Your Hurst boiler has been designed, constructed and certified to meet the requirements of the
American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Code for boilers.
HURST maintains its own quality control personnel with all the necessary equipment and
instrumentation to verify constructions standards equal to or greater than those required by the
ASME.
All units are first inspected by HURST personnel and then by a “third party” inspector who is a
member of the National Board of Boiler and Pressure Vessel Inspectors to verify compliance
with all Code requirements. Then, he witnesses the hydrostatic pressure test performed on the
pressure vessel and authorizes the stamping of the proper ASME symbol on the vessel.
A manufacturer’s Data Report is then completed and the unit is registered with the National
Board. A copy of the Data Report is available from HURST or from the National Board.
After completion of the pressure vessel and the addition of certain other features of the unit, a
burner and associated fuel train are added to the package. The burner may have the UL or
cUL Label, and may have the Factory Mutual (FM), GE Gap (IRI) or other agency
identifications.
Many state and local authorities have laws/codes governing the installation or operation of
boilers and pressure vessels. You should verify with those local authorities regarding
compliance with their requirements.

BOILER IDENTIFICATION
PRESSURE VESSEL:
Each boiler is stamped with a Serial Number and a National Board Number. These numbers
can be found on the identification plate that is attached to the front door of the boiler and they
are stamped on the boiler shell near the front tubesheet on the right hand side of the boiler.
Besides simply identifying this unit, the Serial Number and National Board number identify the
characteristics of this boiler for Maximum Allowable Working Pressure (MAWP) and
temperature, if applicable and the Fireside Heating Surface available.
Both of these numbers are unique to this particular boiler, so when inquiring about your unit
regarding warranty, service or parts, having these numbers available for reference will speed
the service we can provide.
BURNER:
If supplied by HURST, the burner on your unit will also have a recorded Serial Number that is
unique to this unit. Should you need to make an inquiry regarding this burner for service or
parts, it is helpful to HURST for you to provide this serial number. Other burner plate
information will include maximum BTU throughput and the UL registration number for that
burner.
INSTALLATION
The installation of your boiler should have been planned long before you take delivery of the
unit. Drawings and specifications are often prepared by individuals familiar with steam or hot
water systems.
This document assumes that the installation has been planned out and documented. Here, we
only suggest some approaches to issues that might need a little additional detail.
General:
The boiler should be placed on a flat, level concrete slab or on housekeeping pads that run the
full length of the base rails.
If the boiler is not in a building, be sure that all the controls, the control panel and the burner –
at a minimum – are designed for outdoor operation.
If the unit is inside a building, the space allowed on either side, at the front and at the back of
the unit must be adequate to maintain the required maintenance and operation of the boiler.
Minimum dimensions for these clearances are set by UL and perhaps by other local codes. Be
sure to determine whether your unit meets these ordinances before you place the unit. Most
codes require a minimum of 7 feet clear of obstruction above the manway for access on high
pressure boilers and 5 feet clear on low pressure boilers. These obstructions include piping,
catwalks or building structure. Your local codes may be even more conservative.

Building openings:
We suggest one opening large enough for the boiler to pass. Additionally, one man door and
adequate openings for admission of combustion air (see Combustion Air Requirements in this
manual) are absolutely necessary. Other openings may be supplied as the owner sees fit. Be
sure to check with local authorities for building code requirements.
Lighting:
Adequate lighting is a must for proper operation and maintenance. Be sure to include enough
lighting in the boiler room so that the operator can read nameplates and instructions on the
equipment without the use of supplemental lighting.
Power:
The motor(s) and controllers that are part of your boiler system all depend on a constant
supply of electrical power. The interconnection of these devices is accomplished through the
pre-wired electrical control panel that has been furnished with your unit. Normally, the power
supply will only be required to be made to one point on the control panel. That power
requirement is specific to your unit and will be specified by HURST. It is the responsibility of
the customer to supply that power to the panel.
Steam boilers typically have a feedwater system supplied with electric motor driven pumps that
requires a separate power supply to the panel supplied with it.
Piping:
No piping should be at or near the floor level to cause tripping accidents. Floor drains and pipe
trenches are essential for maintaining an orderly, clean facility. Piping may be placed in drains
so you will not need separate trenches. These trenches should drain to a point outside the
boiler room or to a sump to be pumped out as required. All trenches should be covered with
adequate grating or floor plate.
Connections:
There are several connection points on the boiler that must be connected to other systems
within the scope of the installation. Some of these connections are common to both steam and
hot water systems. Others will be designated as “steam” or “hot water”.
1. Safety Valve: The safety valve(s) will be located on the top centerline of the boiler.
The outlet of the safety valve must be piped to a point of safe discharge, and it must
be the size of the valve outlet or larger. NEVER reduce the discharge line size.
2. Vent Stack: This is the large opening at the end of the boiler through which the
gases from the combustion process must be vented to some point outside of the
boiler room. When using factory manufactured stacks, we recommend the use of
stacks rated for pressurized systems. UL Listed double wall stack systems may be a
good choice. It must be gas-tight to eliminate the chances of leakage into the boiler
room. Check with local authorities for any requirement they may have for height
requirements above the roof.

3. Fuel: The fuel connection(s) will be for natural gas, manufactured gas, light oil or
“heavy” oil. The connection points are on the sides of the boiler or near the burner
(for oil). The gas piping must be approved by the local gas company and will be
inspected by their personnel. Oil piping must be appropriate for the application, and
insulated if firing oil that requires heating.
4. Supply: This is generally the largest opening on the boiler, and it will be on the top.
This is the opening through which steam or hot water is allowed to exit the boiler to
enter the external system. This must be piped as required by local jurisdictional
requirements and as good construction requirements demand. In multiple boiler
installations, some of this piping may need to be constructed and stamped according
to the ASME Code.
1. Feedwater: This is the opening on the side of the boiler through which water enters
to re-supply water lost through evaporation. This must be connected from the
feedwater supply system. The design requirements for pressure in this line must be
greater than the MAWP of the boiler.
2. Bottom Blowdown: This opening or openings are in the lowest part of the boiler at
the bottom centerline. There will be one or more bottom blowdown openings. See
Blowoff-Blowdown in this manual.
3. Water Column Blowdown: This refers to the piping directly below the water
column/gauge glass. This is the valve through which the unwanted contaminants will
be expelled from the Low Water Cutoff/Pump Control device. See Blowoff-Blowdown
in this manual.
4. Surface Blowoff: This opening is generally on the top centerline of the boiler and is
the opening through which surface contaminants will be expelled. See Blowoff-
Blowdown in this manual.
1. Return: This opening will be located on the top centerline of the boiler and will
generally be the same size as the Supply Nozzle. Water returns from the system
and re-enters the boiler at this point to be reheated.
2. Drain: The drain connection on a hot water boiler is similar to the bottom blowdown
opening on a steam boiler, and it will be located at the lowest part of the boiler at the
bottom centerline. This discharge should be piped to a point of safe release such as
a blowdown tank or pit.
3. Water column Blowdown: Some hot water boilers may have a blowdown connection
on the water column. This should be piped to a point of safe discharge.

COMBUSTION AIR
The burner on your boiler requires oxygen to support combustion of the fuel. This oxygen
supply comes from the air in the boiler room, so an adequate supply of “combustion air” is
essential for efficient operation of your boiler.
Allow 8 cubic ft per minute (cfm) of air for each rated boiler horsepower up to 1000 ft elevation,
and it is suggested to limit the velocity of the air movement in the boiler room to 250 ft per min
(fpm). Above 1000 ft elevation, add 3% additional volume for each additional 1000 ft.
Two (2) air supply openings should be supplied in the outer walls of the boiler room, preferable
on opposite ends or sides of the boiler. Fans are not required nor recommended, but simple
louvered openings are suggested. These openings may be covered with wire mesh, but the
mesh should have at least ½” openings.
Example:
250HP
Requires 250 x 8 = 2000 cfm
Then 2000 cfm/250fpm = 8 sq ft opening.
So, 2 openings of 4 sq ft each in opposite walls are required.
Even for the smallest boiler, the air supply opening should be at least 1 sq ft.
After the installation of your boiler has been completed, and before any operation is begun it is
highly advisable to clean the water side surfaces of the boiler and the piping system to which
the boiler is connected.
The piping system may contain oil, grease, welding slag, thread cuttings and other
contaminates that should not be left in the system piping. If left in the piping, it is only a matter
of time before it will find its way to the boiler. Slag and thread cuttings can block or damage
gaskets, valves and control devices.
A new boiler is likely to have oil, grease, or other protective coatings that were on the metal
parts during the manufacturing process. These contaminants must be removed prior to
beginning operation since any one of them may cause priming, foaming, inefficient heat
transfer or contamination of the process to which the steam is directed.
Most boiler chemical suppliers can supply the chemicals and the expertise to affect an
appropriate method for cleaning your boiler.
However, in the absence of such consultation, suggested procedures are outlined below.

Before beginning any internal cleaning procedure, you must determine the experience level of
anyone who will be assisting in the cleaning procedure and make suitable safety garments
available to each of them. It is preferable that all personnel be familiar with the procedure and
what the results could be if they are not careful with handling the chemicals involved.
As a minimum, the safety equipment should include face mask, goggles, rubber gloves, and
apron. Severe burns can result from improper handling of caustic chemicals.
PROCEDURE: Please read the entire procedure before beginning any part of the procedure.
Steam boilers:
1. Close all external valves, such as feedwater, steam supply, chemical feed, and
blowdown to avoid loss of chemical and to isolate the boiler internal parts.
2. Remove the safety valves.
3. Remove the manway cover, if so supplied and if it is in the uppermost part of the shell.
4. Fill boiler with fresh water to a level 2-3 inches above the top of the top row of tubes.
Just basic tap water is acceptable for this filling.
5. Determine how many gallons of water the boiler will contain when complete ly filled.
6. Mix Tri-sodium phosphate and caustic soda (Sodium Hydroxide) in the amount of one (1)
pound of each for each 100 gallons of water content in the boiler. Add the chemicals
slowly into a bucket or barrel with water as necessary to dissolve them. Stir constantly to
be sure that the chemicals are thoroughly dissolved.
7. Add the dissolved chemicals carefully through the largest opening available in the top of
the boiler.
8. Complete filling of the boiler to the top.
9. Begin firing the boiler at the lowest rate possible and intermittently, as necessary to get
the water temperature just above 200 degrees F. During this early firing, the water
volume will swell and tend to overflow the openings in the top, so operate the bottom
blowdown as necessary to maintain flooded condition in the vessel while minimizing
overflow.
10. Continue this low heat input for a minimum of 4 hours, and shut the burner off.
11. Allow boiler water to cool to a temperature of 120 degrees F or less, and drain to a point
of safe discharge.
12. Remove all handhole plates or other inspection openings and wash the interior
thoroughly with high pressure water. On large boilers, a fire hose is recommended.
13. If interior surfaces are not clean, you may repeat the above procedure.
14. If you determine the water side to be adequately clean, proceed to replace the safety
valves, re-close the handhole and manhole plates with new gaskets, and refill the boiler
with treated water from your feedwater system. (Additional information about treatment
of boiler water is in another section of this manual)
15. When filled to the normal level, the boiler should be checked for leaks and may be fired
normally. Allow the trapped air to escape the boiler during this initial filling.

Satisfactory operation of your boiler system depends on attention to details. The following
steps should be attended to at initial startup and after any period of shutdown.
1. Check the Feedwater tank (deaerator) to verify that water level is correct and that
feed valve that supplies water to the tank is open.
2. Pump suction valves are open
3. Power is available to the pump(s)
4. Main steam supply valve(s) is open
5. Safety valve(s) is correct for this boiler design for pressure and capacity
6. Boiler water is at correct level and Feedwater valve(s) is open
7. Verify low water cutoff operation by opening water column blowdown valve until
alarm sounds and feed pump starts
8. Verify that Auxiliary Low Water Cutoff is operational. (You may close feed valve
and open bottom blowdown for this check. Be sure to re-open feed valve after
you close blowdown valve.) Pump should start and bring water level in the boiler
back to normal operating level
9. Verify water treatment system(s) is operational and valves are open
10. All control cabinets should be clean –inside and out – with completely functional
doors that are closed
11. Equipment guards should be in place
12. Fuel valves should not be open at this time
1. Check that feed valve that supplies water to the system is open
2. Supply and return valves are open
3. Safety valve (s) is correct for this boiler design for pressure and capacity
4. System water is at correct level
5. Verify low water cutoff operation
6. Verify chemical treatment has been performed and is satisfactory
7. All control cabinets should be clean – inside and out – with completely functional
doors that are closed
8. Equipment guards should be in place
9. Fuel valves should not be open at this time

HURST assumes that everyone involved with the start-up or operation of this boiler has some
training or experience with similar equipment. If not, he/she should not be allowed to be
directly involved with the operation or maintenance of this unit. Training is available and should
be pursued.
Be sure to read PRE START-UP in this manual before attempting any start up.
When all points in the PRE START-UP have been completed, you may proceed to start the
unit.
Open the vent on top of the boiler to allow trapped air to escape as pressure is building in the
boiler. This may be accomplished by opening the vent valve – if supplied – or by removing the
plug from the top of the water column balancing line.
See the manufacturer’s manual for the particular burner on your boiler for instructions
regarding initial firing.
Set the firing rate controller to the lowest firing rate possible. This will allow the burner to begin
heating the water at a rate that will minimize stresses to the metal parts. It will also allow the
lower, colder, zones to warm at a rate more consistent with that of the higher, hotter, zones.
The firing rate should not be increased until after steam pressure is evident on the steam
pressure gauge.
Remember, there is some refractory in your boiler that has not been completely cured.
Therefore, the initial firing should be at a very low rate for a minimum of 2-3 hours to
completely drive out any free moisture that remains in the refractory.
When steam is detected at the vent valve, close the air vent.
Maintain this low fire rate as steam pressure begins to build after which the firing rate can be
increased and fuel/air ratios can be adjusted for optimum combustion at various rates per the
manufacturer’s instructions.
Subsequent firing, from cold, may require a cursory re-reading of the manufacturer’s
instructions. Unless changes have been made to linkages, valves, or other components,
further starts, after shutdowns should only require assuring yourself of the points found in PRE
START-UP.
Verifying combustion conditions should be made at time of start up and periodically thereafter
using a combustion gas analyzer. No other special tools are required.

FUEL INPUT
To know the rate of fuel consumption in your boiler is important for maintaining cost records
and to know when you are under firing or over firing your unit.
OIL FIRING:
To determine oil cons umption rate, you need to place an oil meter in your fuel train and simply
record meter readings at specific times. By doing this, you can calculate the oil consumed
within that period of time.
Example: Assume you are firing No. 2 oil (140,000 Btu per gallon)
If you are firing a 100 HP boiler, your firing rate is almost perfect.
GAS FIRING:
To determine gas consumption you must have access to a gas meter – which your gas
supplier probably has already installed in your gas line.
If the boiler is not the only load on the meter, you may have to further isolate that supply or
stop operating the other equipment while measuring boiler input.
You need to verify the gas pressure and temperature at the meter and determine the inlet gas
pressure and temperature that was used to calibrate the meter. Your gas supplier should be
able to help you with all of this information.
You will need pressure and temperature correction factors as shown on the following chart
bases on the values determined above.
Example:

Assuming a value of 1000 Btu per cu ft of natural gas (typical). Your gas supplier can be more
specific about your particular gas.
If you are firing a 35 HP boiler, you are firing it about 1% over rating.

The design of your HURST boiler is such that in general operation, the starting, ramping up,
slowing, and stopping is all controlled automatically. (See START UP in this manual).
Some of the devices you may find on your unit are the Burner, Firing Rate Controls, Feedwater
Controls, Low Water Cutoff, A uxiliary Low Water Cutoff, and High Level Alarm.
As with any automatically controlled device, the key to continued successful operation is to
maintain the correct operating characteristics of the devices that are doing the controlling.
LWCO
This is especially true with a float-type low water cutoff (LWCO). This device will protect your
boiler from firing when the water level is too low, but there are several things that can go awry
and cause this device to fail.
The first, is allowing the interconnecting piping from the boiler to the device to become plugged
with sludge. “Sludge” is an all-encompassing term for material that has settled out of the water
and blocked normally open paths where water or steam should pass. This sludge may also
enter the float chamber of the LWCO and block the float from properly responding to changing
water levels in the boiler.
DAILY attention to controlling this sludge buildup by blowing down and physical inspection is a
must.
Modifying the electrical or mechanical characteristics of the LWCO in any way may cause it to
incorrectly sense boiler water level. If there is any question as to the proper operation of the
LWCO, you should shut the boiler down and correct the malfunction.
ALWCO
The Auxiliary Low Water Cutoff (ALWCO), if fitted, is a back-up device in the event of failure of
the LWCO. However, it is never a good idea to simply begin to rely on the ALWCO if you know
something is wrong with the LWCO. A failure of the ALWCO could also occur leaving you with
no safety device to shut the burner off in the event of low water. The ALWCO may be a float-
type device or it may be a probe-type control.
The unit firing rate is controlled by pressure (temperature) sensitive devices that have limits
within which they cause the burner to respond. The limits of this control must always be within
the range of the safety valve(s) setting.
Example: 150 psi designed boiler, 150 psi safety valve setting, and Operating Control range
not higher than 135 psi (about 90% of safety valve setting with a High Limit control set at 138-
140 psi. The High Limit Control is another backup device that only functions if the Operating
Control fails.
Hurst Boiler & Welding Company, Inc. Start-Up, Operation & Maintenance - Gas or Oil Fired Packaged Boilers
www.hurstboiler.com Page 15 of 31 - Rev 04//07
22 of 761
The Operating Control starts and stops the burner in response to pressure in the vessel.
If fitted, the Modulating Control varies the firing rate of the burner within the range of the start-
stop action of the Operating Control. The full modulating range must be lower than the upper
limit of the operating control.
The High Limit Control is a backup to the Operating Control, so that in the event pressure in
the boiler continues to go higher than the Operating Control set point, the High Limit control will
shut down the burner. This control generally requires operator involvement for manual re-set
before the unit will recycle.
BURNER:
The burner on your unit is a “forced draft” design meaning that the combustion air fan provides
oxygen to the combustion process in a pressurized fashion and pushes the products of
combustion through the boiler and out the exhaust stack.
All modern forced draft burners are supplied with an automatic ignition device and a flame
safeguard control. These devices sequence the burning of the fuel in a proper, systematic
fashion. No effort should ever be made to bypass any of these devices.
FEEDWATER CONTROL:
As steam is allowed to escape the boiler, water must be forced into the unit to maintain the
Normal Operating Water Level. This make-up water is normally supplied from a pump that is
dedicated to this one unit.
The starting and stopping of the feedwater pump (on smaller units) is typically controlled by the
same device that acts as the LWCO. When the water level drops to a point just above the
LWCO point, it starts the pump and allows it to run and pump water through the feedwater line
until the upper level limit is satisfied. Then, the pump is allowed to stop until the next cycle is
required.
On larger units, the water is normally fed continuously to the boiler through a Modulating
Feedwater Valve allowing only the amount of water to pass as is necessary to maintain the
Normal Operating Water Level in the boiler. This means that the feedwater pump runs
continuously. The Modulating Feedwater Valve may be pneumatic or electric and it monitors
the water level in the boiler to control the rate of water allowed into the unit.
We urge the use of Operational Logs to maintain optimum operational efficiency of your boiler
system. Maintaining regular, systematic recordings of operational data such as steam
pressure, stack temperature, Feedwater temperature, fuel meter readings, boiler water
Hurst Boiler & Welding Company, Inc. Start-Up, Operation & Maintenance - Gas or Oil Fired Packaged Boilers

chemical levels, and any other data – even the outdoor temperature – can be very helpful in
analyzing problems that may arise. Some owners/operators prefer hourly recordings, while
others may feel daily recordings to be appropriate for their operation.
Remember that during periods of cold weather, the piping that supplies fresh water to the
system must be protected from freezing.

As with any automatically controlled device, the key to continued successful operation is to
maintain the correct operating characteristics of the devices that are doing the controlling.
LWCO
This is especially true with a float-type low water cutoff (LWCO). This device will protect your
boiler from firing when the water level is too low.
Modifying the electrical or mechanical characteristics of the LWCO in any way may cause it to
incorrectly sense boiler water level. If there is any question as to the proper operation of the
LWCO, you should shut the boiler down and correct the malfunction.
Example: Operating to maintain 180 degree F bulk water temperature within the boiler.
(Temperature range must not exceed 250 degrees F). Operating control will be set at 180 so
that any time the bulk temperature drops below 180, the burner will fire to bring the
temperature back up to 180 at which time the burner will shut down.
If fitted, the Modulating Control varies the firing rate of the burner within the range of the start-
stop action of the Operating Control. The full modulating range must be lower than the upper
limit of the operating control.
BURNER:
The burner on your unit is a “forced draft” design meaning that the combustion air fan provides
oxygen to the combustion process in a pressurized fashion and pushes the products of
combustion trough the boiler and out the exhaust stack.

All modern forced draft burners are supplied with an automatic ignition device and a flame
safeguard control. These devices sequence the burning of the fuel in a proper, systematic
fashion. No effort should ever be made to bypass any of these devices.
FEEDWATER CONTROL:
As water is allowed to escape the boiler, water must be forced into the unit to maintain the
Normal Operating Water Level. This make-up water may be introduced at the boiler or in an
expansion tank and may be available from a pumping system or other system that delivers at a
pressure adequate to overcome system pressure.
We urge the use of Operational Logs to maintain optimum operational efficiency of your boiler
system. Maintaining regular, systematic recordings of operational data such as supply
temperature, return temperature, stack temperature, fuel meter readings, water makeup meter
readings, chemical additions and any other data – even the outdoor temperature – can be very
helpful in analyzing problems that may arise. Some owners/operators prefer hourly recordings,
while others may feel daily recordings to be appropriate for their operation.
BLOWOFF-BLOWDOWN
Steam:
Part of a water maintenance program will include “blowing off” or “blowing down”.
Because of the nature of introducing hot water under pressure to a point outside the boiler, it is
advisable to utilize a blowdown vessel or pit to minimize the obvious hazards.
Blowoff/Blowdown is required on all steam boilers and will help maintain the quality of boiler
water that is required for proper steam purity, control of dissolved or suspended solids that are
in the boiler water that can lead to encrustation on the heated parts of the boiler. No water
treatment program can completely eliminate all undesirable substances from your boiler water.
The most efficient method for removal of sludge that may accumulate in the bottom of your
boiler along with some dissolved solids suspended in the boiler water is through Bottom
Blowdown.
This is an intermittent, manual opening of the water space to the outside. This exercise will
generally be performed once every 8 hours of operation, but the final schedule should be
determined by your water quality consultant.
Functionally, the typical unit will have one or more “slow-opening” globe valves and one “quick
opening” valve mounted to piping that is connected at one or more points along the belly of the
boiler.
The operation is such that the “quick opening” valve is opened first, followed by opening of the
globe valve(s). As soon as the globe valve is fully open, begin immediately to close it. When it
is closed, close the “quick opening” valve. This process should probably lower the level in the
gage-glass approximately one-half inch.

Surface Blowoff is a common method for removing oil and other impurities that accumulate at
the surface of the water in the boiler.
Functionally, this method utilizes a collection pipe or pipes that are mounted just below the
normal water level in the boiler. This piping culminates just outside the boiler with a control
valve that controls the rate at which water is allowed to flow depending on the analysis of the
collected water. This analysis may be intermittent with manual valve adjustments or it may be
automatic with instrumentation that will adjust the valve accordingly.
The ultimate discharge of this water must also be directed properly to avoid contact with
property or personnel.
Water Column Blowdown is another procedure for controlling or eliminating sediment from
the low water cutoff device and the associated piping. This procedure should be executed at
least one time every 12 hours of operation. The operation of the pump control and the low
water cutoff should be verified each time this blowdown is executed. The importance of this
procedure must never be underestimated and is probably the most important function you can
perform to help eliminate low-water failures in your boiler.
Hot Water:
Normally, no blowdown is required on a water boiler because there is little make-up of water in
a closed system. However, water quality should be checked periodically to determine need for
adjustment to your water quality program.

