JC-15D2 

Flue Gas Temperature Monitor 

 

Installation & Operation Instructions 

 

Why should Flue Gas Temperature be Monitored ? 

 

Every 40 F increase in Flue Temperature results in an approximate 1% decrease in Boiler/Furnace Efficiency. 

 

High Flue Temperature can indicate a need to clean soot or scale build-up on the tubes. 

 

High Flue Temperature can indicate fallen refractory, baffle damage, short circuiting, or overfiring. 

 

High Flue Temperature can indicate insufficient feedwater 

 

Hartford Steam records show that Boiler Overheating is the primary reason for Boiler Damage.

Description 

The

 

JC-15D2

 

Flue Gas Temperature Monitor is a digital Indicator and Alarm. Flue gas 

temperature  is  displayed  on  a  backlit  color  touchscreen  LCD  display.    An  intuitive 
bargraph display and alarm messages provide clear stack temperature status. Bargraph 
Scaling, Alarm Setpoints, and Time Delays are all field selectable. All adjustments can 

be made directly from the faceplate of the instrument by navigating through user friendly menus. JC_Edit PC software can also be 
used to configure the 

JC-15D2

 via the USB port and to import the Alarm/Event History into JC_Edit. 

 
Any J or K thermocouple can be used with the 

JC-15D2

 to sense the temperature. The 20” 104087D and the 12” 104087E are 

constructed with an Inconel sheath for corrosion protection, ½" male NPT process connection, cast iron head with terminal block, 
and ½" female NPT electrical connection.
