WARNING: Do Not Open When Energized WARNING: glasses to prevent eye injury caused by airborne particles in cooling/seal-air supply or wind box. CAUTION: The detector head contains sensitive electrical components. Ensure that all the I/O cable. CAUTION: Disconnect the cable from the detector by hand, but do NOT twist the connector barrel.
Cable support brackets are not used with supplemental cooling chambers or CEX versions. equipment from Forney Corporation. Note: The location and sighting instructions listed in the following sections are general guidelines for the location...
INSTALLATION PROCEDURE WARNING: 1. The best results are obtained when the detector is aimed so that the detector’s line of sight intersects the burner center at a slight angle (e.g. 5 degrees) and sees a maximum of the primary combustion zone, as shown in Figure 3.
Figure 3 Detector Location VS. Secondary air rotation close to the periphery of the throat where the ultraviolet radiation is at a maximum. (See Figures 3 and 4) Having determined an appropriate location for the sight tube, cut a clearance hole for a 2 inch pipe through the burner plate.
Note: If freezing temperatures are expected at the detector head, Forney recommends heat tracing the detector sight tube. Contact Forney for additional details.

SECTION 3 COMMISSIONING Before commissioning, complete all of the installation instructions. INITIAL CHECKOUT 1. Verify the operation of the detector head as follows: a) Remove mounted IDD detector head. b) Connect it to the four-conductor cable. c) Place a light source 1 to 4 feet from the surface of the detector. Use a Tungsten light source for IR detector heads and a UV light source for the IDD-Ultra.
SECTION 4 OPERATION decreases, it causes a change in resistance of the cell substrate. This resistance change in turn creates IMPORTANT: sighting may cause detector failure due to a weak or non-existent signal. burner and the sighting of the primary combustion zone.

SECTION 5 TROUBLESHOOTING If the detector head malfunctions, ensure that the procedures described in the commissioning section have been performed successfully. Refer to Table 1 for Troubleshooting information. TABLE 1: IDD Detector Head Troubleshooting Symptom Probable Cause Remedy Supply voltage to head not Verify +50 vdc and +12 to +14.5 present.
The IDD detector head is a non-repairable device and requires no maintenance other than periodically cleaning the cell surface. The appropriate cleaning schedule is determined by the quality and cleanliness of the cooling-/seal-air source. Forney recommends the use of a non-oily cleaning solution and a soft lint-free cloth for lens cleaning.
