Forney IDD 9000 Amplifier User Manual
Idd 9000 flame detector amplifier
Product Overview
Reliable flame detection and burner-to-burner discrimination in
multi-burner boilers is significantly more challenging with the NFPA 85
requirement to prove “flame not detected” prior to burner start-up. This
NFPA requirement along with difficult discrimination challenges, such as
low NOx burners and opposed fired boilers, are demanding more powerful
signal analysis and tuning capability from flame detection systems. The
IDD 9000 employs a Digital Signal Processor (DSP) based flame signal
processing method to offer advanced tuning capabilities necessary for a
NFPA compliant system.
The IDD 9000 Flame Amplifier is designed for easy upgrade of
existing Forney flame amplifiers with most installations simply requiring a
flame amplifier replacement and reconnection of existing wires to improve
flame detection and discrimination. The IDD 9000 is available in panel
or rack mount; single or dual channel configurations. The dual channel
configurations use two fully independent channels to support two flame
detectors simultaneously.
Compatibility
• Amplifier Upgrades - The IDD 9000 can replace most Forney flame
amplifiers, panel or rack mount, in any application with complete
compatibility.
• Flame Detector - Works with all versions of Forney’s IDD and UV-4
detectors.
• Analog Output - Flame intensity output is available in either
0-10 VDC or 4-20 mA.
IDD 9000 Flame Detector Amplifier
• Enhanced Discrimination and Tuning -
Increased IDD frequency response options
along with spectrum weighting capability
for tuning to unique flame patterns.
• Storage for eight operating profiles allows
BMS controlled or manual file switching
for instantaneous recall of optimized
performance for a variety of fuels and
burner operating conditions.
• Flame signal processing can be IR only or
UV only on each channel.
• Connecting an IDD and UV-4 flame
detector to one dual channel IDD 9000
amplifier allows supervision of a burner/
igniter pair.
Factory Mutual Approved
• Factory Mutual (FM) approval means safe
operation and lower insurance rates
The IDD 9000 Flame Detector Amplifier
provides enhanced discrimination and
tuning for NFPA compliant systems and
offers a single retrofit solution for multiple
discrete legacy amplifiers.
