Description

The 5-Channel Flame Sensor Module is an infrared-based detector designed for fire detection in robotics, industrial safety, and automated systems. Its multi-element sensor array provides a wide detection angle exceeding 120 degrees, enabling reliable monitoring of a large area. The module senses the characteristic infrared radiation emitted by flames within the 760nm to 1100nm spectrum.

It outputs both a variable analog voltage proportional to IR intensity and a digital signal that triggers when a user-defined threshold is exceeded, set via the onboard potentiometer. This dual-output design allows for both precise flame intensity measurement and simple on/off alarm functionality. The board incorporates precision 1% tolerance resistors for stable and reliable signal conditioning.

Key Features

  • Five independent IR sensor channels arranged for wide-area coverage.
  • High-value build with precision 1% tolerance resistors ensuring signal stability.
  • On-board potentiometer for fine-tuning digital output sensitivity and trigger point.
  • Status LEDs for visual indication of power and detection events.
  • Compact circular PCB design with a 40mm board diameter and 57mm total outer diameter.
  • Optimized performance-to-cost ratio for educational, prototyping, and embedded safety applications.

Applications

  • Fire detection and alarm systems for mobile robots and drones.
  • Safety monitoring in DIY smart home automation and kitchen appliances.
  • Prototype development for industrial flame safeguard controls.
  • Educational projects demonstrating infrared sensing and fire safety principles.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the operating voltage range for this flame sensor module?

The module operates from 3.3V to 9V DC, making it directly compatible with common development platforms like 5V Arduino boards and 3.3V Raspberry Pi or ESP32 systems without requiring a level shifter for power.

How do the analog and digital outputs work?

The analog output provides a variable voltage proportional to the intensity of detected infrared radiation, useful for measuring flame strength. The digital output is a simple HIGH/LOW signal that triggers when the IR intensity exceeds a threshold set by the onboard potentiometer, ideal for direct alarm or control functions.

Can this sensor distinguish a flame from other IR light sources?

This module detects any infrared source within its 760nm-1100nm sensitivity range. While optimized for flame flicker, it may also be triggered by strong incandescent lights or sunlight. For reliable flame discrimination, additional signal processing (like flicker frequency analysis) in your microcontroller code is recommended.
