7.1 Commissioning
7.1.1 General remarks
Check the compact flame detector for correct positioning on the burner. Before switch-
ing on the supply voltage, check the connections on the basis of the pin configuration as
specified herein. Refer to section 12.
The switches of the compact flame detector as delivered are set according to section
10, unless otherwise agreed. The potentiometer for start-up suppression is set to 50 %.
“Flame out" state
After switching on the auxiliary energy, the flame detector is ready for operation after
approximately 5 s. The following display has to be shown:
- Display "Flame out" LED “red“ lights up
- Sensitivity range I or II LED “yellow“ lights depending on
external pre-selection f. range I or II
(for F 200 K2 only)
“Flame in" state
To check the monitoring parameters, install the compact flame detector in the speci-
fied mounting place before starting the operation of the furnace. If the flame burns
naturally, the display should change as follows:
LED „red“ goes out
LED „green“ lights up, changing its radiation intensity antivalently to
the cycle rhythm of the self-monitoring system
Intensity indicator (lighting point) should reach 100%
7.1.2 Preparative measures
Checking the flame detector function
The flame detector can be checked for proper functioning without any burning flame.
1. Carry out the complete electrical installation of the flame detector and connect it to
the supply voltage.
A LAMTEC test emitter of the FFP 02 type (IR + UV) can be used as an auxiliary
means for flame simulation.
2. Simulation of a flame radiation in front of the flame detector's viewing port. This
can be done using a lighter or any other type of a modulated-light source (don't
use the mains frequency) having a sufficiently high intensity. For example, you
can modulate in a sufficient way the light of a lamp by moving your fingers splayed
out in front of the light source and the flame detector. However, start-up suppres-
sion requires a stable signal to do this. If necessary and if the signal is not suffi-
cient, the
Serv. switch (section 9) should be set to OFF in order to make the re-
action to the simulated flame signal visible.
The flame detector has to switch on its output contacts if the flame signal is simulated
for a sufficient period of time. This is shown by the extinction of the red LED and the
pulsating light of the green LED. The 6-level intensity indicator lights up.
