INSTALLATION
When Installing this Product...
1. Read these instructions carefully. Failure to follow them 
could damage the product or cause a hazardous 
condition.
2. Check the ratings given in the instructions and on the 
product to make sure the product is suitable for your 
application.
3. Installer must be a trained, experienced flame safeguard 
service technician.
4. After installation is complete, check out product 
operation as provided in these instructions.
Equipment Damage Hazard.
Sensing tube can fail to discriminate between 
flame conditions.
Change sensing tube after 40,000 hours of 
continuous use.
Appliances with burners that remain on continuously for 
24 hours or longer should use the C7012E,F Flame Detector 
and the R7247C, or R7847C Amplifiers and associated 
controls.
Electrical shock hazard.
Can cause serious injury or death.
Disconnect power supply before beginning installation 
to prevent electrical shock and equipment damage. 
More that one disconnect can be involved.
IMPORTANT
1. Do not connect these detectors to non-Honeywell 
manufactured controls (primaries, programmers, 
multiburner systems, and burner management 
systems). Unsafe conditions could result.
2. All wiring must be NEC Class 1 (line voltage).
3. Voltage and frequency of the power supply connected 
to this detector must agree with the values marked on 
the detector.
4. The detector must be sighted so it does not respond 
to ignition spark.
5. On multiburner installations, each detector must 
respond only to the flame produced by the burner it is 
supervising.
6. Do not connect more than two C7012 Flame 
Detectors in parallel.
Proper flame detector installation is the basis of a safe and 
reliable flame safeguard installation. Refer also to the burner 
manufacturer instructions. Carefully follow the instructions for 
the best possible flame detection application.
Basic Requirements
The combustion flames of most carbon-based fuels emit 
sufficient ultraviolet radiation to enable the C7012 Solid State 
Purple Peeper® Ultraviolet Flame Detector to prove the 
presence of a flame in a combustion chamber. The detector is 
mounted outside the combustion chamber. Its mounting flange 
or union is threaded to one end of a sight pipe inserted through 
the wall of the combustion chamber. The ultraviolet sensing 
tube in the flame detector sights the flame through the pipe.
When a flame is present, the UV tube in the C7012 senses the 
ultraviolet radiation emitted. The C7012 produces a signal that 
is sent to the amplifier in the flame safeguard control. The 
amplified signal pulls the flame relay into the control to allow 
proper operation of the system.
Because it is necessary for the UV sensing tube to actually see 
the flame, it is best to locate the detector as close to the flame 
as physical arrangement, temperature, and other restrictions 
permit. These restrictions are described in detail in the 
following paragraphs.
Determine Location
Before beginning the actual installation, determine the best 
location for mounting the detector. Carefully consider the 
factors discussed in this section before deciding on 
the location.
Temperature
Install the C7012 where the ambient temperature (outside the 
case) stays within the ambient operating temperature ratings.
To keep the C7012 below its maximum rating, it may be 
necessary to add additional insulation between the wall of the 
combustion chamber and the detector. A shield or screen can 
be added to reflect radiated heat away from the detector. If the 
detector continues to get too hot, cooling is necessary. Refer to 
the Sight Pipe Ventilation section. A 190105 Water Jacket is 
also available for cooling the C7012A,E,G Flame Detectors. 
See Accessories.
Vibration
If the C7012 is subject to excessive vibration, use a special 
123539 Antivibration Mount for the C7012A,E or G. If you use 
this mount, install it before you position and sight the detector.
