HANDLING PRECAUTIONS
•
Use the
AUD15
in combination with the
AUD100/110/120
dedicated socket.
•
The
AUD15
can also be used as the tube unit for the
C7035A
Minipeeper
Ultraviolet Flame Detector.
•
The allowable ambient temperature range for the
AUD15
when used alone
is -20 to +120 °C. However, if it is used with a dedicated socket, its ambi-
ent temperature range may be limited by that of the socket. (Example: the
maximum allowable ambient temperature for the
AUD120
is 105 °C.)
•
Take special care in handling the
AUD15
to avoid impact and shock.
•
When transporting or storing the
AUD15
, be sure to put it in a secure packing box.
•
When the ambient temperature exceeds 110, 115, or 120 °C, the thermo-
label dot corresponding to each temperature changes color from white to
black. Use an air purge for cooling so that the ambient temperature does
not exceed the maximum allowable temperature (120 °C), together with a
sealed adapter (model No. 81403159).
OVERVIEW
The AUD15 is a phototube used to detect ultraviolet radiation emitted from
combustion flames. Since this unit is essential to ensure the safe operation of
combustion equipment, treat it with care when handling and storing it.

Thermolabel
This label is affixed to the AUD15. Keep the air cool enough (by air
purge, etc.) so that the label does not change color from
white to black. Use the label as a guide to avoid using
the tube at an excessive ambient temperature.
INSERTION INTO THE AUD100/110/120
Position the signal pins (gold-plated) of the AUD15 to the left and right of the
