Honeywell C7061A1053 Ultraviolet Flame Detector
The Honeywell C7061A1053 Ultraviolet Flame Detector is a specialized dynamic self-checking flame sensor, commonly referred to as the Purple Peeper, engineered for continuous-burn industrial and commercial applications. Operating on 120 VAC, this UV detector is designed to interface specifically with Honeywell R7861 dynamic self-check amplifiers to provide fail-safe flame monitoring. By utilizing an oscillating shutter that interrupts the UV radiation path several times per minute, the C7061A1053 internally verifies the integrity of the UV sensor and the circuitry, ensuring the system can distinguish between a real flame and a component failure.
Built for the rigors of the mechanical room, this unit features a NEMA 4 rated enclosure, making it suitable for environments where dust and moisture are present. It mounts via a 1-inch NPT connection and includes 96-inch color-coded lead wires for straightforward integration into combustion control systems. Whether you are monitoring gas, oil, or multi-fuel burners, the C7061A1053 maintains reliable signal strength in ambient temperatures ranging from -40°F to 175°F. This model is a direct technical upgrade or replacement for several legacy units, including the C7061A1012 and various C7012E series detectors, provided the correct amplifier is in place.
Key Benefits for the Contractor:- Continuous Self-Checking: The integrated shutter mechanism eliminates the need for manual shutdowns to test the flame sensor, maximizing uptime in 24/7 operations.
- Broad Spectral Sensitivity: Optimized to detect ultraviolet radiation from gas and oil flames while ignoring infrared heat from hot refractory.
- Rugged Enclosure: The NEMA 4 construction protects internal optics from harsher industrial environments.
- Universal Mounting: The standard 1-inch NPT connection ensures compatibility with most blast tubes and viewing ports.
- Extended Lead Wires: 8-foot lead wires provide ample length for routing through conduit to the burner controller.
Can I use the C7061A1053 with a standard R7847 or R7849 amplifier?
No, this detector requires dynamic self-check circuitry found only in R7861 amplifiers. Using it with a non-self-checking amplifier will prevent the system from operating correctly.
Does this detector work on coal-fired systems?
Yes, the Honeywell C7061A1053 is effective for monitoring UV radiation in gas, oil, coal, and other fuel sources, provided the sensor has a clear line of sight to the flame.
Is the shutter mechanism replaceable in the field?
The shutter is an internal component of the C7061A1053 housing. If the shutter fails to cycle, the flame signal will be lost, and generally, the entire detector unit must be serviced or replaced to maintain the NEMA 4 rating.