SHUT DOWN
Steam Boilers:
Short term:
If you intend to shut your boiler down for a period not to exceed 3 days, (72 hours), you may
simply turn off the power, close the valves and leave the water at the normal operating level
without further preparation.
Long term:
If you intend to shut your boiler down for a period exceeding 3 days – up to 14 days, you
should turn off the power, fill the boiler completely with water, close all the valves, and take no
further steps of preparation.
However, in both cases sited above, if there are other boilers connected in the system with this
unit, precautions must be taken to ascertain that no bleed-over is taking place that would
pressurize the idled boiler either through the introduction of feedwater or steam.
Extended period:
For periods of shutdown beyond 14 days, you must consider either a “wet layup” or a “dry
layup”.
Wet layup means to fill the boiler completely with treated water, close all valves on the boiler,
and to carefully monitor the quality of the water at least weekly during the layup period. You
must also verify weekly that leakage or other influences have not lowered the water level in the
boiler. If it is not full, you must add water to maintain a condition of full.
The success of this storage method depends largely upon eliminating any air coming in
contact with any of the water side of the unit while maintaining good boiler-quality water inside.
Dry layup means to drain all the water from the boiler, wash and flush as necessary to
remover all sludge from the water side, and use whatever method is available to
COMPLETELY dry the water side of the unit.
Then, when the unit is completely dry inside, place moisture absorbing material inside on pans,
if possible, and seal the water side as tightly as possible from the outside environment. The
absorbing materials must be checked weekly and replaced when they become damp.
The success of this storage method depends largely upon eliminating any moist air from
coming in contact with any metal surface inside the boiler for the entire period of lay up.
If you are in an area subject to freezing temperatures, be sure to disconnect and drain all
connecting lines.

www.hurstboiler.com Page 21 of 31 - Rev 04//07

For this extended period of shutdown, it is recommended that all gas-side surfaces be brushed
to remove all soot or other foreign deposits which could lead to corrosion of the metal parts
during the time of shutdown.
Wet and Dry Layup procedures are the same for hot water systems (as steam systems) that
are to shut down for extended periods of time.
Danger of freezing with wet layup is of particular concern in a water system because of the
volume of water involved and the piping system that may extend to no -heated areas of the
facilities.
MAINTENANCE
The cleanliness of the entire boiler room will impact how long some of the controls will continue
to function and how accurate that functionality will be.
DAILY:
Hurst Boiler & Welding Company, Inc. Start-Up, Operation & Maintenance - Gas or Oil Fired Packaged Boilers
www.hurstboiler.com Page 22 of 31 - Rev 04//07
29 of 761
WEEKLY:
Remember, many motors and other moving components start and stop automatically.
Be sure to disconnect power before servicing to avoid possible injury to yourself or
others.
Steam and hot water can severely injure or kill. Do not attempt adjustments or repairs
while system is “hot” and under pressure.
u Plan ahead for the periodic insurance company or jurisdictional inspection. Have
manpower and tools available to mi nimize the time required for this important
inspection.
u Be sure to have new gaskets available for all the gasketed openings that must be
disassembled.
All jurisdictions and insurance companies require periodic waterside and fireside
inspections. These vary with the states and companies, so you need to determine their
schedule requirement so you will be prepared. These inspections can usually be carried
out at the same time to minimize down time for your operation.
u Each time the boiler is opened for an internal inspection, use this time to note any
sludge buildup on any surface, especially in the belly of the boiler and wash this out
thoroughly.
u Also, note any suspicious area of pitting or chemical buildup on the tubes or furnace.
Involve your chemical supplier for a possible re-evaluation of your water treatment
program; and after his inspection, thoroughly wash these areas clean.
u Note the condition of the fireside of the boiler. The furnace, tubes, front and rear
smokeboxes and the stack should all be brushed, or vacuumed as necessary to remove
any foreign materials. Note especially any evidence of tube leaks on the front and rear
tube sheets and in the turnaround space, if so fitted. This is the time to contact your
local boiler service company and have those leaking tubes repaired.

When preparing for a waterside inspection, stop all fuel input at least 18 hours prior to
the inspection. Allow the boiler to cool slowly to minimize stresses in the heated parts.
On steam boilers, blow the bottom blowdown frequently during this cool down period to
introduce cooler water and flush out settled sludge.
About 6 hours before the inspection, open front and rear doors. As soon as boiler
pressure has gone to 0 psig, close feedwater valves and remove manway. Open top air
vent. Turn off all power to the boiler.
Open all bottom blowdown (drain) valves to begin draining the boiler. As water is
drained, you may begin washing down as you see fit until internal parts are clean.
WATER QUALITY
The life expectancy of yo ur boiler is greatly impacted by the quality of the water you place into
it. If you take steps to assure the water to be free of contaminants and solids and to have the
correct pH, only periodic waterside inspections are necessary to maintain an efficient, long-life
operation.
STEAM BOILERS:
When the water that you place into your boiler is converted into steam; that steam leaves the
boiler, but the contaminants that were in the water stay in the boiler and have the potential to
form sludge and scale.
Sludge is generally a soft, settleable material that over time will drop to the bottom of the boiler
and may be removed through bottom blowdown. It can impact heat transfer since it will also
build up on furnace the tubes. Left uncontrolled, it can contribute to foaming and priming
thereby compromising steam quality.
Scale however, is that material that will cake on the furnace and tubes in a hard, baked-on
layer that will lead to poor heat transfer and may cause overheating of those surfaces to the
point of rupture. Ultimately, this scale must be removed, so it is better to take steps to eliminate
the very formation of the scale. Removal of scale from the water side of a boiler can be very
labor intensive and costly.
pH is the measure of how acidic the wate r is. If the pH is not properly adjusted, the metal
surfaces can experience conditions that can lead to corrosion, pitting and ultimate failure.
Sludge, scale and pH are all controllable. The condition of the raw boiler water must be
analyzed and corrected before it is introduced into the boiler. Filters, softeners, dealkalizers
and chemical feed systems are some of the pre-treatment methods used to create suitable
boiler water. Additional chemical treatment is sometimes required to be injected internally into
the boiler.
A water quality consultant can make an analysis of your boiler water and make
recommendations for treatment.

At the time of filling the system for the first time, the water quality should be checked and
treated. Chemicals to prevent scale formation, elimination of dissolved gases and control of pH
should be of particular importance.
Although these systems are considered “closed”, there are conditions that can lead to water
losses which must be made up. Leakage through handholes, threaded pipe fitting, pump seals
and a variety of other issues in the system can lead to make-up water being required in the
system water.
A meter on the make-up water line is a good method for determining the amount of water that
has been added to the system over a given period of time. This will alert the operator to verify
system water quality and adjust treatment as necessary.
Shot-type feeders are generally the method used for introducing chemicals into the system.

Discharge piping, other than a short tailpipe, must be supported. For steam service, a drip pan
elbow or flexible connection between the valve and the pipe should be used to prevent
excessive pipe stress, due to thermal expansion, from being imposed on the valve body.
3. For threaded valves, to prevent sealing compound from entering and damaging the valve,
apply a small amount of pipe thread sealing compound to external threads only. Do not put
any sealing compound on the first thread or on any internal threads. To do so may cause the
sealing compound to enter the valve and cause seat leakage.
Do not use the valve body or bonnet for installing the valve in threaded connections. Use the
wrench flats provided to tighten the valve to the connecting pipe. Torque valve enough to
ensure a pressure-tight seal and do not overtighten. To do so may cause valve leakage.
4. For flanged valves, use new gaskets and tighten the mounting studs evenly.
5. Do not paint, lubricate or allow contaminates to enter or cover the interior or any working parts
of the valve.
6. Remove gag screw (if valve is so equipped) before system start up.
Operation
1. Maintain a system operating pressure at least 5 psig or 10% below the set pressure of the
valve, whichever is greater. Operating too close to the valve set pressure will cause seat
leakage and will shorten the time between valve maintenance.
2. Do not use the safety valve as a control valve to regulate system operating pressure. Excessive
operation will cause the seat to leak and will require more frequent valve maintenance.
3. ASME Section I and VIII valves equipped with lift levers are designed to be operated only when
the system pressure is 75% of set pressure or greater. ASME Section IV valves may be
operated at any set pressure. When hand operating the valve, hold it open long enough to
purge any foreign matter from the seat area. If a cable or wire is attached to the lift lever for
remote actuation, make sure the direction of pull is the same as it would be if the lever were
pulled directly by hand.
Maintenance
Maintenance should be performed on a regular basis. An initial inspection interval of 12 months is
recommended. Depending on the service conditions and the condition of the valve, the
inspection interval may be decreased or increased. Use only Kunkle parts for repair. Depending on
the local jurisdictional requirements where the valve is installed, repairs may have to be made by a
repair facility holding a VR stamp.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
BURNER ASSEMBLY
If unsure of component identification refer to the component I.D. drawings included in the installation/operation
manual furnished for each specific job:
The burner system is shipped with the refractory tile separate from the burner assembly to prevent damage in
transit. The refractory tile should be bolted to the windbox mounting flange prior to mounting the assembly to the
furnace mounting plate.
The firing head assembly can be installed inside the windbox after the burner has been mounted on the furnace.
The adjustable firing head mounting brackets have been factory set for proper positioning of the head relative to
the refractory burner throat. Because the refractory throat may not be positioned exactly the same at the
installation as it was in the factory, a slight adjustment to the mounting brackets may be necessary to position
the head concentric with the ID of the throat.
WARNING:
Both the windbox and the swing-away FD fan assembly have provision for installing a lifting lug, however the
entire burner assembly should only be lifted using a lifting lug on the windbox. The weight of the burner should
not be supported by using a lifting lug on the swing-away blower assembly. A lifting lug should only be used on
the blower assembly should it become necessary to remove the blower assembly from the windbox.

REFRACTORY INSTALLATION
Plastic refractory must be “rammed" into the area between the O.D. of the burner tile and the I.D. of the furnace.
This refractory must extend a minimum of 2-1/2" beyond the tube sheet of water wall of the boiler. Refractory
which extends beyond the end of the burner tile should be formed from the I.D. of the tile at a minimum angle of
45 degrees.

A gradual refractory heat up schedule must be followed to ensure proper curing of the burner tile and any plastic
refractory used during installation. Improperly cured refractory can blister, crack, or explode due to too rapid
heating and excessive vaporization of moisture in the material. Excessive steam issuing from the refractory
indicates that temperature is increasing too rapidly. Hold temperature until steaming subsides.
The following schedule does not supersede the manufacturer’s schedule, but should be viewed as a minimum
requirement. Always follow the plastic refractory manufacturer’s instructions for proper curing and longest
refractory service life.
1. Initially fire the burner at low fire for 30 minutes.
2. Shutdown for 30 minutes.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 for 6 to 8 hours. This will incrementally, but gradually raise the refractory to
proper curing temperature. Do not take the firing rate past minimum until the refractory is fully cured.
Fine surface cracks are normal in a properly cured refractory and do not indicate defect or failure. Large
penetrating cracks or missing pieces indicate the refractory was improperly installed or cured too rapidly. All
damaged refractory should be repair or replaced immediately to avoid damage to the burner.
Jarring during shipment can cause misalignment of the swing-away blower assembly to the windbox, or of the
latch lug to the latch lock. The blower assembly is aligned to the windbox with adjusting bolts on the hinges; the
weight of the blower assembly must be supported should it become necessary to loosen the fastening bolts for
readjustment.
The latch assembly can be readjusted in both the horizontal and vertical directions after loosening the mounting
screws. The latch lug can also be adjusted to insure tight closure of the blower assembly to the windbox by
loosening the jam nut behind the lug and threading the lug closer to, or farther away from the latch lock.
The position of the latch handle relative to the latch lug can be changed by pulling out on the handle while
pushing in on the end of the latch shaft and rotating the handle to the desired position.

CONTROL PANEL & SAFETY CONTROLS INSTALLATION
The control panel is furnished as a separate item and should be installed in a location other that immediately
next to, or in line with the burner. It should be mounted on an adjacent wall or the side of the appliance. All
wiring must comply with, and all branch circuits must be protected according to the national electrical code.
Flame detector wiring between the burner and the control panel should be run in separate conduit from high
voltage conductors.
All safety controls indicated on the wiring schematic furnished with the burner must be installed and wired in the
control system as shown. Any discrepancies, or changes, must be approved by the S.T. JOHNSON CO. prior to
initial firing of the burner system.
All signal wiring should be run in separate conduit and shielded according to the wiring schematic supplied with
the equipment.
The installation dimensions for standard NEMA 1 control panel enclosures follow. Specifications for other than
NEMA 1 enclosures, and/or the inclusion of optional control equipment, may result in different installation
dimensions. If mounting dimensions are critical, check with the factory for information on specific jobs.

REQUIRED SAFETY LIMIT CONTROLS FOR ALL MODELS
All burner systems must be installed with a pressure or temperature operating control and high limit control.
These controls must be installed on the appliance in a location where they can accurately sense the pressure of
the vapor, or temperature of the liquid being heated. Contact the appliance manufacturer if unsure of the correct
mounting location. The electrical wiring schematic furnished with the burner indicates where these controls need
to be wired into the control system.
The operating control functions to limit the firing of the burner to those pressures, or temperatures, below the set
point of the control. Its N.C. contacts break upon rise of the pressure, or temperature. Typical operating controls
are:
The high limit control functions to shut off the burner system at a pressure, or temperature slightly above the set
point of the operating control. The set point of the high limit control must be less than the maximum pressure, or
temperature, or the appliance the burner is applied to. The N.C. contacts of this control break on a rise in
pressure, or temperature, and must result in manual reset of the control to resume operation of the burner
system. Typical high limit controls are:
If safety limit controls were not furnished with the burner system, or with the appliance on
which the burner is being installed, contact S.T. JOHNSON CO. or the appliance manufacturer
to obtain the proper controls for installation prior to initial firing of the system.
DO NOT attempt to fire any appliance, whether boiler or furnace without the necessary safety
limit controls.

The entire combustion system must be checked prior to attempting the initial operation. These checks must
include, but are not limited to:
1. All piping must be checked against the provided piping drawings to insure proper installation. Tightness of all
fittings should also be checked.
2. All wiring must be checked against the provided wiring drawings to insure completeness and accuracy. Check
for loose connections or short circuits prior to applying power to the system.
3. The electrical power supply must be checked to insure the voltage coincides with the motor and control
voltages listed on the equipment nameplates.
4. Check gas supply pressure to insure it is compatible with the pressure regulators installed on the gas train.
5. Check oil supply to verify the grade of oil corresponds to that specified on the burner nameplate. Also insure
that transfer pumps, if used, do not supply oil to the burner pump at a pressure higher than the manufacturer’s
specification, generally 3 PSIG.
6. Check linkages to all fuel control valves and the air shutter to insure proper operation without binding or
slippage.
7. Insure all pumps have been properly primed with oil and that the compressor, on air atomized systems, has
been filled with the proper grade of compressor oil.
8. Check for proper rotation of all motors by momentarily closing the motor starter contacts.
9. Referring to the manufacturer’s instructions included in the operating manual furnished, check for the proper
setting and operation of all safety related controls; this could include but is not limited to:

COMBUSTION AIR ADJUSTMENT
Burners with an integral, swing-away, blower assembly should have the air shutter completely closed at low fire
for proper pilot performance and maximum turndown of the main flame. On applications involving a positive
furnace pressure the air shutter should be adjusted for full opening at high fire to obtain the maximum catalog
capacity. On applications involving a negative furnace pressure the opening of the air shutter should be limited
to a point where the fan motor will not draw more current than 115% of the nameplate amperage.
To insure complete closure of the air shutter at low fire the linkage between the main jackshaft and the air
jackshaft should be adjusted to provide a slight amount of over-travel of the linkage into the overtravel or swivel
assembly when the air shutter is closed.
On applications where a very high draft, or a changing draft, such as boiler conversions with high stacks or
where multiple boilers utilize a common stack, serious consideration must be given to control the draft through
the combustion chamber/burner. Uncontrolled draft can cause low efficiency, noisy combustion and instability.
Remote fan burners (-RF model designation) can be furnished with a multi-blade air damper on the inlet of the
burner, or with an inlet vortex damper on the remote fan. Remote fans and associated air ducting must be sized
to provide the following differential windbox air pressures (over & above the furnace pressure):

adjustment; refer to the programmer instructions furnished with the burner.
Standard piloting arrangements are designed for use with natural gas or propane and include a pilot solenoid
valve, pressure gauge, ball valve, ignition transformer and regulator rated for 10 PSIG max inlet pressure. The
regulator should be adjusted to provide an outlet pressure of 3 to 6" w.c. The internal orifice in the pilot
assembly may be drilled out to 1/8" maximum in applications where a larger pilot flame may be desired.
PI COMPONENT IDENTIFICATION
Diesel oil pilot systems are designed to operate with 100 to 110 PSIG oil pressure on the pilot nozzle. The exact
piping configuration and adjustment procedure differs according to the burner model. Heavy oil burners include
a separate pilot oil pump and a time delay relay in the control system to interrupt the pilot pump after
establishment of the main flame. Standard arrangements for pressure or air atomized light oil burners utilize the
main oil pump for the pilot, however a separate pilot oil pump can be furnished as an option.

FIRING HEAD ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE
The air diffuser is a critical component in the burner design. A damaged or deteriorated air diffuser will adversely
affect combustion performance. The following dimensional information is furnished as a maintenance guide
especially for checking for proper louver openings. Although these dimensions are the factory standard, certain
special applications may have required opening the outside of the diffuser louvers further.

AIR ROTATION BLADE SETTINGS
The air rotation blades serve to control the amount of, and swirl of, the combustion air flowing through the center
of the air diffuser. This air has a rotation opposite to that of the air flowing through the outer diffuser louvers. The
rate of fuel/air mixing and flame geometry can also be changed by the rotation blade setting especially when
firing oil. Closing the blades more will result in a higher degree of swirl to the flame carrying the fuel/air mixture
further out toward the furnace walls.
Oil only burners, especially those firing heavy oil, typically should have the rotation blades open further as
indicated by position "B" below. Burners designed to fire on gas, or gas/oil, would typically have the blades set
in the normal position "A". The closed position "C" is almost never recommended
Positioning the blades so the stem is on the outward side will result in lower emissions on those installations
where NOx control is incorporated.
Gas systems designed with gas spuds located behind the air diffuser can incur combustion behind the diffuser
on initial light-off if the blades are open further than position "A" and the system is adjusted for maximum
turndown. This condition should be checked for after initial commissioning and the blades closed further if the
problem exists.
After initial setup the air rotation blades should only need to be checked, or re-set, if and when the air diffuser is
replaced.

MAINTENANCE RECOMMENDATIONS FOR ALL BURNERS
Note: The following procedures will result in a burner shut-down for a short period; if the burner does not shut
down during any of the following steps, the control being tested must be replaced before placing the equipment
back into service. Refer to the manufacturer’s literature for check-out instructions for each specific control.
1. Manually shut off the source of fuel; the burner system should shut down within 4 seconds. If not the
flame detector and/or the amplifier portion of the primary safety control must be replaced.
2. Reduce the set point of the operating limit control below the existing pressure, or temperature,
condition. The burner should shut down immediately.
3. Reduce the set point of the high limit control below the existing pressure, or temperature, condition.
The burner should shut down immediately requiring a manual reset to restart.
4. Reduce the set point of the low pressure switch for the fuel being used, either gas or oil, to a point
below the operating pressure. The burner should shut down requiring a manual reset.
NON-OPERATIONAL CHECKS
1. Check for cleanliness of flame scanner lens.
2. Check for deterioration of pilot, ignition electrode & firing head components.
3. Check for dirt build-up on ignition electrode insulator and ignition cable.
4. Check for dirt build-up on fan blades.
5. Check for proper and safe operation of flame safeguard programmer according to the manufacturer’s
instructions provided in the manual furnished with the burner.
6. Leak test all fuel safety shut-off valves according to the manufacturer’s instructions provided in the
operating manual furnished with the burner.
LUBRICATION
Fan motors should be lubricated every 6 months under normal operating conditions, or more often with high
ambient temperatures. For motors up through 10 HP use #2 consistency, lithium based, grease. For 15 HP and
larger motors use #2 consistency, polyurea grease.

SPECIAL MAINTENANCE RECOMMENDATIONS FOR BELT-DRIVE (50 Hz) BURNERS
The "HPT" style drives do not require as much belt tension as standard "V-BELT" type drives but sprocket
alignment is very important to insure long belt life. A straight edge should be used to insure correct alignment of
the sprockets.
The motor can be re-positioned on the adjustable motor mounting base to insure correct alignment of the motor
shaft with the fan shaft in the vertical plane. If necessary, loosen the bolts holding the motor to the adjustable
base and position on the motor to obtain proper shaft alignment in the vertical plane.
The motor mounting base can be adjusted to insure that the center line of the motor shaft and the center line of
the fan shaft are parallel. If necessary, loosen the (4) locking bolts on the side of the adjustable base and
change the height of either the front or the back of the mounting plate using the adjusting bolts located on top of
the base.
After properly aligning the shafts, the height adjusting bolts on top of the adjustable base can be used to obtain
the proper tension on the drive belt. When adjusting belt tension all (4) height adjusting bolts should be changed
by the same amount in order to maintain proper shaft alignment. Exact belt tension can be determined by
applying a perpendicular force to the center of the belt width, and the center of the belt span, with a spring
scale. The following belt deflections should occur when a force of 5kg is applied:
BURNER SIZE 50 - 125 150 -250 300 -400 500 - 700 1025 - 1040
Deflection: 5 mm 6 mm 8 mm 10 mm 12mm
Note: Burner size 1040 furnished with a TEFC motor should have a deflection of 12mm when a force of 7.3 kg is
applied.
Fan shaft bearings should be lubricated with the same grease, and at the same interval as recommended for
the fan motor.
The inner race of the fan shaft bearings is locked to the shaft with set screws; tightness of this set screw should
be checked at regular maintenance intervals to insure the bearing race does not rotate on the fan shaft.
REPLACEMENT PARTS
When ordering parts, or requesting information on equipment, always include the nameplate data including shop
order number.

OPTIONAL AIR FILTER ASSEMBLIES
FD68 air filter assemblies utilize a reticulated flexible polyester urethane foam filter media which have a three
dimensional structure of skeletal strands to provide exceptional filtering characteristics at very low resistance to
airflow. The media has the following specifications:
WARNING:
The air filter media should not be exposed to prolonged periods of direct sunlight, strong acids,
caustics, or chlorine. Exposure to aromatic hydrocarbons will cause swelling of the material, however,
the original dimensions can be restored by removal of the hydrocarbons via cleaning.
MAINTENANCE RECOMMENDATIONS:
Normal cleaning procedures will simply involve vacuuming from the outside of the material or reverse flushing
with water.
Oil and entrapped particulate can be removed by immersing in hot water and detergent.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
Rev 3/09 18
117 of 761
Combustion Equipment
& Control Systems S.T. JOHNSON CO.
GAS SYSTEMS STARTUP
Gas trains are selected according to local code & insurance requirements. Components are sized according to
available gas supply pressure, burner capacity, and furnace pressure. As a guide standard sizes are listed in
the catalog bulletin along with the required outlet pressure of the main pressure regulator. Installation manuals
for each job include drawings of the gas train furnished with the burner system.
LOCATION
Gas trains should be located as close to the burner assembly as possible, preferably on the left side of the
burner to facilitate easy connection to the gas control valve. Temperature limitations of all the components
should be taken into account when mounting directly on the heating appliance. (Refer to the specifications and
installation instructions furnished with the operating manual).
FIELD PIPING
The piping should contain as few direction changes as possible between the main pressure regulator and the
burner inlet to minimize the pressure drop. Proper sizing of components often results in a main pressure
regulator with a smaller pipe size than the shut-off valves; this transition in pipe size should be made with a "bell
type" reducer at least 4 pipe diameters downstream of the regulator outlet. Gas shut-off valves and regulators
are all uni-directional and must be installed accordingly. Gas train assembly drawings are provided in the
installation & operating manual with each system.
VENT CONNECTIONS
Gas train assemblies to meet IRI code, and all gas trains for capacities greater than 12500 MBTU/HR, include a
N.O. vent valve for installation between the (2) shut-off valves. This valve should be installed in a horizontal run
of piping with the solenoid coil on the top. The pipe size of the vent line must be no smaller than the valve
furnished with the burner system. Vent connections from all pressure regulators and pressure switches should
also be vented to the outside of the building using 1/4" OD tubing as a minimum and may be manifolded
together but the size of the common vent line must be at least equal in area to the largest vent plus 50% of the
area of the remaining vent lines. The vent line from the N.O. vent valve must be run separately.
WARNING:
All piping and gas train components must be leak tested prior to the initial start up of the burner
system. The manual gas cock installed downstream of the shut-off valves is provided for this testing.
Gas shut-off valves should be leak tested periodically to insure there is no leakage through the valve
seats. It is recommended this leak testing be performed monthly.

Combustion Equipment
& Control Systems S.T. JOHNSON CO.
MAIN GAS ADJUSTMENT
WARNING: Before proceeding with the main fuel/air adjustment, all appropriate PREFIRING CHECKOUTS
must be performed. Also insure that all linkages move smoothly without binding and are properly set to provide
for the minimum positions of both the air shutter and fuel valve at low fire. Make sure all connectors are tight.
A pilot turndown test must be performed according to the flame safeguard manufacturer's instructions provided
with this burner system. This test must ensure that the main burner flame can be smoothly ignited with the
smallest flame that can be detected by the flame detector. The orientation of the flame detector can be changed
if necessary by readjusting its swivel mount. A spark pickup test should also be conducted to ensure that UV
radiation from the ignition spark is not being detected whenever a UV flame detector is in use. Please refer the
manufacturer’s instructions.
The use of the "test/run" switch on the flame safeguard programmer, and the manual firing rate potentiometer, is
recommended to facilitate main fuel/air adjustment. Before attempting main fuel/air adjustment insure that the
system is in the low-fire, manual mode.
Flue gas constituents should be analyzed at all firing rates to optimize the levels of O2 & CO2 and insure that
the level of CO is not excessive. The exact percentage of these constituents can vary according to the
application but O2 levels will typically be 6-8% @ low fire and gradually decrease to 3-4% @ high fire. The
required low fire adjustment is often affected by the combustion chamber size, with smaller chambers requiring
more air to achieve proper flame geometry. If precise fuel/air ratios are required, or if acceptable levels are
difficult to achieve due to application variables, a gas control valve with an adjustable characteristic cam must
be considered.
If an adjustable characteristic cam is not used, the fuel/air ratio is determined merely by the low and high fire
setting of the gas butterfly valve and the position of the valve crankarm relative to the position of the jackshaft
crankarm. The effect of changing these relative positions is shown under GAS VALVE LINKAGE
ADJUSTMENT.
Manifold gas pressure should be measured and recorders using a manometer connected to the test port located
between the gas control valve and the burner inlet. The gas pressure at minimum fire will be negligible and
difficult to read; for this reason the fuel/air adjustment is best accomplished by sight and flue product analysis.
High fire manifold pressures to achieve the nominal burner capacity (i.e. 250HP for size 250), and the maximum
cataloged capacities are listed under GAS PRESSURE SETTINGS in the proceeding section.
Burners designed to burn fuel other than natural gas will typically be constructed with different gas jet porting
and will require manifold pressures similar to those previously listed for natural gas. All burners with special
configurations will have the proper high fire manifold pressure stamped on the burner nameplate.
Gas combustion in a confined combustion chamber with a small cross-sectional area can result in combustion
harmonics especially if the length to diameter ratio of the chamber is large. Model FD68 burners are designed to
eliminate this problem for most applications, however if this problem occurs the following corrective steps should
be attempted in the order listed:
1. An adjustable characteristic gas valve cam should be used.
2. The fuel/air ratio must be changed to compensate.
3. The jackshaft and valve crank positions must be changed.
4. The position of the air rotation blades on the firing head must be changed.
5. The position of the air band around the gas jet plenum should be changed.
6. Some of the inner gas jets should be plugged and the manifold pressure increased.

