Product catalog summary
Product Overview: The E2T Quasar 2 by Advanced Energy Industries is an infrared thermometry instrument designed for continuous monitoring and detection of pilot flames and flared gases. It includes two models: Quasar 2 M8100-EXP and Quasar 2 M8100-EXP Advanced. The base model offers basic flare pilot monitoring, while the advanced model provides additional features such as intensity mA output for multiple setpoints.
Product Highlights:
  • Flame detection up to 400 meters.
  • Detection of hydrocarbon and hydrogen flames.
  • Safety and environmental protection features.
  • On-board pilot loss alarm set point relay.
  • Pilot and flaring signal level mA output.
  • Modular opto-electronic package for easy access and service.
Typical Applications: The Quasar 2 is suitable for elevated flares (steam, air, and gas assisted), ground flares (burn pit and ground flare arrays), off-shore flares, and staged flares.
Technical Specifications:
  • Working Distance: 400 meters.
  • Field of View: Options include 37.5:1, 60:1, 75:1, 150:1, and 300:1.
  • Hazardous Classification: IECEx Ex db IIB T4, ATEX II 2 G Ex db IIB T4, and certified explosion-proof housing for Canada and US.
  • Output Signal: 4 or 20 mA switched output, with additional 4 to 20 mA for the advanced model.
  • Response Time: 10 milliseconds.
  • Power Requirements: 5 Watts, 24 VDC and 115/230 VAC.
  • Environmental Protection: NEMA 4X IP 66.
  • Dimensions: 12 cm x 33 cm x 12 cm; Weight: 12 kg.
Optics and Accessories: The Quasar 2 offers high-quality optics with five different options for optimal flame signal detection. Heavy-duty accessories like the M-4 swivel mount and M-8 pedestal base are available for secure mounting and alignment.
Maintenance: The Quasar 2-EXP's non-contact infrared electro-optical package can be easily removed for repairs or replacement without disturbing the system's wiring and alignment.
About Advanced Energy: Advanced Energy Industries specializes in precision power conversion, measurement, and control solutions for critical applications. With over three decades of experience, AE supports innovation in semiconductor and industrial processes globally.

E2T Quasar 2 Datasheet-1

Infrared thermometry instruments designed for continuous monitoring and detection of pilot flame and flared gases from flares. The E2T Quasar 2 includes two models: Quasar 2 M8100-EXP and Quasar 2 M8100-EXP Advanced. The base system provides basic flare pilot monitoring capabilities. The advanced system includes an intensity mA output, which allows the programming of multiple setpoints to indicate pilot flame detection and flaring status signals from the same unit. PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS ■ Flame detection up to 400 m ■ Detection of hydrocarbon and hydrogen flames ■ Safety and environmental protection ■ On-board pilot loss alarm set point relay ■ Pilot and flaring signal level mA output ■ Modular opto-electronic package for easy access and service TYPICAL APPLICATIONS ■ Elevated flares - e.g. steam assisted, air assisted, and gas assisted ■ Ground flares - e.g. burn pit flares and ground flare arrays ■ Off-shore flares ■ Staged flares AT A GLANCE Flame Type Infrared monitor sensitive to all flame including hydrogen Working Distance 400 m Field of View 37.5:1, 60:1, 75:1, 150:1 and 300:1 Hazardous Classification IECEx Ex db IIB T4 ATEX II 2 G Ex db IIB T4 Canada and US certified explosion-proof housing • Class I, Div 1, Groups C and D • Class I, Div 2, Groups A, B, C and D ©2019 Advanced Energy Industries, Inc.

Safe flare operation and environmental protection require reliable and accurate flare pilot monitoring. Generally, flare pilots are monitored with thermocouples that often fail due to thermal shock caused by extreme heat and vibrations during flaring events. The requirement for pilot monitoring beyond the normal life of pilot thermocouples has driven the market need for alternative methods, which requires installation of a redundant method of pilot monitoring to back up the standard pilot thermocouples. The E2T Quasar 2 instruments provide continuous monitoring and detection of pilot flame and...
