ADJUSTMENTS AND 

CHECKOUT

For initial burner lightoff, consult the burner manufacturer 

instructions or the flame safeguard control instructions.

Adjust Detector Sighting

With the flame detector installed and the burner running, adjust 

the sighting position of the detector for optimum flame signal.

Fig. 10. Wiring diagram for C7961E,F Detectors 

with 7800 Series Flame Safeguard 

controls. 

It is suggested that a volt-ohm meter with a minimum sensitivity 

of one megohm/volt and a zero to five or ten Vdc scale be used 

for R7861 Amplifier flame signal measurements. Measure the 

flame signal as illustrated in 

Fig. 10. Be careful to make the proper connections of 

positive (red) meter lead to positive (+) control jack and 

negative (black) meter lead to negative (-) or (-Com) jack with 

7800 Series controls. When the 7800 Series control has a 

Keyboard Display Module, a zero to five Vdc voltage is 

displayed on the module.

NOTES:

1.

The shutter operation could cause fluctuations in 

the voltage reading. Read the average stable read-

ing, disregarding the peaks.

2.

The flame signal must be steady (or stable as 

described in note 1).

Move the detector and sight pipe around to sight the flame 

from various positions and angles. Try to get a maximum 

steady (or stable) reading on the meter that is above the 

minimum acceptable voltage listed in Table 1.

Measure the flame signal for the pilot alone, the main burner 

flame alone, and both together (unless monitoring only the pilot 

flame when using an intermittent pilot, or only the main burner 

flame when using direct spark ignition). Also measure the 

flame signal at low and high firing rates and while modulating in 

between (as applicable). With the detector in its final position, 

all required flame signals must be steady 

(or stable) and as specified in Table 1. If you cannot obtain the 

proper signal, refer to the Troubleshooting section.

Pilot Turndown Test

When the detector is used to prove a pilot flame before the 

main fuel valve(s) can be opened, perform a Pilot Turndown 

Test before welding the sight pipe into position. Follow the 

procedures in the flame safeguard control instructions and in 

the burner manufacturer instructions.

Ultraviolet Response Tests Ignition 

Spark Response Test

Test to be sure that ignition spark is not actuating the flame 

relay in the flame safeguard control.

1.

Close the pilot and main burner manual shutoff valves.
