Resideo 130367 Plug-In Cad Cell Assembly

The Resideo 130367 Plug-In Cad Cell is an important safety feature for oil-fired burners. It's a tiny, lightweight replacement part made exclusively for Resideo oil-fired burner systems. This plug-in cad cell serves as a safety device, constantly monitoring the flame within the burner. It essentially functions as an electronic eye. Cad represents Cadmium Sulfide, a light-sensitive substance that produces an electrical current when exposed to light. In normal functioning, the flame in the burner produces light, which the cad cell senses. If the flame diminishes or burns out entirely, the amount of light that reaches the cell reduces substantially. This reduction in light causes a decrease in the electrical current generated by the cad cell. The burner's control unit wired to the cad cell and constantly monitors this electrical current. 1When the current falls 1below a certain level, the control unit interprets this as a sign of flame loss and shuts down the burner to prevent potential hazards like overheating or explosions. In essence, the Resideo 130367 Plug-In Cad Cell ensures the safe and efficient operation of oil-fired burners by continuously monitoring flame presence.
