Warning notes

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

warning notes must be observed!

 All activities (mounting, installation and service work, etc.) must be performed by
qualified staff
 Before carrying out any work on the flame detector, isolate the power supply
completely (all-polar disconnection). Check the power supply with a suitable
voltage test and secure the power supply against being switched on again
unintentionally.
If not observed, there is a risk of electric shock hazard.
 Ensure protection against electric shock hazard by providing adequate protection
for the terminals. If this is not observed, there is a risk of electric shock
 Each time work has been carried out (mounting, installation, service work, etc.),
check to ensure that wiring is in an orderly state. If this is not observed, there is a
risk of electric shock
 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. If this is not observed, there is a risk
of loss of safety functions
 Fall or shock can adversely affect the safety functions. Such units must not be put
into operation, even if they do not exhibit any damage. If this is not observed,
there is a risk of loss of safety functions and a risk of electric shock

Mounting notes

 Ensure that the relevant national safety regulations are complied with
 Tightening torque for QRA2 housing screws: Max. 0.3 Nm

Installation notes

Always run the detector cable separate from other cables, especially from high-voltage
ignition cables, while observing the greatest possible distance.

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» in
the Data Sheet for the relevant burner control)

Commissioning notes

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

Mechanical design

Flame detectors QRA2 Plastic housing metalized to prevent static charging caused by the air flow from the fan.
For mounting direct on the burner. The detectors can be supplied with or without
securing flange (version 4 241 8855 0/4 241 8898 0) and clamp (refer to «Type
summary»).

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

Flame detectors QRA5, The detector’s UV cell is located behind a swiveling shutter at the front end of the
QRA7 detector 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. QRA5 series E and G differ
with regard to the closing interval of the orifice. Using the AGG16.C adapter, this flame
detectors can be mounted either directly on the burner, on a viewing tube or on a
combustion chamber viewing hole.

Mounting coupling D Using the bayonet fitting, the mounting coupling D can be attached either to the
AGG06, the AGG16.C or the QRA10 flame detector. The mounting coupling D is
supplied with the QRA10 or AGG16.C.

Quartz-glass lens AGG03 with spring washer and O-ring for increasing the sensitivity.
AGG03

Heat insulation glass AGG02 with spring washer and O-ring. This heat insulation glass is required on
AGG02 applications where the temperature at the flame detector exceeds 80 °C. The AGG02
extends the life cycle of the UV cell.

Glass and quartz-glass The glass and quartz-glass lens holder AGG06 serves for holding the AGG03 lens and
lens holder AGG06 the AGG02 heat insulation glass. The AGG06 also allows various combinations of lens,
heat insulation glass and mounting coupling D. 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
Correct Wrong

AGG06 has a bayonet fitting with which it is attached either to the housing of the
AGG16.C or to the housing of the QRA10 and the 1 mounting coupling D. 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 or QRA55. This facilitates
straightforward cleaning of the glass or lens without having to remove them from the
AGG06 glass holder. The intermediate rings are used for the smooth running of the
bayonet fittings, especially where – after removal of the flame detector – the hole to the
combustion chamber 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

 Note!
AGG02 or AGG03 can also be fitted in the mounting coupling D of the AGG16.C or
the 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 boiler room illumination.
