Enhanced performance and digital interface to flame sensor range

Pyreos has brought enhanced performance and a digital interface to its TO-39 packaged flame sensors with the introduction of the ezPyro TO Flame Sensor. This will allow creators to build systems with exceptional price and performance quickly, thanks to the availability of extensive software support. The sensor will meet broader applications in industrial settings than analogue equivalents in the same package because it has greater detection distance. The sensor also has a larger field of view than an equivalent digital sensor offered in a surface-mount package, enabling it to sense larger areas. Typical applications for the sensor include OEM equipment for flame detection in large spaces, such as warehouses, production plants and offices. Outdoor applications include monitoring oil rigs, forestry and other areas in which rapid flame detection is important. “This new range of sensor is set to really make a difference for designers in terms of cost and performance,” said Andrew Wallace, CEO at Pyreos. “The combination of a widely used packaging option, enhanced performance, a digital interface and associated support tools, as well as this product’s thermal and mechanical stability over many years of operation will really reduce system and implementation costs.” The sensor is available with three band-pass filter options (centred at 3.91µm, 4.48µm or 4.55µm), or a high-pass filter that blocks signals at wavelengths of less than 5.0µm.
