Selenium Photocell RAR...

Detectors
The selenium photocell detectors are designed for use with burner controls, for
the supervision of oil flames.
They are used especially in connection with burner controls for the control and
supervision of large-capacity burners.
The RAR... and this Data Sheet are intended for use by OEMs which integrate the
flame detectors in their products!
Use
The RAR... flame detectors are used for the supervision of yellow-burning oil flames.
They are designed for use with the following types of burner controls: LAL..., LAE1...,
LOK16... and LAE10...

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

warning notes should be observed!
Do not open, interfere with or modify the flame detector!
· 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 connection terminals
· Check to ensure that wiring is in an orderly state and that the wires are firmly con-
nected
· Fall or shock can adversely affect the safety functions. Such flame detectors or
burner controls may not be put into operation, even if they do not exhibit any dam-
age
Mounting notes
· Ensure that the relevant national safety regulations are complied with
· The flame detector plugs into the burner (the detector’s clamp engages on the
burner’s light metal flange)
Installation notes
· Installation work must be carried out by qualified staff

· Always run the high-voltage ignition cables separate from the unit and other cables
while observing the greatest possible distances
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 detector cable lengths (refer to «Type summary»)
Commissioning notes
· Commissioning work must be carried out by qualified staff

· The intensity of light radiation on site is checked by measuring 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 and that the wires are firmly connected
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.

Function
With this type of flame supervision, the radiation of oil flames in the visible band of the
light spectrum is used for generating the flame signal.
The light-sensitive element is a selenium photocell. When illuminated, it generates DC
voltage, causing a current to flow to the input of the flame signal amplifier. Hence, the
RAR... is an active detector.
The selenium photocell is insensitive to infrared radiation so that glowing firebrick in the
combustion chamber cannot produce a flame signal.
