C7012A,C,E,F,G SOLID STATE PURPLE PEEPER® ULTRAVIOLET FLAME DETECTORS
7 60-2398-17
NOTE: If you use 118367A Swivel Mount and you are 
positive about the location and sighting angle, you 
can permanently weld the pipe.
Install Fittings
In some cases, the sight pipe will not directly fit the C7012 
mounting flange or union. Also, it may be desirable or 
necessary to ventilate the sight pipe. You may also want to use 
a swivel mount or an antivibration mount. Each of these cases 
can require additional fittings.
Reducer
For sight pipes of larger diameter than the mounting flange 
connector or union, install a reducer as illustrated in Fig. 5. The 
reducer requires a close nipple with these external threads:
C7012A or E: 3/4 or 1 in. NPT (depending on model).
C7012C or F: 1 in. NPT.
C7012G: 3/4 in. NPT.
Sight Pipe Ventilation (C7012A,E, or 
G)
It may be necessary to ventilate the sight pipe to cool the 
detector or to clear a viewing path through UV radiation 
attenuating material.
For a negative pressure combustion chamber, drilling a few 
holes in the section of the sight pipe outside of the combustion 
chamber allows air at atmospheric pressure to flow through the 
sight pipe and into the chamber. A perforated pipe nipple 
between the sight pipe and the detector can also be used.
For a positive pressure combustion chamber, connect a supply 
of pressurized air from the burner blower to flow through the 
sight pipe and into the chamber. The air pressure must be 
greater than the chamber pressure.
Antivibration Mount (C7012A,E, or G)
The detector can withstand normal burner vibration. If the 
vibration is excessive, part no. 123539 Antivibration Mount is 
available for a C7012A,E or G. (For mounting details, see form 
60-0361.) If you use this mount, install it before positioning and 
sighting the detector.
Mount the Detector (Fig. 5-8)
Mount the detector onto the sight pipe, reducer, or other fitting 
(see Fig. 5-8).
The C7012A,C,G Flame Detectors do not have the oscillating 
shutter mechanism for checking the UV sensor so they can be 
mounted in any position suitable for the temperature 
environment.
The C7012E,F Self-Checking Flame Detectors incorporate an 
oscillating shutter mechanism and, therefore, require special 
consideration for mounting positions other than vertically 
sighting downward or upward. The C7012E has notch and 
arrow indicators (see Fig. 6) on the faceplate to facilitate 
mounting. The notch and arrow must be vertically aligned with 
the notch in the up position and the arrow pointing downward 
(see Fig. 6). The C7012F must be mounted with the conduit 
opening located approximately 45 degrees below the 
horizontal (see Fig. 6).
Fig. 6. C7012E,F mounting positions.
IMPORTANT
The notch and arrow on the faceplate of the C7012E 
must be aligned in a vertical plane with the notch up 
and the arrow pointing downward.
The C7012F housing must be mounted with the 
conduit opening approximately 45° below horizontal 
(see Fig. 6).
To mount a C7012A,E or G (Fig. 7):
1. The mounting flange has two pieces. Loosen (but do not 
remove) the three screws holding the flange together.
2. Slightly rotate the detector so the slots in the back 
section of the mounting flange clear the screws in the 
front section; then separate the two sections.
3. Screw the front section of the mounting flange onto the 
sight pipe, reducer, or other fitting.
4. Fit the slots in the back section of the mounting flange 
(with the detector) over the three screws in the front sec-
tion, and rotate the detector so the screws hold the 
flange together.
5. Tighten the screws securely.
