Page 11: Introduction
2 Introduction 2.1 System Overview The Quasar 8100-EXP Pilot Monitor (PM), Flare Monitor (FM), and Smoke Monitor (SM) are unique monitoring and detection instruments designed for continuous duty monitoring of Pilot Flame, Flaring and Smoke on Flares. The heart of the LumaSense E T QUASAR M8100-EXP Flare Monitoring System is the non-contact infrared Electro-Optical package, which can be removed from the explosion proof housing for repairs or replacement, while leaving all wiring and alignment of the system intact... -
Page 12: System Features
A sight-through optical system and selection of various optical resolutions (fields of view) enable the QUASAR M8100-EXP to be positioned as far as 1/4 mile (400 m) from the stack being monitored. Alignment on the target is accomplished using exceptional sight-through optics and the M-3 Heavy Duty Swivel Mount. -
Page 13: Principle Of Operation
2.3 Principle of Operation All objects above absolute zero emit infrared energy. The amount of energy emitted is proportional to the body’s temperature. The QUASAR M8100-EXP collects this energy by means of a focusing optical system concentrating the energy from a body onto a sensitive infrared detector. -
Page 14: Pm: Pilot Monitor's Flame Sensitive Wavelength
2.4.2 PM: Pilot Monitor’s Flame Sensitive Wavelength The QUASAR M8100PM-EXP uses a single select filter allowing the electronics to amplify the IR energy of interests over the background IR energy. This allows the Pilot Monitor to achieve high sensitivity and dynamic range. 2.4.3 FM: Flare Monitor’s Flame Sensitive Wavelength The QUASAR M8100FM-EXP uses a single select filter allowing the electronics to amplify the IR... - Page 15 Note: Secure power input lines together after connection to the Terminal block to prevent an accidental hazardous live condition in the unlikely event that a terminal screw becomes loose. Sleeve or tie wrapping is acceptable. b. Connect the instrument loops and alarm outputs: i.