AIR ROTATION BLADE & AIR BAND SETTINGS
The air rotation blades may be changed as shown. It must be kept in mind that combination gas/oil burners will
probably require a normal to open setting of these blades for oil firing. The air band (if supplied) may also be
repositioned to change the amount of air introduced to the gas jet plenum.

INNER GAS JETS
The air rotation blades are factory set so that a straight edge place on the blades will be tangent with the
primary sleeve on the firing head. Rotating the blades further open will result in more air being delivered into the
center of the flame. Closing the blades will force more air toward the outside of the flame and will result in more
rotation to the flame. Oil fired systems will generally require the blades to be open at least as far as the factory
setting. The shaft of the blades should be facing toward the center of the firing head for lowest emissions.
The percentage of laminar air flow through the center of the air diffuser can be controlled with the setting of the
primary air sleeve. The primary air opening "E" is factory set at the maximum opening. In general the primary air
opening should be set for its maximum value particularly on oil fired systems.

& Control Systems S.T. JOHNSON CO.
AIR DISTRIBUTION SLEEVE
The air distribution sleeve is only furnished with gas only, LE-series firing heads. It controls the flow of air
through the center of the diffuser. The dimension "D" is factory set at 5/8" but this dimension can be increased if
lower NOx levels are required. The sleeve will result in a slower mixing flame when firing with oil and can be
removed if a faster mixing oil fire, with more rotation, is required when firing in relatively small combustion
chambers.
The Series LE firing head design incorporates several features which enable field adjustment to change the rate
of fuel/air mixing, flame geometry, and emission levels. Most installations will not require any changes from the
factory settings as described below. In general NOx levels will decrease as more fuel is added to the outside of
the flame. More gas can be directed to the outside of the flame until an unstable non-combustible, mixture is
obtained in the center of the flame. Instability is usually only a limiting factor when firing into small diameter
firetube boilers.
The flame geometry and emission levels are affected by the direction at which the primary fuel gas is injected
into the combustion air stream. The direction of the gas flow from the primary gas orifices of the outer spuds can
be changed by rotating the spuds. The center orifice is factory set in position "A", directed toward the center of
the firing head. Rotating in the direction of position "B" will result in more fuel being delivered to the outside of
the flame. Rotating toward position "C", against the flow of air through the diffuser louvers, will also result in
faster mixing but generally is not recommended because of the generation of higher levels of CO and NOx.
For natural gas, two of the three primary gas orifices are plugged at the factory. If more fuel is desired in the
center of the flame, one or both of the primary orifice plugs can be removed. The center secondary orifice, on
the face of the spud, may also be plugged resulting in less fuel being delivered to the outside of the flame.
Lower NOx emissions are generally achieved with two of the primary orifices open, and all five of the secondary
orifices open. Orifice configuration will vary for fuels other than natural gas.

OIL SYSTEM STARTUP: PRESSURE ATOMIZED MODEL P-LM
Refer to all preceding sections including combustion air and IGNITION SYSTEM adjustments.
Please refer to each manufacturer’s manual for system components prior to making any adjustments to the
burner.
Prime the suction line to the pump by filling the suction line strainer with oil prior to checking for proper rotation
of the pump. If supply pressure is not developed shortly after starting the pump, check for improper or loose
connections in the suction line, or improper pump rotation. Prolonged operation without a proper prime will
cause damage to the pump.
Modulating pressure atomizing systems utilize a return-flow nozzle with a constant oil supply pressure and a
variable return flow pressure. The return flow pressure is determined by the position of the oil metering valve
located in the oil return line on the left front of the burner. Refer to OIL SYSTEM SETTINGS for nominal supply
and return pressures and valve settings, OIL PIPING SCHEMATIC, and METERING VALVE SETTINGS for
linkage adjustments. The settings listed should be used as a guide for initial firing with final adjustments made
according to the results of a flue gas analysis. Typical O2 readings are 3 - 4 % @ high fire and 6 - 8 % @ low
fire. A smoke reading should also be taken to insure proper adjustment and good atomization or the oil.
The presence of white smoke indicates too little oil which normally can be eliminated by changing the position of
the metering valve to a lower number on the index plate. Black smoke indicates too much oil and the need to
change the metering valve to a higher numbered setting. If either of these conditions exists at one end of the
firing range, but not the other, the rate of travel of the metering valve will have to be changed by changing the
position of the valve crank arm relative to the position of the crank arm on the jackshaft.
Check for a dirty or clogged oil nozzle when experiencing difficulty obtaining proper combustion or
recommended return oil pressures. If proper supply pressure cannot be obtained, check for restrictions in the oil
suction line, especially the oil strainer.
After making final adjustments check tightness of all linkage connections and ensure there is no binding of
linkages during travel between maximum and minimum positions. Record all pressures and valve settings for
future reference.
WARNING: The system must be checked for smooth and reliable ignition of the main flame
after main burner adjustments are made. All safety related controls must also be checked for
proper, and safe operation.

REMOTE OIL PUMP INSTALLATION
All FD68 pressure atomizing oil burners are furnished with a separate pump set mounted on a steel base for
remote mounting. The pump requires a two-pipe system. Pump warranty will be voided if a one-pipe system is
utilized.
The following drawing shows the available piping connections on the pump and the table indicates the
recommended suction line sizing for various conditions. Contact the factory for installations involving suction lift
greater than that listed in the table.

The burner supply and oil return line sizes can be one pipe size smaller than the suction line size.
All pump installations must utilize a proper oil filter, such as a cartridge type, or 100 mesh basket strainer.
Failure to install a proper suction filter may result in damage to the pump and void the warranty. The oil filter and
suction line must be sized so as not to exceed 10” Hg vacuum (suction) at the oil pump suction port.
A fusible link valve and/or an overhead anti-siphon valve should be used as applicable by local code.
WARNING!
DO NOT use Teflon tape. Use of Teflon tape will void pump warranty.

DIRECT-SPARK IGNITION SYSTEM SETTINGS
Model FD68 pressure atomized light oil burners arranged for direct-spark ignition of the main flame have a dual-
electrode ignition assembly fastened directly to the nozzle body. The nozzle body, nozzles, & ignition
components can be easily removed from the firing head as one assembly for inspection, electrode setting or
nozzle cleaning/replacement.
If it is necessary to remove the oil nozzles from the body it is recommended to first remove the ignition electrode
assembly from the body to avoid disrupting the electrode setting and then re-fastening the ignition assembly to
the body in the correct position after replacing the nozzles.

OIL SYSTEM STARTUP: AIR ATOMIZED OIL SYSTEMS MODELS A-LM, A-MM, A-HM
Final air and oil adjustments should be made by analyzing the flue gas. Optimum CO2 readings will vary
according to oil being burned, but O2 readings should be approximately 3-4% @ high fire and 5-7% @ low fire.
These settings generally will result in a turndown ratio of 5:1; a larger turndown can be achieved with higher O2
readings @ low fire.
After adjustments are completed all safety related controls, including the flame safeguard programmer,
temperature or pressure limit controls, and blower air & atomizing air pressure switches must be tested for
proper operation by deliberately simulating component failure and/or changing the setting of the temperature
and pressure limit controls to force safety shut-down of the burner system.
Refer to the PIPING DIAGRAM for -LM, -MM, or -HM burners respectively.
Optimum atomizing temperature for the oil can very considerably but the following recommendations can be
used as a guide to obtain the required 100 - 150 SSU viscosity at the nozzle:
Oil Atomizing Temperature (Degrees F)
Grade of Oil
Minimum Typical Max
#4 70 F 110 F 135 F
#5 130 F 150 F 175 F
#6 185 F 210 F 240 F
Improper atomization and high smoke readings will result if the oil temperature is too low and unstable,
pulsating combustion will result from too high of an atomizing temperature. Model A-HM burners with (2) oil
heaters should have the thermostats set at slightly different temperatures to avoid having both heaters cycle
simultaneously causing wide swings in temperature.
The oil delivery rate to the burner is determined by the oil metering valve position and the oil supply pressure to
the inlet of the metering valve. Higher numbered positions on the metering valve and/or a higher supply
pressure will result in a greater oil delivery rate.
The oil supply pressure is set by adjusting the backpressure regulating valve, which is located on the left-front of
the burner assembly (right rear on sizes 800 and larger) between the oil supply and oil return connections. The
optimum oil supply pressure setting will depend on the viscosity of oil at the burner inlet and other operating
parameters such as furnace pressure, altitude, and desired firing rates.

Oil metering valves are factory set to travel between the minimum and maximum positions indicated on the OIL
SYSTEMS SETTING page for the respective burner model. The linkage to the metering valve can be adjusted
to change the minimum or maximum firing rate, or to change the rate of increase of the oil flow from minimum to
maximum.
Typical linkage and crank arm arrangements for the oil metering valve are shown below for the different sizes of
air atomized oil burners when the optional adjustable characteristic cam is not used. The alternate positions of
the crank arm, and the different locations of the linkage connectors, are shown as an aid to properly set the rate
of fuel increase to match the rate of air increase when the burner modulates between low & high fire. The
alternate positions apply to all burner sizes.

MAXON ADJUSTABLE GRADIENT OIL METERING VALVES
The linkage should be set to allow for full travel of the valve quadrant. The cover plate on the quadrant needs to
be removed to allow access to the adjusting screws which are not factory set. Field adjustment of this valve is
required. Turning the adjusting screws in (clockwise) will result in a higher fuel flow at that specific valve
position.
Proper adjustment will result in each screw being slightly further in than the lower numbered screw adjacent to
it. The highest numbered screw should not be in further than the face of the casting. If more fuel flow is needed
with a maximum adjustment of the screw then the oil supply pressure should be increased.
Refer to the manufacturer’s instruction manual for additional operating and maintenance procedures.
Refer to OIL, AIR AND PUMP ARMATURE VOLTAGE SETTINGS for -LM, -MM, or -HM respectively.
Refer to the OIL PIPING DIAGRAM for -LM, -MM, or -HM with ELECTRONIC OIL METERING SYSTEM
respectively.
The oil return line on the right side of the burner includes a backpressure regulating valve which should initially
be set to provide 10 to 11 psig oil pressure at the nozzle pressure gauge in the low fire position during pre-
purge. After final burner adjustment this pressure should be set to equal the low fire oil pressure.
Initial temperature & pressure switch settings should be made as indicated for the oil metering valve system. All
other adjustments should be made according to the ELECTRONIC OIL METERING SYSTEM INSTRUCTIONS
in the proceeding section.

ATOMIZING AIR COMPRESSOR INSTALLATION & ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE
INSTALLATION
All compressor sets furnished with series FD68 air atomized burners are mounted on steel bases for mounting
separately from the burner. The base must be firmly anchored as close to the burner as possible to avoid
excessive pressure drop in the atomizing air piping. Vibration isolators are not required, but may be used.
If remote mounting is necessary good piping design must be utilized to ensure sufficient atomizing air pressure
at the burner nozzle.
Rev 3/09 50
149 of 761
Combustion Equipment
& Control Systems S.T. JOHNSON CO.
PIPING
Compressors are not furnished with reservoir tanks as the output is closely matched to the air requirement of
the burner. To eliminate the possibility of pressure fluctuations at the burner nozzle it is good practice to install a
short run of oversized piping at the compressor outlet to act as a small accumulator.
START-UP
In general, compressors are shipped without oil in the crankcase. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for
filling with the proper grade of oil prior to starting. Because most installations involve prolonged periods of
operation it is recommended to use 500 SUS napthenic base compressor oil for lubrication. SAE 30, non-
detergent, automotive grade oil can be substituted but it is not recommended for continuous operation.
ADJUSTMENT
Compressors are furnished with a bypass line and adjusting valve from the discharge to the inlet to enable
adjustment of the air volume delivered to the burner nozzle. If adjustment is required refer to the burner
adjusting instructions for proper setting of the atomizing air pressure.
In general, too little atomizing air pressure will result in poor atomization while too high a pressure can result in a
pulsating flame and even combustion harmonics especially in restricted combustion chambers.
MAINTENANCE
Compressor oil level must be checked at least twice a week during periods of continuous operation.
Compressors installed in areas of high ambient temperatures and/or little ventilation will run hotter and may
consume some oil. Refer to the manufacturer’s manual for complete recommendations.

INDUCED FGR OPTION (LOW NOx OR FUTURE LOW NOx BURNERS ONLY)
WARNING! The induced FGR option should be used for FD68 burners designed for Low NOx
operation. Application to standard models may result in serious damage and injury.
STACK CONNECTION:
The FGR connection to the stack should be in a location which will result in the straightest run of piping to the
burner inlet, connection near the discharge of the stack must be avoided to eliminate the possibility of entraining
air into the system. If a stack damper is used the connection should be between the boiler outlet and the
damper. If an I.D. FAN is used the connection should be on the discharge of the fan.
The FGR piping should protrude into the stack with a beveled inlet to enhance the flow of flue gas into the piping
with a minimum pressure drop.
FGR EXISTING
STACK FGR
The required FGR pipe size is affected by the burner size, required NOx threshold, length of piping, and the
expected number of direction changes. Recommendations will be made on an individual job basis.
An FGR control valve is furnished to shut off the recirculation during purging and ignition cycles and for the
purpose of modulating the amount of recirculation during firing cycles. It can be mounted anywhere in the FGR
piping but mounting close to the burner assembly reduces the length of wiring required from the burner to the
valve actuator.
Systems incorporating a single-point positioning control system incorporate a Q181A aux potentiometer
mounted on the burner modulating motor to control the position of the modulating motor on the FGR control
valve. Systems incorporating a parallel positioning control system include a servomotor mounted on the FGR
valve.
The Q181A aux potentiometer has an adjustable pick-up & span which needs to be adjusted after installation to
provide for proper modulation of the FGR valve.

General Description
Tuthill’s LA and LE Series are compact, highly efficient, cast iron positive displacement rotary
gear pumps with a mechanical seal. Built in six sizes, they provide nominal capacities from .5 to
14 gallons per minute and pressures up to 500 psi (300 psi in the 5LE). They are self priming
and particularly suited to handle liquids of 35 to 1000 SSU viscosity. Higher viscosities can be
handled at reduced speeds.
The LA Series is supplied with a two bolt flange, the LE Series with a three bolt flange. Optional
mounting feet are available for both Series. An internal relief valve is an option with the LE
Series.
Both Series are bi-rotational (unless outfitted with a relief valve) and designed for direct drive at
standard motor speeds, with modifications available for indirect drive.

Service Manual # 11
! WARNING
Failure to follow these instructions could result in serious bodily injury or death.
These pumps should not be used for handling plain water, corrosive or abrasive liquids or liquids
not possessing adequate lubricity.
Do not attempt to work on any Tuthill pump installation before completing the steps below.
Disconnect the drive so that it cannot be started while work is being performed.
Review the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) applicable to the liquid being pumped to
determine its characteristics and the precautions necessary to ensure safe handling.
Vent all pressure within the pump through the suction or discharge lines.
All Tuthill pumps contain residual 200 SSU lube oil from the factory production test. Determine if
this is compatible with the fluid you are pumping. If the fluid is incompatible, consult the factory.
Location
LA and LE Series pumps are designed for working pressures up to 500 psi (300 psi in the 5LE)
and are required to develop 25” mercury vacuum at 0 psi on factory test. While these pumps will
develop as high as 27” of vacuum, it is a sound engineering practice to avoid extreme vacuum
whenever possible. Select a pipe size to reduce line friction loss to a minimum.
The pump should be located as close to the source of supply as conditions permit and if possible,
below the level of the liquid in the reservoir. When necessary to locate the pump in a pit,
provisions should be made to safeguard against flooding. Care must be taken to properly
support the suction and discharge piping so that no strain is put on the pump due to either weight
or expansion. Piping strain can result in misalignment, hot bearings, worn couplings, and
vibration. It is important that the piping used be clean and free of chips or scales.
Proper Installation
Unsatisfactory pump installations are usually characterized by poor suction conditions for the
specific liquid being handled. Suction conditions should be minimized to prevent vaporization of
the liquid. If vacuum conditions force the liquid to vaporize, cavitation will occur, resulting in loss
of capacity, premature wear and noisy operation.
When handling high viscosity liquids, the speed of the pump must be reduced and the size of the
lines increased to prevent cavitation.
Note: Pipe line friction increases at a rapid rate with an increase in viscosity. For a given pump
and motor, larger pipe lines are necessary to maintain the same pump pressure when changing
from a thin fluid to a thick one.
Most Tuthill LA and LE Series pumps are supplied with both ports on the same plane. Pumps
with this type of porting arrangement should always be installed with both ports pointing upward
to
insure proper priming. If it is necessary to install the pump with the ports pointing to either side, it
is recommended that the top port be the suction port. This will prevent gravity induced drainage
V1.2 3 of 12 04/01/2009
160 of 761
Service Manual # 11
of fluid through the suction port. When pipe lines are installed, an inverted “U” bend should be
incorporated into the suction line close to the pump for priming purposes.
The multiple port arrangement in the 5LE offers flexibility but is limited to some common sense
restrictions. There is an inlet and an outlet side to the pump. There must always be at least one
pipe on each side. Units ordered with the side port option (modification S) are shipped with port
plugs in the top ports. To adapt to a 90° porting arrangement, the plugs must be relocated.
Because of its size, the 5LE will not mount onto a NEMA 48 frame motor unless the motor is
shimmed approximately ¼”.
With the ports facing up, and viewing the pump from the shaft end, the inlet port is on the right for
clockwise rotation and on the left for counter-clockwise rotation. Pumps with built in relief valves
are directional. Therefore rotation must be specified at time of order. The adjusting screw of the
internal relief valve must always be located on the suction side of the pump.
Pumps should be filled with oil at installation and should never be allowed to run dry.
Every pump installation should have a good foundation. Its structure should be sufficiently strong
to hold the pump rigid and to absorb any strain or shock that may be encountered. The
installation should be leveled, checked for proper piping alignment, and then fastened securely.
Method of Drive
Direct drive through a traditional flexible coupling is recommended. However, do not expect the
flexible coupling to compensate for misalignment. Contact the coupling manufacturer to
determine the maximum amount of misalignment to which the coupling can be subjected.
LA and LE Series pumps can be driven in either direction of rotation, unless outfitted with an
internal relief valve. The seal chamber communicates with the neutral zone and therefore the
seal is subjected to approximately one half of the discharge pressure.
All pump and motor units must be properly aligned during assembly and periodically checked
since misalignment may occur later due to abuse or other conditions. Pipe strain can force the
pump and motor shafts out of alignment. Therefore, all piping to the pump must be properly
supported. Do not allow the pump to act as a pipe support.
Provide for proper expansion of pipes when handling hot liquids. Allow pump to reach operating
temperature slowly. Rapid temperature change can result in damage to the cast iron
components. Recheck the alignment.
Never align a pump and motor supplied with a pin type coupling without first removing the pins.
Never depend upon sight or feel. Use proper gauges when aligning the pump.
V1.2 4 of 12 04/01/2009
161 of 761
Service Manual # 11
The LA and LE Series are positive displacement pumps. As the pump rotates, liquid is positively
delivered to the discharge side of the pump. If the discharge line is closed off, pressure will
increase until the drive stalls and/or fails, the pump breaks or ruptures, or the piping bursts. To
prevent this from happening, the use of a pressure relief valve is required. A relief valve that
directs the flow back to the supply tank is recommended.
The internal relief valve available on LE Series pumps is designed for overpressure protection
only. It is not intended as a flow control device or for any similar use. Continuous operation of
the relief valve will result in excessive heat buildup within the pump cavity which could cause
serious internal damage. Make certain the adjusting screw of the relief valve is located on the
suction side of the pump.
Unless otherwise specified at the time of order, all LEV pumps are supplied with the standard
spring, with a range of 55-120 psi (40-70 in the 5LE), set to provide full bypass relief at 55 psi.
To adjust the relief setting within the range of a given spring’s capability:
If an internal relief valve has not been supplied with the pump some other means of protection
must be utilized. These include in-line safety relief valves, pressure shutdown switches or other
similar devices.
Strainer Protection
Strainers are used to remove contaminated particles from the fluid system and extend pump life.
Every pump should be protected from these particles by a strainer in the suction line.
Strainer size and mesh of screen are determined by the rate of flow and viscosity of the fluid.
Consult the strainer manufacturer for recommendations.
Never use a strainer with a built-in automatic by-pass on the suction line set to open under 30”
Hg. vacuum.
Install the strainer according to the designated direction of flow, locating it so that it is accessible
for servicing. Use a duplex type strainer when shutdown during service is not possible.
Provide a vacuum gauge in the suction line for determining when the strainer requires cleaning.
Make certain strainer baskets are properly reinforced so as not to collapse under 30” Hg.

Disassembly of Seal
The seal assembly in LA and LE Series pumps can be changed without disassembly of the rest
of the pump.
• Place the pump in a vise with the shaft facing up so that one jaw grips across the two ports.
Do not tighten excessively as the pump housing may be distorted.
• Inspect the shaft at the keyway, flat or tang. Any burrs will interfere with removal of the
housing plug and bearing assembly.
• Remove the housing plug with a face-type spanner wrench, available from Tuthill as part
number 0L 506.
• Remove the seal from the shaft. The rubber boot will be bonded to the shaft, so it is
necessary to push down on the seal to break this bond. Grasp the metal outer shell with any
suitable device and pull the seal assembly upward. Remove the spring and washer.
V1.2 7 of 12 04/01/2009

Service Manual # 11
• Models 30LA through 1LA and models 30LE through 1LE have a snap ring on the shaft to
back up the seal assembly. Do not remove this snap ring unless you are completely
disassembling the pump. Models 2LA, 2LE and 5LE do not have a snap ring. A step on the
shaft is used as the seal backup.
• Remove the stationary seal face from the housing plug by pressing out from the opposite
side.
• If damaged, remove the O ring from the OD of the housing plug.
Disassembly of Pump
The seal assembly must be removed before the pump can be disassembled.
• Remove the snap ring from the shaft on all models except 2LA, 2LE and 5LE.
• Mark the cover and housing of the pump for proper re-assembly.
• Remove cover screws, cover, idler and rotor from the housing.
Inspection
Check the pump housing, rotor, idler gear. idler pin and cover for wear and chipped or broken
teeth.
The housing bore and rotor OD may be checked for wear by positioning the rotor in the housing
and checking for clearance in the bearing. The shaft must turn freely without any detectable side
play. Any side play will require replacement of the housing and/or rotor. If either of these two
parts must be replaced, it is economically advisable to replace the entire pump.
Assembly of Pump
• Clean all parts thoroughly using great care to eliminate all dirt.
• Install the rotor in the pump housing.
• Apply the gasket to the cover. Use a new gasket if the old one is damaged. (Models 30LA,
30LE and 5LE are also supplied with an O ring in the cover. Replace if damaged.)
• Place the idler gear on the pin in the cover assembly.
• Place the cover assembly with gear on the pump, aligning the matching marks for proper
location.
• Install the cover screws. Tighten gradually, alternating from a screw on one side to a screw
on the opposite side.
• Install the snap ring on the shaft (except models 2LA, 2LE and 5LE).
Assembly of Seal
• Clean all parts thoroughly using great care to eliminate all dirt.
• Oil the shaft with a suitable lubricating oil. (If the pump has an EPR seal, apply a silicon
based lubricant instead.)
• Apply the appropriate lubricant to the inside of the new seal assembly.

Service Manual # 11
• Use tapered plastic sleeve, available from Tuthill as part number 1LPF 531 7010.
• Lubricate the sleeve.
• Place seal assembly on the sleeve. The tapered end of the sleeve fits into the spring
end of the seal assembly.
• Place the slotted end of the sleeve on a bench. Press down on the carbon face of
the seal with your fingers and slide the seal to about the midpoint on the sleeve.
• Place the slotted end of the sleeve over the tang on the pump shaft. Line up the
outside diameters of the sleeve and shaft by eye.
• Push seal down with your fingers so that it passes from the sleeve to a position
approximately halfway down the shaft.
• Press the stationary face into the housing plug. The lapped surface must be up. Protect this
lapped surface by covering it with a piece of paper when pressing down on the face. Use
your fingers for this operation.
• Place a new O ring on the OD of the housing plug, if required, and lubricate.
• Lubricate the carbon face liberally.
• Re-assemble the housing plug into position over the pump shaft. Do not nick the seal face
by hitting the pump shaft. Tighten the housing plug with the spanner wrench. The seal will
automatically be positioned by this operation.
• If the pump is equipped with a ball bearing (modification K), press the bearing onto the shaft.
Press on the bearing inner race with a suitable sleeve. Do not hammer into position or press
on the bearing outer race.
• Check pump for free rotation by turning the shaft with a suitable wench. There will be a
definite resistance to turning because of the seal load. The pump must turn freely without
binding.
Changing Rotation
LA and LE Series pumps are bi-directional and will work equally well in either direction with no
modification. However, if outfitted with an internal relief valve (model LEV), these pumps become
rotational. Rotation cannot be changed in the field unless the housing is replaced.
To change the location of the suction port on a pump outfitted with Tuthill’s unique automatic
reversing feature (models RLA and RLE):
Note: Location of the suction port cannot be changed in the field on RLEV pumps unless the
housing is replaced.

