INSTALLATION

WIRING THE SUBBASE

IMPORTANT: When connecting wire to screw terminal of

terminal strip, wrap wire at least 3/4 of distance
around screw without overlapping. With appropri-
ately sized screwdriver, tighten screw until wire is
snugly in contact with underside of screw and contact
plate. Tighten screw additional one-half turn. Do not
use push-type ratchet screwdriver.

1. All wiring must comply with applicable electrical

codes, ordinances, and regulations. Use NEC Class 1 wiring.

2. For  normal installations, use moisture-resistant

No. 14 wire (rated for 167

°

F (75

°

C) or higher required by

Underwriters Laboratories Inc).

3. For high temperature installations, use moisture-re-

sistant No. 14 wire selected for a temperature rating above
the maximum operating temperature for all but the ignition
and flame detector F leadwires.

a. For  the ignition, use Honeywell Specification no.

R1061012 Ignition Cable or equivalent. (This wire is
rated at 350

°

F (175

°

C) for continuous duty, and up to

500

°

F (260

°

C) for intermittent use. It was tested to

25,000 volts.)

b. For  the flame detector F leadwire, use Honeywell

Specification no. R1298020 or equivalent. (This wire
is rated up to 400

°

F (205

°

C) for continuous duty. It is

tested for operation up to 600 volts and breakdown up
to 7500 volts.)

4. For ignition installations in a contaminating environ-

ment,  use Honeywell Specification no. R1239001 High
Tension Ignition Cable or equivalent. This wire is very
resistant to severe conditions of oil, heat, and corona, and is
tested to withstand high voltages up to 25,000V rms in a salt
bath for one minute without breakdown. It is rated at 200

°

F

(93

°

C) for continuous duty, and up to 350

°

F (175

°

C) for

intermittent use.

IMPORTANT:  Do not run high voltage ignition trans-

former wires in the same conduit with the flame
detector wiring.

5. Refer to Fig. 2 and 3 for typical field wiring connec-

tions. Follow the burner manufacturer’s wiring diagram if
provided.

Fig. 2—Gas system with interrupted ignition.

APPLICATIONS

Either a line or low voltage controller can be used. If a

line voltage controller is used, connect it between the limit
control and terminal 6, and jumper T-T.

Refer to the appropriate flame detector instructions when

paralleling two flame detectors.

IMPORTANT: The C7027, C7035 and C7044 Flame De-

tector leads are color coded blue and white. The blue
lead must be connected to the F terminal and the white
lead to the G terminal. The circuit is dc and the UV
tube is polarity sensitive. Reversing the leads, even
momentarily, can damage or destroy the UV tube.

All wiring must be NEC Class 1 and conform to local

electrical codes, ordinances, and regulations. If the leadwires
are not long enough to reach the flame safeguard control,
splices must be made in a junction box.

FOR INTERMITTENT IGNITION, CONNECT TO TERMINAL 3.

ALARM TERMINALS OPTIONAL. IF LINE VOLTAGE ALARM IS USED.
RA890G MUST BE MOUNTED IN SUITABLE ENCLOSURE. ALARM 
TERMINALS ARE ENERGIZED THROUGH THE RA890 SAFETY SWITCH.
ALARM IS NOT SOUNDED  UNTIL THE SAFETY SWITCH TRIPS OUT.

PROVIDE DISCONNECT MEANS AND OVERLOAD PROTECTION 
AS REQUIRED.

MAY USE LINE OR LOW VOLTAGE CONTROLLER. IF LINE VOLTAGE 
CONTROLLER IS USED, CONNECT IT BETWEEN THE LIMIT CONTROL
