Flame Monitoring Features
The Honeywell RM7897A1002 accepts either UV or rectification flame sensors. Two dedicated flame amplifiers process signals from both sensor types. Therefore, you can use this controller with various burner configurations. The flame response time adjusts from 0.8 to 4 seconds. Consequently, you can optimize the controller for different fuel types and combustion chamber sizes.
Timing and Control Functions
This burner control includes adjustable pre-ignition and post-ignition timers. The pre-ignition timer ranges from 5 to 30 seconds for purge cycles. The post-ignition timer spans 5 to 15 seconds for flame stabilization. Hence, the Honeywell RM7897A1002 accommodates a wide variety of burner systems. Six relay outputs control the ignition transformer, fuel valves, and alarm circuits.
Safety and Energy Storage
The Honeywell RM7897A1002 includes a 470µF capacitor for short-term ride-through. This capacitor provides 100 milliseconds of hold-up time during power dips. Additionally, a lithium battery retains safety parameters for up to 5 years. Thus, the controller remembers its configuration even after extended power outages. The battery also maintains the real-time clock for event logging.
Installation and Wiring
You can mount the Honeywell RM7897A1002 on a standard DIN rail. Alternatively, secure it with M4 screws through its four mounting tabs. The unit uses 14-pin and 8-pin terminal blocks for all field connections. Use shielded cables for flame sensor wiring to prevent false signals. The Honeywell RM7897A1002 works seamlessly with the RMS-TSG-TZ-C static trip unit.
Environmental Durability
This burner control operates reliably from -20°C to +60°C. It also withstands 90% relative humidity without condensation. The unit survives vibration up to 1g from 10 to 150 Hz. Therefore, the Honeywell RM7897A1002 suits boiler rooms and industrial heating applications perfectly.
