Burner Management System Flame Detection
Connect UV flame sensors, detectors, and signal logic with burner management systems that require reliable proof-of-flame detection.
Engineering Review Points
For a burner management system, detector selection must be reviewed together with the amplifier or controller, proof-of-flame timing, startup and shutdown sequence, fail-safe behavior, wiring supervision, alarm logic, and commissioning procedure.
Recommended Selection Process
| Step | Engineering decision | Output |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Define conditions | Fuel type, flame visibility, operating temperature, viewing path, and environmental load. | Application baseline |
| 2. Match detector type | Choose between a UV tube plus amplifier and an integrated UV detector, then verify output logic, supply voltage, response timing, wiring, mounting, diagnostics, and controller acceptance criteria. | Shortlist of product options |
| 3. Confirm integration | Signal logic, response time, wiring, mounting, BMS interface, and safety expectations. | Sampling or quotation direction |

Burner Management System flame detection FAQ
What affects Burner Management System flame detection performance most?
Proof-of-flame timing, output logic, detector and amplifier matching, fail-safe behavior, wiring supervision, burner sequence, and commissioning criteria are the key factors.
Can Sartec Photoelectronics help choose a detector?
Yes. Sartec Photoelectronics can review the application, current model, installation environment, and replacement target before recommending product options.
Is model number matching enough?
No. Model number matching is useful, but engineers should also confirm mechanical fit, electrical interface, optical response, and system safety requirements.
