2 Using the Honeywell 7800 Series
Relay Modules
2.1 Safety Function
The 7800 Series provides automatic burner flame sequencing
and flame supervision with protection against loss of flame.
2.2 Fail Safe State
The Safety Shutdown (Lockout) mode is the failsafe state for
the Honey well 780 0 Series Relay Modules where all safety
critical terminals (main and pilot valves, and ignition transformer) are de-energized and a manual reset is required to
return to normal operation.
2.3 Safety Response Time
The Honeywell 780 0 Series Relay Modules (all models except of EC7823 and RM7823) will respond to loss of flame
by means of shutting of f all safety outputs and transitioning
to the Safety Shutdown (Lockout) state within the published
Flame Failure Response Time (FFRT) for the selected Flame
Amplifier and Flame Sensor.
EC7823 and RM7823 will respond to loss of flame by means
of shutting off the safet y outputs and transitioning to the
Idle state within the published Flame Failure Response Time
(FFRT) for the selected Flame Amplifier and Flame Sensor.
Safety Shutdown (Lockout) state is not entered and manual
reset action is not needed in this case.
2.6 Model Selection and Specification of
Honeywell 7800 Series Relay Modules
The Honeywell 780 0 Series Relay Modules and optional components for certified SIL applications shall only be selected
and specified for applications consistent with the guidelines
presented in the Installation Instructions document and additional technical literature released for the specific model
available at web site https: //customer.honeywell.com and
further restricted to the certified Flame Amplifiers and Flame
Detectors identified in section 1 of this Safety Manual.
2.4 Diagnostic Response Time
The Honeywell 780 0 Series Relay Modules will report a detectable internal failure within 3 seconds for faults to the main
7800 Relay Module and within 15 seconds for faults to the
Flame Detector / Flame Amplifier.
2.5 Maximum Achievable SIL
The 7800 Relay Modules, Flame Amplifiers and Flame De-
tectors covered by this safety manual are suitable for use in
both high and low demand mode of operation Safety Integrity
Functions (SIF) up to SIL 3 in simplex (1oo1) configurations.
The achieved SIL for a particular SIF needs to be verified by
PFH or PFDavg calculation for the entire SIF including the
failure rates of the associated sensors and actuators that are
also part of the SIF.
Use of the Honeywell 7800 Series Relay Modules in a redundant (1ooN) configurations is not supported.
The 7800 Series Burner Controller System is classified as a
1
Type B
fault tolerance of 0.
1 Type B element: “Complex” element (using micro controllers or
element according to IEC 61508, having a hardware
programmable logic); for details see 7.4.4.1. 3 of IEC 61508-2, ed,

SELECTABLE CONFIGURATION JUMPERS
2.7 Installation
The Honeywell 780 0 Series Relay Module sub-base must be
installed, wired and the “Final Wiring Check” and “Static
Checkout” procedures successfully completed according
to the guidelines published in the Installation Instructions
document for the specific model available at web site
https://customer.honeywell.com. The Static Checkout procedure must be successfully per formed prior to installation of
the relay module on the sub-base.
For RM7823 and EC7823 models, in SIL 3 applications, both
sets of COMN.O. outputs (terminals 8, 9 and 13, 15) must
be wired in series, i.e. terminal 9 must be tied to terminal 13.
The N.C. outputs (terminals 10 and 14) can’t be used in SIL 3
applications.

2.8 Required configuration settings
The following user settable options need to be properly configured for the individual application in order to provide the
designed safety integrity for that application. Jumpers JR1
through JR3 site-configurable jumpers come factor y installed
for one configuration and must be selectively clipped out to
select the actual desired configurations as documented on
the warning label adjacent to the jumper positions as shown
in Figure 1 below. Note that the actual jumper configuration
setting may differ by product model number.

