UV flame detectors react to the ultraviolet components in the flames’ radiation and they are installed wherever a quick development of open flames is to be expected by the burning of solid or liquid materials such as gases, oils, synthetic materials, wood or metal. Examples of typical usage areas are: thermal power stations and coal-fi red power plants, engine test stands, industrial plants, printing shops, the wood industry and many more.
ESSER has now expanded its portfolio in this field by another reliable, flexible and user-friendly UV flame detector: The UniVario FMX5000UV.ESSER is distributed exclusively and fulfills the requirements of the highest sensitivity class according to EN 54-10, class 1. Moreover, a VdS certification for the FMX5000UV.ESSER has already been applied for. Being dust-proof and splash-proof in compliance with IP67, it can be used inside as well as outside. The UniVario can also be positioned so that it monitors especially high-risk machine areas and units as a whole. This is facilitated by brackets at the detector base which make the installation as well as adjustment easier.
The UniVario is especially reliable thanks to its high false-alarm security (e.g. from lightning), its contamination monitoring and its self-monitoring function. Here, faults are signaled at the detector itself as well as to the control panel. A special esserbus transponder enables the connection of the detector as well as the transmission of alarms and faults to the FACP. The detector is connected directly to the detector zone of the esserbus transponder (part No. 808622) and is supplied via this through the external energy supply of the transponder. When it comes to user-friendliness, the UniVario scores again with its clear operating and fault display on the detector as well as with its ability to carry out maintenance testing via reed contact. The detector’s optics can be easily cleaned by twisting out the protective grating on the detector head.
The UniVario UV Flame Detector FMX- 5000UV.ESSER (Part No. 782313) and the esserbus transponder for UniVario (Part No. 808622) are now available.
