Overview
The Honeywell C7061A1079 is a self-checking ultraviolet (UV) flame detector. It monitors flame presence in gas, oil, or combination-fired burners. This model uses a solid-state UV sensing tube to detect combustion radiation. Its oscillating shutter periodically blocks UV signals to test sensor function. You can rely on it for continuous flame monitoring in critical safety applications. With robust design and IP66/NEMA 4 protection, it suits harsh environments.
