KEMET QFC series analog pyroelectric infrared flame sensors

KEMET’s QFC pyroelectric flame sensors provide accurate discrimination of flame sources in triple IR flame detection systems, through their excellent signal to noise characteristic at the signature 8 – 10 Hz flicker range of a flame. The sensor element is built into a low noise circuit that has an internal CMOS op amp with a 10 GO feedback resistor outputting a voltage signal centred around half the supply rail. Exceptional high responsivity, a wide field of view and rapid recovery from thermal and electrical shocks makes it the ideal solution for demanding flame detecting applications.
