Flame Detector Sensor Module

Description

A Flame Detector Sensor Module is a specialized device designed to detect the presence of fire or open flames by sensing the specific infrared (IR) or ultraviolet (UV) radiation they emit. It converts this light energy into an electrical signal that triggers alarms, shuts off fuel lines, or activates fire suppression systems. [1, 2]

Key Features & Specifications:

• Detection Wavelength: Typically senses IR light in the 760 nm to 1100 nm range.
• Detection Angle: Usually offers a 60° field of view.
• Outputs: Features both Digital (High/Low) and Analog (intensity) outputs, making it easy to interface with microcontrollers like Arduino.
• Sensitivity Control: Includes an onboard potentiometer to adjust the detection threshold and avoid false alarms.
• Operating Voltage: Runs on 3.3V to 5V DC. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]

Common Applications:

• Safety Systems: Fire alarms and smart home monitoring.
• Robotics: Crucial for firefighting robots to locate fire sources.
• Industrial Monitoring: Used in boilers, furnaces, and manufacturing units to verify combustion or detect dangerous ignition
