Weishaupt W-DK 3/01 S-2 Flame Detector

Technical specs, application notes, replacement checks, and related model references.

Product Overview

The Weishaupt W-DK 3/01 S-2 is an automatic gas valve proving system (leak detector) critical for the safe operation of industrial gas burners. Prior to every burner start-up (and optionally after shutdown), it automatically tests the integrity of the main gas safety shut-off valves. By accurately monitoring the pressure between the valves, it detects even microscopic gas leaks, instantly locking out the burner and triggering an alarm to prevent hazardous gas accumulation in the combustion chamber. It complies with the stringent EN 1643 European safety standards.
