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.

Selection Notes & Data Verification
The W-DK 3/01 S-2 page is structured for engineering comparison: confirm the product type, firing range, fuel type, operating mode, electrical supply, and safety approvals against the manufacturer datasheet before specifying the burner or component.
Burner.wiki normalizes product data for discovery and comparison, but final selection should account for combustion chamber backpressure, local emission limits, control sequence requirements, and site commissioning conditions.
