1)  AC voltage, measured with no detector current at AC 230 V mains voltage. Internal resistance of measuring instrument 10 M. The 
shutter of the flame detector QRA53.../QRA55... is powered by mains voltage 
2)    Detector cable laid in a minimum distance of 5 cm from other mains carrying cable: 
-  As a multiple cable 
-  With 5 single wires 
Max. 50 m 
Max. 70 m 
  With a shielded 3-core control cable to terminals 3, 4 and 5 of the flame detector QRA53.../QRA55... and 
standard mains cable to terminals 1 and 2 
Max. 15 m 
  With 2 shielded single-core coaxial cables (45 pF/m, e.g. RG 62) to terminals 3 and 4 of the flame detector 
QRA53.../QRA55... and standard mains cable to terminals 1, 2 and 5 
Max. 60 m 
  If possible, shielding should be earthed at both ends 
3)  Longer cable distances are permitted when connecting low-capacitance detector cables to terminal 24 of the burner control 
(especially against earthed wires!) 
Detector current measurement 
 
 
 
The measuring device must be connected between the detector and terminal 22 (+pole 
to terminal 22).

Notice! 
Use the KF8832 measuring device (not suited for continuous operation). 
There is no self-checking while measurements are made.
