Installation

CAUTION

Ultraviolet sensing tubes have a life expectancy
of 40,000 hours of continuous use within the
ambient temperature and voltage ratings. Worn
out ultraviolet sensing tubes result in failure of the
sensing tube to properly discriminate between
flame conditions.

Systems using the RA890G with the C7027,

C7035 and C7044 Flame Detectors should only be
used on burners that cycle On and Off at least once
every 24 hours. Appliances with burners that re-
main on for 24 hours continuously or longer should
use the C7012E Flame Detector with the R7247C
Amplifier or the C7076A Flame Detector with the
R7476A Amplifier as the ultraviolet flame detec-
tion system.

WHEN INSTALLING THIS PRODUCT…

1. Read these instructions carefully. Failure to follow

them could damage the product or cause a hazardous
condition.

2. Check the ratings given in the instructions and on the

product to make sure the product is suitable for your
application.

3. Installer must be a trained, experienced flame safequard

control technician.

4. After installation is complete, check out product op-

eration as provided in these instructions.

CAUTION

1. Disconnect power supply before beginning in-

stallation to prevent electrical shock and equip-
ment damage. All wiring must comply with ap-
plicable local electrical codes, ordinances, and
regulations.

2. Limits must be rated to carry and break current to

the ignition transformer, pilot valve (or first stage
oil valve), and main fuel valve(s) simultaneously.

3. All external timers must be Listed or Component

Recognized by authorities that have jurisdiction
for the specific purposes for which they are used.

Follow the burner manufacturer instructions when sup-

plied; otherwise, proceed as follows.

LOCATION
Temperature

Install the RA890G where the surrounding temperatures

remain within the ambient Operating Temperature Ratings
listed in the SPECIFICATIONS section.

Humidity

Install the RA890G where the relative humidity never

reaches the saturation point. Condensation of moisture on
the RA890G may cause enough leakage to short the flame
signal to ground and prevent the burner from starting.

Vibration

Do not install the RA890G where it could be subject to

excessive vibration. Vibration shortens the life of the elec-
tronic components.

Weather

The RA890G is not designed to be weathertight. If it is

installed outdoors, use a suitable weathertight enclosure.

MOUNT SUBBASE

Locate subbase where ambient temperature is within the

specified rating.

Mount the subbase so that the top and bottom are hori-

zontal and the back is vertical. The subbase may lean
backward as much as 45 degrees if necessary. See Fig. 1.
