7. Disconnect power supply before making wiring connec-

tions to prevent electrical shock and equipment damage.

8. All wiring must comply with appropriate electrical codes,

ordinances and regulations including NEC Class 1 (Line

Voltage) wiring where required.

9. Use recommended wire size and type no. 18 copper

conductors TTW(60C) or THW (75C) or THNN(90C).

10. Use recommended wire routing:

a. Keep the flame signal leadwire as short as possible

from the detector to the 7800 SERIES and R7140

Relay Module. The maximum permissible leadwire

length depends on the type of leadwire, conduit type

and leadwire diameter. The ultimate limiting factor for

flame signal leadwire length is the flame signal volt-

age.

b. Do not run high voltage ignition transformer wires in

the same conduit with the flame detection wiring.

c. If the flame detector leadwires are not long enough

to reach the 7800 SERIES and R7140 Relay Module

electrical connectors, make splices in a junction box.

(1) Enclose scanner wiring without armor cable in

metal cable or conduit.

(2) Follow flame detector Instructions.

11. Check wiring, see Fig. 3.

12. Install 7800 SERIES and R7140 Relay Module.

13. Restore power to the 7800 SERIES and R7140 Relay

Module.

Flame detector wiring is shown in Fig. 3.

CHECKOUT

Preliminary Inspection

Make certain that:

1. Wiring connections are correct and all terminal screws

and electrical connections are tight.

2. Proper flame failure response time is selected.

3. Amplifier is securely mounted on the 7800 SERIES and

R7140 Relay Module.

4. Detectors are properly positioned and cleaned according

to Detector Instructions.

5. Correct combination of amplifier and flame detector is

used.

Flame Signal Measurement (Fig. 4)

Flame signal can be measured at the Flame Signal Test Jacks,

see Fig. 4, and at the Keyboard Display Module. Measure the

flame signal at the appropriate times defined in the Checkout

section; see applicable 7800 SERIES and R7140 Relay

Module Instructions. See Table 3 for acceptable and maximum

flame signal voltage strengths.

CAUTION

Equipment Damage Hazard.

Improper wiring can destroy ultraviolet sensing

tube.

Carefully follow polarity sensitive wiring instructions for

the C7027, C7035, C7044, C7012, C7024, C7061,

C7961 and C7076. Reversing the leadwires, even

momentarily, can destroy the ultraviolet sensing tube.

Fig. 4. Flame signal measurement with meter.

1. Connect blue leadwire from detector to terminal F and

white leadwire from C7027/C7035/C7044/C7061 to ter-

minal G.

2. Connect blue leadwire from detector to terminal F and

yellow leadwire from C7012/C7024/C7961 to terminal G.

3. Follow lightoff Instructions for applicable 7800 SERIES

and R7140 Relay Module.

Measuring Flame Signal With
Keyboard Display Module

Consult Instructions for applicable 7800 SERIES and R7140

Relay Module or Keyboard Display Module.

Measuring Flame Signal with a Volt
Ohmmeter

Two test jacks, positive and negative (Com) are accessible on

the top of the amplifier when plugged into the 7800 SERIES

and R7140 Relay Module. These jacks are provided for

monitoring flame signal strength. Use a one megohm/volt

meter to measure the flame signal strength. Connect the

positive meter lead (red) to the positive (+) amplifier test jack

and the negative meter lead (black) to the negative (-) amplifier

test jack. The test jacks use standard 0.180 inch diameter

voltmeter probes. A minimum 1.25 Vdc flame signal is

required.

NOTE: The probes need to tip toward the relay module in

order to make electrical contact.
