SAACKE FLUS 06 UV Flame Detector 230VAC

SAACKE FLUS 06 UV Flame Detector 230VAC (Unused New)

The SAACKE FLUS 06 UV Flame Detector (Model: FLUS06UV) is a high-precision, heavy-duty optical flame monitoring device engineered specifically for industrial combustion systems, auxiliary marine boilers, and main propulsion steam generators. Designed to operate seamlessly with SAACKE burner management systems (BMS), this 230VAC unit utilizes a specialized ultraviolet (UV) phototube responsive to short-wave radiation (190 nm to 270 nm). It selectively detects the primary ultraviolet emission bands generated by hydrocarbon flames while filtering out background infrared radiation, refractory glow, and ambient lighting interference. Its ruggedized die-cast aluminum enclosure ensures reliable continuous operation inside harsh marine engine rooms and high-vibration boiler fronts.

Frequently Asked Questions

What causes the SAACKE FLUS 06 to register a false flame failure?

False trips are typically caused by optical lens fouling due to oil mist or soot accumulation, misaligned sighting tube positioning, or degradation of the internal UV phototube over extended operating cycles. Regular inspection and purging air verification resolve most issues.

Can this 230VAC variant replace an older 24VDC model directly?

No. Electrical supply voltages must match strictly. The FLUS 06 is manufactured in distinct voltage configurations. Ensure your burner control panel supplies the designated 230VAC (50/60Hz) power input matching this unit.

How do I test the flame detector without risking a boiler shutdown?

The unit features internal self-monitoring circuitry, and many setup configurations allow a simulated functional check via the BMS panel during burner purge cycles or using an approved external UV testing lamp directed at the sensor aperture.
