General aspects Warning notes The following warning notes are used in these operating instructions: This warning level indicates an imminent hazardous situa- tion. If the hazardous situation is not prevented, this will result in death or severe injury. Follow the instructions that accompany this warning to prevent the risk of death and severe personal injury.
These operating instructions have to be treated as confi- dential. They may only be used by authorised staff. Ac- cess by third parties may only be granted upon written agreement of BFI Automation. All documents are protected in keeping with the German copyright law.
• non-performance of specified maintenance work It is recommended that the operator of the device con- cludes a service contract with BFI Automation. This guar- antees that the device is regularly checked by our service staff and ensures that any required wearing and spare...
General aspects Obligation of the operating company The flame scanner may cause hazards if it is operated in- appropriately or in an improper condition. The operating company is under the obligation to operate the machine in proper state only. The operating company has to secure hazardous areas that exist between BFI devices and the customer's own equipment.
BFI Automation for consequential damages. BFI Automation is liable for possible errors or omissions with the exclusion of additional claims entered into in the framework of the warranty obligations conceded to in the contract.
This declaration of conformity of the European Communi- ties is the result of an examination of the TD Department of BFI Automation in accordance with the European Standards. If the system will be changed without our ap- proval this declaration will become invalid.
Safety Safety Intended use The flame scanner shall be used exclusively to detect flames in combination with a suitable flame amplifier. The flame scanner and flame amplifier together constitute a complete flame amplifiering system for burners with a random capacity and random fuels in single and multiple burner systems.
Safety Requirements on persons Work on/with the device may only be performed by per- sons authorized to do so based on their training and quali- fication. Furthermore, such persons have to have been commissioned by the operating company. Do not allow any persons who are being apprenticed, educated, instructed or on a general training programme to work on the device without the constant supervision of an experienced person.
Safety Safety instructions The following instructions on accident prevention have to be observed when operating the flame scanner. Only operate the device if it is in a proper state ! • Do not remove or disable safety devices. • Check for externally noticeable damage and defects prior to using the device ! Immediately notify the ap- propriate authority/person of any changes that occur (including changes in operating performance).
Safety Safety devices 2.4.1 Fundamental aspects Check the safety equipment and locking devices on the device for safe operational condition. Only operate the device if all safety devices are present and enabled. The operating company or operator of the flame scanner is responsible for the proper operation of the device.
• Operating and auxiliary materials as well as exchanged parts have to be disposed of in a safe and eco-friendly way. • Spare parts supplied by BFI Automation or approved of by BFI Automation only may be used.
Safety 2.5.2 Electrical / electronic devices Danger to life caused by electrical current! Contact with live wires or components presents a danger to life ! Prior to any work on the electrical equipment, disconnect the flame amplifiering system from the power supply net- work ! In keeping with the electrical regulations, work on electri- cal / electronic parts / components may only be carried...
Safety 2.5.3 Testing in keeping with the German Work- place Safety Ordinance (BetrSichV) In case of the coupling or installation of devices from vari- ous manufacturers or suppliers, the operating company has to carry out a precise test, prior to start-up, in keeping with the German Workplace Safety Ordinance (BetrSichV) in force and the applicable electrical regulations.

Remove the yellow protec- tive sticker on the lens plate for adjustment. The scanner type 2.0GT has been fitted with two potentiometers. The potentiometer located near to the lens plate be used to set the PbS scanner for the spectral range 1050 - 2700 nm.
Technical data 3.5.2 Optical aperture The flame scanner, type 2.0GT, has been fitted with an optical aperture. The aperture permits a control of the ra- diation energy, which is picked up as flame signal by the semi-conductor sensor. It is used to fade out excessive radiation emitted by heavy oil flames, for example, by op- tical means.

Transport, installation and connection 4.7.1 Handling of the KW5-Shieldings Outer shielding: The outer shielding is only connected to the device via the cable gland. On the loose cable end the shielding should be cut off short. Inner shielding: The inner shielding has to be connected to ground of the flame amplifier side.
Description Description Functional description The flame scanner 2.0GT operates on the basis of the spectral analysis method of the UV-VIS and IR flame ra- diation analysis. Both spectral ranges are converted sepa- rately by a dual detector and are analysed selectively with an automatic pre-amplifier and integrated frequency con- troller.
Operation of the flame scanner Operation of the flame scanner For the operation of the flame scanner, please observe the separate operating instructions of the flame amplifier. The response of the flame scanner depends on the burner configuration as well as on the air flow and the spectral characteristic (wave length).
Maintenance and servicing Maintenance and servicing The flame scanner requires no maintenance. For cleaning, use a moist cloth to wipe the housing from the outside only. Do not scratch the lens !
