Description Description Functional description The flame scanner 2.0L operates on the basis of the spectral analysis method of the UV-VIS and IR flame ra- diation analysis. The flame radiation will be coupled via the lens of the SKL-probe into the fibre optic cable and transfered to the semi conductor sensor.
Operation of the flame scanner Operation of the flame scanner For the operation of the flame scanner, please observe the separate operating instructions of the flame amplifier. The flame scanner is scheduled for the operation with a fibre optic cable. Observe separate operating instruction of the fibre optic cable.
Maintenance and servicing Maintenance and servicing The flame scanner requires no maintenance. For cleaning, use a moist cloth to wipe the housing from the outside only.
