Description
Honeywell C7061A1046 UV Flame Detector – Self-Check, 115/230V, Brad Harrison Connector
Replaces Obsolete Model: C7061A1038 – Requires Updated Amplifier
Dynamic Self-Checking Ultraviolet Flame Detector for Gas & Oil Burners
The Honeywell C7061A1046 is a rugged, dynamic self-checking UV flame detector designed for reliable flame supervision in commercial and industrial burner systems. It features an oscillating shutter for internal checking of the ultraviolet sensor and is fully compatible with Honeywell 7800 Series burner controls when paired with an R7861 Dynamic Self-Check Amplifier.
Equipped with a Brad Harrison® 41310 connector, a NEMA 4-rated housing, and a 1" NPT mounting flange, this detector offers fast installation and dependable flame monitoring for gas, oil, or multi-fuel burners.
Note: This model replaces the obsolete C7061A1038. If upgrading from the C7061A1038, you must also replace the amplifier with a compatible R7861 Dynamic Self-Check Amplifier.
