C7012A,C,E,F,G Solid State

Purple Peeper® 

Ultraviolet Flame Detectors

APPLICATION

The C7012A,C,E,F,G Flame Detectors are solid-state 

electronic devices for sensing the ultraviolet radiation emitted 

during combustion of most carbon-containing fuels such as 

natural gas, LP gas, and oil.

FEATURES

All models
• Solid-state electronic circuitry provides low power 

consumption and high reliability.

• Solid-state models directly replace previous models 

with vacuum electron tube circuitry.

• Detectors can be mounted horizontally, vertically or 

at any angle. The self-checking C7012E,F models 

require faceplate alignment and have integral locating 

reference points to assure proper shutter mechanism 

operation.

• Ultraviolet radiation sensing tube and quartz viewing 

window are field replaceable.

• Threaded conduit fitting and color-coded leadwires 

allow rapid electrical installation.

• Two flame detectors can be wired in parallel to 

reduce nuisance shutdowns in difficult flame 

sighting applications.

• A swivel mount is available to facilitate flame sighting.
• Models are available with a -40°F (-40°C) rating.
C7012A,C,G
• Designed for use with Honeywell Flame Safeguard 

Controls using Honeywell Rectification (R7247A, 

R7289A, R7847A1082) and Ampli-Check™ 

Rectification (R7247B, R7847B1072) Flame Signal 

Amplifiers.

• C7012G models available to meet BGC (British) and 

DIN (German) requirements.

C7012E,F
• Incorporate UV sensor tube checking feature; used 

with Honeywell Dynamic Self-Check (R7247C, R7847C) 

Flame Signal Amplifiers.
