How does it work?

If the flame sensor detects the wavelength of flame emissions, the flame alarm will go off. However, some of you have seen false alarms. There are two possible causes:

1. The machine is running under sunlight. The reason is that the wavelength of the flame and sunlight may coincide at some point. Therefore, the alarm will be triggered.

So, please do not use the machine under direct sunlight or accent light.

2. The flame detection is in High sensitivity mode. See details below:

• High sensitivity: When you select this option, the flame sensor is highly sensitive to open flames and sparks. When it detects even a small spark, the flame sensor will trigger the smoke alarm, buzzer, and light indicator (blinking red).
• Low sensitivity: When you select this option, the flame sensor is less sensitive to open flames and sparks. When it detects flames and sparks, the flame sensor will trigger the smoke alarm, buzzer, and light indicator (blinking red).
• Do not show again: When you select this option, the flame sensor doesn’t trigger any smoke alarm, buzzer, or light indicator even if it detects open flames and sparks.

Please note that it takes more than three seconds to trigger the alarm.

What to do with the “A flame is detected” error?

1. Click on the gear icon and select Low sensitivity.

2. Set a lower Power and/or Density value, and/or set a higher Speed value when processing on an inflammable material.

3. Replace the Flame Sensor in case of malfunctioning.

Last but not least, do not leave the machine running unattended!! It’s always best to put safety first so that you can avoid any unnecessary risks.
