INSTALLATION

When Installing this Product...

1.

Read these instructions carefully. Failure to follow them 

could damage the product or cause a hazardous 

condition.

2.

Check the ratings given in the instructions and on the 

product to make sure the product is suitable for your 

application.

3.

Installer must be a trained, experienced flame safeguard 

service technician.

4.

After installation is complete, check out product 

operation as provided in these instructions.

CAUTION

Equipment damage hazard. 

Sensing tube can fail to discriminate between 

flame conditions. Change sensing tube after 40,000 

hours of continuous use.

WARNING

Electrical shock hazard.

Can cause serious injury or death. 

Disconnect power supply before beginning 

installation to prevent electrical shock and 

equipment damage. More than one disconnect may 

be involved.

NOTICE

Per industry standards, a conduit seal or a cable type that 

is sealed is required to be installed in a device that can 

result in flammable gas or flammable liquid flow through a 

conduit or cable to an electrical ignition source in the 

event of a seal leakage or diaphragm failure.

IMPORTANT

1. Do not connect these detectors to non-Honeywell 

manufactured controls (primaries, programmers, 

multiburner systems, and burner management 

systems). Unsafe conditions could result.

2. All wiring must be NEC Class 1 (line voltage).

3. The C7061 is powered from the Flame Safeguard unit 

that delivers the necessary voltages to operate the 

sensing tube and shutter.

4. Sight the detector so it does not respond to ignition 

spark.

5. On multiburner installations, each detector must 

respond only to the flame of the burner it is 

supervising.

6. Do not connect more than two C7061 Flame 

Detectors in parallel.

Proper flame detector installation is the basis of a safe and 

reliable flame safeguard installation. Refer also to the burner 

manufacturer instructions. Carefully follow all instructions for 

the best possible flame detection application.

Basic Requirements

The combustion flames of most carbon-based fuels emit 

sufficient ultraviolet radiation to enable the C7061 (Purple 

Peeper) Ultraviolet Flame Detector to prove the presence of a 

flame in a combustion chamber. The detector is mounted 

outside the combustion chamber with its mounting nut 

threaded to one end of a sight pipe inserted through the wall of 

the combustion chamber. The ultraviolet sensing tube in the 

flame detector sights the flame through the pipe.

When a flame is present, the UV tube in the C7061 senses the 

ultraviolet radiation emitted. The C7061 then produces a signal 

that is sent to the amplifier in the flame safeguard control. The 

amplified signal energizes the flame relay in the control to allow 

proper system operation.
