GE RS-FS9001 362A1052P004 Flame Detector Probe Sensor Basic Information

Brand: Formerly GE Reuter-Stokes, now Baker Hughes; Series Name: Flame Tracker™ Silicon Carbide Flame Probe

Part Number: RS-FS-9001; Part Code: 362A1052P004

Type: Industrial High-Temperature Ultraviolet Flame Scanner (SiC UV Flame Sensor)

Origin: USA

Probe Optical Window

Aircraft Connector at the Tail End

Core Technology Principle

Utilizes a silicon carbide (SiC) photodiode with dedicated 310nm ultraviolet band detection. A sapphire optical window allows for penetration of steam and fuel mist, accurately identifying gas/fuel flames. Built-in spectral filtering algorithm filters out interference from sunlight, welding arc light, and workshop lighting, resulting in an extremely low false alarm rate.
