Honeywell C554A1463 flame sensor

Honeywell C554A1463 flame sensor is designed for use with R8404, R8182, R8185, R8184, R8404, R4166, and R4184 controllers to ensure burner safety. It responds to radiation emitted during liquid fuel combustion and utilizes cadmium sulfide as its sensing element.

Technical data:

• Faster radiation response compared to bimetallic sensors
• Hermetically sealed sensing element for durability
• Cadmium sulfide sensor embedded within the detector housing, reducing wear from soot, oil vapors, and moisture
• Replaceable plug-in cell for easy maintenance
• Photoelement designed as a ceramic disk coated with cadmium sulfide and a conductive mesh
• Electrodes mounted on the disk transmit the burner control signal
• High resistance to current flow; exposure to flame reduces resistance
• No flame detection leads to zero conductivity, triggering burner shutdown

Honeywell C554A1463 flame sensor provides reliable flame detection and is widely used in burner control systems for enhanced safety.