Fig. 2. Site-configurable jumpers
Note that the cut jumper condition is the safest setting so that
failure to cut a jumper during installation can result in a configuration that does not meet the requirements for the particular application.
In addition, many models require the use of a factory preset Purge Timer Card configures the 7800 Module for the
required purge time (between 2 seconds and 30 minutes).
These cards are preset to a par ticular purge time at the factory
and must be ordered according to the needs of the particular
application.
2.9 Reliability data
A detailed Failure Mode, Effects, and Diagnostics Analysis
(FMEDA) report is available from Honeywell Thermal Solutions with all failure rates and failure modes for use in SIL verification.
Note that the failure rates of the associated sensors and actuators need to be accounted for in the SIF level PFH / PFDavg
calculation.
3 32-00231-01
RM/EC 7800 Burner Controller Safety Manual
2.10 Lifetime limits
The expected lifetime of the Honeywell 7800 Series Relay
Modules is approximately 10 years. The reliability data listed
in the FMEDA report is only valid for this period. The failure
rates of the Honey well 7800 Series Relay Modules may increase sometime after this period. Reliability calculations
based on the data listed in the FMEDA repor t for lifetimes beyond 10 years may yield results that are too optimistic, i.e. the
calculated Safety Integrity Level may not be achieved.
2.11 Proof Testing
The objective of proof testing when used in low demand mode
of operation is to detect failures within Honeywell 7800 Series
Relay Module and its associated sensors and actuators that
may not be detected by the normal self-diagnostics. Of main
concern are undetected failures that prevent the safety instrumented function from performing its intended function.
The frequency of the proof tests (or the proof test interval ) is
to be determined in the reliability calculations for the safety
instrumented functions for which the Honeywell 7800 Series
Relay Modules is applied. The actual proof tests must be performed at least as frequently as specified in the calculation in
order to maintain required safety integrity of the safety instrumented function.
The following tools may be needed to be available to perform
proof testing
• Voltmeter (1M Ohm minimum input impedance) set on
the 0300 Vac scale.
• Two jumper wires; no. 14 wire, insulated, 12 inches
(304.8 mm) long with insulated alligator clips at both
ends.
The person(s) performing the proof test of the Honey well
7800 Series Relay Modules should be a trained, experienced,
flame safeguard service technician, trained in Honeywell
7800 Series Relay Modules maintenance and company man-
agement of change procedures.
The following tests need to be specifically executed when a
proof test is performed. The results of the proof test need to
be documented and this documentation should be part of a
plant safety management system. Failures that are detected
should be reported to Honey well Thermal Solutions.
7. Remove any remaining bypasses and restore normal operation.
8. Press reset and verify return to normal operation..
When all the tests listed above are executed a proof test coverage of 36% can be claimed.
2.11.2 Test (7823 models only)
Functional test:
1. Remove the 7823 Module from the wiring sub-base
2. Perform the “Static Checkout” procedure documented in
the Installation Instructions and verify proper response to
all test conditions
3. Reinstall the 7823 Module to the wiring sub-base.
4. While in “Run” sequence interrupt the flame signal by
either manually blocking the fuel supply or blocking the
sensor input from “seeing” the flame and verify unit goes
to Standby state and all safety critical terminals become
de-energized.
5. Restore fuel supply or visibility of flame sensor to the flame
and verify return to the normal operation.
When all the tests listed above are executed a proof test coverage of 13% can be claimed.
2.12 Repair and replacement
In the unlikely event that the Honeywell 7800 Series Relay
Modules has a failure, the failures that are detected should be
reported to Honeywell Thermal Solutions.
When replacing the Honeywell 7800 Series Relay Modules
power should be removed and the procedure in the installation manual should be followed.
The person(s) performing the repair and / or replacement of
the Honey well 780 0 Series Relay Modules should be a trained,
experienced, flame safeguard service technician.
2.13 Firmware update
In case firmware updates are required they will only be performed at factory where proper replacement procedures are
in place. The user is not permitted to perform any firmware
updates.
2.11.1 Test (except 7823 models)
Functional test:
1. Remove the 7800 Module from the wiring sub-base
2. Perform the “Static Checkout” procedure documented in
the Installation Instructions and verify proper response to
all test conditions
3. Reinstall the 7800 Module to the wiring sub-base.
4. While in “Run” sequence interrupt the flame signal by
either manually blocking the fuel supply or blocking the
sensor input from “seeing” the flame and verify unit goes
to Safety Shutdown (Lockout) state.
5. Restore fuel supply or visibility of flame sensor to the
flame.
6. Power cycle the unit and verify unit returns to Safety Shutdown (Lockout) state upon reapplication of power.
