Product Details
The ABB SF810-FOC-IR-TL-C-W, also cataloged as the SF810 SafeFlame Scanner, operates as a dedicated hardware component for infrared flame radiation detection within SafeFlame monitoring assemblies. The sensor head utilizes an integrated IR sensing element and a 3/4-inch NPT threaded connection to capture dynamic optical flame signals and transmit raw radiation intensity data to primary burner management circuitry.

Deterministic Network Architecture and Control Execution
The SF810-FOC-IR-TL-C-W scanner head processes optical infrared modulations to discriminate targeted flame spectra from background refractory radiation. Its physical signal link integrates directly with control backplanes, supporting Profinet / EtherNet/IP deterministic networks and high communication velocity requirements across burner management racks.
Firmware flash compatibility and hardware signal conditioning ensure instantaneous flame discrimination response. Channel-level isolation prevents electrical noise along the sight pipe from corrupting backplane communication velocity or triggering nuisance burner trip sequences during steady-state combustion cycles.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What optical sensing spectrum is utilized by the SF810-FOC-IR-TL-C-W scanner head?
A: The scanner head incorporates an infrared (IR) sensor designed to target optical radiation modulations emitted by combustion flames.
Q: What mechanical connection thread is integrated into the scanner housing for installation?
A: The unit features a standard 3/4-inch threaded mounting connection for secure mechanical engagement to sight pipes.
Q: How is signal processing handled between the optical sensor and the control network?
A: The optical signal is conditioned at the sensor level before being routed to processing modules that interface with deterministic control backplanes.
Field Installation Guidelines
- Inspect the 3/4-inch thread interface for debris and ensure at least 5 full threads of engagement when screwing the scanner onto the sight pipe assembly.
- Position sight pipes to align directly with the target flame core while avoiding direct viewing of high-temperature background refractory surfaces.
- Connect flexible fiber-optic cables or signal leads without exceeding specified bend radius limits to prevent optical transmission losses.
- Ground the outer cable shielding bar at the control panel chassis end only to prevent ground loop interference along the signal path.
- Purge cooling and sight-pipe air lines routinely to keep the front optical lens free from oil soot and particulate buildup.
