C7061A1046 Honeywell Ultraviolet Flame Detector Datasheet

Overview

The Honeywell C7061A1046 is a state-of-the-art UV flame detection sensor using a dynamic self-checking mechanism (oscillating shutter) to validate the health of the UV sensing tube while the burner is in operation. It is widely used in industrial and commercial combustion systems to provide reliable flame supervision with built-in fault detection capability.

This unit supports mounting at any angle, features field-replaceable components, and allows parallel wiring for difficult sighting scenarios. It is suitable for a broad set of burner types using gas, oil, or mixed fuels.

Specifications

Features & Benefits

• Dynamic self-checking ensures the UV sensing element is functional during operation

• Oscillating shutter momentarily blocks UV light to validate sensor integrity

• Can be mounted at any orientation without performance loss

• Parallel wiring support helps mitigate nuisance shutdowns in difficult sight paths

• Field-replaceable UV tube and quartz window ease maintenance

• Robust housing rated for outdoor or harsh environments

• Built to interface with Honeywell flame amplifiers and safeguard systems

Applications

• Industrial burner systems requiring flame supervision

• Boilers, furnaces, incinerators

• Systems where reliability and diagnostic feedback are critical

• Retrofitting older UV detectors with advanced self-check technology

• Installations with tight geometry or difficult flame paths

Installation & Maintenance Notes

• Align the faceplate correctly to ensure proper shutter timing

• Use metal sight pipe (carbon steel) to reduce reflections and interference

• Route wiring away from ignition or high-voltage conductors

• Test periodically to confirm the self-check shutter function

• Replace the UV tube or window if signal degradation or shutter faults occur
