Product Overview

The UV5-1 is a dedicated ultraviolet flame detection scanner manufactured by Fireye for industrial burner safety and combustion supervision systems. This flame sensor relies on a sealed gas-filled quartz UV tube to capture ultraviolet radiation emitted during fuel combustion, converting UV light into measurable electrical pulse signals and feeding valid flame status back to the main burner safeguard controller. It effectively resolves critical operational risks including unmonitored flame out, delayed safety shutdown response, false lockout triggers, and unreliable detection for gas and light oil burners. Boiler maintenance technicians, combustion system integrators, thermal plant safety engineers and facility managers for heating systems, process furnaces and thermal processing lines gain core safety benefits from deploying this Fireye sensing device. Its lateral viewing mounting design optimises UV capture efficiency inside combustion chambers, while the fully enclosed rugged casing resists dust, temperature swings and minor moisture exposure in boiler rooms and industrial thermal equipment enclosures.
