In combination with four ranges, optimum monitoring of the most variable and complex combustion situations is guaranteed.Certified cybersecurityThe Flame Supervisor offers certification in accordance with IEC 62443-4-2 (parameter configuration is still available with the Flame Companion app).Fiber optics based version (D-LX 27x0)Flexible or rigid tube for complex conditions such as tilting burners, high temperatures in combustion chambers, space constraints or high vibrations.ApplicationsThe compact flame scanner is essential in any industry that relies on thermal energy which involves the use of a flame as part of its production process. This includes systems where energy is used to generate steam, hot water, hot air, or to transform product states (e.g., solid to liquid or gas), as well as in thermal decomposition processes like steam cracking in the petrochemical industry.The DURAG Flame Supervisor is perfectly adapted for a large variety of burners, regardless of the manufacturing company. Excepting very small boilers or burners, where ionization flame supervisors are more adapted, the product fits almost everywhere.Typical applications and use casesCement and building materials industry:Used for flame monitoring in rotary kilns and calciner burners to ensure safe and efficient combustion. Helps to optimize fuel use, ensure product quality, and reduce downtime.Power generation and utilities:Ensures reliable flame detection in boilers, burners, gas turbines and duct burners, supporting safety systems and regulatory compliance in fossil fuel and biomass plants.Metal and steel production:Applied in reheat furnaces, ladle preheaters, and annealing furnaces to ensure consistent flame presence.Food and beverage processing:Provides safe flame control in industrial ovens and dryers, ensuring product quality and meeting strict hygiene and safety standards.Industrial furnaces and kilns:Ideal for diverse high-temperature processes, supporting precise control and early fault detection in thermal applications.Oil and gas industry:Used in process heaters and reformers to monitor flame stability in dirty and hazardous environments, ensuring safety and process reliability.Petrochemical, refinery, and chemical plants:Critical in high-risk zones for burner management in complex combustion systems - contributes to operational safety and compliance with SIL-3 and ATEX / FM EX requirements.Pulp and paper manufacturing:Deployed in steam boilers, recovery boilers and lime kilns to safeguard continuous processes and reduce unplanned outages.Waste and hazardous waste incineration:Ensures continuous flame supervision of the start-up burners regardless the fuel, supporting environmental compliance and efficient energy recovery.Industries using alternative fuels (RDF/SRF):Cement and building materials industry, Waste-to-energy (WtE) plants, Biomass and co-firing plants, Glass, ceramics, and lime production, etc. These fuels introduce unstable combustion characteristics. The compact flame scanner offers robust, interference-free flame detection for safe, efficient, and adaptive burner management.Technical DataSpectral rangeUL: 185 ... 260 nmUA: 305 ... 480 nmUI: 220 ... 360 nm and 780 ... 1.800 nm (D-LX 2XX0)IG 780 … 1.800 nm (D-LX 1100)SafetySelf-monitoring and fail-safe, supports safety chains up to SIL3Switching thresholdFlame intensityLocal display (LEDs)Operating status, flame ON, current FFDT, flame intensity, Auto Learn (only D-LX 2XX0), Bluetooth (optional for D-LX 2XX0)Flame failure detection time (FFDT)0.5 ... 5 s (in 0.5 s increments)Flame ON contactsNormally open, active when flame ONFlame OFF contactsNormally closed, active when flame OFFReady for operation contact, changeover contact (SPDT)One output active if there is no faultOne output active in case of failureSwitching capacity, relay contactsMax 50 V= , Max. 0.5 A; 230 V~, 0.2 AAnalog output2 x 0/4 ... 20 mA (selectable), load max. 750 OhmView angle6°Electrical data24 V= ±20%; 5 W; PELV (in accordance with IEC 60730-1)Ambient conditions, detectorUL: -40 … +85 °CUA: –40 … +75 °CUI: –40 … +90 °CProtection classIP66 / IP68, NEMA 4XIP65, NEMA 4X (/MP9)IP66, NEMA 4XWeight, housing (without cable)P2: approx. 0.9 kgM5: approx. 1.3 kgM4: approx. 3.0 kgS2: approx. 7.0 kgExplosion protectionD-LX..../ExAx1/….II 2 G Ex db IIC T5 GbII 2 G Ex db IIC T6 GbII 2 D Ex tb IIIC T100 °C DbII 2 D Ex tb IIIC T85 °C DbD-LX..../ExAx2/….II 3 G Ex ec nC IIC T4 GcII 3 G Ex ec nC IIC T6 GcII 3 D Ex tc IIIC T135 °C DcII 3 D Ex tc IIIC T85 °C DcD-LX..../ExUC1/....Class I, Div. 2, Group A, B, C, D, T4Class I, Div. 2, Group A, B, C, D, T6Class II, Div. 2, Group E, F, G, T4; Class IIIClass II, Div. 2, Group E, F, G, T4; Class IIIClass I, Div. 1, Group A, B, C, D, T5Class I, Div. 1, Group A, B, C, D, T6Class II, Div. 1, Group E, F, G, T5; Class IIIClass II, Div. 1, Group E, F, G, T6; Class IIIAccessoriesMandatory: D-LL 7xx (for D-LX 27X0)Recommended: D-ZS 033-I, D-ZS 117-I, D-ZS 133-IOptional: Power supply 24 V, D-NG 24/05, D-ZS 113, D-ZS 118, D-TB 50 EX, D-TB 50, D-LX, D-LX FSUP CBLTechnical Specifications (Summary):Spectral range: UL: 185-260 nm, UA: 305-480 nm, UI: 220-360 nm & 780-1800 nm (D-LX 2XX0), IG: 780-1800 nm (D-LX 1100)Safety: Self-monitoring, fail-safe, SIL3Switching threshold: Flame intensityLEDs: Status, flame ON, FFDT, intensity, Auto Learn, BluetoothFFDT: 0.5-5 s (0.5 s steps)Contacts: Flame ON (NO), Flame OFF (NC), SPDT for operation/failureRelay: Max 50 V=, 0.5 A; 230 V~, 0.2 AAnalog output: 2 x 0/4-20 mA, max 750 OhmView angle: 6°Power: 24 V= ±20%, 5 W, PELVAmbient: -40 to +90°C (depending on version)Protection: IP66/IP68/NEMA 4XWeight: 0.9-7.0 kg (depending on version)
