This bulletin is directed to the licensed boiler service technicians and professional combustion
engineers who are experienced in the installation and operation of Fireye flame safeguard
controls. Persons not experienced with Fireye flame safety products should contact the nearest
Fireye representative, or a qualified service group for assistance. IMPROPER INSTALLA-
TION OF THESE PRODUCTS MAY BE HAZARDOUS TO LIFE AND PROPERTY.
DESCRIPTION
Fireye Type 45UV5 scanners are self-checking, flame sensing devices. When powered by a compat-
ible, self-checking Fireye control, the scanners detect the presence or absence of flames which emit
ultraviolet radiation (UV). Typical fossil fuels which emit UV include natural gas, propane, meth-
ane, butane, kerosene, light petroleum distillates and diesel fuels. For burners firing steam-atomized
oil or pulverized coal, Fireye recommends the use of infrared (IR) scanners. Fireye offers a complete
line of infrared scanners best suited for these applications.
APPLICATION
When used with a Fireye amplifier, the 45UV5 scanner provides flame failure protection on single
and multi-burner industrial applications such as electric utility boilers, power boilers and large fur-
naces or incinerators. The 45UV5 scanner monitors the flame(s) of only one burner. The pilot and
main flames may be monitored individually (2 scanners) or in combination (1 scanner). When prop-
erly sighted, the scanner should discriminate between the burner being monitored and all other burn-
ers and any background flames.
Note: Scanner response is dependent on burner configuration as well as the turbulence and spectral
characteristics of the flames. Application assistance is available on request.

    Also included in the Type 45UV5 scanner is an electromagnetic shutter that permits a self-checking circuit within an associated Fireye control to verify that the scanner and signal circuits are producing valid flame presence or absence information. During the shutter closed period the detector’s optical path is blocked from flame radiation.

    Purge air may be supplied through the 3/8" or 1" wye connection. Normally only one of the two connections is provided with purge air and the other connection is plugged. When a Fireye sealing coupling is used as shown in Figure 7, the 1" wye connection is used for the purge air (plug 3/8"...

    Signal readings referred to in this procedure are as displayed on a 0-3 1, 2 VDC Fireye flame signal meter. (P/N 38-54, 38-55, 38-56). If using analog bargraph meter (P/N 38-88), the flame will be properly sighted when there are 5-8 LEDs illuminated.
  • Page 8 Adjust scanner sighting to detect main burner flame. When sighting is correct (see Figure 6), the signal should read between 4 and 32 on a Flame Signal Meter, Fireye P/N 38-54 or 38-55, with- out extreme fluctuations in the signal reading.

  • Page 11  The scanner should ideally sight a target area of 4 to 25 square inches (25-250cm ) of the flame front. The flame front is a plane within the combustion space separating the region of unburned fuel from the burning fuel. For example, if a 1/2 inch diameter orifice is placed within a mounting swivel one foot from the scanner lens, and the swivel mount is located on the surface of a 4 foot deep wind- box, and if the range of stable flame is 5 feet beyond the windbox, the flame front target area is 19.6 square inches as shown in figure 16 below.
