Has the
amplification
characteristic
already been reduced
?
"Increase" the amplification
characteristic by one step
Yes
No
Yes
No

?
Check the viewing position/
alignment of the flame
monitor and re-adjust if
necessary.
End
The rotary switch has no rotation end stop, and
so can be rotated in any direction indefinitely
Turn the intensity switch
clockwise by one switching
position

To work out the switching threshold, always use the statuses of flame OFF with
maximum background radiation (e.g. the burner being monitored is switched off; all
other burners are switched on) and flame ON with minimum flame signal (e.g. the
burner being monitored is switched on; all other burners are switched off)
