Key Features and Benefits

Dual-Spectrum Detection: The FIRE 95DSS2-1 utilizes both UV and IR sensing technologies to distinguish between genuine flames and false signals. The UV sensor detects the short-wavelength radiation emitted during combustion, while the IR sensor targets the 4.3 μm wavelength specific to CO₂, a byproduct of hydrocarbon combustion. This dual approach eliminates false alarms from sources like hot refractory materials, arc welding, or sunlight, ensuring reliable detection in challenging environments—such as coal-fired boilers with heavy soot buildup.

Wide Fuel Compatibility: Designed to detect flames from a broad range of fuels, including natural gas, oil, coal, and biomass, the scanner adapts to diverse industrial processes. In a biomass power plant, for example, it can reliably detect flames from wood pellets or agricultural waste, even with varying moisture content or combustion characteristics.

Extreme Environment Durability: With a NEMA 4X (IP66) enclosure and operating temperature range of -40°C to 85°C, the FIRE 95DSS2-1 thrives in harsh conditions. Its cast aluminum housing with high-temperature epoxy coating resists corrosion, vibration, and water ingress, making it suitable for outdoor installations (e.g., waste-to-energy incinerators) or coastal facilities exposed to salt spray.

Rapid Response Times: The scanner’s fast response to flame presence (< 1 second) and loss (< 2 seconds) ensures timely activation of safety systems. In a gas-fired furnace, for instance, it can trigger fuel valve shutdowns within seconds of flame loss, preventing unburned gas accumulation and potential explosions.

Flexible Output Options: Equipped with both relay and analog outputs, the FIRE 95DSS2-1 integrates seamlessly with combustion control systems, PLCs, and SCADA networks. The relay output can directly actuate safety shutdowns, while the 4-20 mA signal provides continuous flame intensity data for process optimization—useful in adjusting fuel-air mixtures for efficiency in industrial boilers.

Related Models

FIRE 95DSS1-1: A single-spectrum (IR-only) variant, ideal for applications with consistent fuel types (e.g., natural gas boilers) where UV detection is unnecessary. It offers a cost-effective alternative to the FIRE 95DSS2-1 for simpler combustion systems.

FIRE 95DSS2-2: A long-cable version with a 20 ft (6 m) cable, designed for installations where the scanner must be positioned far from the control cabinet—such as large industrial furnaces with extended combustion chambers. It retains all features of the FIRE 95DSS2-1 but with enhanced cable length.

FIRE 95DSS2-EX: An explosion-proof model certified for Zone 0/1 hazardous areas, featuring reinforced housing and intrinsic safety barriers. It is suitable for oil refineries or chemical plants where flammable vapors may be present, offering enhanced safety over the standard FIRE 95DSS2-1.

FIRE 95USS2-1: A UV-only scanner optimized for high-temperature applications (up to 120°C), such as glass manufacturing kilns. It lacks the IR sensor of the FIRE 95DSS2-1 but excels in environments where UV radiation is the primary flame signature.
