Flame Sensor Module for Fire Detection & Safety Systems

The Flame Sensor Module for Fire Detection & Safety Systems detects fire and flames using an IR-sensitive phototransistor that responds to infrared radiation in the 760-1100nm wavelength range. It provides fast response for safety systems and fire alarm applications.

Key Features

• Flame detection via IR-sensitive phototransistor
• Digital and analog outputs for flexible interfacing
• Adjustable sensitivity via onboard potentiometer
• LED status indicator for detection feedback
• Wide 60° detection angle for broad coverage
• Fast response time for early warning
• 3.3V-5V operation compatible with all microcontrollers

Technical Specifications

Applications

• Fire alarm systems and early warning devices
• Industrial safety monitoring
• Kitchen safety and stove monitoring
• Robotics fire-fighting competitions
• Warehouse monitoring
• Server room fire detection

Important Notes

• Detects IR from flames – may trigger from strong IR sources (sun, heat lamps)
• Detection range limited to approximately 1 meter
• Angle sensor toward expected fire location for best response
• Not a replacement for certified fire detection systems
• Combine with smoke sensor for comprehensive fire detection
