2.1 MECHANICAL Mount the Flame Tracker Lite on a sight tube with 1” NPT male threads. Ensure that the sight tube has an unobstructed view of the flame. The sight tube should be adjusted to maximize the view of the flame. The line of sight for the sensor should be at a shallow angle to the burner center line and should pass through the primary combustion zone of the flame.

FS-9100OM – REV B The Flame Tracker Lite is connected to the control system as a typical two wire current transmitter. It can be operated from any well-filtered dc supply from 12 volts to 30 volts. The supply should be capable of supplying 100 milliamps.
2.4 SENSOR CHECKOUT A UV light source in the range of 200-400 nm is required to test the Flame Tracker Lite. Many LED flashlights do not emit UV light. Incandescent flashlights will work. A good solution is a light that is specifically made to emit UV light, such as the Streamlight Stylus UV pen light, manufacturer part number 65069.
Misalignment of the sight tube Check the squareness of all flanges operation and pipes of the sensor mount. Verify that the sensors have a clear view of the primary combustion zone of the flame. Copyright 2020 Baker Hughes Holdings LLC. All rights reserved...
