Maintenance
7.1 Notes on safety for the maintenance
The periodic maintenance is essential for the good operation,
safety, yield and duration of the burner.
It allows you to reduce consumption and polluting emissions and
to keep the product in a reliable state over time.
Before carrying out any maintenance, cleaning or checking oper-
ations:
7.2 Maintenance programme
7.2.1 Maintenance frequency
7.2.2 Checking and cleaning
Combustion
Carry out an analysis of the combustion discharge gases.
Significant differences with respect to the previous check indicate
the points where more care should be exercised during mainte-
nance.
Combustion head
Open the burner and make sure that all components of the
combustion head are in good condition, not deformed by the
high temperatures, free of impurities from the surroundings
and correctly positioned.
Burner
Check that there are not excess wear or loosen screws.
Clean the outside of the burner.
Fan
Check to make sure that no dust has accumulated inside the fan
or on its blades, as this condition will cause a reduction in the air
flow rate and provoke polluting combustion.
Boiler
Clean the boiler as indicated in its accompanying instructions in
order to maintain all the original combustion characteristics in-
tact, especially the flue gas temperature and combustion cham-
ber pressure.
Flame presence check
The burner is fitted with an ionisation system to check that a
flame is present. The minimum current for control box operation
is 6 µA (Fig. 30).
The burner provides a much higher current, so controls are not
normally required.
However, if it is necessary to measure the ionisation current, dis-
connect the plug-socket on the ionisation probe cable and insert
a direct current microammeter with a base scale of 100 µA.
Carefully check the polarities!
Gas leaks
Make sure that there are no gas leaks on the pipes between the
gas meter and the burner.
Gas filter
Replace the gas filter when it is dirty.
7 Maintenance
The maintenance interventions and the calibration
of the burner must only be carried out by qualified,
authorised personnel, in accordance with the con-
tents of this manual and in compliance with the
standards and regulations of current laws.
Disconnect the electrical supply from the burner
by means of the main system switch.
Close the fuel interception tap.
Wait for the components in contact with heat
sources to cool down completely.
The gas combustion system should be checked at
least once a year by a representative of the man-
ufacturer or another specialised technician.
The operator must use the required equipment
during maintenance.
