Flame Sensors

Product view

Flame Sensors

Proves the flame is genuinely there, by ionisation current or UV signal.

The BC-F range covers both flame-proving principles: ionisation probes for stable gas flames with a good earth path, and UV cells for larger flames, dual-fuel duty or where a probe cannot be positioned reliably. Either way the controller sees a real, continuous signal from a real flame — not an assumption that ignition succeeded.

Features

  • •Ionisation probe and UV cell variants
  • •Ceramic-insulated probe body for high-temperature service
  • •Sub-second flame-failure response
  • •Screened lead sets to suppress ignition interference
  • •Direct fit to standard burner mounting flanges

Frequently asked questions

What engineers most often ask when specifying this equipment.

Ionisation probes are simpler and cheaper and work well on stable, well-defined gas flames with a good earth path. UV cells suit larger flames, oil/gas dual-fuel duty and installations where the probe cannot be positioned reliably.
