How long does it take to install a SureFire BMS?
The SureFire system features true plug-and-play functionality, and a typical installation time is 3-6 hours with a trained crew.

Can SureFire equipment be used in extremely hot or cold environments?
Yes, SureFire equipment is designed to operate in extreme temperatures, with hardware rated for environments ranging from -40°F to +131°F. Thousands of units are in use across both hot and cold climates, from Texas to North Dakota.

What are the power requirements for a SureFire system?
For the Flare-100, BMS-300, 300H, and BMS-350H:

• Battery Voltage: 11-15 volts DC

• Solar Panel Voltage: 12 volts DC

• Solar Panel Current: 8 amps max

How does a SureFire system react when power is lost?
If the SureFire system has a battery backup, it will continue to operate. If line power is used without a backup, the system will shut down.

Can the SureFire BMS have dual temperature process control (gas and liquid) capabilities?
Yes, the SureFire BMS can be configured for dual temperature control for both gas and liquid processes. Please contact SureFire for further evaluation and customization.

Can the SureFire BMS detect loss of flame?
Yes, the SureFire BMS is capable of detecting the loss of flame, ensuring safe and reliable operation.

How does your flame detection function?
The SureFire BMS detects flame through three devices:

• Igniter

• Flame Rod

• Thermocouple

Is SureFire approved for hazardous areas?
Yes, SureFire is approved for CLASS I DIV2, Groups C, D, and T6 hazardous areas.

Is SureFire NFPA 87 compliant?
Yes, SureFire is NFPA 87 compliant under the Class H heaters designation, ensuring that our systems meet the necessary safety standards and regulations for industrial burner management.

How long does a SureFire controller last? Is there a lot of maintenance required?
SureFire controllers are designed for long-lasting performance and require minimal maintenance. With proper care, these systems can operate effectively for many years. We recommend following the maintenance guidelines for optimal performance.

Can you test a flame arrestor’s integrity on equipment with a SureFire BMS installed?
Yes, SureFire’s ignition unit is engineered to withstand the harsh temperatures involved in API RP 12N flame arrestor testing, allowing for integrity testing on equipment with the BMS installed.

Does the SureFire BMS have an extreme high-temperature shutdown, and is it adjustable?
Yes, the SureFire BMS includes an extreme high-temperature shutdown feature. It is set at 50°F above the high-temperature set point but is not adjustable.

Does the system log operational data continuously? Can it be retrieved and used?
The BMS-300 and BMS-350 systems log ignition attempts, successful ignitions, and burner operation times. Data logging technology is in development and will soon be available. Please contact our sales staff for more information and a release date.

Can I customize the operating parameters?
Yes, we can accommodate most customized operating parameters based on your specific operational needs. Please contact SureFire to discuss further.

Can the SureFire system be controlled by any other device?
Yes, the SureFire system can be integrated with other control systems, depending on your specific setup and needs. Please contact SureFire for more information.

What is the difference between your BMS (Burner Management System) and a pilot maintainer?
A BMS manages process target temperatures and controls both the pilot and main burner valves, while a pilot maintainer only manages the pilot valve.

Does the SureFire system have inputs and outputs?
Yes, the SureFire system is equipped with inputs and outputs. For more details, please call SureFire for specific input and output information.

What kind of warranty does SureFire offer?
