This digital version of the Pyreos flame-sensing technology has a higher signal to noise ratio than its analogue TO-packaged equivalent, which enables it to achieve a sensing range of approximately 85m compared to 60m for the analogue version.<\/p>\n<p>The low thermal mass of the thin-film sensor reduces its warm-up time, enabling fast response times and quicker flame detection.<\/p>\n<p>The sensor works in current mode, rather than voltage mode, which enables better accuracy across the full flame-flicker frequency range of 3 to 30Hz. The current-mode approach also reduces the sensor saturating if a fire breaks out close to it.<\/p>\n<p>The availability of an I\u00b2C digital interface, a supporting application programming interface (API), an evaluation kit and C code examples for the ezPyro TO Flame Sensor make it easier for all system designers, including those without analogue experience, to incorporate high-performance flame sensors in robust TO-39 packages into their designs.<\/p>\n<p>The I\u00b2C bus simplifies the process of connecting the ezPyro TO Flame Sensor to microcontrollers, and enables designers to configure the sensor\u2019s gain, filtering, sampling rate and power modes digitally.<\/p>\n<p>The I\u00b2C serial bus also makes it easy to connect multiple ezPyro sensors on one interface.<\/p>\n<p>The ability to configure the sensor digitally using the I\u00b2C bus means that its performance can be tuned on a production line or in operation, and that multiple product variants or performance options can be supported through software selection.<\/p>\n<p>These characteristics should shorten design cycles as well as reducing the bill of materials for individual designs that use the sensor, and the stockholding necessary to offer multiple product variants.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis new range of sensor is set to really make a difference for designers in terms of cost and performance,\u201d said Andrew Wallace, CEO at Pyreos. \u201cThe combination of a widely used packaging option, enhanced performance, a digital interface and associated support tools, as well as this product\u2019s thermal and mechanical stability over many years of operation will really reduce system and implementation costs.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The ezPyro TO Flame Sensor is available with three band-pass filter options (centred at 3.91\u03bcm, 4.48\u03bcm or 4.55\u03bcm), or a high-pass filter that blocks signals at wavelengths of less than 5.0\u03bcm.<\/p>\n<p>An evaluation kit \u2013 dPYEFL02 &#8211; with PC software that enables sensor configuration, signal visualisation and capture to file is available.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pyreos is bringing enhanced performance and a digital interface to its TO-39 packaged flame sensors with the introduction of the ezPyro TO Flame Sensor.
