Cleaning the Ultraviolet Flame
Detector of the GasTrac

A dirty ultraviolet flame detector may fail to recognize burner ignition, which will
cause the GasTrac to alarm and shut down automatically.

To clean the ultraviolet flame detector:

1

Stop the GasTrac.

Press the red

“STOP” button, then press the rocker
switch to “OFF.”

2

Disconnect and lock out the main power.

3

Remove the flame detector.

Loosen the mounting nut

while holding the flame detector, then pull the detector
away from the viewing hole.

4

Clean the viewing hole lens.

Use a soft cloth or cotton

swab moistened with alcohol.

5

Replace the flame detector.

Align the detector over

the viewing hole, and thread the silver mounting nut
onto the coupling. Hand tighten first. Then using an
appropriately-sized wrench to tighten the nut an
additional quarter turn.

Replacement flame detectors
are available from Conair.
