DescriptionTerm
The absence of a flame as calculated by the Flame-LogicFlame-Off
The presence of a flame as calculated by the Flame-LogicFlame-On
Flame-Proven condition occurs when the Flame-Logic determines that all the
requirements are in Flame-Proven condition will continue to exist until the Flame-Logic
votes a Flame-Off condition
Flame-Proven
Flame-relay is an ON/OFF switch that is energized when a flame is detected, and
de-energized when a flame is not present

A Measured-Value must remain at or below the High-Limit value or else the Flame-Logic
will vote a Flame-Off condition
High-Limit
For SafeFlame applications, the intensity is defined as the brightness of light energy. It
is one of the Measured-Values
Intensity
Infra-Red, electromagnetic wave whose wavelength is from 750 to 2000nm and longer
(approximately)
IR

Measured-Values are the energy characteristics that can be measured with the SF910iMeasured-Values
Widely used and well-known serial communication protocol used in SF910i application
to exchange working parameters and configuration data
MODBUS
A method of setting the sensitivity of the quality calculation. The normalization values
can be modified to account for the boiler environment
Normalization
SF910i is in Normal-Mode when it is not in Configuration-Mode or Parameter-Mode. In
this mode, the SF910i will display the flame monitoring information
Normal-Mode
Printed Circuit BoardPCB
SF910i is in Program-Mode when it is enabled to modify the program functionsProgram-Mode
Pull-In occurs when a Measured-Value goes from zero to a value that matches or
exceeds the Pull-in Limit value
Pull-In
Quality is a measure of how close the SF910i is voting a Flame-Off condition. Quality
value serves as an indicator of the general state of flame detection
Quality
A de-facto industrial standard that specify the signal type, level and other basic
parameters of a differential communication line on copper cable
RS-485
SafeFlame™ is an ABB trademarked name for a series for Flame Scanners that operate
by measuring the flame energy with photo-diode sensors. These sensors convert light
energy into electronic signals
