Description
- Dynamic Self-Checking Mechanism: Built-in oscillating shutter continuously interrupts the UV beam several times per minute to verify sensor health, ensuring fail-safe, continuous-duty operation for burners running 24 hours a day or longer.
- High-Sensitivity UV Detection: Features a specialized ultraviolet sensing tube that rapidly detects UV radiation emitted by gas, oil, or dual-fuel combustion flames while discriminating against ambient light and hot furnace refractory surfaces.
- Rugged Weatherproof Construction: Enclosed in a heavy-duty NEMA 4 / IP66 die-cast aluminum housing designed to withstand harsh outdoor weather, severe industrial vibration, and ambient temperatures ranging from -40°F to +175°F (-40°C to +79°C).
- Amplifier & Controller Compatibility: Specifically engineered for seamless integration with Honeywell R7861 self-check flame signal amplifiers and 7800 Series microprocessor-based burner controls.
- Industrial Mounting & Sighting: Equipped with a 1-inch NPT female mounting connection for secure attachment to burner sight pipes and direct line-of-sight alignment with the primary flame root.
- Fast Flame-Out Response: Delivers rapid signal feedback (typically 1.0 to 3.0 seconds) to immediately initiate automatic fuel safety shutoff in the event of an unexpected flame failure.

Description
The Honeywell C7061A1053 Purple Peeper Dynamic Self-Checking UV Flame Detector is an industrial-grade, continuous-duty combustion safeguard designed for commercial and industrial burners firing gas, oil, or multi-fuel combinations. Equipped with an ultra-sensitive ultraviolet sensing tube and an internal oscillating shutter, the C7061A1053 simulates a flame failure cycle multiple times per minute to test detector integrity while the burner remains firing. Housed in a heavy-duty NEMA 4 die-cast aluminum enclosure, this optical flame scanner pairs directly with Honeywell R7861 self-check amplifiers and 7800 Series burner control units, providing reliable flame supervision and rapid safety shutoff protection in 24/7 continuous process heating and power applications.
Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the Honeywell C7061A1053 "Purple Peeper" suitable for continuous-duty applications?
Unlike standard intermittent flame sensors, the C7061A1053 includes an internal dynamic shutter mechanism that cycles closed and open multiple times per minute. This tests the UV sensing tube for internal faults—such as runaway tube conduction without interrupting the burner, making it safe for processes operating continuously for more than 24 hours.
Which flame amplifiers are compatible with the Honeywell C7061A1053?
The C7061A1053 is designed specifically to operate with Honeywell R7861 dynamic self-check flame signal amplifiers, which plug into RM7800, EC7800, and 7800 Series burner control platforms.
Can the C7061A1053 detect both gas and oil combustion flames?
Yes, the ultraviolet sensor detects the narrow UV radiation spectrum emitted by natural gas, LP gas, oil, coal, and combination dual-fuel flames.
How is the C7061A1053 flame detector mounted to the burner?
It mounts directly onto a 1-inch NPT threaded sight pipe aimed at the intersection of the burner pilot and main flame root, ensuring an unobstructed view of the primary combustion zone.
