3. Configuración e instalación
Installation of the Riello FD01 Photoelectric Cell involves working with electrical and fuel systems. For safety and proper function, installation and replacement procedures must be performed by a qualified and certified technician. Incorrect installation can lead to equipment damage, fire, or personal injury.
3.1 Replacement Procedure (General Guidelines)
- Seguridad ante todo: Ensure the burner and heating system are completely powered off and disconnected from the main electricity supply. Close any fuel supply valves.
- Acceso: Carefully open the burner housing to access the existing photoelectric cell.
- Desconexión: Disconnect the wiring from the old photoelectric cell and carefully remove it from its mounting. Note the orientation and connection points.
- Instalación: Insert the new Riello FD01 Photoelectric Cell into the designated slot, ensuring it is securely seated. Connect the wiring according to the burner's electrical diagram.
- Reassembly & Testing: Close the burner housing. Restore power and fuel supply. Perform a functional test of the burner to ensure the new cell is operating correctly and detecting the flame.

3.2 Specific Replacement Note for 3007492
If the existing photo resistance with part number 3007492 is found to be defective, it is recommended that the entire control unit be replaced. In such cases, the conversion kit 20146982 (which includes the MO550 BWG control unit and the FD01 photo resistance) is advised for a complete and compatible solution.
4. Instrucciones de funcionamiento
The Riello FD01 Photoelectric Cell operates automatically as part of the burner's control system. It continuously monitors the flame during burner operation. There are no direct user operating controls for this component. Its function is entirely passive, providing feedback to the burner's control unit.
5. Mantenimiento
The Riello FD01 Photoelectric Cell generally requires minimal maintenance. However, as part of routine burner servicing, a qualified technician should inspect the cell for any signs of damage or excessive soot accumulation on its sensing surface. A clean sensing surface is crucial for accurate flame detection.
- Inspección anual: Include the photoelectric cell in the annual inspection and maintenance schedule for your oil burner.
- Limpieza: If accessible and deemed necessary by a technician, the sensing element may be gently cleaned to remove any dust or soot that could obstruct flame detection.
- Reemplazo: Replace the cell if it shows signs of wear, damage, or if it is identified as the cause of burner malfunction during troubleshooting.

6. Solución de problemas
If your oil burner is experiencing issues related to flame detection or failure to ignite, the photoelectric cell may be a contributing factor. Always consult a qualified technician for diagnosis and repair.
6.1 Problemas comunes y soluciones
- Burner Fails to Ignite: This could indicate a faulty photoelectric cell not detecting a flame, or a dirty cell obstructing the sensor.
- Burner Locks Out: If the burner attempts to ignite but then locks out, the photoelectric cell might not be registering a stable flame.
- Specific Issue: Defective Photo Resistance 3007492: As noted in the product description, if the photo resistance with part number 3007492 is defective, it is recommended to replace the entire control unit. The conversion kit 20146982 (MO550 BWG + FD01 photo resistance) is suggested for this scenario. This indicates a deeper issue than just the cell itself, requiring a system-level replacement.
Importante: Do not attempt to repair the photoelectric cell or control unit yourself. Contact a professional heating technician for all diagnostic and repair work.
