• Virtually immune to interference due to its insensitivity to daylight, infrared radiation and incandescent bulbs • Maximum safety thanks to protection against discontinuity or short-circuit on the flame signal cable • Suits industrial needs due to robust design • Complies with the requirements of EN 298 in conjunction with Kromschröder automatic burner control units and burner control units
1 Application For monitoring gas burners of unlimited capacity with or without fan, on hot-air furnaces, gas-fired boilers, industrial furnaces and excess-gas flaring installations in conjunction with Kromschröder automatic burner control units and burner control units. The UV sensors monitor the gas burners in intermittent operation. The burners can either be ignited directly or operated as pilot and main burners.
UVS 10 UV sensors UVS 1, UVS 6 and UVS 8 can be replaced by using various adapters with a heat guard made of quartz glass.
3 Function The UV tube detects the ultraviolet light of a flame. In the case of incident UV light, alternating current flows through the UV tube and is converted into a DC signal by the UV sensor. The DC signal can be processed by a flame signal amplifier. The UV tube does not respond to daylight, incandescent bulb light or infrared radiation emitted by hot workpieces or red-hot furnace walls. The designed lifetime of the UV tube is approximately 10,000 operating hours. For safety reasons, it must be replaced after this period. UVS 10
A quartz glass heat guard insulates the UV tube against the hot furnace atmosphere and protects against moisture, dirt and heat.
