The flame detectors are designed for use with our burner controls, for the super-
vision of gas and oil flames.

The QRA... and this Data Sheet are intended for use by OEMs which integrate the
flame detectors in their products.

Use

The flame detectors are used for the supervision of gas flames, yellow- or blue-burning
oil flames and for ignition spark proving.

Warning notes

To avoid injury to persons, damage to property or the environment, the following

warning notes should be observed!

• Before performing any wiring changes in the connection area of the detector, com-
pletely isolate the equipment from the mains supply (all-polar disconnection)
• Ensure protection against electric shock hazard by providing adequate protection
for the terminals
• Check to ensure that wiring is in an orderly state
• Halogen lamps, welding equipment, special lamps or ignition sparks may produce
sufficient radiation for the detector’s UV cell to ignite. X-rays and gamma radiation
can also generate erroneous flame signals
• Fall or shock can adversely affect the safety functions. Such units may not be put
into operation, even if they do not exhibit any damage

Mounting notes

• Ensure that the relevant national safety regulations are complied with
• Mounting work must be carried out by qualified staff

Installation notes

• Installation work must be carried out by qualified staff

• Always run the high voltage ignition cables separate while observing the greatest
possible distance to the detector and to other cables

Electrical connection of the flame detector

It is important to achieve practically disturbance- and loss-free signal transmission:

• Never run the detector cable together with other cables
– Line capacitance reduces the magnitude of the flame signal
– Use a separate cable
• Observe the permissible lengths of the detector cable (refer to «Technical data»)

Commissioning notes

• Commissioning work must be carried out by qualified staff

• Prior to commissioning, ensure that wiring is in an orderly state
• Trouble-free burner operation is ensured only when the intensity of UV radiation at
the detector’s location is high enough for the detector’s UV cell to ignite during
each half wave. The intensity of UV radiation at the detector’s location is checked
through measurement of the detector current

Service notes
• Maintenance work must be carried out by qualified staff
• Each time a unit has been replaced, check to ensure that wiring is in an orderly
state
• Use the KF8832 service unit for only short periods of time

Disposal notes
The flame detector contains electrical and electronic components and may not be dis-
posed of together with household waste.
Local and currently valid legislation must be observed.

Mechanical design
Flame detectors Plastic housing, metalized to prevent static charging caused by the air flow from the
QRA2... fan. For direct mounting on the burner. The detectors can be supplied with or without
securing flange and clamp (refer to «Type summary»).

Flame detectors Die-cast aluminium housing with a 1 in. mounting coupling (D) and a connection facility
QRA10... for cooling air. The housing of this detector has a bayonet fitting which allows it to be
secured either directly to the mounting coupling or to the glass holder AGG06. The
mounting coupling can be screwed to a viewing tube or to the ball head AGG07. The
Pg cable gland can be removed and replaced, if some other detector cable shall be
used.

Flame detectors The detector’s UV cell is located behind a swiveling shutter at the front end of the de-
QRA5... tector tube which is flanged to the housing. A quartz glass window protects the tube
and the shutter against dirt. The detector’s housing accommodates a stepper motor to
drive the shutter and the electronics to control the shutter. Using the adapter AGG16.C,
this flame detector can be mounted either directly on the burner, on a viewing tube or
on a combustion chamber viewing hole.

Glass and quartz glass The glass and quartz glass lens holder AGG06 serves for holding the lens AGG03 and
lens holder AGG06 the heat insulation glass AGG02.
The lens is used to increase the sensitivity, and the heat insulation glass provides pro-
tection against high temperatures, thus extending the life of the UV cell.
The AGG06 also allows various combinations of lens, heat insulation glass and 1 in.
mounting coupling.
When using the lens and the heat insulation glass, the AGG06 with the lens must be
mounted as close as possible to the flame detector.

AGG06 has a bayonet fitting with which it is attached either to the housing of adapter
AGG16.C or to the housing of flame detector QRA10... and the mounting coupling.
By undoing the bayonet fittings on both sides, the AGG06 glass holder(s) can be easily
detached from the combination of QRA10... or AGG16.C and QRA53..., QRA55....
This facilitates straightforward cleaning of the glass or lens without having to remove
them from the glass holder AGG06.
The intermediate rings are used for the smooth running of the bayonet fittings, espe-
cially where – after removal of the flame detector – the hole to the combustion cham-
ber serves as a viewing tube.
By fitting the intermediate ring to the appropriate bayonet connection, the combination
can be undone where required by rotating the housing of the QRA10... or AGG16.C

AGG02 ing choices as with the AGG03.
This heat insulation glass is required on applications where the temperature at the

Mounting coupling (D) Using the bayonet fitting, the 1 in. mounting coupling can be attached either to the
AGG06, the AGG16.C or the flame detector QRA10....

Function

With this type of flame supervision, the UV radiation emitted by gas or oil flames is
used to generate the flame signal.
The radiation detector consists of a UV-sensitive cell with 2 electrodes, which ignite
when illuminated with radiation in the 190...270 nm range of the spectrum, thereby
triggering a current in the flame detector circuit.
The UV cell does not respond to glowing firebrick in the combustion chamber, daylight
or light from the boiler room illumination.
