Flame Sensor Module 3 Pin

35.00 EGP

Availability: Out of stock
SKU:3496300068111
The Fire or Flame Sensor Module can detect flames in the 760 – 1100 nanometer wavelength range. Small flames like a lighter flame can be detected at roughly 0.8m. The detection angle is roughly 60 degrees and the sensor is particularly sensitive to the flame spectrum.
An on-board LM393 op-amp is used as a comparator to adjust the sensitivity level. The sensor has a digital and analog output and sensitivity can be adjusted via the blue potentiometer.
This Flame Sensor Module is used to detect fire/flame source or other light sources of the wavelength in the range of 760nm – 1100 nm. It is based on the YG1006 sensor which is a high speed and high sensitive NPN silicon phototransistor. Due to its black epoxy, the sensor is sensitive to infrared radiation.
The sensor can be a great addition in a firefighting robot, it can be used as a robot eyes to find the fire source. When the sensor detects flame the Signal LED will light up and the D0 pin goes LOW.
The module has 2 outputs: Analogue, which gives a real-time voltage output signal on thermal resistance, and digital which allows temperature thresholds to be set via a potentiometer.

Working of IR Flame/Fire Sensor Module

Case 1:

When the photodiode senses the IR waves which are emitted by the flame, its resistance decreases. The decrease in resistance depends on the intensity of the IR waves generating by the flames. If the flames are generating higher intensity of IR waves, the photodiode will act as a short circuit and offer minimum resistance towards the incoming voltage. At this moment the voltage at the non-inverting terminal will reduce and becomes as same as ground potential.  The pot which is connected to the inverting terminal can be varied to change the voltage appearing at the inverting terminal. This is done to change the sensitivity of the sensor. (If the potentiometer is kept at the minimum value, then the module is said to have high sensitivity. If the potentiometer is kept at the maximum value, then the module is said to have low sensitivity.) At this stage the voltage at the non-inverting terminal is lesser than the voltage at the inverting terminal (assume that the voltage at the inverting terminal is greater than the GND potential), which leads the output of the LM393 to be a low value (0V). At this stage, the indicator LED which is connected in between the Vcc and Output will start glowing as there is a potential difference between its anode and cathode terminal. The output is taken from the LM393 pin 1.

Case 2:

When there is no flame, the photodiode doesn’t sense any IR waves. This leads to offer maximum resistance to the incoming voltage and act as an open circuit. This makes the voltage of Vcc to appear at the Non-inverting terminal. As the voltage at the non-inverting terminal is greater than the voltage at the inverting terminal (the voltage at the inverting terminal is low than the Vcc), the output of the LM393 will be a logic high value (5V /VCC ). At this stage, the indicator LED which is connected in between the Vcc and the Output will not be glowing as there is no potential difference between its anode and cathode terminals. The output is taken from the LM393 pin 1.
