Heil Quaker ICP 3002280 Photo Cell
The Heil Quaker ICP 3002280 Photo Cell is a critical safety component designed for precise flame detection in oil burner systems. For technicians working on Riello R40 series burners or ICP (Heil Quaker) equipment, this cad cell eye (cross-referenced with part numbers 20132573 and 87161092610) provides the rapid response necessary to monitor combustion. Engineered from high-durability ABS, this photocell flame sensor detects the specific visible light spectrum of an oil flame to ensure the primary control remains engaged. If the flame is lost, the sensor signals the control board to immediately terminate the fuel supply, preventing unburned oil accumulation and potential combustion hazards. Its two-pin plug-and-play configuration allows for a direct fit in residential and commercial boilers, including models from Grant, Warmflow, and Firebird.
Key Benefits for the Contractor:- OEM Compatibility: Exact replacement for Heil Quaker 3002280 and Riello 20132573, eliminating field modifications.
- Broad Application: Suits Riello 40 series burners (F3, F5, F10, M3, M5) and various European-style oil boilers.
- Engineered Precision: High-sensitivity photodiode calibrated for the light signature of oil-fired combustion.
- Robust Build: High-temperature ABS construction designed to withstand the harsh environment of the burner housing.
What are the symptoms of a failing 3002280 photo cell?
Technicians usually see frequent burner lockouts or a "no flame" error code even when ignition is successful. If the photocell lens is clouded or the internal resistor is out of spec, the control board won't "see" the flame and will trip the safety circuit.
Can I clean the sensor instead of replacing it?
While soot buildup on the lens can be wiped away with a soft cloth to restore some performance, internal degradation of the cadmium sulfide material is common. For reliable long-term operation, replacing the sensor is the standard best practice.
How do I test this flame sensor in the field?
Using a multimeter set to ohms, you should see high resistance (darkness) when covered and low resistance (typically under 1.5k ohms) when exposed to a light source. If resistance stays high in the light, the sensor has failed.
