About This Scanner
The model 5600-92SC (#21349) scanner features a highly
reliable solid-state detector for monitoring gas or oil flames
when used with Eclipse flame controls. The detector is
sensitive to a broad range of flame radiation from
ultraviolet to infrared making it ideally suited for use on
combination gas-oil burners. The scanner responds to the
flickering radiation of the flame and discriminates against
constant background light. This device will not produce a
flame signal if any internal components fail, therefore it can
be used on burner systems that continuously operate
longer than twenty-four hours. It is protected against
reverse connection and comes with a shielded cable lead.
The scanner is UL listed, CSA certified and FM approved.
This scanner operates with Veri-Flame controllers with
model numbers VF560xx7xx.

2.0 Sensor Installation
Warning
Incorrect sensor installation may cause the sensor to generate a false flame signal. This can cause
unburned fuel to collect in the combustion chamber, resulting in explosions, injuries, and property damage.
w
Be certain that the flame sensor detects only the pilot and/or main flame of the intended burner by testing
the control system under varying operating conditions and firing rates. Follow the test procedures given in
this manual and the equipment provider's instructions after installation and at regularly scheduled
maintenance intervals.
Sensor Wiring
Route sensor wiring a sufficient distance from ignition and other high voltage wiring to avoid electrical interference.
Some areas may have high levels of electromagnetic fields or ground currents that require the use of special cables,
isolation and grounding methods. Figure 1 illustrates the sensor wired to an Eclipse Veri-Flame. The white wire
supplies power and carries the flame signal (S1), the black wire connects to circuit common (S2), and the shield is
connected to the housing. Internal scanner circuits create low impedance (10 ohm) from the shield to the black wire
circuit common.
