Fig. 8. Mounting C7044A Detector on blast tube.

The C7044 is mounted in a 29/32 in. (23.0 mm) hole in the 
blast tube. The mounting bracket is fastened to the blast tube 
with 2 screws on 1-27/64 in. (36.1 mm) centers.

The mounting bracket is designed so that the detector can be 
removed from the blast tube for cleaning and then replaced 
without disturbing the sighting angle. Loosen the 2 screws 
holding the bracket to the blast tube, but do not loosen the 
clamp screw on the bracket. Twist both the bracket and 
detector to remove them.

WIRING (ALL MODELS—FIG. 10)

CAUTION

Equipment Damage Hazard.
Can cause improper operation.
The blue (tan with blue tracer with C7035A1080) 
leadwire must be connected to the F terminal of the 
flame safeguard control subbase or terminal strip and 
the white (tan leadwire without blue tracer with 
C7035A1080) to the G terminal (see Fig. 10). Failure 
to observe the circuit polarity by reversing the 
leadwires (even momentarily) may cause the flame 
detector to improperly supervise the combustion 
flame.

1.Disconnect power supply before beginning installation to 

prevent electrical shock and equipment damage. All 
wiring must comply with applicable electrical codes, 
ordinances, and regulations. Use NEC Class 1 wiring.

2.If the leadwires are not long enough to reach the terminal 

strip or wiring subbase, make the required splices in a 
junction box.

3.If splicing is necessary, use moisture-resistant wire 

suitable for at least 167°F [75°C] if the detector is used 
with a flame safeguard primary control, or at least 194°F 
[90°C] if used with a flame safeguard programming 
control.

4.For high temperature installations, use Honeywell 

Specification no. R1298020 or equivalent for the F 
leadwire. (This wire is rated up to 400°F [204°C] for 
continuous duty. It is tested for operation up to 600V 
and breakdown up to 7500V.) For the other leadwires, 
use moisture-resistant wire selected for a temperature 
rating above the maximum operating temperature.

IMPORTANT:

 Do not run the flame detector wiring in the same 
conduit with high voltage ignition transformer wires.