Pump leaks.
Material Returns
If it becomes necessary to return a pump to the factory, a Return Goods Authorization (RGA)
must be obtained from either your local Authorized Distributor or our Chicago plant. No RGA can
be issued until a completed Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) has been forwarded to our
Chicago plant and return of the pump approved.
• Tuthill pumps are precision built and must be handled with care.
• Pumps must be drained of all fluid and the ports plugged to prevent foreign material
from getting into the pump.
• Pumps must be packaged securely to prevent damage while in transit.

Fig. 1.6 Tank-mounted unit, LE/LT/LF2, -3, -5, vertical Fig. 1.7 Tank-mounted unit, three-cylinder
receiver (standard receiver is 250 l)
- For LE/LF/LT5 up to -10, LT15 up to -20: the Compressor Block as described above, with flanged-on
electric motor (M) and solenoid valve (Y1-Fig. 1.5).
A silencing canopy (1-Fig. 1.13) is available as an option. The canopy has a hinged top to allow easy
access for maintenance.
The Base-mounted unit (Fig. 1.8) is a fully operational unit with air pressure switch and on/off switches
mounted on a frame (no air receiver). A silencing hood can be added as an option.
LE, LF and LT Trolley units (Figs. 1.15 and 1.16) are mobile compressors. They are equipped with either
a directly flanged electric motor (LE/LF/LT ETROL - Fig. 1.15) or a petrol engine (LE/LF/LT PETROL - Fig.
1.16). The compressors have two outlet connections:
- a connection for compressed air at working pressure
- a connection for compressed air at reduced pressure via a pressure regulator
The Full-Feature compressor is a Tank-mounted compressor additionally provided with an FX dryer and
DD/PD filters.
Air drawn through air filter (AF) and inlet silencer (1) into cylinders (3) is compressed, then discharged
through cooler piping (4) and (6) and check valve (CV) into air receiver (AR).
1.2.2 LE10 60 Hz, LE15, -20, LF7, -10 and LT (Fig. 1.11)
Air drawn through air filter (AF) and inlet silencer (1) into LP (low-pressure) cylinder(s) (7) is compressed,
then discharged to HP (high-pressure) cylinder (8) via intercooler (10).
The air is further compressed and discharged through cooler piping (6) and check valve (CV) into air
receiver (AR).

Operation
Air pressure switch (MDR) opens and closes its contacts at pre-set pressures. During loaded operation,
the contacts are closed: the motor is running.
When the pressure in the air receiver reaches the pre-set maximum pressure, the contacts as well as
pressure release valve (2) are opened. The motor stops, the air at the delivery side of the compressor is
vented to atmosphere and check valve (CV) closes to prevent venting of the receiver.
When the pressure in the air receiver decreases to the pre-set minimum pressure, the contacts of the air
pressure switch close and pressure release valve (2) closes. The motor restarts and compressed air is
supplied to the receiver again.
1.3.2 LE/LT5 up to -20, LF5 up to -10, each with Y/D starter (Fig. 1.11)
The regulating system includes:
- Electric cubicle (11)
- Air pressure switch (MDR)
- On/off switch (5)
- Solenoid valve (Y1)
- Unloader (UA) with integrated check valve (CV)
Operation
Air pressure switch (MDR) opens and closes its contacts at pre-set pressures. During loaded operation,
the contacts are closed: the motor is running and solenoid valve (Y1) is energized preventing the
compressed air from flowing to unloader (UA).
When the pressure in the air receiver reaches the pre-set maximum pressure, the contacts of pressure
switch (MDR) open. The motor stops and solenoid valve (Y1) is de-energized. Compressed air from the
receiver will flow via the solenoid valve to plunger (12) which causes unloading valve (UV) to open. The
air at the delivery side of the compressor is blown through silencer (9) to atmosphere and check valve
(CV) closes to prevent venting of the receiver.
When the pressure in the air receiver decreases to the pre-set minimum pressure, the contacts of the
pressure switch close. The motor restarts and, after switching over from star to delta, solenoid valve (Y1)
is energized. Control air from the unloader plunger chamber is vented to atmosphere. Unloading valve
(UV) closes and compressed air is supplied to the receiver again.

Fig. 1.13 Optional silencing hood Fig. 1.14 Pack compressor with optional silencing
hood
Operation
Pilot valve (RV) opens and closes at pre-set pressures. During loaded operation, pilot valve (RV) is
closed preventing the compressed air from flowing to unloader (UA).
When the pressure in the pulsation dampers (PD) reaches the pre-set maximum pressure, pilot valve (RV)
will open. Compressed air from the pulsation dampers will flow to plunger (12) which causes unloading
valve (UV) to open. The air at the delivery side of the compressor is blown through silencer (9) to
atmosphere and check valve (CV) closes to prevent venting of the pulsation dampers. The compressor
runs unloaded.
When the pressure in the pulsation dampers decreases to the pre-set minimum pressure, the pilot valve
closes. Control air from the unloader plunger chamber is vented to atmosphere. Unloading valve (UV)
closes and compressed air is supplied to the pulsation dampers again.

3 Operating instructions
Safety precautions
The operator must apply all relevant safety precautions, including those mentioned in this book.
If the compressor has not run for the past 6 months (at initial start-up check the date on the data plate), it
is strongly recommended to improve the lubrication of the compressor element: drain the oil, refill the
compressor with the same oil while turning the crankshaft.
1. For Tank-mounted units, remove the transport brackets from underneath the compressor.
2. Check the electrical installation, which must be in accordance with the instructions given in section
2.3.
3. LE/LT are filled with PAO (polyalphaolefine) compressor oil. Check that the oil level is still near the
top of the red circle of sight-glass (SG-Fig. 1.3). Top up, if necessary.
4. Switch on the voltage. Start the motor.
5. On three-cylinder compressors, check for correct direction of rotation as indicated by the arrow on the
fan housing. If the rotation direction is wrong, switch off the voltage and reverse two of the input line
connections.
6. Check the operation of the air pressure switch. See section 5.4 or 5.5. Check the operation of pilot
valve (RV) on LE/LF/LT Trolley. See section 5.6.
3.2 Starting
LE/LF/LT
1. On LE/LT, check the oil level, which must be near the top of the red circle of sight-glass (SG-Fig. 1.3).
The minimum level is the lower part of the red circle.
2. Switch on the voltage.
3. Move switch (4-Fig. 5.6) to position I or push switch (S1-Fig. 2.26) to position I.
4. Open the air outlet valve (AV-Figs. 1.4/1.6).
5. Regularly drain condensate (Dm-Figs. 1.4/1.7).
Warning
Never move the compressor after plugging in.
5. Move switch (4-Fig. 5.6) to position I or push switch (S1-Fig. 2.26) to position I.

3.3 Stopping
LE/LF/LT
1. Move switch (4-Fig. 5.6) to position 0 or push switch (S1-Fig. 2.26) to position 0.
2. Close air outlet valve (AV-Figs. 1.4/1.6).
3. Switch off the voltage.
If a compressor with pressure switch with pressure release valve stops during operation through a power
failure, the pressure from the air receiver must be released by moving the switch on top of the air pressure
switch to 0 to prevent the compressor from restarting against back-pressure when the power becomes live
again.
LE/LF/LT Trolley
1. Set pilot valve (RV-Fig. 1.16) in the unload position by turning the red handle 90 degrees (see section
5.6).
2. On LE/LF/LT Trolley with electrical motor, move switch (4-Fig. 5.6) to position 0 or push switch
(S1-Fig. 2.26) to position 0.
If the compressor is not required for immediate further use, switch off the voltage at the main circuit
breaker and unplug.
3. On LE/LF/LT Trolley with petrol engine:
Stop the engine, consult the engine "Owner's manual".
4. Close the air outlet valves (AV1/2-Fig. 1.12 and 1.16). Depressurize and disconnect the air lines from
the outlet valves.

The adjustment of the maximum or stopping pressure of the compressor is effected by means of the air
pressure switch. The switch also controls the pressure difference between the maximum pressure
(stopping pressure) and that at which compression is resumed (starting pressure).
Caution
- Adjust the air pressure switch while it is pressurized.
- Switch off the voltage before removing the cover of the switch; reinstall it after an adjustment has
been made and before the voltage is switched on again.
Adjustment
The maximum pressure is controlled by adjusting screw (4). Turn the screw clockwise to raise the
maximum or stopping pressure, anti-clockwise to lower it.
The pressure difference is adjusted by means of screw (5). To reduce the difference between the
stopping and starting pressures, i.e. increase the starting pressure, turn the screw anti-clockwise. To
increase the pressure difference, turn the screw clockwise. The adjustment range is shown on the
diagrams (Fig. 5.6).

The switch allows the operator to select the stopping pressure and the pressure difference between
stopping and starting pressures. The stopping and starting pressures are the opening and closing
pressures of the switch.
The stopping pressure is controlled by adjusting screw (2). Turn the screw clockwise to raise the stopping
pressure, anti-clockwise to lower it.
The pressure difference between starting and stopping is adjusted by means of adjusting screw (3). The
adjustment range is given in Fig. 5.8. Turn the screw anti-clockwise to reduce the pressure difference,
clockwise to increase it.

The adjustment of the maximum or unloading pressure of the compressor is effected by means of pilot
valve (RV-Fig. 1.16). The valve also controls the difference between the preset maximum pressure and
that at which compression is resumed.
Unload mechanism
The pilot valve is equipped with a hand-operated unload mechanism: by turning the red handle (1) 90
degrees, the plunger of the valve will be lifted, releasing the spring force. The air pressure from the
pulsation dampers will force down unloader plunger (12-Fig. 1.12), the compressor will run unloaded. By
turning handle (1) 90 degrees further, the plunger returns to its original position so that the pilot valve will
again unload and load the compressor at the pre-set pressures.

Instruction book 242 of 761
Replace the valve if it does not open at the correct pressure. No adjustments are allowed.
Testing
Testing as described below shall only be carried out by competent personnel.
5.8 Relief valve (8-Fig. 1.1) on LF7, -10, LE10 up to -20 and LT
The relief valve protects the LP side of the compressor. No adjustments are allowed.
Testing
Testing as described below shall only be carried out by competent personnel.
Remove the relief valve and fit a 3/8 inch B.S.P. plug instead. Remove the safety valve from the air
receiver and replace it by the relief valve. The latter can then be tested at increasing air receiver pressure
after the compressor has been started with open air outlet valve. If the valve has not opened at the
pressure specified in section 7, it must be replaced by a new one. Reinstall the valves in their respective
places after testing.

SKP25…U.. Pressure Regulating Gas Valve Actuators Technical Instructions
Document Number 155-752
November 1, 2007
Operation The electro-hydraulic actuator consists of a cylinder filled with oil, a piston containing an
electric oscillating pump, and a relief system. When power is supplied to the actuator,
(See Figure 1)
the relief system closes, and the pump moves oil from the reservoir into the pressure
chamber. This action causes the piston to move downward in the cylinder, opening the
Safety Shut-off Function gas valve. When power to the actuator is interrupted, the relief system opens and the
gas valve closes in less than 0.8 seconds.
A position indicator, visible through the transparent portion of the terminal cover, shows
the entire stroke range of the actuator. A light, which is visible through the lower left
transparent portion of the terminal cover, indicates when the actuator receives power.
An optional, non-adjustable SPDT proof of closure over travel switch signals the closed
position after the gas valve has closed. An optional SPDT auxiliary switch is adjustable
between 40% and 100% of the stroke. The adjustment screw and scale are located on
the right side in the terminal box, and are visible through the transparent portion of the
terminal cover.

Constant Pressure The outlet gas pressure sensing line is connected to the 1/4“ NPT port marked GAS on
Regulation Function the back of the pressure regulator housing. The outlet pressure acts on the regulator
diaphragm. The diaphragm is opposed by an adjustable setpoint spring force, which
(See Figure 1)
represents the desired gas pressure value. The movement of the diaphragm modulates
a hydraulic bypass valve connecting the pressure chamber to the hydraulic fluid
reservoir. When the outlet gas pressure is lower than the desired value, the bypass
valve is closed by the movement of the diaphragm, causing the actuator piston to open
the gas valve. The opposite occurs when the outlet gas pressure is higher than the
desired value; the diaphragm moves to open the bypass causing the actuator piston to
close the gas valve. The movement of the actuator piston stops once the outlet gas
pressure is equal to the setpoint. In this position the bypass valve is partially open so
that the oil flow supplied by the pump is identical to the return flow. Unlike the
conventional direct acting regulators, the SKP25… servo operated regulating system
displays virtually zero droop (offset) across the turndown range.
Air/Gas Ratio Regulator The SKP25.0… models may be applied as a 1:1 air/gas ratio regulator or as a zero
Function governor. For either application, the standard spring has to be replaced with the black
AGA28 spring, which allows to bias the gas pressure between 0.4" and –0.4" WC.
The low bias model SKP25.011U1P air/gas ratio regulator is designed as 1:1 air/gas
ratio regulator which allows to bias the gas pressure between 0” and −0.6” WC. with the
factory installed lavender spring. The actuator has a built in proof of closure switch.

with the factory installed white spring. The actuator has a built in proof of closure switch.
For air/gas ratio regulation, the air pressure sensing line must be connected to the port
marked “AIR".

NOTES:
2. To adjust the gas pressure or bias, remove the brass cap in the center of the
regulator cover.
3. To increase the downstream gas pressure, turn the adjustment screw clockwise.
5. When using the double valve VGD…, mount the SKP2… on the downstream valve.
6. To avoid oscillation, do not oversize the VG… valve body. (See Technical
Instructions, P/N 155-512P25.)
Installation WARNING:
• Personal injury or loss of life may occur if procedures are not followed
as specified.
• All installations must be performed by qualified personnel only.
• Do not pull the actuator shaft.
• If minimum gas pressure detection is required, the pressure switch must
be mounted upstream of the regulating gas valve to ensure sufficient
gas pressure before starting the burner. If maximum gas pressure
detection is required the pressure switch must be mounted downstream.
• The AGA66 gasket must be installed between the actuator and the gas
valve body to provide NEMA 3, 3R, and 4 protection rating for VGG…
and VGD… valves.
• The gas pressure sensing line must be at least 1/4-inch inside diameter.
• The gas pressure sensing line connection must be flush with the inner
wall of the gas pipe in order to sense turbulence free pressure. The gas
sensing line connection should be located at least five pipe diameters
downstream of the valve, elbow, coupling, or other flow disturbing fitting.
Do not use the taps on the valve body for the gas sensing line
connection since these locations typically have strong turbulence.
The pressure connection pipe should be as short as possible to allow
the regulator to react to sudden changes.
• The SKP25… actuator is directly coupled to the VG… series valve body by four
pre-mounted 4 mm Allen key screws.
• The square mounting flange can be rotated in steps of 90o to provide four different
mounting positions. The SKP25… actuator can be mounted in any position with the
diaphragm vertical, except upside down.
• The actuator can be mounted or replaced while the valve body is under pressure.
• The SKP25… actuator has two knock-outs for the installation of 1/2”-14 NPSM
conduit connections.
• When conduit routing is connected, flexible conduit must be used.
• Liquid tight conduit must be used in combination with AGA66 to provide NEMA 3,
3R, and 4 protection.
• The terminal marked GND, located above the wiring terminals, must be connected
to the electrical ground.
NOTE: Wiring must meet all relevant electrical codes.
Start-up The gas outlet pressure setpoint adjustment screw is located at the center of the
regulator cover. Clockwise rotation of the setpoint adjustment screw increases the outlet
Regulator gas pressure. The hexagonal cap must be tightened after the setpoint screw has been
adjusted and may be sealed from tampering by means of a wire and lead seal. The
outlet gas pressure can be measured at the hose barb at the back of the regulator
housing. Turn the screw 1/2 turn counterclockwise before attaching the hose and tighten
the screw after removing the hose.
The SKP25.0… models are available with three interchangeable setpoint springs for an
adjustable range outlet pressure range of 0” to 100” WC. The factory-installed unpainted
spring ranges from 0” to 8.5” WC. Other springs need to be ordered separately. (See
Table 2.)
The SKP25.411U… models are available with two interchangeable setpoint springs for
an adjustable range of 1.5 to 20 psi. The factory installed yellow spring ranges from 1.5
to 10 psi. The red spring (AGA23) for an adjustable range of 8.5 to 20 psi needs to be
ordered separately.
Air/Gas Ratio For SKP25.0… models used as 1:1 air/gas ratio regulator connect the air sensing line to
Regulators the port marked AIR and replace the factory installed spring with the black spring
(AGA28) which needs to be ordered separately. The gas bias can be adjusted at the
center of the regulator housing. For bias pressure ranges of all 1:1 air/gas ratio
regulators see Operation, Specifications or Tables 1 and 2.
WARNING:
When firing at maximum burner capacity, ensure that the SKP25… /VG… is
not in the fully open position. If this is the case, either the gas valve is sized
too small or the gas supply pressure is too low.
Wiring and Switch • The actuator is equipped with spring-loaded terminals for 14 AWG wires.
Adjustment • The actuator has two line and two neutral terminals.
(See Terminal • Insert one wire into the opening of the terminal while pressing the lever downward
Designations) with a screwdriver or hard object. Make sure that all strands insert into the opening.
• Adjust the auxiliary switch (if provided) according to the wiring diagram on the label
below the terminals (see Figure 3). The adjustment screw and scale are located on
the right side of the terminal box, and are visible through the transparent portion of
the terminal cover.
NOTES:
1. The auxiliary switch is adjustable between 40% and 100% of the stroke. The
factory setting is at 40%.
2. The auxiliary switch must not be used for proof of closure detection or other safety
interlock functions.

bulb from physical damage or to permit
removal of the bulb without draining the
system.
The use of a well will increase the time lag
of the control since the temperature
change of the controlled medium must be
transmitted through the wall of the well
and then the bulb. Thus when wells are
used, it is important that the well dimen-
sion “C” be greater than or equal to the
bulb length “B” to insure that all of the

MICRO MODULATION (M M)
To ensure maximum efficiency in the operation of any boiler, two requirements are of paramount
importance, the first being that the air to fuel ratio is kept to the minimum to ensure complete
combustion within the limitations of the combustion head design and that these settings once arrived
at are infinately repeatable to an incredibly high degree of accuracy. The second requirement should
be that the target temperature or pressure of the boiler is monitored by the combustion system and
that at all times exactly the right amount of fuel and air is fire to achieve the target value and that
at no time irrespective of load change is this target exceeded or fallen short of.
The inherent hysterisis of all mechanical systems that have traditionally involved cams and linkages
to characterise the fuel air ratio have made this sort of accuracy impossible. The accuracy of response
of fuel input to the monitored target temperature/pressure of the boiler has meant that the target
value set by the operator has at most times been exceeded or fallen short of.
The Micro Modulation system provides an easily programmable and flexible means of optimising
combustion quality throughout the load requirement range of the boiler/burner unit whilst ensuring
the temperature is accurate to within 1 deg C (2 deg. F.) and pressure to within 1.5 p.s.i. The maximum
error in degrees angular rotation between the two servo motors at any position in the load range is 0.1
degrees.
At the heart of the system is the control module which contains the micro computer and power supply.
The display panel features touch sensitive key pad entry data, readouts and status indicators, all
protected beneath a tamper-proof transparent plastic cover. The M.M. system shows angular position
of air damper motor and fuel valve. “Required” and “Actual” temperatures are displayed.
Interfaced with the control module by means of high speed solid state switching are up to three dual
wound servo motors. One motor is responsible for positioning the air damper and the other operates
a fuel valve by which it is possible to meter the input of gas, oil, or dual fuel.
The position of each servo motor is monitored by a voltage dividing system enabling digitalised
position information to be encoded into the control modules memory. The relative positions of the
air and fuel motors are constantly checked by the system at the rate of 50 times per second.
This new system of burner control achieves ‘Locked On’ near stoichiometric air fuel mixing throughout
the fuel input range of the boiler while maintaining exact temperature or pressure target values.
The load control incorporates user variable P.I.D. values.
Operating in conjunction with the above control specification is a full three term infinitely adjustable
P.I.D. load control package. This ensures that the control of set point temperature is accurate to within
1 deg C (2 deg F.) and pressure to within 0.1 bar (1.5 P.S.I.) Software for temperature or pressure is a
user variable option, also various ranges of temperature and pressure are selectable by the user.
The Micro Modulation (M.M.) module is the basic building block of the M.M./E.G.A. system. A
complete system based on the Mk6 MM incorporates all of the following control facilities and features:

M.M./E.G.A. Technical Manual Overview: E.G.A.
With the E.G.A. trim system it is possible to expand the M.M. so that it will measure and display O2, CO2,
CO and exhaust temperature, together with boiler efficiency: At the same time inflicting minute
corrections on the air damper position to ensure that the originally entered commissioning data is
adhered to, irrespective of variations in stack pressure or barometric conditions. As standard, outputs
are available which can be connected with appropriate interfacing to an energy management computer
to track and record the information that is generated by the E.G.A. system. To expand the M.M. system
to the above E.G.A. specification the additional sampling unit and exhaust gas sampling probe must be
purchased. The M.M./E.G.A. control form is P + I + D feed forward, and interpolates between all entered
data, it also carries error checking self diagnostic software for self identification of system component
or data handling failure.
The system trim function is achieved by every paired value for air and fuel having stored values for O2,
CO2 and CO at the commissioned value. Deviations from these ideal values are held, this data is
integrated and expressed as a degree angular value, so that an exact amount of air damper trim may
be inflicted at any time to return the system to it’s commissioned value at any load condition.
The E.G.A. can also be fitted with NO and SO2 sensors for monitoring.
All the information available on the E.G.A. can be accessed by one or all three of the following methods:
Options #1 and #3 enable the E.G.A. to be used as a Stand Alone on-line continuous monitoring system.
E.G.A. setup and calibration is carried out via the local display or by a PC using an RS232 serial port.
The Intelligent Boiler Sequencing software, which is included in every M.M./E.G.A. module, further
extends the application possibilities of the system. The objective of this control form is to ensure that
the minimum number of boiler/burner units are in operation at any one time to satisfy the heat
requirement imposed upon the boiler plant, particularly in the case of multi boiler installations.
There are two variations of I.B.S. software that can be selected by the user via the Options procedure.
The first variation relates to heating boilers and the second variation to steam boilers.
A maximum of ten M.M./E.G.A. modules may be interconnected by a two wire screened data cable:
(See interconnection drawing). Any string of modules interconnected as detailed can have one of it’s
number designated No. 1 or lead boiler. This identifying of “lead” boiler is achieved by either of the
following methods:
Once a “lead” boiler has been selected the system works in the following way:
Typically every five minutes the sequencing software in the lead boiler identifies it’s own firing rate by
looking at the position of the fuel valve in the load index and also the maximum heating capacity of the
No 1. “lead” boiler. This information would normally be entered when this boiler/burner unit is
commissioned. Having established percentage firing rate, and maximum heating capacity, the I.B.S.
software calculates the amount of heat being contributed to the system by this boiler. The I.B.S. software
in the “lead” M.M./E.G.A. module then contacts in turn each of the modules connected to this loop
and gathers similar information from each. The “lead” module’s I.B.S. software then calculates the
minimum number of boiler/burner units that need to be operational to satisfy the building load, imposed
upon the plant at that time, and switches the remainder off.
There is a terminal connection on the M.M./E.G.A. module for controlling a two port valve that would
normally be installed in the boiler’s return pipe connection to the common return header. This facility
ensures that boilers that are switched “off line” do not contribute return temperature water to the flow
header thereby diluting the flow temperature to the building: (See relevant data sheets and drawings
showing the control sequence detailed above).
Example:
There are four boilers interconnected as above, each with a heating capacity of 586kW(2MBtu.) In the
event of each boiler firing 440 kW (1.5MBtu) (3/4 of it’s maximum rate), the No. 1 lead boiler would
instruct the No. 4 boiler to shut down and boilers No.s 1, 2 and 3 would adjust their firing rate to
maximum.
In both cases the boilers are contributing 1758kW (6MBtu) to the system but, after intervention of the
I.B.S. sequencing software, three boilers only are carrying the load which is a more fuel efficient method
of operation.
If the building load continued to decrease the three boilers would reach a point where they were each
firing 381kW (1.3MBtu) each. At this point the I.B.S. software would switch off the No. 3 boiler as two
boilers would be capable of generating the 1172kW (4MBtu) required. When the load on the system
increases, the reverse procedure applies, i.e. when, for example, two boilers are firing at near 100%
load and the setpoint temperature on either of the modules is not being achieved, the I.B.S. software
would switch on a third boiler to assist with the generation of the heat requirement. Any boiler can be
nominated “lead” boiler by the connection of an input to the appropriate terminal or by a software
instruction via the D.T.I.
When the I.B.S. software control package is applied to steam boilers, it’s operation is exactly the same
as above but with the additional features and enhancements as explained in the following.
In the case of heating boilers only two states in the control form exist, either on or off. When steam boiler
variation of I.B.S. is optioned there are three states which are controlled sequentially. The first is “on-
line”, this is when the boiler is operating purely under the control of the M.M./E.G.A. module's internal
P.I.D. load controller.
The second state is “stand-by”: In this case the boiler is operated at a reduced pressure setpoint, e.g. if
the on-line boiler or boilers are set at a setpoint of 7 bar (100 p.s.i.) the stand-by boiler controls at a
setpoint of 5 bar (72 p.s.i.). In this way if the load increases the stand-by boiler can begin to contribute
steam quickly. The reduced setpoint is a user variable option in the same way as the normal control
pressure setpoint.
The third state is “off-line”, this is with the burner shut down and the boiler is cold. If the load on the boiler
house increases, this boiler would move into a “Stand By” condition.
Apart from the variations detailed above, the steam sequencing works in precisely the same way as the
heating boiler sequencing: The sequencing software package ensures that at all times the minimum
number of boilers are operational to satisfy the load imposed on the boiler house.
By means of our Data Transfer Interface (D.T.I.) module, all the operational data, stored within each
of up to ten M.M. modules, can be collected by the D.T.I. for transmission by direct RS232 data link
to a local terminal, screen and printer or Building Management System (B.M.S.). This facility can also
be achieved remotely via modem/telecom link up. This cost effective system more than meets the
requirements of today’s E.M.S. and B.M.S. systems in providing all the necessary operational and alarm
status and control of boiler plant to achieve its maximum energy efficient operation.
Up to a maximum of ten M.M. modules (one per burner) can be connected to one D.T.I. module by
means of a series RS485 data link. The information gathered by the D.T.I. from each M.M. module is
then available for transmission to the E.M.S. or B.M.S. via either an RS232 data link or modem/telecom
data link.
Remote on/off control of the burners can also be achieved as well as adjustment of the temperature or
pressure setpoints and selection of sequence lead boiler. To accommodate the status information from
other plant related equipment, the D.T.I. can handle upto 160 direct mains voltage inputs, 80 volt free
outputs, 60 4-20mA inputs and 60 4-20mA outputs. Typical remote E.M.S., B.M.S. information and
operational facilities that can be achieved are as follows, but are subject to the particular site and
management system requirements that are to be accommodated.
The capability exists within the standard D.T.I. software for the end user to label any mains voltage signal
input as an "Alarm" condition. When labelled as an "Alarm" condition the system can 'autodial' out onto
the general telephone network to a word pager and/or a remote office.

