EZ-FLAME

FLAME DETECTION SYSTEM

A truly advanced and user friendly flame detection system engineered for critical
safety functions in the Power Generation, Petrochemical, Metallurgy, and Pulp &
Paper industries. Dual channel capabilities for IR, UV, or a combination UV and IR
flame scanners provide flexibility to our customers. Each channel on the amplifier
can store two user defined program files to distinguish unique flame
characteristics.

Safe-Fire’s EZ-Flame detection system performs accurate measurements on

burner flames at various stages of boiler startup and during operation to deliver
reliable performance in oil, gas, and coal-fired burner applications.
F E AT U R E S

• Utilizes 3 flame characteristics for reliable detection

• Superb discrimination
• Dual-channel amplifier
• 2 selectable program files per channel
• Simple and intuitive user interface
• User defined flame thresholds
