Smarthon Flame Sensor

The principle:

• Flame will emit different light to surrounding, besides the visible light from the luminous part, most of them are the non-visible. Depend on different fuel source, the emission spectrum is covered from UV to IR. For example, when burning the most common fuel (hydrocarbon), it will have a extreme strong emission peek on the IR region.
• The flame sensor use the IR sensor which is sensitive to the wavelength above 760nm. When it point to the flame source, the strong IR light will be catch by the IR sensor, it will change the output voltage of sensor, if the value pass threshold, which means the flame was detected.

Key Features:

• Infrared Detection: Sensitive to wavelengths above 760nm, allowing precise flame detection.
• Analog Interface: Provides real-time output voltage that varies with flame intensity.
• Detection Range: Effective within 100 cm, making it suitable for various experiments and educational activities.
• Voltage Compatibility: Operates with both 3.3V and 5V power supplies, ensuring versatility.

Pinout Diagram:

• G (Ground): Connects to the ground of your circuit.
• V (Voltage Supply): Provides power to the sensor.
• S (Output): Delivers the sensor’s output voltage, indicating flame detection.

Educational Benefits:

• STEM Learning: Introduces concepts of infrared technology and flame detection.
• Hands-On Experience: Allows kids to build and experiment with real-world applications of sensor technology.
• Safe Exploration: Designed for safe use in educational settings.

Empower your young learners with the Smarthon Flame Sensor and watch them dive into the wonders of science and technology while having fun!
