The Honeywell RM7838B is a microprocessor based
integrated burner control for industrial process semi-
automatically fired gas, oil, coal or combination of fuels
for single burner applications. The RM7838B consists
of a Relay Module, Subbase, Amplifier, Keyboard Dis-
play Module and Purge Card. Options include Personal
Computer Interface, DATA CONTROLBUS MOD-
ULE™, Remote Display Mounting, First-Out Expanded
Annunciator and software COMBUSTION SYSTEM
MANAGER
®
.
The RM7838B is programmed to provide a level of
safety, functional capability and features beyond the
capacity of conventional process control combustion
systems.
Functions provided by the RM7838B include auto-
matic modulated high fire and low fire proven purge,
burner pilot start up with pilot valve hold, a special
pilot valve hold from the Run condition, flame supervi-
sion, system status indication, system or self-diagnos-
tics and troubleshooting.