ADDITIONAL MODULES
1. O2 Interface.
Where an existing O2 measuring device is fitted the O2 interface module can receive a 4-20mA signal
from the O2 probe and a 0-10V signal from the thermocouple mounted in the stack for use by the M.M.
for one parameter O2 trim. Values for CO2, CO, Exhaust Gas Temperature and Efficiency will be
displayed as 0.
2. EGA Splitter.
On water tube or common furnace boilers it is possible to use one E.G.A. unit to sample the common
flue gases and split the signal for use by two M.M. modules. Trim is inflicted on both burners based on
the common products of combustion and will therefore not optimise the combustion performance of
each burner.
The Mk.6, mini Mk.6 and mini Mk.5 EVO M.M. units each contain an Infra Red Upload/Download
port which enables all the commissioning data from a single unit to be downloaded onto a PC using
Autoflame IR lead and software. Data can be stored on disk. Stored backup data can be uploaded in
to the M.M.
Information includes:
1. Site name, Engineer, Boiler Type, Data, Software revisions, M.M. identification number.
2. All channel positions entered during commissioning for each fuel.
3. E.G.A. values O2%, CO2%, COppm, NOppm, SO2ppm, Ambient Temperature, Exhaust
temperature, Delta T, Efficiency % for commissioned, and also autotrim values of O2,
CO2 and CO at each position.
4. All Option number setting, default- * indicates options changed.
5. All Parameter numbers, setting, default- * indicates Parameters changed.
6. Flow Metering - if entered.
7. Lockout/error history (last 16 events).
8. Water level commissioned data and set-up values.
9. First Out annunciation labels.
10. Bottom blowdown timings and surface blowdown settings.
which can then be used to generate a hard copy Commissioning Report and be stored on disk for
future reference.
E.G.A.
The E.G.A. is fitted with a local display. All set-up, configuration and calibration tasks (calibration
code and test gas calibration) can be carried out with the use of this display and facia buttons. Each
cell is provided with its own unique calibration number which alleviates the need for costly on site
calibration with test gas etc. It is also possible to use the RS232 serial port on the E.G.A. for connection
to a P.C. to carry out the above procedures.
This unit has 6 individually programmable outputs and 6 individually programmable inputs providing
a means of converting items of data within the M.M./E.G.A. system in 4-20mA signals.
The unit can be supplied with outputs readily configured or with the use of the DTI lead and Windows
Terminal mode software the outputs are user configurable.
Additionally, the A I/O can be connected directly to a Mini Mk5. In this case, the A I/O uses terminals
48 and 49 of the M.M. therefore neither Sequencing nor the D.T.I. may be used with the A I/O.
Channel 1 input can be used as the Remote setpoint change.

Micro Modulation Introduction
2.17.2.1 Introduction
Important Note: Prior to commissioning, the fuel and air servomotors must be calibrated to ensure
that the position of the valves and dampers are corresponding to the potentiometer feed-back signal as
displayed on the Mk7 screen/display, i.e. when the valve is fully closed, the Mk7 displays zero degrees.
The fundamental idea of the system is to set a fuel valve position and then
set a corresponding air damper position. Care must be taken when
adjusting the fuel and air positions so as not to create any unstable or
hazardous combustion conditions, e.g. moving the fuel valve to the open
position without increasing the air damper position. Improper use may
result in property damage, serious physical injury or death.
If the system being commissioned is an M.M., without E.G.A., then a combustion monitor is required to
check the exhaust gases. If the system does have an E.G.A., then a combustion monitor should not be
necessary as the E.G.A. performs all normal exhaust gas measurements. When burning oil a smoke
detection device is necessary to check that the smoke generated is within limits.
Ideally to implement commissioning as quickly as possible arrange for a substantial load on the boiler.
The commissioning procedure can be interrupted due to excess temperature or pressure, causing the
burner is called back on the system starts up automatically and commissioning can proceed from where
and CH2 positions must always be less than the ones previously entered. However with CH3 - CH6 it
is possible to move the position above or below the previously entered point.
On a newly installed system the following procedures should be carried out as listed.
1. Check all interconnecting wiring between the M.M. and external components is correct.
2. Set options and parameters required (refer to sections 2.17.2.4 and 2.17.2.5).
3. Set up positioning motors.
4. Program fuel/air positions.
If during commissioning the burner turns off, due to the 'running interlock' opening or a lockout, it is
possible to carry on commissioning from the last entered position. This is possible as long as the HIGH
position has been entered, and the fuel selected is not changed. When the 'running interlock' is closed
again, or the lockout is cleared, the system will purge automatically. Commissioning will then be
resumed at Step 7. Automatically the system bypasses the HIGH position entry and resumes the
commissioning procedure from the last entered INTER position . Effectively commissioning can now be
carried on from Step 12.
If continues to flash when pressed, this indicates that the running interlock (terminal #53) is
not made, there is an E.G.A. error or the water level is not commissioned (if using the Autoflame water
level control). Please refer to the fault finding section 2.17.9.
Press to display the fuel selected, actual value and required setpoint. (The required setpoint
will be displayed but cannot be adjusted during commissioning. During commissioning the internal stat
remains made all the time regardless of the actual value). Note: Ensure that the high limit stat is set
correctly and wired into the non-recycling interlock.
The OPEN and CLOSE are now stored during commissioning. This means if a lockout occurs upon the
first burner light off during commissioning there is now no need to re-enter the open and close positions.
The burner will restart once the lockout has been reset and go straight to purge, once purge is complete
you are asked to again set the start position. However, if power is completely removed from the system
then these positions are not retained in the memory and the open and close positions will need to be
reset.
CH1, CH2 etc refers to the rows of buttons with CH1 at the top.
1. Ensure 'stat' control circuit is closed (refer to 2.17.6.1), i.e. ensure that there is an input on
terminal #53.
3. Enter Access Code. Adjust the numbers using the CH1 and CH2 buttons.
When numbers are set, press (CLOSE l.e.d. steady, ENTER flashes)
On this password screen, it is necessary to set both CH1 and CH3. These are both set to #3 if the
Autoflame water level system is to be active. Alternatively, these are both set to #7 for Mk7 use
without the water level system. It is also necessary to set the CH5 value for First Out Annunciation.
Set this to #0 to disable the First Out Annunciation, #1 to display the First Out Annunciation (but
not to lock out) and to #2 to enable First Out Annunciation, i.e. burner locks out.
Then press .
5. The display indicates angular position of servo motors. After the internal checks are made (CLOSE
Note : No error checking of the servomotors is enabled at this stage. Therefore, be careful
not to drive the servomotors/dampers beyond any mechanical limitations that may be
present on the damper/valve.
6. Use CH1 to CH4 (as optioned) buttons to set positioning motors to 0.0.
8. Use CH1 to CH4 buttons to set positioning motors to their fully open positions.
This is nominally 90.0 for gas butterfly valves and burner air dampers, but may be set to less
than 90.0 degrees if there are mechanical stops/limits.
**WARNING** Do not enter START position before reducing fuel input. This
could result in a potentially dangerous situation, serious physical damage or
death.
10. Use CH1 to CH6 to set positioning motors to positions where ignition can
take place.
Note: Ensure that the main fuel valve is manually isolated until the pilot flame has been
successfully established. Once this has been successfully established, gradually
introduce the main fuel supply to the burner observing the flame stability.
Continue to introduce fuel until the main fuel valve is fully open providing safe
and stable combustion is maintained. If the combustion is not safe and stable then
adjust the fuel/air ratio accordingly.
13. Use CH1 to CH6 to set maximum firing input (it is not possible to exceed the OPEN
position values). Always increase the air first followed by the fuel angular positions.
Note: Only INTER flashes if the number of INTER positions entered so far is less than or equal
to three, thereafter INTER and START flash.
16. Use CH1 to CH6 (as optioned) to reduce the positions. Always reduce the fuel
17. Press . At this point all commissioning data is permanently stored. (After a short
18. Press to set the system into normal modulating mode and to store the
commissioning program.
Note : If the burner has been previously commissioned then once RUN is pressed then
this will overwrite the previous data for the fuel selected. Failure to hit RUN will
result in the commissioning data not being stored within the unit. If this is done, a
loss of power will result in a loss of data for the fuel selected.
Autoflame supply three standard sizes of positioning motors - small, large and industrial. All can be used
for positioning fuel and air dampers.
Both types can be configured to drive clockwise or counter clockwise to open a valve or damper.
Viewing the shaft end-on, from the potentiometer end, all positioning motors drive in a clockwise
direction if power is applied between the LIVE and CW terminals, and counter clockwise if the power
is applied between the LIVE and CCW terminal.
The operation of fuel valves and air dampers is often such that they open in a clockwise direction. If
the operation needs to be reversed, it is necessary to swop various wiring connections between the
M.M. and the positioning motor(s). An example of reversing the operation of a fuel valve is shown in
figure B, section 2.17.2.3.4. Figure A shows the connections for normal operation.
Set Up Procedure
Before a burner is fired it is essential to set up each Micro Modulation positioning motor.
Usually control valves/air dampers that the positioning motors drive, move through up to 90 degrees
angular. The M.M. system has the ability to drive valves through up to 96 degrees. Please contact
Autoflame technical department for advice on applications for ranges greater than 90 degrees.
All readings displayed on the M.M. are in degrees angular. It is necessary to adjust the potentiometer
in the positioning motor assembly so that the M.M. reads 0.0 when the relevant valve/damper is at its
fully closed position. The technician must physically check the mechanical position of the dampers and
valves. DO NOT ASSUME THEY HAVE BEEN PREVIOUSLY SET CORRECTLY.
To set up a positioning motor, first ensure option 12 is set to 0, (this prevents E.G.A. errors from allowing
continuation). Put the M.M. into the commissioning mode so that the CLOSE l.e.d. is steady and the
ENTER l.e.d. flashes (see section on commissioning). By doing this it is possible to position the valve/
damper mechanically by using the appropriate up and down buttons.
Use the up/down buttons for the relevant air damper to position the air damper to its physically closed
position. Loosen the two tamper proof screws just sufficiently to enable the potentiometer to rotate.
Rotate the potentiometer clockwise or counter clockwise until the relevant display window reads 0.0.
Tighten the two tamper proof screws gently until the potentiometer is secure. Do not overtighten the
screws. Check that the display still reads 0.0. If not repeat the adjustment process.
On Autoflame gas, oil and gas/oil combination valves it is necessary to remove the positioning motor.
Manually position the oil/gas valve slot to its closed position. Observe the position of the drive pin on
the positioning motor. Use the relevant up/down buttons to position the pin so that when the positioning
motor is reassembled to the valve it is in line with the slot. Reassemble the positioning motor to the valve,
loosen the two tamper proof screws and proceed to adjust the potentiometer position until 0.0 is
displayed. Use the external position indicator to ensure the valve is in the fully closed position.
In applications where the servomotor is not positioned close to the display then it is possible to measure
the feedback voltage from the servomotor in order to ensure that 0.0 degrees is displayed. By testing
the DC voltage between the blue and green wires (wiper and 0V) on the servomotor low voltage
terminals this will read 0.21V DC when the reading on the display is 0.0 degrees.
On threaded valves, the pin on the top of the valve is 90 degrees opposite from the position of the
butterfly valve.
On flanged valves, the pin on the top of the valve is in line with the position of the butterfly valve.
For both valves the external visual position indicator is in line with the position of the butterfly valve.
Regardless of the type of valve being used, the servomotor is dispatched from the factory with the
potentiometer in the zero position. The same servomotor will be correct for both types of valve, as the
servomotor for the threaded valve is mounted at 90 degrees different from the flanged valve.

The servomotors shown are 230V in which the low voltage cables and mains voltage cables must enter
the servomotor through separate glands. For the 24V servomotors only one gland is required for both
the low voltage cables and mains voltage cables.
Replacing the servomotor, servicing the servomotor and the importance of using the
servomotors within the specified torque range.
Replacement:
Anytime that a servomotor is changed in the field it is important to verify that the physical position of
the fuel valve, air damper, FGR valve or other damper is correct in accordance with the potentiometer
feed back as displayed on the Autoflame controller. When the valve is completely closed as indicated
on the valve/damper then the potentiometer reads zero angular degrees on the M.M. display. It must
not be assumed that the original commissioning engineer has the servomotor set in the correct position.
N ote: Once the servomotor has been changed it is imperative to check the combustion performance
throughout the firing range in a safe and reliable manner, based on the original data. If the combustion
performance is different then either a re-commission is required or single point change of the fuel/air
ratio.
Servicing:
It is good practice to periodically (minimum once a year) check the equipment and most notably the
following for the servomotors:
It is important that the servomotors are not used outside of their specified operating range.
2.17.2.4 Options
Important Note: The options and parameters must only be changed by factory trained
and certified technicians who have a thorough appreciation of the Autame combustion
systems and the combustion process in general. Anyone changing the options and
parameters who does not have the correct factory training and understanding of these

situation.

38. 2 Derivative control (D) deadband: The deadband is the margin above and
below the required setpoint within which no derivative control occurs.
The sensitivity value indicates the amount of percentage firing rate increase or
decrease that is inflicted by the derivative action, e.g. if the chosen value was 10%
then 10% of the maximum firing rate would be added to the existing rate of fire,
i.e. if the burner was firing at 50% load and the derivative action was triggered the
firing rate would increase by 10+50 to 60%.
In the example situation there has been 4°C (4°F) drop in temperature below the
required setpoint. The deadband is set at 2°C (2°F.), therefore the derivative
action will be triggered as the deviation from the required setpoint is in excess of
2°C (2°F.). In this example 10% will be added to the 50% firing rate resulting
in an increase in firing rate to 60% of capacity.
The “Time Between Readings” is set for 20 seconds and if after this time interval
the actual value is not within the 2°C (2°F) deviation from the required deadband
another 10% would be added to the 60% firing rate which would result in a 70%
firing rate.
By careful selection of “Time Between Readings”, “Deadband” and “Response
Sensitivity” an ideal response to rate of change over time can be configured.
The control philosophy detailed operates inversely if the “Actual” temperature
exceeds the required setpoint and is outside the “Deadband”.
To enable or switch on the Derivative action the “Time Between Readings” must
be set in excess of 10 seconds.

They are based on DVGW requirements of a leakage rate of 0.1% of the maximum volume flow.
Proving time:
Abbreviations:
Vpt - Valve proving time in seconds.
Ip - Inlet pressure in millibars.
Pv - Pipe volume in litres (volume = «r2 x length).
Mtp - Maximum gas throughput in litres per hour.

air temperature drops the boiler setpoint can be increased accordingly.
On the MK7 Evolution the outside temperature compensation graph is displayed such that the
outside temperature scale is from left to right as the outside temperature increases. The limits of
opeartion of this feature can be set through the Options menu. To enable Outside Temperature

S All terminals marked S are internally connected. They are provided for
connections to the various screened cables. Refer to the schematic connection
diagrams, e.g. section 2.17.6.1.
2.17.2.9.4 Cables
Screened Cable
The screened cable used from the M.M. to the servo motors and detectors must conform to the following
specification:
16-2-2C 2 Cores
16-2-3C 3 Cores
16-2-4C 4 Cores
16-2-6C 6 Cores
Data Cable
Data cable must be used for connections between MMs for twin burner/sequencing applications and
between M.M.’s and E.G.A.’s.
Installation
The following recommendations are to assist with the installation and fault finding when using variable
speed drives (VFD’s/inverters).
Inverter Selection
Variable speed drive selection is critical to proper operation. Ensure that the correct size inverter has
been selected for the application and is suitable for the motor, and has the necessary input/output
signals as shown in section 2.17.6.1.
Power connections from the variable speed drive to the motor- it is recommended for mains cabling (3
phase) and fuses, that they are to be dimensioned in accordance with the kW rating required.
Motor Cabling
A four core conductor screened cable is recommended. This is due to the rapid voltage changes
occurring in variable speed drive systems.
To Avoid Disturbances
It is advised that the motor cables should not be installed with other cable routes- avoid long parallel
runs with other cables.
Disturbances caused by radiation from the motor cable can be reduced by installing in-line chokes in
the motor cable. However, these chokes may reduce the motor voltage and the maximum available
torque. If noise problems exist and unstable output signals cannot be contained within the window
and disparity band shown in section 2.17.2.10.3, you should contact the supplier of the variable
speed drive for more detailed information and advice.
Due to the vast range of variable speed drives it is not possible to give settings/parameters for all
types, however some basic rules apply. The minimum and maximum Hz (rpm) should be adjusted
before commissioning the Micro Modulation unit. Also the ramp time should be set for the fastest time
possible, taking into account limitation of the motor and the application.
Normal settings would be, low speed 25Hz and high speed 50/60Hz. It is not recommended to set
low speed lower than 20Hz. This is because the feed back signal tends to be unstable in this range
and over heating of the motor may occur.

Time in Seconds
The “Window” tolerance has been implemented to accommodate small variations between input and
output signal that result from processing through the various A-D and D-A converters involved in the
control loop, also motor “Slip”, acceleration and deceleration times, all of which produce small
variations.
The “Disparity” tolerance which is time limited to a short duration is implemented to deal with the
transient disparity/error between input and output signals that results from the PI control mechanism that
is typical in variable speed drives (motor speed control mechanism) not operating in phase with the PI
(D) control philosophy in the M.M. (Micro Modulation Fuel Air Ratio Controller). This transient
disparity occurs and is always self-correcting within the three second time tolerance nominated in the
Autoflame control philosophy.
1. Notwithstanding the above, to deal with transients of a very small time scale but of an amplitude
greater than the disparity (area Y) as in section 2.17.2.10.3, there is an additional mechanism
in the software that allows transient deviations of any amplitude to be tolerated for a duration
of less than one second. Under these conditions an error will not be flagged.
Note: area Z in section 2.17.2.10.3. Any signal deviation longer than one second in area Z
will activate safety errors. The tolerance safety time is set for 3 seconds.
2. The “Window” tolerance is +/- 5 bits = 1 Hz = 58rpm (on a motor rotating at 2900rpm at
50Hz).
3. The disparity tolerance is +/- 10 bits = 2Hz = 116rpm (on a motor rotating at 2900rpm at
50Hz). Note that disparity band 2Hz is limited to a maximum of 3 seconds.
4. Fan laws state that: a) Speed and volume are a direct linear progression.
b) Speed increase as a percentage affects pressure produced by
the fan as a square root function.
5. The variations in signal allowed in our software would have considerably less effect on the fuel
air ratio supplied to the combustion process than variations in ambient temperature/air density
e.t.c.
Control Philosophy
When the M.M. is commissioned all the positions for the fuel/air ratio are entered into the memory.
These positions are stored together with a motor speed and air damper position. This allows the M.M.
to measure the slip by measuring output signal to the variable speed drive, return signal from a tacho
and learning the difference for any air position/motor speed setting. This control form gives the
facility for a different combination of air/motor speed settings to be accommodated for varying fuels,
i.e. F1, F2, F3 & F4. This facility accommodates variances for air requirement for different fuels which
is fundamental to the hydrocarbon ratio of the fuel.

During commissioning, each time a position is entered (HIGH/INTER/START) the M.M. also stores the
feedback signal value. When the START (low flame) position is entered these values are stored perma-
nently in the memory. A set of values can be stored for each fuel (max. 4). When the M.M. is in the
RUN mode the set of values stored for the fuel presently selected is used to generate the window and
disparity error checking bands. In commissioning mode error checking is disabled. During run the
error checking is disabled during the start up cycle.
Commissioning Checks
When the installation and all burner adjustments are completed, the entire burner control system
should be tested in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. The procedure should verify the
correct operation of:

Diagram Notes
If VPS is not optioned on the fuel selected, the VPS phases are bypassed.
point idle:
this phase is set at power up when no fuel selected on exit from lockout.
point recycle:
this phase is set on exit from firing and post purge if VPS has not operated after burner run.
point standby:
this phase is set if VPS has operated after burner run.
Normal lockout is reset when either the mains lockout reset input is set for 2 second or the front facia
lockout reset button is pressed for 2 seconds.
Prolonged lockout reset/special lockout is set if either the mains lockout reset input lockout reset or
front facia lockout reset input is set for 10 or more seconds. Normal lockout is set on exit from
permanent lockout reset/special lockout after 20 seconds and is reset in the normal way.
Bold waveforms indicate required condition. Values above/below waveform are time in seconds that
the state must be continuously incorrect after which a lockout is set. If the waveform is not bold then
the status is not important.

Normal Sensitivity
If the distance from the UV scanner to the flame is up to 20 inches (500mm) the normal sensitivity UV
scanner types may be used.
Dependant on the application (e.g. flame size/shape/intensity, flame obstruction e.t.c.) where the
signal strength is low, a high sensitivity scanner type may be necessary for distances below 20 inches.
High Sensitivity
If the distance from the UV scanner to the flame exceeds 20 inches (500mm) the high sensitivity UV
scanner types are recommended. The maximum distance from the flame is dependant on the amount
of radiated UV. This will vary between applications but the typical maximum distance is 6ft (1500mm).
The information above is based on the results of tests using a simulated pilot flame. The flame was
simulated by means of a bunsen burner flame with a flame size of 100x20mm.

Explanation:
Typical reference signals are 1000±14. If the reference signal values display 0 or are blank then the
sensor is wired incorrectly.
Each sensor has two channels. Each channel gives out two values- a pressure signal and a reference
signal. The values displayed are ‘digitised’ signals (range 0-1023). The two pressure signals should
be the same. The two reference signals should be the same.
If the two pressure signals are different by more than 10 the averaged value will show 01 and not the
average of the two signals.
With no pressure applied to the sensor the pressure signal value should be between 20 to 60 (typically
between 40 to 50). If the reading goes below 5 then an error will occur due to a negative pressure on
the sensor.
Note: These values are only displayed once the burner has been commissioned.

5- represents linearly (0-255) 0-20mA/0-10V the analog input into the MK7.
1- window error count value will increment if the difference between 4 & 5 is greater than 10. An
M.M. error will occur if the count reaches 150. This takes approximately 3 seconds.
2- disparity error count value - will increment up if the difference between 4 & 5 is greater than 15. An
M.M. error will occur if the count reaches 50. This takes approximately 1 second.
The correct feedback signals must be attained for purge & ignition to progress, i.e. 5 must be as 4±15.
UV Shutter Faults
UV shutter fault– there are two LED’s on the back of the self-check UV. The red LED indicates the presence
of a flame, the yellow LED indicates shutter operation. The red LED will flicker in the presence of UV
light. Every 60 seconds the yellow LED will come on, indicating that the shutter is closing. The red LED
should then extinguish briefly. If this is not happening check the wiring to self check UV sensor:
UV Problems
If the red LED’s fail to illuminate but the burner operates, the flame signal will be reduced. It is
likely that the 2 wires are crossed. This must be corrected. Once corrected a full flame signal
strength will be displayed/registered.
The Autoflame UV software utilises early spark termination within the internal flame safeguard
control. Therefore, detection of the ignition spark is allowed. During start-up the ignition is de-
energised and the pilot flame must be proven without the spark before the main fuel valves are open
(safety shut off). Due to the above statement it is not necessary to have a sight tube on the UV for
pick-up. This, in fact, will drastically reduce the flame pick-up.
If a non-Autoflame scanner is required then please contact Autoflame directly for technical support.
The Mk6 mode emulates the user experience of the Mk6 units (the mode of operation is selectable on the
system configuaration screen and allows seamles transition between Mk6 and Mk7 modes of operation).
Whilst in this mode, all features and screens are the same as those on standard Mk6 units. Due to the
nature of resistive touch-screen technology, two buttons cannot be physically pressed simultaneously
on-screen. This feature is implemented through the use of “Button Hold” facility.
Note: Two additional buttons have been added to the Mk6 screen to facilitate the process of
accessing the options and parameters menu. These buttons are only available when the MM is in
commissioning mode.

