Eclipse Veri-Flame Single Burner Monitoring System, Model 5600, V1, Installation Guide 818, 1/15/2015
■
Use only Eclipse scanner models as listed in the
Illustrated Parts List at the end of this document.
Scanners
When installing scanners, please consider the following:
1. Position the scanner within 457 mm (18 inches) of
the flame. Consult factory for longer distances.
2. Bushing threads are 1/2" FNPT for all scanner
models except 5602-91 which has 1" FNPT
bushing threads.
3. The ambient temperature limits of each scanner
varies; check the literature for the specific scanner
model. For higher temperatures, use Eclipse heat
block seal 23 HBS for 1/2" NPT. scanners and if
necessary, add cooling purge air.
4. An optional magnifying lens may also be used to
increase the flame signal strength in difficult
sighting situations.
Scanner Sighting Considerations
Figure 6.2.
Aim scanners at the third of the flame closest to the burner
nozzle, see Figure 6.2 (oil flames typically have less UV
radiation in the outer flame). The scanner should view the
intersection of the pilot and main flames. When sighting
scanners, please consider the following:
1. If possible, sight the scanner away from the ignition
spark. Sighting the spark or its reflections from
burner internals may lead to a misdiagnosis of
shutdowns during burner ignition. If necessary, use
a scanner orifice to reduce spark pickup.
2. Do not allow the scanner to detect a pilot flame that
is too small to ignite the main burner.
3. Perform a minimum pilot test when installing or
adjusting any pilot or main burner system; see
“Minimum Pilot Test”.
