Key Features and Benefits
Precise UV Detection: The FIREYE 25SU3-2100 utilizes a UV phototube optimized for the 185 – 260 nm wavelength range, which is emitted by most combustion flames but not by common background sources like sunlight or hot surfaces. This targeted sensing ensures accurate flame detection, minimizing false alarms in busy industrial environments. For example, in a gas-fired boiler room, it can reliably distinguish between a valid flame and UV radiation from nearby arc welding equipment, ensuring uninterrupted operation.

Rapid Response: With a response time of less than 100 milliseconds, the FIREYE 25SU3-2100 provides immediate detection of flame presence or loss. This speed is critical in applications such as oil refinery heaters, where a sudden flame failure could lead to dangerous fuel accumulation. The quick response enables rapid activation of safety shutdown systems, reducing the risk of explosions or equipment damage.
Extreme Environment Resilience: Built to withstand harsh conditions, the detector operates within a wide temperature range of -40°C to 70°C, making it suitable for both cold climates (e.g., outdoor winter installations) and high-heat industrial settings (e.g., foundry furnaces). Its IP66 enclosure rating protects against dust, rain, and high-pressure water jets, ensuring reliability in wet or dirty environments like wastewater treatment plants or food processing facilities.
Simple Integration: The 120 VAC power supply aligns with standard industrial electrical systems, simplifying installation in legacy setups. The 3/4″ NPT threaded mount allows for easy attachment to pipes, brackets, or equipment surfaces, while the 6-foot shielded cable ensures flexible positioning. The SPDT relay output directly interfaces with combustion controllers, alarm panels, or fuel shutoff valves, eliminating the need for additional interface modules.
Hazardous Location Compliance: Certified for Class I, Div 2 hazardous locations, the FIREYE 25SU3-2100 is safe for use in environments with potentially flammable gases or vapors, such as chemical storage facilities or paint booths. This certification ensures it meets strict safety standards, providing peace of mind in high-risk applications.
