Hochiki HF-24 UV Flame Detector – Installation Manual 3
UV Detection Basics
Summary
The ultraviolet type flame detector, which uses a UV tube, absorbs feeble ultraviolet
light contained in flames and detects them in the form of a discharge pulse train
with the help of the photoelectric effect and electron avalanche phenomenon. The
detector has a counter circuit, which prevents malfunctions from taking place
because of single shot or momentary UV rays, such as lightening and cosmic
radiation.
