Honeywell EG1033AC01

Product Introduction The EG1033AC01 is a flame detection amplifier module manufactured by Honeywell for burner management systems. It receives flame sensor signal from UV or infrared flame detectors, amplifies and processes the signal to confirm flame presence. It sends flame on / flame off status to burner safety controller for ignition safety interlock and flame failure trip protection.

Structural Characteristics

  • Standard DIN rail vertical modular housing.
  • Front panel fitted with LED indicators for flame signal and fault.
  • Upper terminals for AC power supply and flame sensor input wiring.

Working Principle UV flame detector captures ultraviolet radiation emitted by flame and generates weak electrical signal. The EG1033AC01 amplifies this low-level signal and filters noise. The internal comparator evaluates signal amplitude against preset threshold. When flame signal exceeds threshold, the module activates flame-present relay output. If flame signal drops below threshold for preset time, the module de-energizes relay to send flame failure trip signal to burner safety controller. Built-in self-test circuit checks amplifier circuit integrity continuously.

Installation Requirements

  • Install on DIN rail inside burner control cabinet.
  • Use shielded twisted pair cable for flame detector sensor wiring.
  • Keep sensor cable routed away from high-current ignition cables.
  • Apply correct AC supply voltage matching module rating.
  • Adjust flame sensitivity during burner commissioning.
  • Perform flame simulation test to verify flame failure trip function.
  • Complete cabinet protective earth connection.

Usage Notes

  • Do not run flame sensor cable alongside high voltage ignition wiring.
  • Keep cabinet free of dust and oil contamination.
  • Perform periodic flame test and self-test as part of BMS safety procedure.
  • Replace UV detector tube when signal strength drops significantly.
  • Do not modify internal amplifier circuit.
  • Disconnect power supply before removing module.
  • Verify relay contact integrity during routine maintenance.
