๐ Product Introduction
The SAACKE FLUS 06 UV / FLS 09 UV system is a UV flame detection system designed to monitor burner flames in combustion and firing equipment. The set combines the FLUS 06 UV flame monitor with the FLS 09 UV-5 flame scanner.
The FLS 09 UV-5 detects pulsating ultraviolet radiation from the burner flame and converts the detected radiation into an electrical signal. The FLUS 06 UV flame monitor processes this signal and provides flame-status information through LEDs and potential-free contacts.
If the monitored flame is lost, the system generates a Flame OFF status that can be used within the burner safety circuit to shut off the fuel supply. This makes the system suitable for burner management and flame-failure monitoring applications.

๐ Main Features
- ๐ฅ UV-based flame detection
- ๐๏ธ Continuous burner flame monitoring
- โก Electrical flame-status output
- ๐ก๏ธ Safety-oriented flame failure detection
- ๐จ Flame OFF indication after flame loss
- ๐ง FLS 09 UV-5 sensor and FLUS 06 UV monitor combination
- ๐ก๏ธ Operating temperature range of -10 to +60 ยฐC for the sensor
- ๐ง IP65 sensor protection
- ๐ข Suitable for industrial and marine combustion equipment
๐ ๏ธ Operating Procedure and Usage
The FLS 09 UV-5 should be installed so that its optical axis has a clear and appropriate view of the burner flame. The scanner detects the pulsating UV radiation produced by the flame and sends the corresponding electrical signal to the FLUS 06 UV monitor.
Installation
- ๐ง Mount the FLS 09 UV-5 securely at the designated burner viewing position.
- ๐๏ธ Align the scanner with the flame monitoring area.
- ๐ Connect the scanner cable to the FLUS 06 UV flame monitor.
- โก Connect the flame monitor to the approved burner-control circuit.
- ๐ Check cable routing, shielding, terminals, and grounding according to the equipment design.
- ๐งช Start the burner commissioning procedure.
- ๐ฅ Confirm that a stable flame produces a valid flame signal.
- ๐จ Verify that loss of flame produces the correct Flame OFF status.
- ๐ Perform the required shut-off check before placing the burner into normal operation.
The manufacturer documentation states that initial commissioning should be performed by appropriately trained personnel.
๐ Power-On / Power-Off Sequence
Power-On
โก 1. Check the burner safety condition.
Confirm that the burner and fuel system are ready for controlled startup.
๐ 2. Inspect the flame detector installation.
Make sure the sensor lens is clean and correctly aligned.
๐ 3. Energize the FLUS 06 UV monitor.
๐ข 4. Check the flame-status indication.
Verify that the monitor responds correctly to the sensor signal.
๐ฅ 5. Start the burner according to the burner manufacturer’s sequence.
๐ 6. Confirm stable flame detection.
๐ก๏ธ 7. Perform the required flame-failure/shut-off test during commissioning.
Power-Off
๐ 1. Stop the burner through the normal burner-control procedure.
๐ฅ 2. Confirm that the flame is extinguished.
๐ 3. Verify the fuel shut-off condition.
โก 4. Remove control power only when permitted by the burner system procedure.
๐ง 5. For maintenance, isolate the burner and fuel system before working on the detector.
๐ Product Usage Instructions
The FLS 09 UV scanner has no local display or operating controls. Its detected flame signal is displayed and processed by the FLUS 06 UV flame monitor.
The scanner is available in different variants, including FLS 09 UV-5 and FLS 09 UV-5L. Therefore, when replacing an existing sensor, the exact sensor length and part number should be checked before installation.
The sensor lens should remain clean and unobstructed. When cleaning the flame scanner, follow the approved maintenance procedure and avoid damaging the optical components.
The FLUS 06 UV monitor is designed as a safety-related component. According to the technical documentation, defective flame scanners or flame monitors should be replaced rather than repaired internally. A shut-off check should be performed after replacing either component.
โ Common Questions & Answers
Q: What does the FLUS 06 UV do?
A: It is the flame monitor that processes the electrical signal from the FLS 09 UV flame scanner and provides the flame-status output.
Q: What does the FLS 09 UV-5 detect?
A: It detects pulsating ultraviolet radiation from a burner flame and converts the detected radiation into an electrical signal.
Q: Can the FLS 09 UV-5 operate without the FLUS 06 UV?
A: The FLS 09 UV-5 is intended to work as part of the FLUS 06 UV / FLS 09 UV flame detection system. The scanner sends its signal to the flame monitor for processing.
Q: What is the protection rating of the FLS 09 UV-5?
A: The technical documentation specifies IP65 protection for the flame scanner.
Q: What is the operating temperature?
A: The documented operating range for the flame scanner is -10 to +60 ยฐC.
Q: How long is the standard sensor cable?
A: The standard connection cable is 3 m long, using six 0.5 mmยฒ conductors. Extension up to 100 m is documented, with a specific restriction concerning the pink conductor.
Q: Can the sensor be installed in any position?
A: Yes. The technical documentation specifies any installation position for the FLS 09 UV sensor.
Q: What happens if the burner flame goes out?
A: The system generates a Flame OFF status, which is intended to initiate the appropriate fuel shut-off response through the burner safety system.
Q: What should be done after replacing the sensor?
A: A shut-off check should be performed after replacing the flame scanner or flame monitor to verify correct safety operation.
