FEX Product Advisory

The Forney D85 series is a microprocessor based flame detector utilizing a solid state flame detection sensor. The D85 incorporates an internal flame relay with automatically set ON/OFF thresholds and advanced programming features for fi ne tuning.

Forney’s D85 detects the modulation of the target flame’s amplitude (flame “flicker”) over a wide frequency. During the detector setup the amplitudes of the target flame are automatically stored in the flame detector along with optimum ON/OFF criteria. The appropriate sensor gain is also automatically selected and stored. Forney D85 detectors incorporate full self-diagnostic and electronic self-checking.

Forney D85 flame detectors are powered by 24Vdc with standard analog 4-20mA flame signal strength output. Electrical connection is via an 8-pin electrical quick-disconnect (QD) fitting for standard models. CEX models utilize internal terminal blocks.

Forney D85 flame detectors are available in multiple models based on spectral range (UV or IR), hazardous area classifi cations and agency approvals.
