AME DETECTORS
DIGITAL PROFILE DETECTOR™
T HE PATENTED D IGITAL P ROFILE D ETECTOR (DPD) USES A MICROPROCESSOR TO
continuously monitor the frequency and amplitude characteristics of a burner
flame. Every flame has a unique profile - a digital fingerprint. The Digital Profile
Detector constantly compares the real time flame image to the learned
profile stored in its memory. The detector’s microprocessor uses
sophisticated algorithms to precisely determine the flame’s on/off
condition, allowing for reliable discrimination in a multi-burner
environment.
Depending on customer needs, both the Super-Blue Digital Profile
Detector (UV) and the Classic Digital Profile Detector (IR) are
available. The Super-Blue features a super-blue silicon cell that is
sensitive to radiation prevalent in gas flames and/or oil flames. The
Classic incorporates a lead sulfide cell for infrared detection and is best
suited for coal and/or oil flames. The automatic signal amplification
circuitry and the use of multiple storage files allow each Digital Profile
Detector to adapt to each application.
•SOPHISTICATED SMARTDISPLAY ™-
The scrolling LED display provides quick
set-up, precise aiming, and instant flame
signal readout.
• SIMPLIFIED PROGRAMMING AND
OPERATIONS - With the push button
keypad, the detector can be programmed to
learn flame data in just minutes.
• FIBER OPTIC CONNECTIONS - For
space constricted applications, fiber optics
can work through the tightest burner
configurations.
• SIMPLIFIED MAINTENANCE - In the
event of failure, downloading and uploading
flame characteristics to a replacement
detector head is possible.
• SAFE OPERATION - 24 VDC
operation.
• USER FRIENDLY - Program and view
multiple detector’s status from a remote PC.
• OPTIFLAME COMPATIBILITY - The
OptiFlame burner balancing software uses
the detector’s signal to help fine tune the
performance of a burner.
