FLAME SENSOR UV TRON® R2868
Quick Detection of Flame from Distance, Compact UV Sensor with High Sensitivity and Wide Directivity, Suitable for Flame Detectors and Fire Alarms.
Hamamatsu R2868 is a UV TRON ultraviolet detector that makes use of the photoelectric effect of metal and the gas multiplication effect. It has a narrow spectral sensitivity of 185 to 260 nm, being completely insensitive to visible light. Unlike semiconductor detectors, it does not require optical visible-cut filters, thus making it easy to use. In spite of its small size, the R2868 has wide angular sensitivity (directivity) and can reliably and quickly detect weak ultraviolet radiations emitted from flame due to use of the metal plate cathode (eg.