O2 Interface Module
The O2 interface module allows the use of an existing O2 sensor and in-situ probe to be used in
conjunction with the M.M. control.
The O2 analyser is only measuring the O2 reading from the sensor and the exhaust gas temperature
via a thermocouple mounted into the stack. It is important to note that the signal from the O2 sensor
must be a 4-20mA and the thermocouple reading must be a 0-10V signal. These signals must be ranged
as below:
Although the analyser is only measuring the O2 reading from the stack it is possible for the O2 interface
module to extrapolate a CO2 value from the O2 sensor reading. These value can then be displayed
on the M.M. facia (via the E.G.A. button) or via the D.T.I. on a PC or BMS interface.
If this is set to a value of 0 then the efficiency will be calculated from the exhaust temperature and CO2
value and this will be displayed on the M.M. facia. The CO reading will always be displayed as a zero
value.
If this is set to a value of 1 then the CO, NO, exhaust temperature and efficiency will remain blank.
If using the O2 interface module it is possible to use the limits for O2 readings and exhaust gas
temperature readings.
Options #14 and #33 have to be set to correctly implement twin burner operation. Refer to the option
section. For commissioning purposes it is easiest to set option #14 on each M.M. to value 0, and
commission each burner individually. It is the commissioning engineer’s responsibility to ensure that
no adverse effects are caused as a result of this, particularly, stress to a boiler not designed to have only
one burner firing. If this is the case then both burners must be commissioned simultaneously.
AFTER COMMISSIONING SET OPTION #14 TO IT'S TWIN BURNER VALUE ON BOTH M.M.s
Before commencing commissioning set the following options (refer to options section for more details):
Option #33:
Set value of left hand burner to its appropriate identification number, e.g. #1. Set the right hand burner
to the Identification of the left hand burner +1, i.e. #2.
Option #33 will have to be interpreted if the boilers are numbered right to left. The details here are for
left to right numbering.
Normal Operation
Only the odd numbered M.M. needs an input on terminal #88 to make this boiler lead boiler. If a
connection is made to the even number M.M. it will be ignored. The same applies for the hand/auto/
low flame hold inputs #94/95, i.e. they do not need any connection on the even number M.M. if option
#14 = 1. If option #14 = 2 then terminals #94/95 should be wired as normal for hand operation.
The even number burner always takes its load index from the odd number burner including when in
‘Hand’ mode. If communications between the two burners fail, each M.M. will open its internal stat and
approximately every three seconds the displays on each M.M. show a flashing ERROR 100 to indicate
a communications failure if option #14 = 1. If option #14 = 2 then the 2 M.M.s run stand-alone.
When entering the flow metering for sequencing purposes it is necessary to put both M.M.s into the
“Flow Metering” mode at the same time,
i.e. Start up both burners, wait until both are modulating then press and on one
of the M.M. units.
Keep the firing rate of each burner similar when entering profile, i.e. do ‘point 1’ on each M.M. then
‘point 2’ on each M.M, e.t.c. This is important as the boiler may be susceptible to stress if one tube is
fired at a different rate to the other. The required setpoint and actual value on the even numbered M.M.
will mimic the values on the odd number M.M.
If Option #14 = 1, i.e. both burners fire simultanesouly and together at all times, then the internal stat
of both M.M.s will open if there is a period of more than 10 seconds when one M.M. is modulating
and the other is not. Therefore, both burners will be off. If one burner locks out then the other burner
will shut down immediately.
There are various points that are checked when the system starts up, such as position to purge, purge,
position to start, ignition and modulation. This ensures that both burners are operating together and
simultaneously.
The load detector input in the even numbered M.M. can be left open circuit, it will not be error checked.
If an error condition arises on one or other of the M.M. units and option #14 = 1 then the other unit
will open its internal stat and flash ERROR 100.
‘Low Flame Hold’ and ‘Hand’ operation are only effective when the burner is firing. They have no effect
when the burner is off or during the burner start up cycle. They are effected by applying a mains voltage
signal to terminal #95 for low flame hold, or terminal #94 for hand operation. When these inputs have
no mains signals applied, the system is in an automatic mode and modulates according to the PID
control.
Low flame hold is brought into operation if terminal #95 has mains voltage applied when the burner is
modulating or firing. The minimum flame position will be maintained from now on, until the input from
terminal #95 is removed. Low flame hold will be established again by applying an input to terminal
#95 again. During low flame hold the PID control is ignored.
‘Hand’ operation enables the fuel valve and air damper (and other channel) positions to be set to a
specific position, in the range of minimum to maximum flame. Once a position has been set it is recorded
in the M.M. units memory. As a default setting (option #60) the next time the system is put into a hand
operation, the system will take on a fuel/air ratio in the commissioning curve similar to the current firing
rate. The M.M. system sets the channel positions to the hand position whenever there is a mains signal
on terminal #94. Once the burner is firing the ‘hand’ position can be adjusted by switching to the M.M.
screen or Display Status screen and using the bottom row of buttons on the Mk7 facia.
If hand and low flame hold operations are selected at the same time, via inputs both on terminals
#94 and on #95, then low flame hold takes priority.
Software installation:
When SETUP has completed, insert the key diskette into drive A: click on start and choose run. Type
A:\INSTALL.bat and press enter.
The software needs to be configured to the serial (COM) port that the IR lead is connected to. This
happens the first time the Mk7 Upload/Download software is run.
WARNING
The Micro Modulation unit uses solid state technology. It requires no routine maintenance.
The positioning motors/gas/oil/FGR valves do require routine maintenance. Any fault associated with
these parts is usually diagnosed by the M.M. Contact Autoflame for preventative maintenance
procedures.
The reliability of the equipment may be impaired if used in environments where strong electromagnetic
fields exist. If for example the equipment is installed in a boiler house where radio systems exist then
additional EMC (Electro Magnetic Compatability) measures may have
to be considered

To use external modulation it is required to use a 0-10V or 4-20mA input on the terminals as
detailed above. See options #45 and #55 for setting external modulation and the two possible
methods for setting this.
Important note:
It is necessary to use a signal isolator to prevent any excessive voltages being applied to these
terminals. The signal isolator used must have the following charcteristics:
2. When the above is displayed press , this will initiate the flow metering setup mode.
3. Next time the burner starts the M.M. will go into the ten point setup mode for flow metering
automatically.
4. In this mode the display will show the fuel valve position in degrees angular and the flow
Note:
a) The CH4 window confirms to the commissioning engineer which of the 10 points are
currently being measured.
b) The minimum numerical value for fuel flow that can be entered into memory is 0.01.
The maximum numerical value for fuel flow that can be entered into memory is 999.0
c) The values are entered in descending order, i.e. point #10 is maximum flame and
point #1 is at minimum flame. The 10 sequential point on the load index are all
located automatically by the M.M. All values are in units/minute or units/hour.
5. When fuel flow has been calculated or read off of a commissioning fuel flow meter the value
is entered as detailed in point #4.
The button is then pressed and the value is logged in the M.M. memory.
6. The above detailed data entry routine is repeated until all 10 points have flow values
allocated to them.
7. When the last (10th) point has been entered the burner continues to fire.
9. To reset the totalising value to 0 (zero) for the individual fuel selected set option #57 to 2,
press at that time. To reset all totalised values for each fuel use parameter #64.
Note: Fuel flow metering measurement now automatically starts totalling the amount of fuel used
from the moment the main gas valves are energised. If the fuel flow metering is not entered then the
firing rate display will read 00% and the system will not totalise the fuel input. Also, any control
logic that requires the fuel flow metering, e.g. lead/lag and sequencing and steam flow metering,
will not work correctly.
This facility enables an ideal ignition/start position to be set into memory that is not necessarily low
flame or indeed part of the standard modulating load index.
To enable this facility to go to option #29, set to 0 (default value = 1) and press
To implement the above the system/burner is commissioned in the normal way, i.e. press
Enter the password, enter the close position, enter the open position, enter the start (light-off)
position (adjust fuel/air positioning motors to give initial arbitrary ignition position). This position is
not memorised. The burner will fire and the start position LED will flash again.
Press , LED will remain stable, adjust the fuel/air positioning motors to give the ideal
ignition/start up position.
Press and proceed with the commissioning routine in the normal way.
Notes:
1. The golden start/ignition position of the fuel and air positioning motors is completely
independent from the modulating load index commissioned value data.
2. The facility is particularly useful on combustion systems with large turndowns and when firing
heavy fuel oil, as it enables the burners to start/ignite at a fuel rich position and then, after a
stable flame is established, to revert to the commissioned values for fuel/air ratio.
3. WARNING- this facility is common to all fuels (F1, F2, F3 & F4). A value must be entered on
each programmed fuel. Note: As of June 2005, the golden start only needs to be entered for
the required fuel.
4. The time that the M.M. holds the golden start position for is adjustable, see parameter #15.
(default value is 5 seconds, range 0-100 seconds). This timer starts from the ignition point. After
this time the air damper will open and the fuel valve will remain at the same position until the
fuel/air ratio is on the original commissioning curve. At this point the M.M. will start to modulate
based upon the load demand and the PID control.
5. If the commissioning engineer wishes to change the golden start position retrospectively this
can be re-entered, without fully recommissioning the burner, in the following manner:
Go into the commission mode, enter the password, enter the close and the open positions and
enter, as previously described, to the point where high flashes then deselect fuel or power down.
In this way the new golden start position is entered.
6. It is important to appreciate that the golden start position is completely independent of the fuel/
air paired values that are entered for the normal modulating load index/range.
To change a point, two methods are available. The first is described in section 2.17.5.4.5.1. The second
is done using Mk6 mode. The Mk6 method is as follows:
Start up the burner in the normal way.
Once modulating press (This allows the selection of two buttons at once)
Set the password and press the same way as if going into normal commissioning, the channel
position values should be displayed. The valves track to the nearest commission point.
(e.g. HIGH/INTER/START).
When all the values have settled at their appropriate positions ENTER flashes. If this point is to be
changed press . If not press the CH1 button to move to the next point up or
the CH1 button to go to the next point down. The M.M. detects which point has been
selected and will steady the appropriate LED on either HIGH, INTER or START as during normal
commissioning. Once the correct point to be changed is displayed press . It should now
be possible to adjust the fuel/air ratio by using the CH1 - CH6 buttons. Adjust the values
as desired and when the correct values are set press . If an E.G.A. is optioned the
button will flash, press to view. If the E.G.A. is optioned for AUTOTRIM then this will be carried out
and E.G.A. values stored.
Once complete the M.M. will revert to just ENTER and RUN flashing. If desired another point can be
selected and changed. Otherwise press and the M.M. reverts to normal modulation.
If the CH1 (fuel) HIGH or START position has been adjusted check the flow metering. It is likely that
the 10 point flow calibration must be carried out again.
Flue Gas Recirculation (FGR) is a method whereby a quantity (approximately 15%) of the boiler
flue gases are fed back to the burner and mixed with the combustion air. The virtue of FGR is the
reduction of NOx gases. With the FGR facility, positioning motor channels 3 or 4 can be used to
control the amount of flue gas fed back. It is not good practice to feed back the gases when the flue
gas is cold, so all the elements (i.e. positioning motors and VFD’s) can be set at ‘FGR’ positions
until the gases are hot. During this time the elements (CH3 or CH4) controlling the FGR would
normally be set closed. Once the gases are hot, modulation takes place in the normal way using
the curve entered during commissioning.
To ascertain if the gases are hot a number of options have been added:
Option #48
A time in seconds that the FGR positions are held for. This timer starts from the point of
release to modulation. If a golden start is used in conjunction with the FGR start then the FGR
start timer will begin at the end of the golden start timer.
Option #49
An offset amount (e.g. 20) below the required setpoint (e.g. 100). This gives a threshold
value of 80 (100 – 20). The FGR positions are held until the actual value has attained the
threshold value (80). Once this actual value is reached then normal modulation will occur.
Option #50
This is an enable/disable type option. If enabled an E.G.A. must be present on the system.
The FGR positions are held until the exhaust temperature value from the E.G.A. reaches 248F
(120C). Once the exhaust gases reach this temperature then normal modulation will occur.
It is possible to use all three of the above options in order to keep the FGR start positions. If this
is done then the timer will be held firstly and then the other two options must be satisfied for
release to modulation.
It is important to check the setting of parameter #90, which determines at what time the FGR start
position will be entered.
If the burner has been commissioned and it is necessary to add an FGR start position, set parameter
#90 to 1, and one of the above options to enable FGR start. Then enter the commissioning mode
and after the start position is entered the M.M. will prompt for the FGR start position to be entered.
After this is entered the M.M. can be reset and this FGR start position will be stored in the memory.
When the system is in commissioning mode only, a facility has been provided that enables a
commissioning engineer to pause the ignition sequence of the burner. If the lockout button is pressed
during the first safety time the burner control will ‘pause’ at this position. This enables the commission-
ing engineer to make adjustments to the start gas flame. If the flame goes out during this time a lockout
is set after 15 seconds. If the flame is present and the ‘pause’ condition is left indefinitely a lockout
will be set after 10 minutes. If the lockout button is pressed again the ignition sequence continues.
While paused the lockout LED on the front fascia flashes. The ‘pause’ facility can also be activated
during the pilot prove and main flame prove phases. When the system is in a run mode the facility is
disabled.

start/stop times. Outside of the start/stop times the burner is held off.
ON rsp The burner runs and modulates according to the normal required setpoint during the
start/stop times. Outside of the start/stop times the burner runs and modulates according to the reduced
setpoint.
The normal setpoint and reduced setpoint are adjustable by means of the channel 3 and channel 4 up/
down buttons respectively when the DISPLAY STATUS screen is selected. In normal run operation the
Time Clock screen is selected on the third press of the display status button.
A facility has been added to the Mk7 so that the air pressure values for each fuel/air ratio point
entered can be commissioned without having to carry out a full fuel air ratio commission.
To invoke this facility the system must already be commissioned on fuel /air ratio. Option/parameter
#150 must be set to value 7 then the enter button pressed. Option/parameter #147 must be noted and
set to 0- off so that air pressure limit errors do not occur while the system is running.
Start up the system as normal. Once the burner is firing the system attains the high fire positions and
samples and stores the air pressure at that point. The first fuel/air ratio inter positions are then attained
and the air pressure again sampled and stored. This process is repeated until all fuel/air ratio inter and
start positions are complete. The new air pressure values are then permanently stored and thereafter
an MM ERROR is set - AIR RECOMMSSION (this is to bring to the attention of the operator that options/
parameters must be adjusted back to operational settings). The error must be cleared and option/
parameter #150 set back to 0. If not set back to 0 the air values will be commissioned again and the
M.M. ERROR will ensue. Option/parameter #147 must also be adjusted to the appropriate value.

When the flame switch is indicating no flame, the voltage on terminal #85 must be 0Vac, and the
voltage on terminal #86 must be mains voltage (110/230Vac).
When the flame switch is indicating the presence of a flame, the voltage on terminal #85 must be
mains voltage (110/230Vac), and the voltage on terminal #85 must be 0Vac.
Terminal #86 is solely for the purpose of checking that terminal #85 is operating correctly.
Terminal #86 must seen to be the inverse of terminal #85, i.e. if terminal #85 is at 0Vac, terminal
#86 must be at mains voltage and if terminal #85 is at mains voltage, terminal #86 must be at 0Vac.
If terminal #86 does not follow the inverse of terminal #85 the following lockout will occur -
terminal #86 inverse.
Within the M.M. there is a latency of 250 milliseconds on the monitoring of terminal #85. To
ensure a 1 second overall flame failure response time, it is essential that the response time of the
flame switch is set to no more than 750 milliseconds.
Flame switches often provide a volt free change over contact to indicate the flame status.
Alternatively, they may provide a pair of `inverse’ outputs. If the flame switch only provides a
single output terminal, a relay will have to be installed between the flame switch and the M.M. to
provide a set of volt free changeover contacts.
A facility exist in the Mk7 M.M. Evolution that allows certain changes to be made whilst the burner

E.G.A. Exhaust Gas Analysis Introduction
3.1 Introduction
The E.G.A. Mk.6 is the accomplishment of twenty years on-going research and development for the exhaust
gas sampling system. The E.G.A. can be used for three separate applications:
Stand alone sampling system. The emissions levels can be accessed via:
The local display on the front of the E.G.A. facia (serial numbers 5000+)
The remote display pod, local to the installation (max. distance 15m)- older E.G.A. units
The 6 channel 4-20mA signals, user configurable (max. load 250 Ohms each)
The Data Transfer Interface module (D.T.I.); this enables connection to a PC, BMS, PLC, e.t.c.
Interfaced with the Micro Modulation (M.M.) system enabling combustion trim. The combustion/emissions
levels can be accessed via:
The M.M. unit. This displays both the commissioned values and the actual values
The 6 channel 4-20mA signals, user configurable
From the M.M. unit via the Data Transfer Interface module (D.T.I.); this enable connection to a PC, BMS,
PLC, e.t.c.
Ability to monitor the exhaust gases and determine the exact amounts (volumetric and weight) of each of
the exhaust gas parameters. These values are dependent on the fuel input, the calorific value of the fuel and
the exhaust gas values (%, ppm).
Monitoring Capabilities.
O2 Oxygen % by volume
CO Carbon Monoxide ppm
CO2 Carbon Dioxide % by volume
NO Nitrogen Oxide ppm
SO2 Sulphur Dioxide ppm
NO2 Nitrogen Dioxide ppm
Combustion Efficiency % (a calculation of CO2 and delta temperature)
Exhaust gas temperature Degrees Celsius or Fahrenheit
Ambient temperature Degrees Celsius or Fahrenheit
Delta temperature Degrees Celsius or Fahrenheit
NO and SO2 or NO2 are monitored only, not used for combustion trim, although limits can be set for NO.
The analyser samples the combustion gas via the stack mounted sampling probe (part #MM10003)
purchased separately from the analyser. The exhaust gas is drawn from the stack by a pump mounted
internally within the analyser. Ensure that the supplied sample tubing is used between the sampling
probe and the analyser. The internal diameter of the sample tubing is 3mm; if a larger diameter tubing
is used the sample gas remains resident in the tubing for a longer period. This will seriously effect the
correct operation of the combustion trim. Contact Autoflame sales team for advice on applications.
Once the exhaust gas has entered the analyser the gas is reduced in temperature by the chiller block.
The chiller block serves two functions; firstly reducing the gas temperature and secondly removing the
condensation from the gas prior to the gas entering the sensors. The condensate accumulated in the
chiller unit is drained every 4 minutes automatically through the drain solenoid.
The exhaust gas is then filtered through the dry filter. This is a fine filter which removes any dust particles
carried over from the cooling process. On leaving the filter the exhaust gas is checked to ensure a
vacuum is maintained prior to entering the pump. On exiting the pump the exhaust gas is again checked
to ensure the pump is producing a pressure. Both pressure switches indicate there operation by the status
indication L.E.D.s. (located next to each pressure switch).
The conditioning process of the exhaust gas is now complete. The gases are now measured by the
sensors. The exhaust gas now exits the sampling system from the clear tubing located at the rear of the
chiller unit.
Important note:
The exhaust gas is vented into the air stream leaving the E.G.A. unit. This is located on the outside of
the E.G.A. enclosure next to the drain solenoid outlet. It is extremely important that the exhaust gas
is vented to atmosphere, i.e. do not install the E.G.A unit within a sealed enclosure. This would cause
the E.G.A. unit to self calibrate on contaminated gas. The E.G.A. unit will self calibrate every 6 hours
or when the burner starts and stops.
If the E.G.A. unit is to be installed in an area of harsh environmental conditions outside those as quoted
for the E.G.A. module then an environmental enclosure is required. Please contact Autoflame sales for
further information on this unit.

3.2.1 O2 Sensor
This electrochemical cell is used for the detection of oxygen covering a concentration range of 0 to 100%. Due
to the construction of the sensor they offer a long life and a high resistance when used with high sulphur content
fuels. It is therefore suited to analysis when firing heavy or light fuel oil. The cell employs the principles detailed
below:-
The oxygen sensor incorporates a lead oxygen cell with a lead anode and a gold cathode, using a specific acid
electrolyte. Oxygen molecules which diffuse through a non porous Teflon membrane into the electrochemical
cell are reduced at the gold electrode. The current flow between the electrodes is proportional to the oxygen
concentration in the flue gases measured.
Retaining Band
Features:
Virtually no influence from CO, H2, S, NOx, SOx and H2, i.e. no cross sensitivity.
No warm up time required.
Operation ranges:
These sensors are electrochemical cells which are specifically managed by the calibration philosophy within the
E.G.A. unit. The accuracy of these sensors are within ±5% at 100ppm. From our experience over the last five
years we would expect to see a drift of ± 10ppm per annum without calibration. In our view this drift would
not be detrimental to the operation or application of the E.G.A. The EPA compliant E.G.A. unit ensures that this
problem does not occur by performing an automatic self calibration every 24 hours with known constituents of
test gas. The life of the sensors is a function of the concentration of gases measured over time. In order to optimize
the life of the CO cell, the electronics will detect when the signal level from the cell reaches or exceeds 600ppm
and will isolate the CO & NO cells. The gas flow to these cells is restored once the O2 & CO2 readings are restored
to a level within the pre-programmed limits.

E.G.A. Exhaust Gas Analysis Sensor Characteristics
This is manufactured to an Autoflame specification and the technology employed is thermal conductiv-
ity. This sensor has no moving parts and is not an electrochemical cell. The exact description of how
this works is commercially sensitive. The accuracy is ±0.3% of reading. The cross sensitivity is virtually
zero to other gases due to the method of calibration used within the E.G.A. unit. The lifetime is not less
than two years on gas firing, and on oil firing is dependent on the sulphur content of the fuel.

3.3.1 Introduction
Commissioning with the E.G.A. is an extension to commissioning with the M.M. The factory trained technician
must be completely familiar with the commissioning of the M.M. unit before commissioning with the E.G.A.
module. Section #2 of the Technical manual clearly explains commissioning with the M.M. unit.
The commissioning procedure as described must be strictly adhered to. Anybody commissioning an M.M./
E.G.A. system must have an adequate understanding of combustion plant and be officially certified by Autoflame
Engineering or their registered Distributors. In the wrong hands, hazardous conditions could be made to exist
that could lead to product damage, critical injury or death.
The fundamental idea of the system is to set a fuel valve position and then set a corresponding air valve position.
Care must be taken when adjusting the fuel and air positions so as not to create any unstable combustion
conditions, e.g. moving the fuel valve to the open position without increasing the air valve correspondingly.
If the system being commissioned is an M.M. without an E.G.A. then a combustion monitor is required to check
the exhaust gases. If the system does have an E.G.A. then a combustion monitor should not be necessary as the
E.G.A. performs all normal exhaust gas measurements. When burning oil a smoke detection device is necessary
to check smoke generated is within government guide lines.
Ideally, to implement commissioning as quickly as possible arrange for a substantial load on the boiler. The
commissioning procedure can be interrupted due to excess temperature or pressure, causing the burner to turn
off. In these instances the commissioning data accumulated so far is not lost. When the burner is called back
on, the system starts up automatically and commissioning can proceed from where it left off.
Once the burner has been fired the maximum fuel position is entered first then descending fuel positions are
entered consecutively until finally a minimum fuel position is entered. The CH1 and CH2 positions must always
be less than the ones previously entered. However with CH3 - CH6 it is possible to move the position above or
below the previously entered points. This is important if these channels are used to control FGR (flue gas
recirculation) or atomisation of oil.
On a newly installed system the following procedures should be carried out as listed:
1. Check all interconnecting wiring between the M.M. and external components are correct.
2. Set the options required (refer to option section #2.14.2.4).
3. Set up positioning motors.
4. Programme fuel/air positions.

