Flame detector goes infrared.


The IR system monitors the flame in the dryer's and water heaters' burners. It replaces the old ultraviolet (UV) flame detection system. The new IR does a better job of monitoring me name man me old UV did.

The UV system is made up of the following parts:

* purge card, PN 6-1-8048

* terminal box, NSN NSN National Stock Number
NSN Nokia Siemens Networks
NSN National Storytelling Network
NSN NATO Stock Number
NSN New Substances Notification (CEPA)
NSN National Student Number (NZ)
NSN Never Say Never
 4510-01-313-9892

* scanner control, NSN 4510-01-223-6446

* flame safeguard control, NSN 4540-01-230-8586

To upgrade to the new IR system, you'll need a conversion kit, NSN 6150-01-497-0505. The kit contains the following items:

* controller, NSN 6695-01-496-4749

* programmer module, NSN 5998-01-496-3870

* circuit card, NSN 5998-01-496-5834

* photoelectric cell photoelectric cell or photocell, device whose electrical characteristics (e.g., current, voltage, or resistance) vary when light is incident upon it. , NSN 5961-01-145-7162

* terminal box, NSN 5940-01-313-9892

Because of the conversion kit, the initial cost of the IR system is greater than that of the UV system. But once you discount the cost of the conversion kit, the components of the IR system cost less than those of the UV system. The kit is a onetime purchase.

Installation instructions come with the conversion kit. If you need help, contact your local logistics assistance representative (LAR). Or phone the TACOM TACOM Tank-Automotive and Armaments Command (US Army)

One Cleaning Tip

The viewing area of the photoelectric cell must be kept clean. Use a soft cloth to gently wipe the cell's glass-like surface. Even small amounts of dust and dirt will keep the flame's radiation signal from reaching the detector.
