Fig. 7. Mounting C7012A, E, or G Detector.
To mount a C7012C or F with explosion-proof housing (Fig. 8):
1. Unscrew the collar on the pipe union and remove the 
coupling section. The collar and coupling are in two 
pieces; do not separate them.
2. Screw the coupling onto the sight pipe, reducer, or other 
fitting.
3. Mount the remainder of the pipe union (with the detector) 
onto the coupling and securely tighten the collar.
Wiring (Fig. 9-16)
Equipment Damage Hazard.
Improper wiring can permanently damage 
amplifier.
When using a C7012E or F with an R7247C, R7847C 
Dynamic Self-Check Amplifier, be careful not to short 
the white shutter leadwires together (by wiring 
incorrectly, leaving an incorrect jumper wire, or 
stripping the insulation too much so the bare leadwires 
can touch).

IMPORTANT
Certain C7012E and all G models are designed to 
meet DIN and BGC requirements. They have an addi-
tional yellow/green grounding leadwire; connect this 
wire to a separate ground terminal on the wiring sub-
base.
1. All wiring must comply with applicable local electrical 
codes, ordinances and regulations.
NOTE: The detector has color-coded and labeled, plastic 
insulated, no. 18 leadwires, 8 feet (2/4 m) long, rated 
for 221°F (105°C).
2. Keep the flame signal leadwires as short as possible 
from the flame detector to the terminal strip or wiring 
subbase. 
NOTE: Capacitance increases with leadwire length, reducing 
the signal strength. The maximum permissible 
leadwire length depends on the type of leadwire, 
conduit type and diameter. The ultimate limiting factor 
in flame signal leadwire length is the signal current or 
voltage at the flame safeguard device. Refer to Table 
1.
3. Detector leadwires can be spliced for longer leadwire 
runs, observing the following considerations (see Fig. 9):
a. Make required splices in a junction box.
b. Use moisture-resistant no. 14 wire suitable for at 
least 167°F (75°C).
c. For high temperature installations, use Honeywell 
specification No. 32004766-003 or equivalent for the 
F leadwire. This wire is rated up to 400°F (250°C) for 
continuous duty. It it tested for operation up to 20,000 
volts and for breakdown up to 32,000 volts. For the 
other leadwires, use moisture-resistant no. 14 wire 
selected for a temperature rating above the maxi-
mum operating temperature.
d. F and G wires (blue and yellow) must be run in their 
own conduit independent of other power carrying 
leadwires. More than one set of scanner F and G 
wires can be run in the same conduit.
e. A shielded twisted pair wire may be substituted for 
conduit for routing the F leadwire (blue). Be advised 
of the capacitance per foot of shielded wire effec-
tively reduces the flame signal at the flame safe-
guard device. Be sure to ground the shield to the G 
terminal at the flame safeguard wiring subbase. 
f. The detector power and shutter wires need to be run 
in their own conduit as well, avoiding other electrical 
noise carrying wiring.
g. The scanner wires should remain separated a mini-
mum of 2 inches from other line voltage wires in the 
main control panel to the flame safeguard device.
4. The following installation considerations can influence 
detector operation and maximum leadwire length and 
should be avoided:
a. Moisture.
b. Ignition interference.
c. high resistance connections or poor grounds.
d. Leadwire capacitance.
e. Voltage fluctuations.
f. Induced line transients.
g. Floating grounds—ground at some voltage above 
earth ground.
h. No G wire—burner used as ground.
i. Detector output less than maximum attainable for the 
installation (inadequate sighting).
5. Refer to Fig. 10 through 17 for wiring connections.
