U2 Combination Viewing Head and 

Signal Processors

INTRODUCTION

The Honeywell U2 flame monitoring system combines sensing 

and processing in one package. The U2 is available in several 

models to provide different options. Each model includes one, 

two or three sensors which share the same optical axis. The 

U2 can be connected either through a detachable connector 

or a pipe fitting for installations with conduit. Refer to the table 

below for model numbers and options.

APPLICATION

Each sensor in the U2 has a different response which is 

suitable for certain applications.

The UVTRON tube detector has a peak response at 210 nm 

and is primarily for gas flame monitoring. This UV detector 

using pulse technology is the best for low NOx gas burners 

and where a solid state sensor, using flicker technology, does 

not provide satisfactory results.

The solid state UV photodiode has a peak response at 310 

nm. This sensor is suitable for gas, oil and coal. The principle 

of flame monitoring is flicker frequency based. User selectable 

high pass filters are used to reject signals that are from 

background radiation.

The solid state IR photodiode has a peak response at 

1400 nm. This sensor is suitable for low NOx oil and coal 

burners, low excess air oil burners, and burners with a limited 

view from a windbox front plate. The principle of flame 

monitoring is flicker frequency based. User selectable high 

pass filters are used to reject signals that are from background 

radiation.
