C554A  
Cadmium Sulfide Flame Detector  
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS  
APPLICATION  
CAUTION  
Disconnect power supply before beginning  
installation to prevent electrical shock or equipment  
damage.  
The C554A Cadmium Sulfide Flame Detector (cad cell) is  
a photo conductive flame detector (see Fig. 1) used with  
oil primary controls such as R4166, R4184, R8182,  
R8184, R8185, R8404 and R8991. It consists of a plug-in,  
light sensitive cell and a socket with Type E mounting  
bracket, factory-installed leadwire and an oil line adapter  
bracket. Leadwire length is 60 in. (1520 mm). The detector  
is installed inside the air tube of the burner where the cell  
can view the flame and is wired to the F-F terminals of the  
oil primary control.  
Location  
The burner manufacturer determines the cad cell location  
(see Fig. 2). If an alternate location must be used, make  
sure that:  
³
·
»
The cell has a clear view of the flame.  
Ambient light does not reach the cell.  
Ambient temperature at the cell location is below  
140°F (60°C).  
Movement, shielding, or radiation of metal surfaces  
near the cell do not affect cell function.  
The photocell is a ceramic disk coated with cadmium  
sulfide and overlaid with a conductive grid. Electrodes  
attached to the ceramic disk transmit an electrical signal to  
the primary control. In darkness, cadmium sulfide has a  
very high resistance to the passage of electrical current. In  
visible light, its resistance is very low and current is  
allowed to pass. The entire cell is hermetically sealed  
(glass to metal) to prevent cell deterioration.

CHECKOUT  
To check cad cell operation, use the following procedure:  
OIL LINE  
TO  
NOZZLE  
³
Disconnect cad cell leadwires; then start burner.  
Shortly after burner starts, place a temporary jumper  
between terminals F-F. Connect an ohmmeter  
across cad cell leadwires; resistance should be less  
than 1600 ohms.

Stop burner and remove temporary jumper.  
With burner off, check dark cell resistance across  
cad cell leadwires. Resistance should be greater  
than 20,000 ohms.

NOTE: If cell resistances are different than  
specified, recheck wiring and location of  
cell. If necessary, replace plug-in portion of

C554A on oil line.  
Wiring  
¿
Reconnect cad cell leadwires. Check the  
Protectorelay(burner sequencing relay) control  
according to the instructions packed with the control.  
Disconnect power supply before beginning wiring to  
prevent electrical shock or equipment damage.  
All wiring must comply with local electrical codes and  
ordinances. See Fig. 6 for a typical C554A hookup to the  
oil burner primary control.  
SERVICE AND REPLACEMENT  
Under normal operating conditions, the C554A does not  
require cleaning. If a badly adjusted burner causes heavy  
accumulation of dirt and soot on the cell surface, carefully  
wipe the cell surface to restore full view of the oil flame.
