Honeywell C554A1687 Cad Cell Kit
The Honeywell C554A1687 Cad Cell Kit is a critical flame sensing component designed for residential and light commercial oil burners. This photoconductive flame detector uses a cadmium sulfide cell to monitor the oil flame, ensuring the primary safety control initiates a shutdown if the flame is not established or is lost during the run cycle. Featuring 15-inch lead wires and a standard 7006U bracket, this kit allows for flexible mounting within the burner housing. The cell is specifically calibrated to sense the visible light spectrum of an oil flame while ignoring the infrared radiation from hot refractory material, preventing false "flame-on" signals. For technicians performing oil burner maintenance or troubleshooting intermittent ignition failures, replacing an aged or fouled cad cell is a standard procedure to restore reliable cad cell resistance readings. This kit provides a direct drop-in solution for Honeywell oil primary controls, ensuring precise signal transmission and system safety.
Technical Specifications and Benefits- Precise Flame Detection: High-sensitivity cadmium sulfide cell optimizes flame signal strength for consistent controller operation.
- Standardized Fit: Includes the 7006U mounting bracket, compatible with a wide range of burner housings and air tubes.
- Extended Reach: Equipped with 15-inch leads to simplify routing through oil burner transformer plates and junction boxes.
- Rugged Housing: Built to withstand the high-temperature environment of the burner blast tube without signal degradation.
What should the resistance reading be on a Honeywell C554A?
With the burner firing, you should typically see a resistance reading below 1600 ohms. If the resistance exceeds this threshold while a strong flame is present, the cell may be fouled or requires replacement to prevent nuisance lockouts.
Can this kit replace older Honeywell cad cell versions?
Yes, the C554A1687 is a versatile replacement for most C554 series detectors. The included bracket and 15-inch leads are designed to accommodate legacy installs where shorter wiring was previously used.
Does this cell work with all oil primary controls?
This kit is compatible with most R4184, R8184, and R7184 Honeywell controls, as well as several electronic equivalents from other manufacturers that utilize a standard cad cell input.
