Description
The Brahma FC13/R photocell, SKU 18209020, is a flame sensor designed for precise control of gas burner valves. It detects the presence of flame by sensing visible or ultraviolet light emitted during combustion, making it suitable for luminous flames. This model features high heat resistance, durable insulation, and stable design. The cable length is 620 mm, which should be verified against the existing installation. It is listed under article number 246.901.013.

Choosing and fitting
When selecting a replacement photocell of this kind, key parameters include the spectral range (visible, UV, or IR), response time, cable length and connector type, and the mounting sleeve required. The cable length must be verified to ensure it reaches the burner control without strain. Always match the original part's characteristics and consult the burner manual for compatibility.
Signs of failure
Typical failure modes for photocells of this kind include a contaminated or fogged optical window, an aged cell that no longer generates a strong enough signal, or a broken sheath or cable. When a photocell fails, the burner may fail to detect flame presence, leading to safety shutdowns or intermittent operation. Check the optical window for cleanliness and the cable for damage.
