Abstract:
1. A system comprising: a flame detector with a photon detecting portion and a processing portion, the processing portion including a processor-based device programmed to provide the following functions: during programming receiving input indicating a type of burner and a type of fuel; looking up a flame detection configuration in a data structure based on the received input indicating the type of burner and the type of fuel, the data structure comprising pre-stored entries representing flame parameters for combinations of burner types and fuel types, each one of the pre-stored entries comprising a unique set of flame parameters based on a respective match between a burner type and a fuel type; applying the flame detection configuration to the burner scanner, the flame detection configuration comprising flame parameters associated with a match of both the type of burner and the type of fuel indicated by the received input; and performing a flame detection process according to the flame detection configuration.
