RA890G

Protectorelay™ Primary Control

The RA890G Protectorelay™ control provides

solid state electronic safeguard protection for in-
dustrial and commercial gas, oil, or combination
gas-oil burners.

Designed for interrupted ignition with intermittent
pilot for gas burners, and for interrupted or inter-
mittent ignition on oil burners.

Used only with a C7027, C7035, or C7044 Mini-
peeper Ultraviolet Flame Detector.

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

Solid state circuitry eliminates warmup and in-
creases resistance to vibration.

Push-to-reset safety switch button is in dust-resis-
tant enclosure.

Safe start check prevents start if flame or flame
simulating failure is present.

Automatic safety switch lockout if flame fails on
start or if flame is not re-established after a flame
failure.

When limit control opens, control de-energizes
ignition and fuel valves, but safety switch lockout
will not occur.

Test jack permits readings of flame signal.

Easy mounting and removal through use of captive
mounting screws. Durable thermosplastic mount-
ing base.
