Project planning information
6.11 Fault signalling
The fault signalling contact opens, as soon as the mains 
voltage fails.
6.12 
Protecting the pilot burner from overload
To protect the unit against overload by too frequent cy-
cling of the pilot burner, the number of start-ups within 
one minute is limited for the BCU. Excessive cycling of 
the pilot burner triggers a fault message (blinking 
 53
). The max. number of start-ups per minute depends on 
the safety time t
SA1
 and the ignition transformer used.
