Siemens Photocell Detector RAR Series
Siemens Photocell Detector RAR Series
Siemens RAR Series photocell flame detectors are designed for monitoring yellow-burning oil flames in industrial burner applications. They are particularly suitable for large-capacity oil burners and industrial boiler systems.
The detectors use a silicon photocell to sense visible light radiation emitted by an oil flame. When illuminated, the photocell generates a DC voltage and produces a current signal that is transmitted to the flame signal amplifier of the associated burner control.
Key Features
- Designed for yellow-burning oil flame supervision
- Detects radiation in the visible light spectrum
- Silicon photocell sensing element
- Insensitive to infrared radiation from glowing refractory materials
- Maximum detector cable length of 100 meters, subject to burner control specifications
- Dust-proof duroplast housing
- Available with or without mounting clamp and flange
Available Models
- RAR9: Without clamp and flange
- RAR9(1): With clamp and curved flange
- RAR9(2): With clamp and straight flange
Applications
Suitable for yellow oil flame monitoring in industrial oil burners, large-capacity burner installations, industrial boilers, and process heating systems.
Compatible Burner Controls
Designed for use with Siemens burner controls including LAL, LAE1, LAE10, LOK16, and LFS1.1. Compatibility with specific models must be verified before installation.
Safety Notice: Installation, commissioning, and maintenance must be performed by qualified personnel in accordance with applicable safety regulations.
