C Pyroelectric Infrared Flame Sensor
Introduction
The ezPyro range of thin film digital pyroelectric sensors for
flame detection combines high quality sensors with a high
level of configurable electronic integration in an industry
standard TO-39 package. High sensitivity combined with
fast response times ensure rapid and accurate flame
detection. The high dynamic range allows detection of
small and large flames, nearby or over larger distances.
These sensors integrate a digital, current mode read-out
offering high responsivity over the full frequency range of
flame flicker (3-30 Hz). Programmable gain and filtering
offer maximum flexibility in system design. Industry
standard I
2
C communication enables plug-and-play connectivity to microcontrollers and allows easy tuning and
calibration. Pyreos sensors are very stable over time ensuring a long and maintenance-free operational lifespan.
Various optical filter options are available. These sensors can also be daisy-chained to allow synchronized sampling
across devices and offer various low power modes.
