4. After checkout, return the system to normal configuration. Section 4 Removal / Installation The UV-4 flame detector is designed for front-mounted, direct-view, or fiber-optic sighting of the burner flame. Initial installation of a new flame detector normally is accomplished with the furnace cold and depressurized.
Section 5 Operation The Forney UV-4 detector normally is sighted on the primary combustion zone of a burner, and light from the burner flame passes through a sight tube or a fiber-optic light guide to an opening in the base assembly housing.
