Brazil INMETRO Taiwan hazardous hazardous area mark area mark These certifications are based on the use of approved interconnecting cables only. Currently available approved interconnecting cables are BHGE Reuter-Stokes RS-E2-0285PXXX and GE 362A1053PXXX. See Section 1.1.2 for details.

Certifications are based on the use of approved cables only. Currently available approved cables are BHGE Reuter- Stokes RS-E2-0279 and GE AE 07482SOCNL44820. Do not attempt to disassemble the sensor. Sensors are not repairable. Breaching the seal of the sensor will cause loss of the inert fill gas and render the sensor unusable.
Geiger Mueller tube based flame detectors is absorbed by the fog of fuel, steam or water. GE’s research center invented a silicon carbide (SiC) photodiode that is significantly more sensitive to the longer wavelength components of the UV light generated by the flame. This longer wavelength light does penetrate the fog of oil quite well and therefore the SiC based sensor is significantly more sensitive to the presence of flame.
Air cooling with pressurized air requires the use of Air Cooling Can BHGE Reuter-Stokes Part Number RS- E2-0259 (GE Part Number 07482SOCNL44821P01). The Air-Cooing Can is installed as shown in the following drawing. The Air-Cooling Can requires 25 psi (170 kPa) minimum at 120° F (49° C) maximum. Under these conditions the sensors will operate at ambient temperatures up to 302°...

FS-9006OM – REV K 1. Ensure that the cooling coil is not attached to the flame sensor during installation or removal of the sensor. The cooling coil can apply an unwanted torque and cause disassembly and malfunction of the flame sensor. 2.
FS-9006OM – REV K 3.2 ELECTRICAL The sensors are connected to the turbine junction box with a connector cable as specified in Section 1.1. All wiring must be in grounded conduit or armored. The green wire must be connected to earth ground at the junction box.
The Flame Sensor provides a minimum output of 5 milliamps when exposed to the minimum flame intensity specified in GE specification number 362A1052. The set point for flame off should be set to 6.25%, which is equal to 5 milliamps. The set point for flame on should be 10% of full scale, which equals 5.6 milliamps. If the intensity levels are too low for these settings there may be other problems.
FS-9006OM – REV K MAINTENANCE 4.1 WARNING Do not disconnect connector while circuit is energized (or live), unless area is known to be non-hazardous. 4.2 CAUTION The operating temperature range of the Flame Sensor is -40°C to 150°C. Do not attempt to work on the Flame Sensor or the cable until they have cooled to a safe handling temperature.
