ABB FAU-810 Flame Analysis Unit C10-12010

Overview

The ABB FAU-810 Flame Analysis Unit is a dual-channel system designed to monitor and process signals from various flame detectors. It supports configurations of SF810 flame scanner heads, DFS flame scanner heads, or Flame Rods for ionic flame monitoring. Each channel is independently configurable and can be controlled via its pushbuttons, the Flame Explorer software, or Profibus.

Key Features:

• Dual independent channels for flame detection with versatile detector compatibility.
• Configurable for various types of flame detectors, including SF810 and DFS flame scanners.
• Supports both standard and redundant 24VDC power supply options.
• Built-in diode auctioneering for power isolation.
• Digital input channels for remote parameter switching per sensor.
• Firmware can be upgraded on-site via the proprietary Firmware Download Utility.
• Two 4-20 mA analog outputs for real-time flame monitoring (intensity, frequency, quality, or AC amplitude).