With the E.G.A. trim facility it is possible to expand the M.M. so it will measure and display O2, CO,
CO2 and exhaust gas temperature, together with boiler temperature or pressure. It is also possible to
use these values for 3 parameter trim in order to optimise the burner combustion capabilities throughout
the firing range of the burner in a safe manner. This means that the safety is never compromised by
efficiency, but the best burner/boiler efficiency is maintained.
During commissioning, for every paired value of fuel and air, the corresponding values of O2, CO,
CO2 are stored. These values are known as the commissioned values. The system will then automatically
induce an 'autotrim' cycle in which the air damper will close 5% of the entered air damper position
and then hold this position for 60 seconds. This is known as the fuel rich part of the autotrim cycle.
After the 60 seconds the values of O2, CO, CO2 are stored. The 60 seconds allows the combustion
gases to move through the passes (2/3/4) in order to obtain the new combustion values. After these
values have been stored then the E.G.A. will stop sampling from the stack for 25 seconds and sample
from atmosphere (through the solenoid valve) in order to clear any CO residue that may have been
produced during this fuel rich autotrim. During this time the air damper will now 5% of the entered air
damper position and then following the 25 seconds air flush period the air damper position will be
held for 60 seconds. This is known as the air rich part of the autotrim cycle. After the 60 seconds the
values of O2, CO, CO2 are stored. It is now possible to move to the next position in the fuel and air
curve to be entered. Again, this same process will occur and every fuel and air position entered. This
builds up a complete map of the burner's combustion performance (see the graphs on the following
pages).
During the normal run mode, the on-line sample at any position within the burner's firing rate is compared
to the commissioned values. There are 3 individually sampled parameters (O2, CO, CO2) in order to
verify the combustion performance either side of the commissioned value. The software within the
M.M. unit will inflict minute corrections to the channel 2 air damper positions or the channel 5 variable
speed drive in order to maintain the commissioned values. These minute changes ensure that the
originally entered commissioning data is adhered to, irrespective of variations in stack pressure, ambient
temperature (pressure) fluctuations, barometric conditions or fuel pressure changes.
The system trim function is achieved by every paired value for air and fuel having stored values for
O2, CO2 and CO at the commissioned value. Deviations from these ideal values are held and acces-
sible via the "COM" button on the MM facia when in E.G.A mode. This data is integrated and ex-
pressed as a degree angular value; this ensures the exact amount of channel 2 or channel 5 trim may
be inflicted at any time to return the system to it’s commissioned value at any load condition.
The E.G.A. is continually measuring the formation of CO. The on-line CO value is compared to the
commissioned value. A higher CO reading can be contributed to both lean and rich combustion. A
lack of air will produce imcomplete combustion and the formation of CO up the stack. Also, excess air
around the flame envelope has the effect of chilling the flame edge causing incomplete combustion
and higher CO levels.
An ingress of tramp air through an ill fitting boiler door or flue section will distort the O2 reading and
show an increase in this value. This is now not measuring the combustion gases but in fact the influence
of the tramp air.
Single parameter O2 trim systems would see both of these conditions as rich (excess air) combustion
and start to trim back the air damper position by closing the air damper. In reality this trim process is
not trimming the combustion gases at this point, but is in fact trimming the exhaust gases which have a
higher influence of O2. This can potentially lead to the formation of excessive amounts of CO but
more importantly this can lead to the formation of dangerous combustion conditions, i.e. incomplete
combustion.
Similiarly single parameter CO2 trim systems would see an ingress of air as lower CO2 levels in the
flue, inflicting similar dangerous conditions in the boiler.
By referencing all 3 parameters against mapped combustion performance the burner can be trimmed
back to the original commissioned values whilst maintaining the highest degree of safety.
An added benefit of mapped combustion is 'feed forward trim'. In a fuel rich situation where air is
being added, as the burner modulates to a new position the deviation in the air damper is added to
each air position and so maintaining optimum combustion during modulation.
As a safety feature during lean (lack of air) combustion, where air is being subtracted, when modulating,
the fuel and air ratio will return back to the commissioned fuel and air mix for every 10 degrees of fuel
valve movement. Once this position is held the system will determine whether closing the air damper
is still required at this new position. This ensures safe combustion at all times and the safety is never
compromised by efficiency.

selected on the M.M. In the event of an E.G.A. failure, the E.G.A. screen on the M.M. will display a
flashing error to enable the operator to identify the issue. This will automatically default to this flashing
display in the event of an E.G.A. error. At this time all other screens will be viewable. The switched
neutral alarm output terminal (#79) can be set to become active or remain inactive in the event of an
E.G.A. error (see option #12 in section 2.14.2.4). Depending on the setting of this option will determine
how the burner will operate, i.e. continue to run based on the original commissioned values (trim and
limits testing disabled) or become disabled until the E.G.A. error is reset and becomes fully operational
once again.
01 No communications to E.G.A.
Check communications between terminals #23/31 on the E.G.A.
and terminals #25/26 (E+/E-) on the M.M. module.
Ensure that the E.G.A. is earthed (grounded).
21 O2 Cell failure
Check terminal connections on the wires from the cell

Sampling system should be carefully packed in the carton in which was supplied or similar and marked
"Fragile - Scientific Instruments" and "Do Not Drop".
When plugs are removed to disconnect the sampling system, the M.M./E.G.A. control module will
recognise that the sampling system has been removed and will run on M.M. values only depending on
the setting of option #12. The fault Error Code, displayed on the M.M./E.G.A. module will remain
displayed but only when the control unit is in the E.G.A. or commissioning display modes. When it is
in the M.M. mode, all normal values and functions would be displayed. When the fault has been
rectified on the sampling system and it is returned from your dealer, the E.G.A. sampling system can be
plugged in and the M.M./E.G.A control module can be put into E.G.A. mode.
Note: If the E.G.A. is removed then no single point changes can be made to the commissioning
curve since the E.G.A. data will not be present. If the E.G.A. is optioned out in order to make
any single point changes, then once the E.G.A. is optioned back in (option #12), then the
system will need to be re-commissioned or the old data uploaded into the M.M. module.
The Error Code that is displayed can be cleared by pressing " OPEN" and "CLOSE" simultaneously. The
system will now operate normally in the E.G.A. mode and the displays will return to their normal
function.
When first going into commissioning mode, the MM invokes an EGA calibration. If an error occurs at
this stage it will be necessery to fix the EGA and set commissioning mode again (reselect fuel).
On the M.M. display there are 4 lines of text that may appear when the E.G.A. is awaiting various
parameters to be met.
1- Ambient Temperature- this will read OK, high or low. This must be between 5-40C (40-104F)
or the settings of parameters #27/28. The temperature is measured by a sensor on the
electronics PCB and is cross reference with the sensor on the side of the CO2 cell.
2- E.G.A. Trim Threshold- this will be OK or low and is looking at the setting of option #28. This
value is an offset from setpoint, before which the E.G.A. will not operate. This ensures that the
E.G.A. does not pull in high amounts of condensate.
3- Cooler- this will be Ready or Not Ready. There is a temperature sensor on the chiller unit and
this chiller must get down to a set temperature before the pump will start to draw a sample from
the stack.
Check the operation of the fan. When the E.G.A. is powered the fan is the first
component to start-up and the purpose of this is to cool the chiller unit. Ensure that the
door of the E.G.A. is closed and that the 24V dc is present on the fan. If the ambient air
in the boiler house is high, it may be necessary to draw cooler air into the E.G.A.
Check that the cable to the right of the chiller is connected and all pins follow through.
Check the voltage selector switch is set to the correct voltage, i.e. if set for 230V and
the mains voltage input is 120V, the fan will run slowly and not cool the unit.
4- Comms- this can read OK or Not Ok and this is checking for continuity between the E.G.A. and
M.M. Check the wiring between the M.M. and E.G.A. modules.
If the EGA is mounted in an excessively dusty environment a build up of particles on the terminals can
cause arcing. If the particles are corrosive then any attack to the conformal coating on the printed
circuit boards can cause tracks to arc & component failure. Any sign of this activity & the unit should
be returned to the supplier.
To assist the end user to determine the basic status and fault diagnosis, the P.C.B. is fitted with status
indication in the form of L.E.D.s. The following indications are available:
Once all the yellow L.E.D.s have been extinguished the red L.E.D. will be illuminated, this is an indication
that the analyser now requires servicing. The service must be carried out by an Autoflame certified
technician or alternatively returned to our factory in the UK or US. The system will still continue to operate
during this time. When both the green & red LED's are illuminated, this indicates that a service is required,
the unit will continue to operate in this condition.
* important: when shipping the E.G.A. unit back to our factory, the unit must be returned in the original
packaging, therefore avoiding additional charges due to transit damage.

The information contained in this manual provides a comprehensive understanding and operation of
the Exhaust Gas Analyser (E.G.A.) units. If using this manual for the first time please read all of it
thoroughly before working on an E.G.A. unit.
The method test and calibration is based on the E.G.A. being connected to PC running the ‘EGA PC
Calibration Software’. (This is a standard product available from Autoflame pt No. DTI20018, com-
prising software supplied on a diskette and a lead that connects from a PC serial port to the EGA setup
port. The lead is identified by red shrouds at each end).
For brevity, the various screens, information and actions that may be carried out on the PC are not
covered in detail in this manual, only a brief overview is given. Operators can quickly familiarise
themselves by working hands on through the various menus on a real system. Throughout the manual
any examples of text that are displayed on the PC screen are shown in bold.
To install the software on the PC make a subdirectory on the hard drive, using the DOS copy com-
mand, simply copy all files from the diskette to the PC hard drive. To start the program type EGATOPC
<return>. (The program runs in DOS only. A mouse is NOT supported). The first time the software is
run select SYSTEM from the main menu. This is the setup of the PC configuration to work as mono-
chrome/colour screen, printer port.... can be set. Once all items have been worked through the
settings are stored immediately. The next time the program is run these settings will be restored
automatically. If the system settings need modifying subsequently then select the SYSTEM menu and
change the settings as desired.
At all times when the EGA is sampling, during day to day operation or testing, it must be kept upright
otherwise condensate may find its way out of the chiller block, into the filter and beyond.
The following information is provided in order to enable the Autoflame E.G.A. system to be set-up,
calibrated and serviced by the end-user. With the local display it is possible to perform all the
operations previously accessed through the EGA to PC software.
To ensure that the combustion readings are correct, it is recommended that the E.G.A. should be
either checked or calibrated once a year. Error codes and fault history displayed on the E.G.A.
screen or through the Micro Modulation unit must be observed. The E.G.A. will log up to 10 faults,
with the oldest being discarded after 10 faults, and will record the error type and date and time
when the error occurred.

The E.G.A. calibration software is accessed using an IBM PC or compatible, running MS DOS
together with the software and data cable provided. The PC operates via the RS 232 serial port,
either COM1 or COM2 and the corresponding serial port in the E.G.A. (see diagram 3.1.3) The
serial port in the E.G.A. is a 9 pin ‘D’ type connector on the cell board. The dust cover on the D
connector must be replaced after use.
To ensure the combustion readings are correct the E.G.A. should be either checked or calibrated
once a year. Error codes and information displayed on the local display, the remote display pod
(used for stand alone analysers) or the M.M. unit (used for combustion trim) must be observed.
The E.G.A. will log faults and retain the types of fault stating the date the fault occurred. Up to 10
values will be logged with the oldest fault being discarded. The logged values may be displayed on
the PC.
1) The data cable that is being used is the correct type as supplied with the software.
2) All interconnections are correct and secure.
3) The E.G.A. is powered and operational.

step 1. Removing the sensor to be replaced. Power the unit down before removing the sensor.
a) For O2 and CO2 sensors disconnect the corresponding plugs associated with the
sensor and the two plastic tubes, now remove the sensor retaining strap and install the
new sensor following the steps in reverse order.
b) For CO, SO2 and NO sensors, disconnect the corresponding plugs associated with
the sensor, now remove the three screws located on the top of the sensor, only replace
the sensor head. Do not remove the plastic tubing from the sensor housing. When
tightening the new sensor in place ensure a tight fit so that the cell does not leak, but
ensure that the screws are not over-tightened as this can lead to cracks in the cell that
would cause leaks.
step 2. Select Calibrate Sensor from the tool bar displayed at the bottom of the screen page. This
command will allow you to change a sensor without the need for test calibration gas.
step 3. After selection of the desired type of sensor from the menu listing, press the Enter key.
step 4. Type in the calibration code at the prompt and type Enter.
step 5. The E.G.A. communications will update the P.C. with information regarding the types of
sensor fitted, i.e. CO, NO, SO2, CO2 and O2.
step 6. Changing of the sensor is now complete, remove serial connection and replace cover
on the E.G.A. unit. If the cover is left off the E.G.A. the internal components may over
heat due to lack of cooling air from the fan located on the base of the unit. If the internal
temperature is above +40 deg C (104F) or below +5 deg C (40F) the pod or M.M. unit
will display “Ambient Temperature High” or “Ambient Temperature Cool” respectively.

The limits control software, which is included in every M.M. E.G.A. module, further extends the
application and control possibilities of the system when the E.G.A. sampling system is fitted. The
function of the limits control software enables the end user or commissioning engineer to insert upper,
lower and absolute limits on either or all of the five combustion parameters that the E.G.A. system
measures; O2, CO2, CO, NO and exhaust gas temperature. To invoke this additional control facility,
follow the commissioning data and technical information sheet within this section.
The limits control software is configured in two distinct forms: “Standard” limits or “Absolute” limits.
Either configuration is a user variable selection via the options in section 2.14.2.4
“Standard” Limits:
“Standard” limits are a set percentage volume, ppm or temperature above or below the commissioned
value for O2CO2, NO and exhaust gas temperature. In the case of CO, it is a specific amount of ppm
(parts per million) above the commissioned value. These values are entered when commissioning of
the E.G.A. system has been completed throughout the load index of the burner.
“Absolute” Limits:
“Absolute” limits are a specific percentage volume (numerical value). In this form only an ultimate low
value may be put on O2 in percentage volume and an ultimate high value for CO2 in percentage volume,
ppm or temperature. In the case of CO an ultimate high value in ppm may be entered. In the case of
exhaust gas temperature an ultimate high temperature maybe entered. These values are entered when
commissioning of the E.G.A. system has been completed throughout the load index of the burner.
The values for either “Absolute” or “Standard” limits are implemented via the Micro Modulation
Controller options as in section 2.14.2.4. When an entered limit is exceeded, either in “Absolute” or
“Standard” configuration, the following alternative control functions are available to the user (selected
via options).
Control Function 1.
The trim function is turned off automatically and the system runs on M.M. fuel and air positions only,
i.e. the original commissioning data. Also an error value is displayed (see error listings). The error value
displayed can be cleared and the trim function reinstated by pressing the “Open” and “Close” buttons
simultaneously when viewing the E.G.A. error or data.
Control Function 2.
The combustion system is shut down, i.e. the burner stops running. Also an error value is displayed (see
error listings). The error value displayed can be cleared and the combustion system restarted by pressing
the “Open” and “Close” buttons simultaneously when viewing the E.G.A. error or data.
(See relevant data sheets and drawings showing the control forms and facilities detailed above).

If EGA is in a hot area, cool air should be directed from a lower level or from outside with a filter.
Install a 1.5" B.S.P. socket on the flue or other point that the sampling probe is to be positioned.
Mount the main body of the probe as far in as possible; adjustment is made by loosening the grub
screws in the flats of the 1.5" B.S.P. bush supplied on the probe.
Keep the thermocouple cable and sample tube away from hot surfaces.
Note: For correct E.G.A. operation, the probe must be positioned without air leaks as this will give
incorrect readings on all sensors.
Push the sample tube onto the inlet tube. Plug the thermocouple connector into the socket and tighten
the screw.
To obtain optimum performance and reliability do not mount the unit in ambient temperatures above
40 degrees C (104F) or areas of direct heat radiation. Ensure that the air flow to the intake in the
bottom of the E.G.A. unit is not impeded and the air temperature is less than 40 degrees C (104F).
Do not mount the units where excessive vibration occurs (floor standing racks are available from
Autoflame Engineering Ltd).
Position the sample tube so that the sample slopes down to the E.G.A. unit at all times.
The E.G.A. unit must always be mounted lower than the E.G.A. probe.

On gas only applications it is unlikely that there should be continual maintenance required on the stack
mounted probe. It is advised that the probe is checked annualy on gas firing applications in order to
ensure that the probe is free of any blockages. On heavy or solid fuel applications, deposits may build
up in the outlet part of the tube. If the tube blocks a 'pump failure' will be displayed on the M.M. unit
(See Section 3.3.1).
The deposits can be cleared by running a long drill (7mm)(.275") up into the outlet tube by hand. Twist
and withdraw the drill often so as to pull out the deposits, otherwise the deposits will be pushed further
into the probe assembly.

If the filter assembly in the E.G.A. sampling probe is blocked then it is necessary to disassemble the probe
and fit a new pre-formed fine filter and coarse filter material. To check if the E.G.A. probe is blocked
connect it to the E.G.A. If the flow drops by more than 100 cc/min then the filtering materials must be
replaced.
To disassemble the probe, remove the two cap headed screws visible on the outside of the assembly (one
each end). The whole of the internal assembly can now be withdrawn from the sample connection end.
Remove all traces of the filtering materials from the stainless steel filter. Check that the ways in the
stainless steel filter are clear and also the inner sample tube. Very carefully (the pre-formed fine filter
is delicate) push the pre-formed filter onto the stainless steel filter.
Slide the inner assembly back into the stainless steel outer casing. Pack the void between the fine filter
and the outer casing with coarse filtering material as shown on the filter assembly diagram. Use a small
rod to pack the material down a little at a time. Reassemble the exhaust gas inlet end plate and the two
screws.
After reassembly connect the probe to the E.G.A. and check that the drop in flow is no more than
50 cc/min.

E.G.A. Exhaust Gas Analysis Other Information and Illustrations
The O2 interface module allows the use of an existing O2 sensor and in-situ probe to be used in
conjunction with the M.M. control.
The O2 analyser is only measuring the O2 reading from the sensor and the exhaust gas temperature
via a thermocouple mounted into the stack. It is important to note that the signal from the O2 sensor
must be a 4-20mA and the thermocouple reading must be a 0-10V signal. These signals must be ranged
as below:
Although the analyser is only measuring the O2 reading from the stack it is possible for the O2 interface
module to extrapolate a CO2 value from the O2 sensor reading. These value can then be displayed
on the M.M. facia (via the E.G.A. button) or via the D.T.I. on a PC or BMS interface.
If this is set to a value of 0 then the efficiency will be calculated from the exhaust temperature and CO2
value and this will be displayed on the M.M. facia. The CO reading will always be displayed as a zero
value.
If this is set to a value of 1 then the CO, NO, exhaust temperature and efficiency will remain blank.
If using the O2 interface module it is possible to use the limits for O2 readings and exhaust gas
temperature readings.
Autoflame manufacture a chilled environmental enclosure that uses a chiller modules and control
panel in order to maintain the E.G.A. that is installed within the enclosure at a set temperature. The
temperature is user-adjustable by means of a thermostat counted on the unit but is nominally set for
35C (95F), which ensures ideal operating conditions for the E.G.A.

IBS Intelligent Boiler Sequencing
The Intelligent Boiler Sequencing software, which is included in every M.M. E.G.A. module, further
extends the application possibilities of the system. The objective of this control form is to ensure
that the minimum number of boiler/burner units are in operation at any one time to satisfy the heat
requirement imposed upon the boiler plant, particularly in the case of multi boiler installations.
There are two variations of I.B.S. software that can be selected by the user via the Options procedure.
The first variation relates to heating boilers and the second variation to steam boilers.
A maximum of ten M.M. E.G.A. modules may be interconnected by a two wire screened data cable:
(See interconnection drawing). Any string of modules interconnected as detailed can have one of
it’s number designated No. 1 or lead boiler. This identifying of “lead” boiler is achieved by either of
the following methods:
Once a “lead” boiler has been selected the system works in the following way:
Typically every five minutes the sequencing software in the lead boiler identifies it’s own firing rate by
looking at the position of the fuel valve in the load index and also the maximum heating capacity of
the No 1. “lead” boiler. This information would normally be entered when this boiler/burner unit
is commissioned. Having established percentage firing rate, and maximum heating capacity, the I.B.S.
software calculates the amount of heat being contributed to the system by this boiler. The I.B.S.
software in the “lead” M.M. E.G.A. module then contacts in turn each of the modules connected to
this loop and gathers similar information from each. The “lead” module’s I.B.S. software then
calculates the minimum number of boiler/burner units that need to be operational to satisfy the building
load, imposed upon the plant at that time, and switches the remainder off. There is a terminal
connection on the M.M. E.G.A. module for controlling a two port valve that would normally be
installed in the boiler’s return pipe connection to the common return header. This facility ensures that
boilers that are switched “off line” do not contribute return temperature water to the flow header
thereby diluting the flow temperature to the building: (See relevant data sheets and drawings showing
the control sequence detailed above).
Example:
There are four boilers interconnected as above, each with a heating capacity of 586kw (2 Mbtu.)
In the event of each boiler firing 440kW (1.5 Mbtu) (3/4 of it’s maximum rate), the No. 1 lead boiler
would instruct the No. 4 boiler to shut down and boilers No.s 1, 2 and 3 would adjust their firing rate
to maximum. In both cases the boilers are contributing 1758kW (6 Mbtu) to the system but, after
intervention of the I.B.S. sequencing software, three boilers only are carrying the load which is a more
fuel efficient method of operation.
If the building load continued to decrease the three boilers would reach a point where they were each
firing 390kW (1.33 Mbtu) each.
At this point the I.B.S. software would switch off the No. 3 boiler as two boilers would be capable
of generating the 1172kW (4 Mbtu) required. When the load on the system increases, the reverse
procedure applies, i.e. when, for example, two boilers are firing at near 100% load and the setpoint
temperature on either of the modules is not being achieved, the I.B.S. software would switch on a third
boiler to assist with the generation of the heat requirement. Any boiler can be nominated “lead” boiler
by the connection of an input to the appropriate terminal or by a software instruction via the D.T.I.
When the I.B.S. software control package is applied to steam boilers, it’s operation is exactly the same
as above but with the additional features and enhancements as explained in the following.
In the case of heating boilers only two states in the control form exist, either on or off. When steam
boiler variation of I.B.S. is optioned there are three states which are controlled sequentially.
The first is “on-line”, this is when the boiler is operating purely under the control of the M.M. E.G.A.
module's internal P.I.D. load controller.
The second state is “Standby Warming”: In this case the boiler is operated at a reduced pressure
setpoint, and runs for a number of minutes each hour: e.g. if the on-line boiler or boilers are set at a
setpoint of 7 bar (100 p.s.i.) the standby warming boiler controls at a setpoint of 5 bar (72 p.s.i.). In
this way if the load increases the standby warming boiler can begin to contribute steam quickly. The
reduced setpoint is a user variable option in the same way as the normal control pressure setpoint.
The number of minutes run time is also adjustable.
The third state is “off-line”, this is with the burner shut down and the boiler cold. If the load on the boiler
house increases, this boiler would move into a “warming” condition.
Apart from the variations detailed above, the steam sequencing works in precisely the same way as
the heating boiler sequencing: The sequencing software package ensures that at all times the minimum
number of boilers are operational to satisfy the load imposed on the boiler house.
Note:
It should be appreciated that all data and control variables can be shown on a screen via the addition
of the D.T.I. module to the data loop. The screen and keyboard can be sited locally in the boiler house
or the whole system can be addressed remotely via the normal telecommunications network.
In the software in the D.T.I. there is a histogram facility which shows the firing rate and state of each
boiler in the boiler house.
Before any attempt is made to implement Sequencing operation, it is necessary that the fuel/air positions
and load index are already entered. Refer to Sections 2 or 3 for Commissioning fuel/air positions.
The load index is implemented using the same ten point load index entry method used for the Flow
Metering as detailed in Sections 2 and 3 of the manual. If the Flow Metering has already been optioned
and the ten point load index entered then it is not necessary to enter this again. However if it is not
entered, proceed as detailed below.
2. Press ENTER whilst 57 and 1 are being displayed in the Air and Required windows
MEMORY respectively.
3. Next time the burner starts the M.M. will automatically go into the ten point load index entry
mode. The firing range is automatically divided into ten equal parts. Each of the ten divisions
from high to low has a fuel flow value in whatever unit of flow measurement the user requires
allocated to it. (All extrapolated fuel flow values between the ten points are calculated from a
“best fit” mathematical formula).
The Air
Position
window will be blank.
The Required window and its associated buttons will be used to enter the
fuel flow in the chosen fuel flow unit per minute value.
Note:
When the positioning motors are moving from one calibrated point to another the
Actual
display flashes. When it reaches the next point to be calibrated, with a
flow value, the display remains steady.
b) The minimum numerical value for fuel flow that can be entered into memory is 0.01.
The maximum numerical value for fuel flow that can be entered into memory is 999.
c) The values are entered in descending order, i.e. Point No.1 is maximum flame and
Point No.10 is at minimum flame.
The 10 sequential points on the load index are allocated automatically by the M.M.
5. When fuel flow has been calculated or read off of a commissioning fuel flow meter the value
is entered as detailed in Point No.4.
The ENTER button is then pressed and the flow value is passed into the M.M. memory.
MEMORY
6. The above detailed data entry routine is repeated until all 10 points have flow values allocated
to them.
7. When the last (10th) point has been entered the M.M. stops the burner and implements the
calculations necessary to enable the Load Index to be actioned. Whilst the calculations are being
carried out a rolling decimal point is displayed.
8. If it is not required to subsequently display the Flow Metering values, set Option 57 back to value
0.

6.11.1 MM Modules
6.11.2 EGA Modules
By means of the Autoflame Data Transfer Interface (D.T.I.) module, all of the operational data, stored
within each of up to ten M.M. modules, can be collected by the D.T.I. for transmission to a local terminal
(PC), screen and printer, Building Management System (B.M.S.) or PLC. This facility can also be
achieved remotely via modem/telecom link up. This cost effective system more than meets the
requirements of today’s E.M.S. and B.M.S. systems in providing all the necessary operational and alarm
status and control of boiler plant to achieve its maximum energy efficient operation.
Up to a maximum of ten M.M. modules (one per burner) can be connected to one D.T.I. module by means
of a series RS485 data link (daisy chain). The information gathered by the D.T.I. from each M.M. module
is then available for transmission to the E.M.S. or B.M.S. via either an RS232 data link, an RS422 data
link, an RS485 data link or modem/telecom data link. The RS232 and RS422 data links are used to send
the data via the Autoflame software package for PC management or MODBUS communications for a
Building Management System. The RS485 data link is used to send the data via Metasys communications.
Remote on/off control of the burners can also be achieved as well as adjustment of the temperature or
pressure setpoints and selection of sequencing order. To accommodate the status information from
other plant related equipment, the D.T.I. can handle upto 160 direct mains voltage inputs, 80 volt free
outputs, 60 4-20mA inputs and 60 4-20mA outputs. Typical remote E.M.S., B.M.S. information and
operational facilities that can be achieved are as follows, but are subject to the particular site and
management system requirements that are to be accommodated.
The capability exists within the standard D.T.I. software for the end user to label any mains voltage signal
input as an "Alarm" condition. When labelled as an "Alarm" condition the system can 'autodial' out onto
the general telephone network to a remote office. It is also possible via a MODBUS to Ethernet
converter to utilise this feature for data aquisition.

