Honeywell C7061A1053 UV Flame Detector – Dynamic Self-Check, 120V, 96" Leads, NEMA 4

Honeywell C7061A1053 UV Flame Detector – Dynamic Self-Check, 120V, 96" Leads, NEMA 4

Replaces: C7061A1012 (requires compatible R7861 Dynamic Amplifier)

The Honeywell C7061A1053 is a rugged, dynamic self-checking ultraviolet flame detector designed for continuous flame monitoring in automatically fired burners using gas, oil, or combination fuels. Known as the “Purple Peeper,” this model features a shuttered UV sensing tube for self-checking capability and is housed in a NEMA 4 rated enclosure, suitable for demanding environments.

This model comes with 96-inch color-coded lead wires, 1-inch NPT mounting flange, and operates on 120Vac. It replaces the C7061A1012, but requires an R7861 dynamic self-check amplifier for full functionality.
