Common questions on this part
It detects visible yellow light (400 to 700 nm) produced by oil combustion.
Compatible with Siemens LMO14, LMO24, LME11, LME21, and LAE1 control boxes.
Its internal electrical resistance drops dramatically when exposed to flame light, allowing current to flow to the control box.
Soot on the lens increases resistance, making the control box "think" there is no flame, resulting in safety lockout.
Wipe the glass tip gently with a clean, dry lint-free cloth. Do not use harsh chemical solvents.
No, FC13 is designed for yellow oil flames. For blue gas flames or UV detection, use Siemens QRA2 or QRB4.
It comes pre-wired with 500 mm heat-resistant lead wires.
Manufactured by Siemens Building Technologies in Germany.
Yes, STARNEX maintains constant counter stock of FC13 photocells at our Nairobi branch.
If used with a Siemens control box, yes. Check wiring compatibility before installing.
