Product Overview
The Fireye 95UVS2-1 Enhanced Model Insight Scanner is a self-checking ultraviolet flame detector manufactured by Fireye, a long-established specialist in burner management and combustion safety. Designed as a direct evolution of the original 95UVS2 family, the Fireye 95UVS2-1 Enhanced Model Insight Scanner is engineered to confirm the presence of a stable flame in gas, oil, and dual-fuel burners, then report that status to the burner control within seconds so that fuel can be safely admitted—or shut off—without human intervention. Its role is foundational to any automatic combustion system: a scanner that fails to see flame must be treated as a flame-out, and a scanner that falsely reports flame is a safety hazard, so the entire reliability of the burner management system rests on the sensor’s ability to distinguish the two conditions correctly.
At the heart of the Fireye 95UVS2-1 Enhanced Model Insight Scanner is a sealed ultraviolet-sensitive tube that responds to the UV-C radiation present in all hydrocarbon flames but absent from most ambient and artificial light sources. This gives the device inherent immunity to incandescent bulb light, welding arcs from unrelated equipment, and the glow of refractory surfaces, while still detecting flame at the low ultraviolet intensities typical of marginal or unstable combustion. The “Enhanced Model” designation brings a refined optical and electronic design with a 3-second response time, a 0.5-second self-check cycle, and an input voltage range of 6 to 16 VDC (12 VDC nominal), all delivered through a compact 5-pin, 5-terminal connection. The Fireye 95UVS2-1 Enhanced Model Insight Scanner is rated for continuous duty from -40°F to +250°F, making it suitable for the hostile conditions found directly on burner fronts, in high-temperature boiler rooms, and on outdoor packaged burner skids.
