Product Overview

The ABB UR600IR/BGT operates as a high-precision infrared flame scanner within the Uvisor flame-detection platform. This sensor identifies the presence of flames by analyzing the specific flicker amplitude and frequency of infrared radiation. It serves as a frontline safety component in multi-burner environments, providing critical raw signals to the Uvisor MFD controller to distinguish between targeted burner flames and background furnace radiation.

Technical Specifications

The UR600IR/BGT utilizes a Lead Sulphide (PbS) cell to achieve superior spectral sensitivity in industrial combustion environments.

Engineering Advantages

The UR600IR/BGT addresses the most volatile challenges in industrial combustion monitoring through targeted engineering:

• Superior Signal Discrimination: The PbS sensor ignores static background heat and focuses exclusively on the dynamic flicker of the flame. This prevents "false flame" readings caused by hot refractory brick or adjacent burner glow.

• Continuous Safety Integrity: An integrated self-checking mechanism constantly verifies the sensor's health. If the hardware detects a component failure, it immediately alerts the controller, preventing an unsafe "fail-to-on" condition.

• Extreme Heat Management: By employing optional fiber-optic extensions, engineers can install the sensitive electronic head away from high-temperature zones. The probe withstands continuous temperatures up to 350 °C (662 °F), protecting the PbS cell from thermal degradation.

• Explosive Zone Reliability: The EEx-d IIC T6 and ATEX ratings permit direct installation in hazardous petrochemical and power generation environments. The rugged IP66 housing resists the ingress of moisture, corrosive gases, and heavy dust.

FAQs

Is this ABB UR600IR/BGT unit brand new or refurbished?

We supply this UR600IR/BGT as 100% Brand New and Original in its factory packaging. We do not provide "used" or "tested" pulls for safety-critical flame detection applications to ensure maximum operational life and compliance.

Does the scanner require a cooling air supply?

Yes. You must provide a continuous air purge to the scanner to keep the lens clean and maintain the internal temperature within the –10 °C to +85 °C range. We recommend 115 l/min for direct sight installations and up to 400 l/min for extended probe setups.

Can this scanner detect gas, oil, and coal flames?

The UR600IR/BGT excels at detecting infrared radiation typical of oil and coal flames. While it detects gas flames, we recommend verifying the specific infrared flicker characteristics of your fuel type to ensure optimal signal amplitude.

What is the maximum cable distance for the UR600IR/BGT?

You can extend the electrical connection up to 300 meters using a 4 × 0.55 mm² shielded cable without compromising signal integrity to the Uvisor control unit.