PC-DTI Cable (for older DTI units that do not use a standard PC serial lead)
Each analogue I/O unit has 6 analogue inputs and 6 analogue outputs. Each analogue input can be
individually configured for 0-10 V, 0-20 mA or 4-20 mA, and each analogue output can be individu-
ally configured for 0-10 V or 4-20 mA. The unit is primarily for use with a Data Transfer Interface (DTI)
unit. However, it can also be used in conjunction with most M.M. units to convert M.M. items of data
to analogue outputs. Before operation the unit must be setup for its particular modes of operation by
means of a serial port and a personal computer (emulating a terminal, e.g. windows hyperterminal).
When used with a DTI, up to 10 analogue input/output units can be linked together. These are linked
in series (daisy chain) using an RS485 2-core shielded data cable. As well as the actual analogue
inputs and outputs being configurable, the data range for each input and output can also be individu-
ally set. Text labels can also be assigned to each input and output. The latter items (data range/text
labels) can be of use when the DTI is being used for a building management system or programmable
logic controller type interface. It is also possible to set each of the analogue inputs to simply monitor
the required control signal or this can be set to alarm if the signal exceeds a user-defineable value or
if the signal drops below a user-defineable value. These alarm settings are unique for each input and
also carry a time delay setting until the alarm is actually recorded. This ensures that if the signal is
fluctuating, annoyance alarms are avoided. The analogue inputs can also be set to totalise and so an
instantaneous reading is recorded and displayed, but a totalising value is also stored in the background
and is viewable. However, in the vast majority of cases, these setups can be left as supplied.

SETUP
To configure the unit connect a pc serial port to the setup port (use the Autoflame I/O setup lead). The
pc must be running a terminal emulation program with the transmit and receive parameters set as
follows:
(Check the COM port is set to the one actually being used).
Pressing the <return> key should bring up the following opening message:
Pressing the <ESC> key at any time during setup will cause exit from setup. If no keys are pressed for
a period of approximately 5 minutes the unit will automatically exit from setup and revert to normal
operation. During setup the unit will not carry out its normal functions. A test mode can be invoked
during set up so the operation of the inputs and outputs can be checked. Every detail of the setup is
not covered here as it is very repetitive. Experience can be quickly gained by working with an actual
unit in setup mode (note that during normal operation if the PC is connected textual messages are
displayed indicating communication between input/output units and the DTI).
If an existing setting is to be left unchanged then just press the <return> key.
The following shows samples of the various items that can be set. Text that is displayed on the screen
is shown in bold.
Ranges available
0 - 10 volts A
0 - 20 milliamps B
4 - 20 milliamps C
If DTI mode is selected, by just pressing <return> in this example, the following items are displayed
(if M.M. is selected please see later in this section):
The address must be set in sequence for each analog I/O unit, e.g. if there are 3 analogue I/O units
on the system the first should be set address 1, the second to address 2 and the third to address 3.
Conflicts will occur if addresses are not set correctly and communications issues will occur.
The label, low range and high range values can be set for all 6 inputs and all 6 outputs. After the
ouput 6 high range value the setup mode is exited and the following appears on the screen:
SETUP TERMINATED !
If the MM mode of operation is selected then the following items are displayed
Firing rate A
Required value B
Actual value C
Channel 1 position D
Channel 2 position E
Channel 3 position F
Channel 4 position G
MM error H
EGA error I
O2 value J
CO2 value K
CO value L
NO value M
SO2 value N
Exhaust Temperature O
Efficiency P
If the <return> key is pressed the screen refreshes with the same display but for analogue output 2. If
a selection is made then a low range value and a high range value are subsequently requested.
The low and high range values are values at which the output ranges itself from zero to span, i.e.
0-10V or 4-20 mA. After all 6 analogue outputs have been covered the setup mode is automatically
exited and the screen displays:
SETUP TERMINATED !
It must be noted that the numeric values for the low and high range do not accept decimal points. If the
value normally has a decimal point then the value should be entered without the decimal point, e.g.
for the channel 2 position, if the output was set to give 0-10 volts over 10.0 to 80.0 degrees then the
low and high range should be entered as 100 and 800 respectively.
If an analogue I/O unit is connected directly to an M.M. to provide analogue outputs, the first analogue
input may be used to set the the required setpoint. Analogue input channels 2 to 6 are of no relevance
when the unit is used with an M.M.
If the required setpoint is to be set by the channel 1 input then the following options/parameters
should be set on the M.M. (see section 2.14.2.4)
Option #16 = 2
Option #30 = lowest required setpoint
Option #31 = highest required setpoint
Option #33 = 1 (identification number)
Parameter #49 = 1
The channel 1 input can be configured for voltage/current as described in the earlier sections of the
setup procedure.
On later versions of the analogue I/O unit software (3.01 onwards) there is an additional set up to set
the type of MM connected.
Example:
Also on the later versions the following text is displayed when not in set up mode.
M.M. comms increments each time the analogue I/O unit receives data from the M.M. Required
value is the value that has been calculated for transmission back to the M.M.
Note: Sequencing/D.T.I. and analogue I/O unit cannot be used at the same
time if the analogue I/O module is to be used for setpoint changes
on the M.M. If the analogue I/O module is used for monitoring and
standard DTI operation then all of these features are available.

Analogue I/O Module
Each digital I/O unit has 16 mains voltage inputs and 8 individual volt free mains voltage switches.
The unit is used in conjunction with a Data Transfer Interface (DTI) unit. The mains voltage inputs can
be used to wire in any alarms from the boiler house. The volt free mains voltage switches can be used
to turn various components on/off. Before operation the unit must be setup for operation by means of
a serial port and a personal computer (emulating a terminal). Up to 10 digital input/output units can
be chained together. Text labels can also be assigned to each input and output. The latter items (data
range / text labels) can be of use when the DTI is being used for a building management system or
programmable logic controller type interface. It is also possible to set each of the digital inputs to
simply monitor the required control signal or this can be set to alarm if the input signal is present ot not
present, i.e. high or low. These alarm settings are unique for each input and also carry a time delay
setting until the alarm is actually recorded. This ensures that if the signal is fluctuating, annoyance
alarms are avoided.

Each MM/EGA can provide the following information. All values are instantaneous. Each MM/
EGA system updates the DTI approximately once every 20 seconds. Certain values and some
values under certain conditions may require a decimal point. In these cases the user must add the
decimal point accordingly (* only valid if EGA operational on system)
1-7 Number of channels in operation (add one to this to get total number)
0-N EGA error code normal- 0. Any other value indicates an error.

6.19.1 Overview
6.19.1 Overview
Autoflame's DTI unit interfaces with the Autoflame MM/EGA system. In doing so it provides a simple
means of gathering information and presenting it to a bus or network. The DTI will interface with up to
ten MM/EGA systems and up to ten analogue and/or digital units. This section details information
regarding the Data Transfer Interface (DTI) 'Metasys' interface.
6.19.1.2 Requirements
The DTI has a port which provides direct access to the Metasys network. Connection is made via a
screw terminal block labelled 'RS485+', 'RS485-' and 'RS485 screen'. Only the DTI address needs to
be set by the installation engineer. The following diagram illustrates the connections required.
Switch Bank 1 Switch Bank 2
100s 10s 1s ON
OFF
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
N2 +
Selecting the DTI address N2 -
SCREEN
The DTI N2 address is selected by means of Switch Bank 1. Set the three rotary switches appropriately.
For example, to set address number 123: 100s = 1
10s = 2
1s = 3
The DTI can occupy any address on the Metasys network, however the DTI requires eleven free
consecutive address, starting from and including the address selected using the switches. If the DTI is
given address 30, 30 is selected on SW1. However addresses 31 to 40 must also be free on the network.
If Metasys operation is required alongside Modbus operation, the Metasys address and Modbus
address will have to be the same.
If winPCDTI/Modbus/Metasys combinations are used, the required value and enable/disable com-
mands can be implemented by any of these three means.
The DTI occupies 11 (eleven) addresses on the network. The first 10 address are used to read data
from the 10 MM/EGA systems and only the MM/EGa systems. The last (eleventh) address is used to
read and write data to the analogue and digital units. This address is also used to read the status of
MM/EGA systems and write values to them. All of the systems addresses implement internal integer
and byte values only. A full network point table follows.
Technical Note
Please be aware that the Change of State feature is not implemented on the DTI/Metasys interface.
Therefore, normal Metasys COS (alarm limits for analogue values and normal condition for binary)
notification will be defeated. If COS notification is required, then it is necessary for the operator to:
Analogue/binary input points that are mapped in directly that do not support COS will never report a
change of state condition. They will report the current value when read but no alarm notification will
occur. A read will only occur if a focus window is open or a feature requires the current value.

Application Possibilities Pressure Jet/Gun Type Burners
The M.M. system is basically a fuel/air ratio control designed to improve the energy efficiency and
control of a standard pressure jet or rotary burner. The ability to control up to 6 channels, however,
greatly expands the areas in which it can be used and any application in which it is necessary to
precisely mix fuel and air from up to 6 sources is a possibility.
The simplest system requiring only two servo motors for control. The energy saving benefits come from
several sources:
b) Precise control of the fuel/air ratio throughout the combustion range without the compromises
which limit a cam.
c) Control of the setpoint to ±1 degree C. (± 2 degrees F.) or ±1.5 psi via the PID controller,
eliminating the wastage or pressure higher than required. This is set internally within the
M.M. controller and is a 4-term PID loop controller.
d) No compromise required when changing between fuels since the air/fuel ratio for each are
completely seperate.
e) The ability to maximise the turndown capability of the burner without compromising the start
position. This is achieved by the ability to use a golden start position.
Rotary Burners
The M.M. system is basically a fuel/air ratio control designed to improve the energy efficiency and
control of a standard pressure jet or rotary burner.
The ability to control up to 6 channels however greatly expands the areas in which it can be used.
Any application in which it is necessary to precisely mix fuel and air from up to 8 sources is a possibility
and one of the possible applications is the use of rotary burners.
The benefits of this system are similar to that of pressure jet/gun burners but by utilising the third
channel , to control the primary air supply, the best possible mixing is achieved. The energy saving
benefits are as follows:
b) Precise control of the fuel/air ratio throughout the combustion range without the compromises
which limit a cam.
c) Control of the output to ±1 degree C. (± 2 degrees F.) or ± 1.5 psi via the P.I.D. controller,
eliminating the wastage or pressure higher than required. This is set internally within the
M.M. controller and is a 4-term PID loop controller.
d) No compromise required when changing between fuels since the air/fuel ratio for each are
completely seperate.
e) The ability to maximise the turndown capability of the burner without compromising the start
position. This is achieved by the ability to use a golden start position.
The M.M. system is basically a fuel/air ratio control designed to improve the energy efficiency and
control of a standard pressure jet or rotary burner. The ability to control up to 6 channels, however,
greatly expands the areas in which it can be used and any application in which it is necessary to
precisely mix fuel and air from up to 6 sources is a possibility.
The additional channels can be used to control a recirculation damper which is a common method in
the control of NOX production. As with most forms of NOX control this method reduces the
temperature in the combustion chamber and hence reduces thermal efficiency. Use of the M.M./E.G.A.
will minimise the excess air to the burner which itself reduces NOX and will also affect some of this loss
of efficiency.
The M.M. system is basically an air/fuel ratio control designed to improve the energy efficiency and
control of a standard pressure jet or rotary burner. The ability to control up to 6 channels however
greatly expands the areas in which it can be used and any application in which it is necessary to
precisely mix fuel and air from up to 6 sources is a possibility.
The 3rd channel can also be used to control the feed water.
Water Injection
The M.M. system is basically an air/fuel ratio control designed to improve the energy efficiency and
control of a standard pressure jet or rotary burner. The ability to control up to 6 channels however
greatly expands the areas in which it can be used and any application in which it is necessary to
precisely mix fuel and air from up to 6 sources is a possibility.
The 3rd channel can be used in this instance to control the water injection.

Application Possibilities
Changeover on the fly software enables up to two fuels to be accommodated (not four as on the
standard Mk6 product) and if two fuels are commissioned they can run independently or
simultaneously. Changing between the fuels is possible without the need to shutdown the burner.
The system and burner suitability must be considered for each COF application.
Hardware requirements:
The digital IO must be set with identification #1 (use the PC & IO setup lead and follow the
instructions in section 6 of the technical manual- if any other identification number is set then the
communications to the MM will fail). The MM identification number (option #33) can be set to any
number as usual.
Communications to the digital IO module is via the twin burner terminals #23/24 (so twin burner
operation is not possible).
Operational Components:
Three or four servomotors must be used and all servomotors must be connected at all times.
A VSD can be optioned. If a VSD is optioned then the low flame positions/settings on the drive
must be the same for both fuels. Fuel and air positions may vary.
An EGA (Exhaust Gas Analyser) can be used but trim can only be selected on channel 2 (air
damper) and no trim is available on channel 5 (VSD).
COF will not operate if the target ‘change over’ curve is not commissioned.
The fuel flow metering or 10 point load index entry is referenced to channel 2 (air).
A type 1 c/o (changeover) sequence is where the air opens then the valve opens
A type 2 c/o is where the valve closes then the air closes
COF Operation:
For a detailed schematic of the COF procedures please see the attached block diagrams. For these
please use the following key:
CH1 = Channel 1
CH2 = Channel 2
CH3 = Channel 3
LF = Low flame
Only 1 fuel may be selected during burner start-up. If more than 1 input is selected the MM will
reset.
Once the burner is firing/modulating the appropriate indication output will be set (during
commissioning the indication outputs do not operate). Once an indication output is set, COF may
be carried out.
A ‘non current’ input must be set for 5 seconds for it to be recognised. Once recognised it must not
reset or the MM will reset causing the burner to stop. The ‘current’ input may be deselected any
time from now on. The changeover will take place. Once the burner is modulating on the new fuel
the inputs are looked at again. If two inputs are left permanently set, changeovers will occur
repeatedly.
If a COF is attempted and the target fuel ‘fuel available’ input is reset a COF will not be initiated.
If a fuel is burning and its ‘fuel available’ input becomes reset then a lockout is set.
The fuel available input for the selected fuel must be set at all times this fuel is selected.
The COF input has to be set for the COF operation to take place. When the COF input is set there
is a 5 second filter time on the fuel select inputs to allow the inputs to be switched. When the COF
input is reset, the fuel select inputs respond as a standard Mk6 and stop the burner immediately
when deselected. The burner will restart when a fuel is next selected.
The proof of closure inputs must be set when a valve is closed and reset when open. Both inputs
are monitored regardless of which fuel is selected.
Fuel 1 loss
- Fuel 1 available (digital IO input #15) is/has become reset when this fuel selected.
Fuel 2 loss
- Fuel 2 available (digital IO input #16) is/has become reset when this fuel selected.
Fuel 1 cpi
- The cpi (poc) input for fuel 1 (digital IO input #5) is not in the correct state.
Fuel 2 cpi
- The cpi (poc) input for fuel 2 (digital IO input #6) is not in the correct state.
No pre-purge
In the Mk6 Evolution unit it is now possible to allow the burner to start-up as quickly as possible
without the need for a pre-purge, i.e. the pre-purge is bypassed. The major advantage of this control
means that the overall boiler efficiency is increased by minimising the heat loss to the stack during a
purge cycle. Also, the burner starts-up quicker so reaching setpoint in a reduced time is achieved.
According to the EN676 European regulation, the burner is allowed to restart without a pre-purge if
the burner has recycled due to operational temperature/pressure or when the burner on-off switch
has been cycled, i.e. loss of input on terminal #53. When the burner is stopped by a lockout then
this procedure is not allowed and the burner will have to start-up in the normal manner with a pre-
purge. In order for no pre-purge to be allowed, there is one thing that needs to take place and that
is that before the start without a pre-purge, valve proving (VPS) must take place and finish
successfully. If this VPS operation is successful and all of the valves are checked then the burner
may start-up without a pre-purge.
This is has been incorporated into the following software revision and is not in the standard Mk6
software control. Please contact Autoflame Engineering Ltd for such applications.
BC 6.26
MM 6.28
DI 6.29
Operation:
In order to initiate the no pre-purge software, option and parameter #143 must be set to a value of
1. During the first start-up the burner will start in the usual manner and a pre-purge will be initiated.
Until the complete commissioning program has been entered and the burner started successfully, the
burner will start-up every time with the VPS operation and a pre-purge.
Once fully commissioned and the burner started successfully then the system will now allow the no
pre-purge software to be initiated. If the burner goes above its setpoint and so turns off in a
controlled manner, or if the input on terminal #53 (burner on/off switch) is lost, then the next time
the burner starts-up, it will go through the VPS operation and then light off without a pre-purge, i.e.
the burner has shutdown in a controlled manner and the gas valves have been checked for integrity.
If a lockout occurs or the burner shuts down in an abrupt manner, i.e. loss of power to the unit, then
the next time the burner starts-up a complete purge will be initiated.
According to the EN 676 regulation, the burner is only allowed to work in this manner if option and
parameter #129 is set to a value of 0, i.e. the VPS must operate before the burner starts–up.
The start sequence without pre-purge is as follows. Firstly the system goes through its internal tests
and relay checks as per the usual start-up sequence. Then the call for heat on terminal #57
activates and the system will go through the VPS operation. If this operation is successful then the
Mk6 will drive the channels to the light off or start position. Once all channels reach the start
position then the burner will light off in the usual manner.
It is important to note that this control logic only conforms with European regulations at present and
does not conform with NFPA and UL.
Hot Standby
In the Mk6 Evolution unit it is now possible to enable hot standby control (continuous pilot) which
means that when the burner goes above its switching point, i.e. off differential, then the burner
continues to fire with only the pilot valves energised.
This is has been incorporated into the following software revision and is not in the standard Mk6
software control. Please contact Autoflame Engineering Ltd for such applications.

Operation:
To set up this facility option #9 must be set to a value of 3 or 4. This means that once the boiler
gets up to temperature (pressure), the burner will not switch off but will in fact switch to pilot firing.
These additional settings work in the same way as settings 1 and 2 but enable this continuous pilot
operation. If option #9 is set to 3 then the burner goes to pilot firing at an offset above setpoint (set
in option #10) and will switch back to main flame a number of degrees below the setpoint as set in
option #11. If option #9 is set to 4 then the burner goes to pilot firing at an offset above setpoint
(option #10) and will switch back to main flame a number of degrees above setpoint as set in
option #11. When you put option #9 to a value of 3 or 4 then an external on/off thermostat or
pressure switch must be installed.
In the situation when the burner switches back to pilot flame then the burner will open the pilot
valves and after the same time as the second safety time (option #116), the burner will close its
main valves. Also during the hot standby position the gas pressure is checked by the gas sensor, so
it is important that the main valves and pilot valves are connected with a small measuring pipeline.
When the burner comes back to the point when it should go back to main flame the main fuel valves
will open and after the second safety time the pilot valves will be closed and the normal operation
will start again.
In the Mk6 Evolution unit it is now possible to use staged combustion when firing on fuel #2 (oil).
This allows full modulating control when firing on fuel #1/3/4 (natural gas) but allows this staged
combustion control, i.e. energising solenoids, on fuel #2. This is has been incorporated into the
following software revision and is not in the standard Mk6 software control. Please contact
Autoflame Engineering Ltd for such applications.

When firing on fuels #1/3/4, the standard Mk6 operation is observed for full modulation when
commissioning the fuel and air ratio curve. The standard PID control is used.
When firing on fuel #2, there are 4 outputs that can be implemented in order to allow up to 4
stages for staged combustion. These can be used for bypass solenoids or simply to allow additional
fuel to be inputted. These terminals are:
The first nozzle comes on with terminal #60 from the burner control main fuel valve output. The
number of nozzles on is set by offsets from the required setpoint. The offsets are adjustable
between 2 to 50. The three offsets are set by:
Parameter #108 (range 1 to 9, default 7) sets a point between each commissioned point where the
nozzle turns on as a compromise for the transient experienced between air rich & air lean.
Set the close and open positions as standard. Also set the first start position as standard, i.e. nozzle
1 will be energised at this point.
The start button will flash again- press enter. Adjust and set accordingly using the EGA values and
then press enter- this sets the combustion for nozzle 1 which is already on.
The inter button flashes, press inter and adjust the elements to a point where flame should be
maintained ready for nozzle 2 to be set on- press enter- nozzle 2 opens. Adjust and set
accordingly using the EGA values and then press enter- this sets the combustion for nozzle 2.
Inter flashes again- proceed as for nozzle 2- this time for nozzle 3.
High flashes- enter as for previous nozzle- this time for nozzle 4
Enter- RUN flashes- will run to low flame.
Press RUN when low flame attained progresses to modulation.
On fuel #2, all points entered must be ascending including VSD channels
Limitations:
1- Channels #3/4 are switched neutrals and are used for the staged combustion control.
Therefore, these cannot be used as standard for servomotors when firing on fuels #1/3/4,
i.e. FGR will not operate on any fuel (flue gas recirculation).
2- Channels #5/6 can be used on fuel #1, but only channel #5 can be used on fuel #2, i.e.
channel #6 cannot be used on fuel #2.
3- If the burner locks out or restarts during commissioning on fuel #2, then the system will see
this as if the system had been powered down (fuel deselected) and will reset itself.
4- If low flame hold is selected, then the burner runs to low flame- just one nozzle on (terminal
#60 nozzle).
5- If hand is selected, then the burner will go to high fire- all 4 nozzles.
6- Option #147, the air checking window with the air sensor does not check on fuel #2- this is
checked on other fuels.
7- One point change is not possible- the system will reset if attempted.
8- Twin burner cannot be used.
9- There is no EGA trim on fuel #2, only the EGA run screen can be selected. The other fuels
#1/3/4 operate in the normal method.
10- There is no fuel flow metering on fuel #2. The other fuels #1/3/4 operate in the normal
method.
11- The download will not read correctly on fuel #2. The other fuels #1/3/4 operate in the
normal method

When using high viscosity low temperature fuel oils through smaller valves, turbulent flow
characteristics can reduce volume throughput significantly.
All flow pressure graphs published for oil valves are using light distillate oil @ 20°C and a viscosity
of 5 centistokes.
Autoflame will carry out flow characteristic tests on specific valves against customer fuel/viscosity
and temperature specifications. Price on application.
Standard oil valve build execution is stainless steel valve body with stainless steel bobbin. The top
and bottom closing plates are manufactured out of aluminium.
All valves can be supplied in non-standard material at extra cost. Price on application.
The standard execution of the gas valve is an aluminium body with stainless steel metering disk and
stem. The gas valves can also be supplied for corrosive/contaminated fuels in all stainless steel
construction. Price on application.
The standard execution of the FGR valve (flue gas recirculation) is an aluminium body with stainless
steel disk and stem but is dependent upon the application. Two grease nipple points are used for
easy service of the FGR valves.
Maximum pressure is 350 psi (oil valves); 10 psi (GV4 gas valves); 25psi (GVF gas valves).

All of the Autoflame oil valves (types 1-9) can be supplied as metering/simplex or spillback/bypass.
There are eighteen different oil valves available, nine metering and nine spillback valves. Each
valve has different flow charcteristics as shown in this section of the manual. It is important to
ensure the correct oil valve selection for the application, otherwise the correct input and turndown
available for the burner will not be met.
When using the oil control valve for a dual fuel application, i.e. gas and oil, and if the valves are to
be piggy-backed, then the bottom aluminium plate of the oil valve must be removed for assembly
with the gas control valve as in section 8.3.3.
The metering valves are identifiable by the prefix OVM whereas the spillback valves have the
prefix OVS.
For the small oil control valves, types 1/2/5/6/8/9, they have the following dimensions:
The small oil control valves use a small servomotor for positioning control.
For the large oil control valves, types 3/4/7, they have the following dimensions:
The large oil control valves use a large servomotor for positioning control.

8.10.3 Installation
The Autoflame product must only be installed, set-up, commissioned and adjusted by
an Autoflame certified technical engineer.
Positioning
Depending on the condition of installation, consider to reserve spaces for wiring conduit cover, and
manual maintenance works.
Ensure that the industrial servomotor is not powered before making manual operations.
Move the damper by hand and make sure that it is free then set it at totally closed position. Make
sure that the shaft is smooth in motion and there is no decentering/inclination, by turning the manual
handle.
Using the Autoflame supplied industrial servomotor mounting brackets, mount the servomotor to the
bracket and secure. Then mount this assembly to the damper or valve ensuring that the damper or
valve is in the fully closed position and then tighten the bolts and make sure that the assembly is fully
secure.
The Autoflame product must only be installed, set-up, commissioned and adjusted by an
Autoflame certified technical engineer.
To adjust the potentiometer loosen the tamper proof screws using a tamper proof screwdriver as
supplied by Autoflame Engineering. After adjustment, ensure tightness but do not overtighten. Use
fingers only to adjust the position of the potentiometer. Do not raise the potentiometer from the PCB.

Note:
Do not overturn the handle with excessive strength, as otherwise, it may cause problems with the
other parts on the servomotor. Any excessive force may damage the servomotor.
If power is not removed then the servomotor will try to return to the original position during manual
operation. This may damage the servomotor and may cause physical injury.
Maintenance
Lubrication: Since the unit is sufficiently lubricated with a long life and pressure proof
di-sulfied molybdenum grease (MOS2), no further lubrication is required.
Periodical Test: In case the motor is very seldomly rotated or after a long period of rest, it is
suggested to have a periodical test and check if there is no irregularity. Remove
power to the servomotor and check manual operation as described above. Check
wiring and visually inspect the integrity of the valve.
8.10.5 Troubleshooting
Within the control of the Mk6 M.M. there are up to six channels of control for the fuel/air ratio.
The fifth and sixth have typically been used for variable speed drive (VFD) control using a 4-20mA
output to the drive and a 4-20mA feedback signal from the drive at each positon from high to low
fire. It is now possible, using a new set of servomotors, to use these two channels for additional
servomotor control. These servomotors use a 4-20mA input signal and send back a feedback signal
to the M.M. control. Therefore, although these servomotors are similar in appearance and rating to
the industrial servomotors, they operate in a different manner.
The diagram below shows the wiring between the 4-20mA servomotor and the Mk6 if the
servomotor is used for channel 5. Please use terminals #4/6 and #13/15 for channel 6 use.
