an intensity mA output that allow for a<br />
setpoint mA level to be set in a client’s<br />
DCS for both the pilot and flaring status<br />
signals levels from a single unit. Additional<br />
add-on features are also available<br />
for configuring the Quasar 2 system to<br />
meet a wide range of client flare types,<br />
monitoring requirements, and budgets.<br />
This product offers a new stainlesssteel<br />
enclosure for reduced corrosion<br />
and increased suitability for marine<br />
applications. Two models are available:<br />
Quasar 2 M8100-EXP and Quasar 2<br />
M8100-EXP Advanced. Scalable options<br />
are available with the advanced version<br />
including continuous 4-20 mA, peak<br />
hold and decay, and power supply with<br />
24V DC, and 85 to 265V AC input.<br />
High-resolution optics and selection of<br />
various spot sizes enables the Quasar<br />
2 to be positioned as far as 400 meters<br />
from the flare stack being monitored<br />
and ensure the highest flame signal<br />
detection. Alignment on the target is accomplished<br />
through the targeting port<br />
and the signal intensity LED bar displays<br />
amplitude in combination with a stable<br />
M-4 Heavy Duty Swivel Mount.<br />
Custom electronics adapt to target<br />
movement, varying luminosity, and most<br />
climate conditions. The alarm delay<br />
circuit can be adjusted for a specific location<br />
or application, eliminating false<br />
alarms from temporary loss of signal due<br />
to intermittent flames, adverse weather,<br />
and wind. The set point feature of the<br />
advanced unit can also be used for staged<br />
flares and will provide feedback on the<br />
staged flare status.<br />
Typical Applications for the use of<br />
Quasar 2 systems include:<br />
• Elevated Flares (either steam- airor<br />
gas- assisted)<br />
• Ground Flares (burn pit-flares,<br />
ground flare arrays)<br />
• Off-Shore Flares<br />
• Staged Flares<br />
