System Architecture & Integration

Modular Design Philosophy: The FAU800 base module serves as the foundation for ABB's flame analysis ecosystem, providing standardized mounting, power, and communication interfaces that enable flexible system configurations. The base accepts plug-in FAU800 analysis modules that process flame signals from field-mounted scanners, converting optical or ionization signals into relay outputs and analog signals for burner control systems.

Dual-Channel Capability: Supports simultaneous monitoring of two independent flame detection channels, enabling redundant flame supervision or multi-burner applications from a single base unit. This architecture reduces panel space requirements and simplifies wiring in systems with multiple combustion zones.

Power Distribution Network: Internal regulated power supply distributes clean, stable voltage to connected FAU modules and flame scanners, eliminating the need for external power conditioning. Overcurrent protection and fault isolation prevent single-point failures from affecting multiple detection channels.

Industrial Applications

Industrial Boiler Systems: Provides flame monitoring infrastructure for package boilers, fire-tube boilers, and water-tube boilers burning natural gas, fuel oil, or dual-fuel configurations. The base module supports both main flame and pilot flame detection in accordance with NFPA 85 and FM Global standards.

Process Heaters & Furnaces: Monitors combustion in refinery heaters, petrochemical crackers, and heat treatment furnaces where flame failure could result in explosive atmospheres or product quality issues. Fast flame failure response (<1 second) enables rapid fuel valve shutdown preventing hazardous conditions.

Thermal Oxidizers: Ensures continuous flame presence in regenerative thermal oxidizers (RTO) and catalytic oxidizers treating VOC emissions from chemical manufacturing, printing, and coating operations. Regulatory compliance requires certified flame monitoring to prevent uncontrolled emissions.

Waste Incineration: Supports flame detection in municipal solid waste incinerators, medical waste burners, and hazardous waste destruction systems. The wide operating temperature range accommodates harsh environments with elevated ambient temperatures near combustion chambers.

Power Generation: Monitors auxiliary burners in combined-cycle power plants, startup burners in coal-fired units, and duct burners in heat recovery steam generators (HRSG). Redundant flame detection meets utility industry reliability requirements for continuous operation.

Safety Features & Compliance

  • Fail-Safe Design: De-energized relay outputs upon loss of flame signal or power failure, ensuring fuel valves close during unsafe conditions
  • Self-Diagnostics: Continuous monitoring of internal circuits, power supply voltage, and scanner connections with fault indication
  • Flame Simulation Detection: Advanced algorithms prevent false flame signals from hot refractory, background radiation, or electrical interference
  • Purge Timing Integration: Interfaces with burner management systems to enforce pre-purge and post-purge sequences per NFPA 86 requirements
  • Lockout Protection: Automatic lockout on repeated flame failures prevents unsafe restart attempts without operator intervention
  • EMC Immunity: Meets EN 61000-6-2 industrial immunity standards for operation in high-EMI environments with VFDs and welding equipment

Installation & Commissioning

The FAU800 base module mounts on standard 35mm DIN rail using spring-loaded clips for tool-free installation. Terminal blocks provide screw connections for power input, scanner wiring, and output signals to burner controls. Clear labeling and color-coded terminals simplify field wiring and reduce commissioning errors.

Wiring Configuration: Separate terminal groups for power (24V DC or 120/230V AC depending on model), scanner inputs (shielded cable recommended), and relay outputs (dry contacts rated for pilot duty). Ground terminal ensures proper EMC performance and safety earth connection.

Scanner Integration: Plug-in FAU modules auto-detect connected scanner types (UV, IR, UV/IR, ionization) and configure signal processing parameters accordingly. LED indicators display scanner status, flame presence, and fault conditions for rapid troubleshooting during startup.

Maintenance & Reliability

The FAU800 base module features solid-state electronics with no mechanical relays in the signal processing path, extending service life beyond 100,000 hours MTBF. Recommended maintenance includes annual inspection of terminal connections, verification of LED status indicators, and functional testing of flame failure response.

Scanner Maintenance: While the base module requires minimal maintenance, connected flame scanners need periodic cleaning and optical alignment per manufacturer recommendations. The base module's diagnostic features identify scanner degradation before flame detection reliability is compromised.

Spare Parts Strategy: Maintain spare base modules and FAU analysis modules for critical applications to minimize downtime during unplanned failures. Hot-swappable design allows module replacement without disturbing field wiring when proper lockout/tagout procedures are followed.

Regulatory Compliance

The FAU800 base module meets international standards for industrial burner management systems:

  • NFPA 85: Boiler and Combustion Systems Hazards Code (North America)
  • NFPA 86: Standard for Ovens and Furnaces
  • FM Global: Approved for use in FM-certified burner management systems
  • EN 298: European standard for automatic burner control systems for gas burners
  • IEC 61010-1: Safety requirements for electrical equipment for measurement, control, and laboratory use
  • CE Marking: Complies with Low Voltage Directive 2014/35/EU and EMC Directive 2014/30/EU
  • UL Listed: Certified to UL 372 (Primary Safety Controls for Gas- and Oil-Fired Appliances)
