Abstract

The photocell (2) is sensitive to electromagnetic radiation in the optical or visible band. It is connected to a first amplifier (1) which in turn is connected to a band-pass filter (5). The signal may be divided up into several time bands, with the circuit tuned to the flicker frequency of the observed flames. The band-pass filter is connected to a second amplifier (3), which is in turn connected to a comparator (4) which receives a reference signal (U ref). The output of the comparator is fed to a microprocessor.
