Honeywell C7027A1049 Flame Detector

When you're out in the field dealing with industrial burner assemblies, you need a C7027A1049 Flame Detector that provides precise ultraviolet flame detection without the nuisance of false signals. This Honeywell Minipeeper is the industry standard for monitoring coal, gas, and oil fired burners. Engineered for a seamless fit, it mounts directly onto a 1/2 inch sighting pipe using its integral collar and includes a 1/2 inch NPT spud connector for secure electrical termination. The 96-inch lead length provides the necessary reach for complex wiring runs, while the 0 to 215°F ambient temperature rating ensures reliable performance in high-heat environments. For technicians facing difficult sighting applications, these units are designed to be wired in parallel, allowing for multiple viewing angles to confirm flame presence in large combustion chambers.

• Compact Design: Small footprint allows for "Minipeeper" blast tube mounting in tight burner configurations where larger scanners won't fit.
• High Pressure Protection: When installed correctly, the Honeywell C7027A1049 seals against pressures up to 5 psi (34.5 kPa).
• Versatile Application: Compatible with Honeywell Flame Safeguard primary safety controls and R7249, R7849, R7749, R7259, and R7290 amplifiers.
• Robust Detection: Specialized UV sensing tube ignores solar radiation and hot refractory surfaces, focusing solely on the UV radiation in flames.

Can I use a standard glass window with this detector?
No. If a window is required between the ultraviolet flame detector and the combustion chamber, it must be fabricated from quartz or fused silica. Standard glass filters out the UV radiation that the sensor needs to see.

How do I handle soot buildup on the lens?
It is best practice to install the sight pipe at a downward angle. In high-pollution environments, you may need to provide a small amount of "purge air" to the sight pipe to keep the Minipeeper UV sensor lens clear and cool.

What should I check if I get a false flame signal?
Ensure the detector is not pointing at an ignition spark. The Honeywell C7027A1049 is sensitive to the UV emitted by sparks, which can lead to a flame-on signal before the actual burner has ignited.
