C7961E,F DYNAMIC SELF-CHECK ULTRAVIOLET FLAME DETECTOR

65-0267-09

IMPORTANT

The notch and arrow on the faceplate must be aligned 

in a vertical plane with the notch up and the arrow 

pointing down.

The housing must be mounted with the conduit opening 

approximately 45° below horizontal (see Fig. 6).

To mount a C7961E (Fig. 8):

1.

The mounting flange is in two pieces. Loosen (but do not 

remove) the three screws holding the flange together.

2.

Slightly rotate the detector so the slots in the back sec-

tion of the mounting flange clear the screws in the front 

section; then separate the two sections.

3.

Screw the front section of the mounting flange onto the 

sight pipe, reducer, or other fitting.

4.

Fit the slots in the back section of the mounting flange 

(with the detector) over the three screws in the front sec-

tion, and rotate the detector so the screws hold the 

flange together.

5.

Tighten the screws securely.

To mount the C7961F with explosion-proof housing (Fig. 9):

1.

Unscrew the collar on the pipe union and remove the 

coupling section. The collar and coupling are in two 

pieces; do not separate them.

2.

Screw the coupling onto the sight pipe, reducer, or other 

fitting.

3.

Mount the remainder of the pipe union (with the detector) 

onto the coupling and securely tighten the collar.

WIRING (FIG. 10)

CAUTION

Equipment damage hazard.

Improper wiring can permanently damage amplifier.

Follow all wiring directions carefully to avoid equipment 

damage.

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.

1.

All wiring must comply with applicable local electrical 

codes, ordinances, and regulations. Use NEC Class 1 

wiring.

2.

Keep the flame signal leadwires as short as possible 

from the flame detector to the terminal strip or wiring 

subbase. Capacitance increases with leadwire length, 

reducing the signal strength. The maximum permissible 

leadwire length depends on the type of leadwire and 

conduit type and diameter. 

The ultimate limiting factor in 

flame signal leadwire length is the signal current.

 Refer 

to Table 1.

3.

The detector has color-coded plastic-insulated lead-

wires, 8 ft (2.4m) long, rated for 221°F (105°C). 

These 

wires must be run in a conduit.

4.

If the leadwires are not long enough to reach the termi-

nal strip or wiring subbase, make the required splices in 

a junction box.

5.

If splicing is necessary, use moisture-resistant 14 AWG 

wire suitable for at least 167°F (75°C).

6.

For high temperature installations,

 use Honeywell speci-

fication No. R1298020 wire or equivalent for the F lead-

wire. This wire is rated up to 400°F (204°C) for 

continuous duty. It is tested for operation up to 600 volts 

and for breakdown up to 7500 volts. For the other lead-

wires, use moisture-resistant 14 AWG wire selected for a 

temperature rating above the maximum operating tem-

perature.

7.

Refer to Fig. 10 for wiring connections.

IMPORTANT

Do not run the flame detector wiring in the same con-

duit with high voltage ignition transformer wires.
