SERVICE
Electrical Shock Hazard.
Can cause serious injury or death.
Open the master switch to disconnect power before 
removing or installing the detector or its cover. More 
than one disconnect can be involved.
Periodic Maintenance
1. Clean the viewing window (or focusing lens) when 
necessary. Remove the detector (see Troubleshooting 
section) and use a clean cloth over the eraser end of a 
pencil. Do not remove the window (or lens) to clean it. If 
it is broken or damaged or is coated with a substance 
that cannot be removed, replace it 
(see Fig. 24).
2. Keep the flame detection system adjusted for the 
smoothest, most reliable operation as recommended by 
the burner manufacturer.
3. Replace the sensing tube, coil and shutter assembly, 
or viewing window only when necessary to obtain proper 
operation.
Removing Detector Cover (All 
Models)
1. Open the master switch.
a. C7012A,E OR G: Unscrew the four captive cover 
screws (Fig. 7) and carefully slide off the cover.
b. C7012C OR F: Unscrew the six hex-head cover bolts 
(Fig. 8) and carefully pull off the cover.
NOTE: These bolts are removable. Put them in a safe place 
so you do not lose them.
Replacing Ultraviolet Sensing Tube 
(All Models) (Fig. 20)
1. Open the master switch and remove the cover from the 
detector (see instructions above).
2. Locate the UV sensing tube.
IMPORTANT
On a C7012E or F, be careful not to kink or otherwise 
damage the flexible shutter.
3. On a C7012E or F, gently bend the alignment guide just 
enough to free the tip of the tube.
4. Insert a screwdriver between the tube base and the 
socket, and gently pry the tube out of its socket.
5. Pull the tube completely out of its socket (and out of the 
shutter assembly on a C7012E or F).
6. On a C7012E or F, insert the new tube through the open-
ings in the shutter assembly.
7. Align the three pins on the new tube with the holes in the 
socket.
8. Carefully push the new tube firmly into the socket. (On a 
C7012E or F, the alignment guide snaps into place 
around the tip of the tube.)
9. Make sure the new UV sensor tube is seated securely.
NOTE: The cover for a C7012C or F has a small hole that is 
keyed to a pin on the body flange (Fig. 8).
10. Replace the detector cover.

Replacing Coil and Shutter Assembly 
(C7012E,F Only) (Fig. 21)
NOTE: Use only a 190971B Coil and Shutter Assembly. This 
assembly can also be used on existing C7012 Detec-
tors with electronic tubes. The actual operating volt-
age of the coil is either 110V or 120V, depending on 
the primary control used in the system.
1. Open the master switch and remove the detector cover 
(see Removing the Detector Cover section).
2. Remove the ultraviolet sensing tube (steps 1 through 5 
of Replacing the Ultraviolet Sensing Tube section).
3. Cut the white wires as close as possible to the crimped 
connectors, and remove the crimped connectors.
4. Remove the three mounting screws from the base of the 
coil and shutter assembly and put in a safe place.
5. Remove the coil and shutter assembly.
6. Put the new coil and shutter assembly into place.
IMPORTANT
Be very careful not to kink or otherwise damage the 
flexible shutter.
7. Insert the three mounting screws into the base of the coil 
and shutter assembly and tighten securely.
8. Remove sufficient insulation from each of the two white 
leadwires remaining on the detector, and also from each 
of the two white leadwires on the new coil.
9. Using solderless connectors, connect one of the coil 
wires to one of the remaining white leadwires. Connect 
the other coil wire to the other remaining white leadwire.
10. Reinstall the sensing tube (steps 6 through 9 of 
Replacing the Ultraviolet Sensing Tube section).
NOTE: The cover for a C7012F has a small hole that is keyed 
to a pin on the body flange (Fig. 9).
11. Replace the detector cover.
