The Flame Sensor Module for Fire Detection & Safety Systems detects fire and flames using an IR-sensitive phototransistor that responds to infrared radiation in the 760-1100nm wavelength range. It provides fast response for safety systems and fire alarm applications.
Key features
- Flame detection via IR-sensitive phototransistor
- Digital and analog outputs for flexible interfacing
- Adjustable sensitivity via onboard potentiometer
- LED status indicator for detection feedback
- Wide 60° detection angle for broad coverage
- Fast response time for early warning
- 3.3V-5V operation compatible with all microcontrollers
Good to know
- Detects IR from flames – may trigger from strong IR sources (sun, heat lamps)
- Detection range limited to approximately 1 meter
- Angle sensor toward expected fire location for best response
- Not a replacement for certified fire detection systems
- Combine with smoke sensor for comprehensive fire detection
