Product Function:

There are still some products that have not been listed yet. For more information, please contact us. If the product model does not match the displayed picture, the actual model shall prevail. Please consult us for specific product images; We will arrange for the warehouse to take photos for confirmation. We have 76 shared warehouses worldwide, so it may take several hours to accurately respond to your message. We deeply apologize for any inconvenience caused to you. Of course, we will process your inquiry as soon as possible.


The primary function of the ABB FAU810 is to analyze raw data from flame detectors and determine the presence or absence of a stable flame. It features dual-channel processing capabilities, allowing the ABB FAU810 to monitor two independent flame sensors simultaneously, providing redundancy and enhanced safety. The unit converts optical signals into digital data and relay outputs, triggering immediate shutdown sequences if flame loss is detected. With advanced signal processing algorithms, the ABB FAU810 can distinguish between actual flame signals and background noise (such as glowing refractory or oil sparks), minimizing false trips. Furthermore, the ABB FAU810 supports seamless integration into Distributed Control Systems (DCS) via redundant communication protocols, enabling real-time diagnostics and remote configuration.

FAU810

Installation Guidelines:

Proper installation of the ABB FAU810 is critical to ensure signal integrity and system safety.

Safety First: Ensure all power sources to the burner management system are locked out before installing the ABB FAU810.

Baseplate Mounting: Secure the dedicated baseplate (e.g., C10-12010) to the DIN rail or panel. Ensure the locking clips are engaged firmly.

Module Insertion: Align the ABB FAU810 module with the baseplate connectors and slide it in until it clicks into place. Verify that the module is seated evenly to prevent pin damage.

Sensor Wiring: Connect the flame scanner cables to the designated input terminals on the ABB FAU810 baseplate. Use shielded cables and ground the shield at one end to prevent interference.

Output Wiring: Wire the relay outputs to the burner management logic and the 4–20 mA outputs to the DCS or recorder. Ensure wire gauges meet current rating requirements.

Communication Setup: Connect the PROFIBUS or Modbus cables to the ABB FAU810 communication ports. Terminate the bus correctly with resistors if required by the network topology.

Address Configuration: Set the device address (via DIP switches or software) on the ABB FAU810 to match the control system configuration, ensuring unique identification on the network.

Operational Steps:

Commissioning and operating the ABB FAU810 involves configuration and verification of flame detection logic.

Power Up: Energize the system. The "Power" LED on the ABB FAU810 should illuminate steadily, indicating valid supply voltage.

Software Connection: Launch the ABB configuration tool (e.g., Flame Explorer or relevant DCS engineering software) and connect to the ABB FAU810 via the communication interface.

Parameter Setting: Configure the flame detection thresholds, response times, and simulation modes within the ABB FAU810 software interface. Select the appropriate sensor type (UV/Visible/IR).

Signal Verification: Observe the live flame intensity values displayed by the ABB FAU810. Ensure the signal rises when the burner is lit and drops to zero when the flame is extinguished.

Relay Testing: Simulate a flame failure condition to verify that the ABB FAU810 de-energizes the flame relay within the specified safety time.

Analog Output Check: Measure the 4–20 mA output from the ABB FAU810 with a multimeter to confirm it scales linearly with the detected flame intensity.

Normal Operation: Once verified, place the ABB FAU810 in "Run" mode. Monitor the status LEDs during boiler startup and steady-state operation to confirm stable performance.

Daily Maintenance:

Routine maintenance of the ABB FAU810 ensures long-term reliability and safety of the combustion process.

LED Inspection: Regularly check the status LEDs on the ABB FAU810 during plant rounds. Any flickering or red fault lights should be investigated immediately.

Cleaning: Keep the ABB FAU810 and its ventilation slots free from dust and debris. Use dry compressed air for cleaning; do not use solvents.

Connection Check: During scheduled outages, inspect terminal screws on the ABB FAU810 baseplate for tightness to prevent loose connections caused by vibration.

Log Review: Analyze historical event logs in the DCS or via the ABB FAU810 interface to identify intermittent flame instability or communication errors.

Firmware Updates: Periodically check the ABB website for firmware updates for the ABB FAU810 to benefit from improved algorithms and bug fixes.

Sensor Calibration: While the ABB FAU810 processes signals, ensure the connected flame scanners are clean and properly aligned to provide accurate input to the ABB FAU810.

Spare Inventory: Maintain a tested spare ABB FAU810 module in stock to facilitate rapid replacement and minimize boiler downtime.

Precautions:

Voltage Compatibility: Verify the supply voltage matches the rating of the ABB FAU810 before energizing. Incorrect voltage can permanently damage the unit. Grounding: Ensure proper grounding of the cabinet and cable shields. Poor grounding can introduce noise that causes the ABB FAU810 to misinterpret signals. Hot Swapping: Although designed for reliability, avoid removing the ABB FAU810 module while the system is live unless the specific setup supports hot-swapping and safety protocols are followed. Configuration Backup: Always back up the configuration parameters of the ABB FAU810 before making changes. This allows for quick restoration in case of errors. Environmental Limits: Do not operate the ABB FAU810 outside its specified temperature and humidity ranges, as this may affect processing accuracy. Interlock Testing: Never bypass the safety interlocks controlled by the ABB FAU810 during operation. Regularly test the full safety loop including the ABB FAU810 relays. Compatible Sensors: Only use ABB-approved flame sensors with the ABB FAU810. Incompatible sensors may provide signal levels outside the processing range of the ABB FAU810, leading to unsafe conditions.
