Overview
The Eclipse 5600-90A is a high-sensitivity ultraviolet (UV) flame scanner designed for reliable flame detection in industrial combustion applications. This 90-degree right angle mounted scanner detects both gas and oil flames that cycle on and off frequently. The Eclipse flame safeguard checks for a short-circuited, or “run-away” scanner at the beginning and end of each flame cycle, providing critical protection against control system failures.
Key Features
- High-sensitivity UV detection: High sensitivity ultraviolet (U.V.) for monitoring gas or oil flames which cycle on and off frequently
- 90-degree right angle mount: Optimized sighting angle for burner flame detection with aluminum housing
- Run-away scanner protection: Built-in safeguard against short-circuited scanners
- Industry certifications: The scanner is UL listed, CSA certified and FM approved
- Extended cable lead: It comes with a 10 ft (305 cm) lead
