Description
The Brahma FC8/R photocell, SKU 18210025, is a flame sensor designed for precise control of gas burner valves. It features a 620 mm cable length, durable insulation, and high heat resistance. The detector type is photocell, and its stable design ensures consistent performance. This sensor is used on oil-fired and industrial burners where the flame is luminous and requires a direct line of sight.
Further details
| Flame detector use | flame detector used on oil-fired and industrial burners |
|---|---|
| Function | precise control of gas burner valves |
| Line of sight requirement | sensor must have a direct line of sight to the flame |
| Lockout behavior | if the control does not receive this signal within the safety time, it locks out and shuts down the fuel supply |
| Replacement check | ensure the new unit matches the original in terms of cable length and mounting arrangement |
| Response to light | responds to visible or infrared light emitted by the flame |
| Signal on flame | signals the burner control that combustion is established |
| Spectral response check | check that the spectral response is appropriate for the fuel and combustion characteristics |
| Typical failures | contaminated viewing window, weakened cell, broken sheath |
| Valve operation | reliable opening and closing of valves when voltage is applied |
Choosing and fitting
When selecting a replacement photocell of this kind, ensure the cable length and mounting arrangement match the original to fit the existing socket and view the flame correctly. Check that the spectral response is appropriate for the fuel and combustion characteristics of the burner. Parts of this class are selected by detection principle, spectral range, response time, cable length, connector type, and mounting sleeve.
Signs of failure
Typical failures include a contaminated viewing window, a weakened cell that no longer produces a strong signal, or a broken sheath. When the sensor fails, the burner control may not receive the signal within the safety time, causing a lockout and shutdown of the fuel supply. Check the viewing window for dirt or damage and test the sensor's output.
