2.1  Brief description  
 
The LMV5... is a microprocessor-based burner management system with matching sys-
tem components for the control and supervision of forced draft burners of medium to 
large capacity. 
 
The following components are integrated in the basic unit of the LMV5...: 
•  Burner control with gas valve proving system 
•  Electronic fuel / air ratio control system for a maximum of 4 actuators 
•  Optional PID temperature / pressure controller (load controller) 
•  VSD module  
 
The system components (AZL5... display and operating unit, actuators, O2 module, 
etc.) are interconnected via a bus system. Communication between the individual CAN 
bus users’ takes place via a reliable, system-based data bus. 
The safety concept makes use of 2 microprocessors for 2-channel signal processing. 
It offers a very high level of safety and reliability for monitoring the software and the pro-
gram and control sequences. 
All safety-related digital outputs of the system are permanently monitored via a contact 
feedback network. 
For flame supervision in connection with the LMV5..., universal infrared flame detectors 
type QRI... or ionization probes can be used for continuous operation, and photoresistive 
flame detectors type QRB... for intermittent operation.
