C7061A1053 Honeywell Flame Sensor Datasheet
The 120 Vac Flame Sensor C7061A1053/U (UPC: 085267262224)
The Honeywell C7061A1053 Ultraviolet Flame Sensor (commonly called the Purple Peeper) is a self-checking UV flame detector designed for safe monitoring of burners firing gas, oil, or other fuels. Operating on 120 VAC, this sensor provides continuous dynamic self-check functionality when used with R7861 Dynamic Self-Check Amplifiers, ensuring reliable flame safeguard performance. The Honeywell C7061A1053 UV Flame Detector is designed for use with Honeywell 7800 Series Burner Controls, providing reliable flame monitoring for commercial and industrial burners. This flame sensor detects ultraviolet radiation emitted by gas or oil flames to ensure safe operation and automatic shutdown in case of flame failure.
Built for industrial applications, the C7061A1053 features a 1-inch mounting, 96-inch color-coded lead wires for easy installation, and a rugged NEMA 4 enclosure for protection in harsh environments. It offers a wide -40°F to 175°F ambient temperature rating, making it suitable for demanding combustion systems.
Overview
Dynamic self-checking flame detector used with R7861 Dynamic Self-check Amplifiers for sensing the ultraviolet radiation generated by the combustion of gas, oil, or other fuels.
Features
- Oscillating shutter interrupts ultraviolet radiation reaching the UV sensor to provide the UV sensor tube checking function.
- Can be mounted horizontally, vertically or at any angle in between.
- The detector requires faceplate alignment and has integral locating reference points to assure proper operation of the shutter mechanism.
- Field replaceable ultraviolet sensing tube and quartz viewing window.
- Models with threaded conduit fitting and color-coded leadwires allow rapid electrical installation.
- C7061A1038 or A1046 5 pin Brad Harrison type (formally 41307N) mating connector not supplied nor available through Honeywell.
- Two detectors can be wired in parallel to reduce nuisance shutdowns in difficult flame sighting applications.
- Protective heat block built into mounting flange.
- -40 F (-40 C) rated ultraviolet sensing tube is supplied.
- C7061E meets NEMA 4 standards with viewing window rated to 20 psi.
- C7061F has an explosion-proof housing for use in hazardous atmospheres with a viewing window rated to 100 psi.
- Dynamic Self-Checking Ultraviolet (UV) Flame Detector used with R7861 Dynamic Self-Check Amplifiers for sensing ultraviolet radiation generated by combustion of gas, oil, or other fuels.
- Oscillating shutter interrupts UV radiation reaching the UV sensor tube (about 12 times per minute) to provide the UV sensor tube checking / self-check function.
- Can be mounted horizontally, vertically or at any angle in between.
- The detector requires faceplate alignment with integral locating reference points to ensure proper shutter mechanism operation.
- Field-replaceable ultraviolet sensing tube and quartz viewing window.
- Models with threaded conduit fitting and color-coded lead wires for rapid electrical installation.
- Two detectors can be wired in parallel to reduce nuisance shutdowns in difficult flame-sighting applications.
- Protective heat block built into mounting flange.
- -40 °F (−40 °C) rated ultraviolet sensing tube supplied.
