D-LX 201 Compact flame monitor
Safe, flexible and selective flame monitoring – for sure
Optical flame monitoring Housing variants

For large industrial combustion plants with many burners,

complex process sequences or even several fuels the
method of optical flame monitoring often is the most
adequate one. It offers a way of monitoring that on one
hand is burner selective as well as fuel selective, on the
other hand can be adapted well to very variable combus-
tion conditions.

To monitor the flame the device evaluates electromag-

netic radiation in the ultraviolet, visible and infrared
region of the spectrum for its flame specific portions and
analyses these in more detail. For this the D-LX 201 inves-
tigates intensity and frequency of the flame flickering as
well as the stability of the flame.

As a safety device the D-LX 201 is built fail safe and self-
monitoring. Through its design as a compact flame
monitor it possesses a direct relay output for the flame
signal. But as a modern flame monitor it also provides
additional information about the flame via adequate bus
systems.
