Flame Scanner Compact Version

IFC 400

Robust Flame Scanner Compact Version for harsh industrial applications with continuous operation and radial visibility.

Continuous operation
3-channel flame signal evaluation
Cost-effective monitoring for standard applications
Output signal either potential-free relay contacts or ionization simulation
Different designs for optimum alignment with the flame - IFC axial and IFR radial
CE-certified, stand-alone flame detector - simple implementation of the flame detector in existing systems
Metal housing with protection class IP 65 for industrial applications
With various voltage versions, the IFC/IFR is operated directly with mains voltage and therefore does not require an additional voltage transformer
IFx-COM readout tool for visualizing the flame signals and logging the measurement data

Description

Robust, Flame Scanner Compact Version for harsh industrial applications where continuous operation is required. The IFx series is characterized by a robust die-cast aluminium housing with protection class IP 65. The housing concept allows the device to be replaced quickly on site. The Flame Scanner Compact Version has an IP 65 metal housing and was developed for industrial systems that require cost-effective monitoring without a wide range of functions.

The IFx series is divided into two basic types: the IFC for axial orientation and the IFR for radial orientation. The radial view design allows a permanently functioning flame scanner to be mounted at the positions of a monobloc burner that are normally intended for intermittent flame scanners. In addition to the usual design of the signal output with relay contacts for a PLC control or suitable automatic ignition systems, we also offer an ionization simulation that can be operated in continuous mode. The IFx 400 can be used directly in systems that only provide an ionization flame sensor but require optical monitoring for certain reasons.

Using the IFx-COM evaluation tool, you can read out and save all the information in the flame monitor. This makes it easy to analyze the pending flame and its monitoring quality.
