Forney IDD-Ultra UV Flame Scanner

The Intelligent Dynamic Detector Ultra (IDD-Ultra) is used in conjunction with Forney’s IDD 9000 amplifiers. (For legacy amplifier compatibility, contact Forney.) The IDD-Ultra solid state circuitry amplifies a continuously changing voltage signal transmitted from the Silicon Carbide (SiC) sensor when flame is sensed. This signal is sent to the amplifier by way of a four conductor cable.

The amplifier processes the signal and provides outputs to the burner management system. For trouble-free operation, the electronics of the detector are potted within the cast steel housing. In addition, the amplifier also initiates a periodic check of the sensor and printed circuit board to verify proper operation of the detector assembly, eliminating the need for a mechanical shutter.
