IR Flame Sensor

Description :

The Flame Sensor, often referred to as an infrared receiver or ignition source detection module, is a sensor that is designed to detect the presence of a flame or infrared radiation emitted by a flame. It's commonly used in fire detection systems and flame monitoring applications. The sensor can be used to identify the presence or absence of a flame, making it useful in scenarios where the detection of flames is critical, such as in gas stoves, fireplaces, or industrial settings.

Here's a general overview of a Flame Sensor:

Key Features :

 Infrared Detection : The sensor typically operates based on the infrared spectrum, as flames emit infrared radiation.

 Photodiode and Amplification : The sensor usually consists of a photodiode that receives infrared radiation. The signal from the photodiode is then amplified for detection.

 Sensitivity Adjustment : Some flame sensors have sensitivity adjustment features to fine-tune the response to different flame intensities.

 Output Signal : The sensor provides a digital output signal, indicating the presence or absence of a flame. This signal is often compatible with microcontrollers like Arduino.

 Power Supply : The sensor typically operates at low voltage, commonly around 5V.

 Indicator LED : Some sensors include an indicator LED that lights up when a flame is detected, providing a visual indication.

Wiring :
