DESCRIPTION
The 48PT2 scanner comes with cables rated for Tray Cable – Exposed Run (TC-ER) and complies with the crush and impact requirements of the standard for metal clad cable, UL 1569.
-
48PT1 (Obsolete)
The 48PT1 lead sulfide infrared scanner contains a high-impedance detector and is designed to be used only on P-Series controls. -
48PT2
The 48PT2 lead sulfide infrared scanner contains a low impedance detector and is designed to detect low flicker frequency IR signals from gas and oil flames. It is designed for use on D-Series, Flame-Monitor, FlameWorx, MicroM and Burnerlogix controls. -
48PT2-CEX
The 48PT2-CEX is a 48PT2 mounted in ATEX-compliant housing for environments requiring the rating of Exd IIC T6 ATEX hazardous location. -
69ND1
The 69ND1 flame rod is made of high-temperature resistant metal and can be used only to detect gas flames. The rods come in 12, 18, and 24-inch lengths.
CAUTION : Fireye scanners are for use only with Fireye controls. Do not
connect Fireye scanners with controls not manufactured by FIREYE.
CAUTION : If component checking is required during burner operation for
constantly fired burners, utilize the infrared flame scanner (48PT2) with
associated AutoCheck amplifier. For
Flame-Monitor systems use the E1R1, E1R3 or E1R2 and for MicroM systems use
the MEIR1 or MEIR4.
Warning – all installation, service and troubleshooting of Fireye
products must be performed by a qualified technician.

SCANNER MAINTENANCE
48PT1 and 48PT2, 48PT2-CEX Infrared Scanners and 69ND1 Flame Rods
The viewing area of the scanner must be kept clean. Even a small amount of contamination will reduce the flame signal reaching the detector by a measurable amount. Wipe the viewing area routinely using a soft cloth dampened with concentrated detergent.
- Type 48PT1 scanner includes a replaceable #4-128-1 cell
- Type 48PT2, 48PT2-CEX scanner includes a replaceable #4-263-1 Firetron cell.
- Type 69ND1 Flame Rod. Rods should be routinely replaced as they oxidize.
- Flame Signal Strength. Routine observation of the flame signal strength or as read on the display of the FLAME-MONITOR will forewarn of any deterioration in the capability of the flame detector or its application.
- Periodic Safety Check. It is recommended that a procedure be established to test, at least once a month, the complete flame safeguard system. This test should verify the proper operation of all limit switches and safety interlocks as well as flame failure protection and fuel safety shutoff valve tightness. Rotation. It is recommended that control and scanner units purchased as spares be installed periodically.
- Contacts. There are no accessible contacts in the Fireye burner programming controls. Where contacts are used, their design assures long trouble-free life when the load circuits are maintained within the published load ratings.
- Humidity. In areas of high humidity, the control chassis should be removed and placed in a dry atmosphere when the system is expected to be out of service for an extended period.
For scanner installation and wiring instructions, see the appropriate FIREYE technical bulletin for each control.

INSTALLATION
INFRARED SCANNER TYPE 48PT2
The following UL standards have been revised and now allow the use of TC-ER rated cable on
Commercial boilers and burners:
- UL 295: Commercial – Industrial Gas Burners – Sections 10.1.6, 10.1.9, and 11.2.2.
- UL 296: Oil Burners – Sections 31.1.8, 31.1.11, and 32.2.2.
- UL 726: Oil fired Boiler Assemblies – Sections 15.1.6, 15.1.9, and 16.1.6.
- UL 795: Commercial – Industrial Gas Heating Equipment – Section 12.5.
Where possible, obtain the burner manufacturer’s instructions for mounting the scanner, otherwise proceed as follows:
A single scanner is used to detect both pilot and main flames. The sight pipe on which the scanner mounts must be aimed so that the scanner sights a point at the intersection of main and pilot flames. Two IR Scanners may be installed on one burner if it is necessary to view two areas to obtain reliable detection of the flame. They should be wired in parallel
Proper scanner positioning must assure the following:
- Reliable pilot flame signal.
- Reliable main flame signal.
- A pilot flame too short or in the wrong position to ignite the main flame reliably, must not be detected.
- Scanner must have an unobstructed view of flame being monitored.
- Flame being monitored must completely cover the scanner field of view.
- To avoid nuisance shutdowns, it is important to avoid sighting hot refractory and to keep scanner temperature low (below 125° F) (52°C).
- When the proper position has been established, drill a hole through the furnace wall and install a 4″ to 8” length of threaded l/2” black iron pipe on which to mount the 48PT2 scanner.
- When satisfactory sighting position has been confirmed by operating tests, the sight tube should be firmly welded in place.
Wiring
Wiring Instructions:
Wire the black and red wires (18 AWG) on the 48PT2 flame scanner to terminals
S1 and S2 on the Fireye flame safeguard control. There is no polarity
associated with the wire colors. Either wire (red or black) can be wired to
either terminal (S1 or S2).
Shield and Drain Wire:
The scanner provides a shield and drain wire that are internally bonded to the
metal threaded ½” NPT coupling nut. This allows a conduit clamp to provide an
electrical ground around the exposed shield when entering a metal junction box
or control cabinet, or connect the drain wire to a suitable ground connection
when using a non-metallic (or metallic) junction box or control cabinet.
Conduit required:
On those applications where conduit is required, Fireye recommends the Thomas
and Betts 449-TB (or suitable) fitting which is used to couple 3/8″ flexible
metal conduit to 1/2″ EMT conduit.The set screw on the fitting bites into the
flat section of the plastic on the 48PT2 scanner and seats onto the metal
casing below, providing a secure connection.
Extended Wiring:
If necessary to extend scanner wiring, attach the cable supplied with the
scanner to a junction box. Splice the cable wires to a pair of wires not
smaller than #l8. Install the complete run in a separate conduit to the
control. Continuous conduit bonding between scanner and the control is
mandatory! Scanner may be located up to 100 feet from control. Do not pass
scanner wiring through any junction box containing other wires. Do not run
other wires through scanner conduit. Asbestos insulated wire should be
avoided.
Keeping the Scanner Cool
The Infrared Scanner (Temperature Limit 125° F) should never get too hot to
grasp comfortably in the hand. Keep the scanner cool by one or more of the
following methods.
- Use 6” to 8” length of pipe between scanner and hot furnace front plate.
- Use insulating tube (Part No. 35-69) on the end of the iron pipe.
- Force air into sighting tube. Use Fireye Sealing Union (Part No. 60-801).
- Make sure sighting tube does not extend more than halfway into refractory wall.
Minimum Pilot Test
This test assures that the flame detector will not detect a pilot flame too
small to reliably light off themain flame. The test should be made on every
new installation, and following any repositioning of the flame detector. THE
MINIMUM PILOT TEST MUST BE ACCOMPLISHED BY A TRAINED AND QUALIFIED BURNER
TECHNICIAN
SPARK REJECTION TEST. CAUTION :
The scanner must not sight the ignition spark directly or any part of the
burner that can reflect the spark back to the scanner. The scanner must not
see a pilot flame that is too small to reliably ignite the main flame. Test
procedures vary according to the control used. See procedures as described in
the technical bulletin for the control being installed
