Note: Four Scanners per elevation on either every elevation or every other
elevation depending on boiler operation. Fuel is injected from corners and the
entire fireball is considered one burner. Before “Fireball” is established (typically
above 30% of full load), individual burner discrimination is required.

senses:
Flame “ON”
Flame “OFF”
Fiber optic scanner
3”seal pipe 2-3” hole in spinner vane

TM
The Uvisor SF810i integrated sensor & processing unit reduces overall hardware costs and is available either
with a single or dual sensor capability for sensing multiple fuels.
• Single scanner head (integrated) SINGLE sensor, targeting single burner flame (gaseous, liquid or
pulverized fuels)

General Terms/Understanding
Discrimination - Proving flame on a specific burner and

not from background radiation produced by adjacent or
opposing burners
Fireball - Single burner flame philosophy on former CE

Flame Scanner Principle of Operation
Light energy is converted to Electrical signal
Signal evaluated for frequency component and intensity
Three frequency based signal processing methods used
− Peak detection/counting
− Band pass filtering
− Flame “Signature” (FFT)
Measured values compared to programmed trip points

The Key to Successful Flame Scanning
Scanner head - Right scanner for

fuel(s) and burner type
Position – Scanner is only as good as
what it sees
Air – Sufficient, CLEAN, Cool
