• Series / Equipment Family: LV8000
• Part Type: 0.4 A Current Interface
• Functional Application: Interface hardware associated with Reuter-Stokes flame-sensing equipment
• Physical Dimensions: Exact OEM dimensions are not reliably established from available technical records; measure the actual unit before cabinet-layout or export-packing approval.
• Estimated Shipping Weight: Approximately 0.2–0.5 kg for a protected interface module; actual packed weight should control freight documents.
• What’s in the Box: 029.381539/00 interface unit, ESD/static protection where applicable, protective packing, and QC/inspection documentation. Mating cables, flame sensor, mounting hardware, and LV8000 system accessories are not assumed unless specifically ordered.

Product Introduction

In a combustion monitoring installation, the current interface is part of the signal chain between a flame-sensing device and the associated monitoring/control electronics. GE 029.381539/00 is identified in industrial records as an LV8000 0.4 A Current Interface, and other GE-associated catalogs place the part within the Reuter-Stokes flame-sensor product family.

This is therefore not a generic PLC analog-input card. Treat the exact 029.381539/00 identifier as the controlling procurement identity (especially where an LV8000 installation has multiple sensor/interface variants). Public records provide only limited electrical and mechanical data beyond the 0.4 A designation, so unverified dimensions, connector pinouts, supply requirements, and environmental limits should not be copied into an engineering drawing.

Core Technical Specifications

A historical import record describes 029.381539 as “CURRENT INTERFACE 0.4A” and records Germany as the origin for that shipment; that record is useful for identification, but it is not a substitute for OEM technical documentation or a certificate of origin for a particular unit.

Identification caution

The part number has also appeared in generic GE product indexes under flame sensors, which is reasonable at the family level but can be misleading if the item is being entered into a warehouse as the sensing element itself. The 029.381539/00 designation is better treated as the current-interface component, not automatically as a complete flame detector or sensor assembly.

🚨 Global Compliance & Industry Certifications

For a combustion-monitoring interface, certification should be evaluated against the complete /Reuter-Stokes installation, especially when the equipment is located near a burner, turbine, furnace, or classified process area.

• CE Mark: Verify against the applicable product documentation and production revision.
• UL/cUL: Confirm the complete equipment assembly and installation conditions rather than assuming approval for the interface alone.
• ATEX / IECEx: Do not assume hazardous-area certification for the 029.381539/00 standalone interface. Any claim must be supported by the exact certified assembly and installation arrangement.
• Marine / DNV GL: No standalone marine approval should be assumed without project-specific documentation.
• Electrical Rating: The recorded 0.4 A designation identifies an electrical characteristic; it is not itself evidence of hazardous-area certification.
• Country of Origin: Establish from actual manufacturing/traceability records.
• HS Classification: A current-interface electronic assembly may fall under different customs headings depending on jurisdiction and product interpretation. Confirm the final classification with the importer or customs broker.

For plant safety, the certification boundary matters because flame-monitoring hardware can sit directly within systems where incorrect equipment selection could affect ignition supervision or burner-management functions.

Verify specific lot certifications with OEM.

🚨 Long-Term Storage & Asset Preservation Guide

Keep the 029.381539/00 in an ESD shielding bag until installation. Protect the connector or terminal interface from dust and oxidation; flame-monitoring equipment often remains installed for long periods, so a poor spare connection can be mistaken for a sensor problem.

Use a dry warehouse with no condensation and, where practical, maintain relative humidity below approximately 60% RH for extended storage. Avoid corrosive atmospheres, particularly around combustion- or chemical-process spare inventories.

Inspect the interface enclosure, connectors, soldered components where visible, and identification label before issue. Record the complete 029.381539/00 part number rather than truncating the /00 revision designation.

Do not apply an assumed voltage to a long-stored unit for “quick testing.” The exact circuit configuration is not sufficiently documented in public records to justify an unverified bench-supply procedure.

Physical Installation Prerequisites

Install the 029.381539/00 only in its original /Reuter-Stokes equipment arrangement and use the original electrical drawing to establish connector assignment, supply, and signal routing.

Do not substitute a generic 0.4 A current interface because the numeric current rating matches. Flame-monitoring systems often depend on sensor-specific excitation, impedance, and signal-conditioning characteristics.

Preserve the original grounding and shield arrangement. Keep sensor cables away from high-energy ignition, motor, or variable-frequency-drive wiring where the cabinet design permits; noise on a flame-signal circuit can lead to unstable readings.

Maintain the cabinet’s original ventilation and service clearance. There is not enough reliable documentation to impose a universal 50 mm clearance requirement on this specific assembly, so the installation drawing should control.

Do not remove or install the interface while energized unless the OEM procedure explicitly permits that action.

Buyer’s FAQ — Logistics & Compliance Focus

Q: What HS Tariff Code should I use for 029.381539/00?
A: Treat it as a specialized industrial current-interface component rather than assuming a universal tariff heading. The final Harmonized System classification depends on the importing country’s customs rules and the exact article description, so the importer or customs broker should confirm the code.

Q: Can the 2014 import record prove the Country of Origin for my current unit?
A: No. A historical trade record identified one shipment as originating in Germany, but COO for your actual unit should come from manufacturing or traceability documentation supplied with that unit or lot.

Q: Does 029.381539/00 come with the latest firmware pre-loaded?
A: No standalone application firmware should be assumed. Available records identify it as an 0.4 A current interface, not as a programmable controller. The correct electrical interface and system compatibility should be verified against the installed Reuter-Stokes/ configuration.

Q: How should I insure and pack this part for international shipment?
A: Insure the shipment for the documented commercial replacement value and photograph the complete part number and connector condition before dispatch. Use ESD protection, rigid connector protection, moisture-resistant packing, and internal cushioning so the interface cannot shift or suffer impact damage during transportation.
