The RM7888A Flame Relay has been a successful joint development project between North American, a primary leader in combustion solutions, and Honeywell, a global leader in electronic technology. This synergistic effort has led to product features that include Flame Scanner choices, direct spark or pilot ignition offering relight capabilities, control motor operation, and PLC interconnection--all in one simple to operate unit.

 

Other features include an adjustable purge timer, plug and play components, and fused outputs. Its NEMA 4X enclosure with a transparent window assists in monitoring burner status LED's and the optional keyboard display module.
