Flame sensors
LD/LDS
Description Danfoss LD/LDS sensors are used to detect
the flame in yellow flame oil burners. They are
designed for use with Danfoss units of the OBC
80 and BHO 70 series.
LD/LDS sensors meet the requirements of the
EN298:2012 standard, as well as those of the
RoHS and WEEE Directives.
Function The LD/LDS sensors are based on the photo
transistor principle in connection with an
amplifier and convert light from the flame into
a current. The flame’s characteristics and the
location of the sensor influence the size of the
photo current created in LD/LDS. For this reason,
LD/LDS is available in two sensitivity levels.
If a strong enough signal is not produced with
Electrical connection The LD/LDS sensors connect to Danfoss units of
the OBC 80 and BHO 70 series as shown in the
diagram.
the selected sensor, select a sensor with a higher
sensitivity level. If the flame cannot be detected
at the highest level of sensitivity, use the Danfoss
UV sensor.
To determine the signal’s quality, use the gauge
set-up below.
For no flame/darkness, the value must be ≤ 5 μA;
for flame/light the value must be ≥65 μA.
Please note that the blue wire must be
connected to terminal 11, and may not be
connected to the common 0 terminal (2) or
the appertaining auxiliary terminal in the base
section.

Installation The LD/LDS sensors can be installed using a
flange and clamping ring; alternatively, use a
rubber sleeve (delivered mounted on LD/LDS).

The sensors are available in two standard
lengths, with a longer piece featuring built-in
extension tubes.
