This document provides installation and maintenance instructions for the Bentone B 30 A2.2H oil burner, designed to provide sustainable energy solutions. It covers general information, technical specifications, electrical equipment, installation procedures, pump details, service guidelines, and fault location.
Function Description
The Bentone B 30 A2.2H is an oil burner intended for operation in installations according to EN 303 and EN 267. When used with a hot air boiler, it requires the LMO24.255 or LMO44.255 control unit. The burner is designed to provide sustainable energy solutions by efficiently burning fuel oil.
The core of the burner's operation involves a safety system that ensures safe startup and continuous operation. This system includes safety switches for hatches, doors, water level, pressure, and temperature, all installed in accordance with current regulations. The wiring diagram illustrates the electrical connections, including the oil burner control (A1), flame detector (B1), fuse (F1), various lamps (H1, H2, H3), motor (M1), operating switches (S1, S2), control thermostats (S3, S6), temperature limiter (S4), micro switch for hinged door (S5), main switch (S7), ignition transformer (T1), and solenoid valves (Y1, Y2, Y2H).
The LMO14/24 control unit manages the burner's sequence of operations. Upon activation of the operating switch and twin thermostat, a spark is generated, the air damper motor opens to the low load position, and the burner motor starts. A prepurge period follows, after which solenoid valve 1 opens. Oil mist is formed and ignited, detected by the photocell, which then extinguishes the ignition spark. The control unit monitors for flame establishment within a safety time limit; failure to do so results in a lockout. If the flame disappears during operation, the burner attempts to restart. The burner can operate at full or low load, controlled by the high/low thermostat. In case of a lockout, a red lamp on the control unit illuminates, and pressing the reset button restarts the burner. Fault codes, indicated by flashes of the reset button's red light, provide diagnostic information for issues such as no flame signal, false light during start, losses of flame, preheater time-out, or wiring faults.
The oil distribution system is crucial for reliable operation. The SUNTEC A2L oil pump, a key component, features two nozzle outlets and two independent blocking solenoid valves, with a single regulator for both nozzle lines. It draws oil from the tank through a built-in filter, pressurizes it, and delivers it to the nozzle lines via the cut-off solenoid valves. In two-pipe operation, a by-pass plug ensures bypassed oil returns to the tank, and bleeding is automatic. In one-pipe operation, the by-pass plug is removed, and the return is plugged, with bypassed oil returning directly to the gear inlet. The solenoid valves are "normally closed" and ensure fast, independent switching for precise control of oil flow to the nozzles.

Usage Features
The burner is designed for ease of installation and adjustment, though all work must be performed by authorized personnel. Basic settings are provided to facilitate initial startup and flame establishment, but fine-tuning is required to adapt to the specific installation and fuel type. This includes adjusting air settings for low and high load positions, which can be read on the damper scale. The nozzle table assists in selecting appropriate nozzles based on desired output and pump pressure.
The control unit's color codes and fault codes offer clear indicators for operational status and troubleshooting. Solid yellow indicates preheater in operation, flashing yellow for ignition, solid green for normal operation, and flashing green for poor flame signal. Red lights indicate faults, with specific flash sequences corresponding to different issues, such as no flame signal, false light, flame losses, or preheater time-out.
The oil pump's design allows for both one-pipe and two-pipe oil distribution systems, providing flexibility depending on the installation requirements. Bleeding in two-pipe operation is automatic, simplifying maintenance.
