
• Durable construction: Built with robust materials and a NEMA 4 enclosure rating, the 55UV5-1009 withstands harsh industrial environments, including dust, moisture, and extreme temperatures.

Faulty Signs of Fireye 55UV5-1009 Flame Scanner

The 55UV5-1009 flame sensor plays a crucial role in ensuring the safe and efficient operation of fossil fuel burners. However, like any equipment, it can encounter issues affecting its performance. Here are some signs to watch out for:

Flame Detection Issues:

• Frequent burner shutdowns: If the burner shuts down unexpectedly due to "no flame" signals despite a clear flame, it could indicate a faulty UV sensor, misalignment, or internal processing problems.
• Delayed or erratic flame detection: If the scanner takes longer than usual to detect a flame or displays fluctuating readings, it might be due to sensor degradation, misalignment, or electrical problems.
• False flame signals: If the scanner detects a flame even when the burner is off, it could be due to internal malfunctions or interference from external sources like sunlight or welding arcs.

Operational Issues:

• Error codes: The Fireye control system might display specific error codes related to the 55UV5-1009's operation. Consult the Fireye documentation for detailed interpretations of these codes.
• Unresponsive communication: If the scanner stops communicating with the control system, it could be due to wiring problems, faulty connections, or internal component failures.
• Physical damage: Visible cracks, burn marks, or loose connections on the scanner's housing can compromise its functionality and safety.

Safety Concerns:

• Gas leaks: If the scanner malfunctions and fails to detect a flame extinguishment, it could lead to gas leaks posing a fire hazard.
• Unexpected burner operation: If the scanner provides incorrect flame signals, it could lead to unintended burner ignition or continued operation with low flame quality, potentially causing equipment damage or safety risks.
