Conventions Used in This Manual ■ The safety precautions explained in the following section aim to prevent injury to the operator and others, and to prevent property damage. WARNING Warnings are indicated when mishandling this product might result in death or serious injury. CAUTION Cautions are indicated when mishandling this product might result in minor injury to the user, or physical damage to the...
Safety Precautions WARNING Use this device only in combination with Azbil Corporation’s burner controllers. Make sure that this device does not detect ultraviolet rays other than those of the burner flame. If it responds to other ultraviolet radiation, flame failure in the burner will not be detected.
Page 5
CAUTION This device is designed for both batch operation of the burner (at least one start and stop in a 24-hour period) and continuous operation (nonstop combustion for 24 h or longer). It must be used with a burner controller having a dynamic self-checking function. Installation, wiring, inspection, adjustment, etc., should be carried out by a trained and experienced technician with knowledge and technical skills related to combustion equipment and flame safeguard control devices.

Chapter 1. OVERVIEW ■ Overview The AUD300C1000 Advanced Ultraviolet Flame Detector (hereafter this/the de- vice) is designed to detect ultraviolet radiation from an oil or gas burner flame, for use with both batch and continuous operation burners. The AUD300C1000 is used in combination with a dedicated burner controller.

Chapter 2. MOUNTING WARNING Before mounting or removing, be sure to turn off the power to this device and all connected devices. Failure to do so may result in electric shock. If this device is installed near a source of ultraviolet rays other than the burner flame or in an atmosphere that interferes with UV rays, as described below, take sufficient countermeasures.
Chapter 2. MOUNTING ■ Methods of monitoring burner flame ● Monitoring of the pilot flame only (continuous, intermittent pilots) The main burner must be reliably ignited even with the smallest pilot flame that this device can detect. For this reason, throttle the pilot manual fuel valve so that the main burner can be barely ignited.
Chapter 2. MOUNTING Handling Precautions • If the above temperature range is not observed, a malfunction of the tube unit or shutter unit of this device, or unnecessary shutoff, may occur. • When this unit is not being used to detect a flame, do not allow the ambient temperature to exceed 100 °C.
Chapter 2. MOUNTING The allowable range of the mounting posture is that the upper limit is 90° (conduit tube port becomes horizontal) and the lower limit is 45°. Upper limit 90° 90° Horizontal plane 45° Vertical plane Side Lower limit 45° Handling Precautions •...

Chapter 2. MOUNTING ● Mounting space Leave a sufficient space for easy maintenance, inspection, and service work. Reducing socket AUD300C Monitoring pipe, 1" or more (Use 2" to 3" pipe.) Tees Furnace wall Tapered monitoring hole Connection nipple (1") Weld this part Burner Plate...
Chapter 2. MOUNTING ● Temporary welding for monitoring pipe positioning (1) Preparing a monitoring pipe and making the mounting hole Make the mounting hole at the selected location for the monitoring pipe. Cut threads on one end of the monitoring pipe and cut it to the desired length, making it as short as possible.
Chapter 3. WIRING WARNING Before doing any wiring work, be sure to disconnect the equipment power to prevent electrical shock. When measuring the voltage between terminal F and terminal G of this device in order to check the wiring, do not touch any part of the terminals. Doing so may result in an electric shock. CAUTION Installation, wiring, inspection, adjustment, etc., should be carried out by a trained and experienced technician with knowledge and technical skills related to combustion equipment...
Chapter 3. WIRING ■ Wiring check Before applying voltage to this device, check that the wiring is correct. ● Steps (1) In the relay box, disconnect the blue and yellow wires that come from the AUD300C. (2) Turn on the power to the burner controller. (3) Measure the DC voltage between terminals F and G in the relay box using a circuit tester or a digital voltage meter.
Chapter 4. ADJUSTMENT ■ Before measuring the flame voltage Before measuring the flame voltage, execute an operational check of this device using the flame voltage output terminals of the burner controller. Model No. Flame voltage output terminals AUR300C Terminal 9 (+) AUR350C Terminal10 (−) AUR450C...
Chapter 4. ADJUSTMENT ■ Pilot turndown test This test is intended to check that any pilot flame detected by this device will reli- ably ignite the main burner, even if the gas pressure and air pressure have changed to their worst possible conditions. WARNING To prevent explosion, carry out the pilot turndown test carefully.
Chapter 4. ADJUSTMENT ■ Ignition spark response test WARNING Make sure that this device does not detect ultraviolet rays other than those of the burner flame. If it responds to other ultraviolet rays, flame failure in the burner will not be detected. As a result, fuel will continue to be discharged, causing a very serious explosion hazard.
Chapter 5. TROUBLESHOOTING WARNING Before removing, mounting, or wiring this device, be sure to turn off the power to the device and all connected devices. Failure to do so may cause electric shock. Do not touch terminals F or G on this device or on the burner controller immediately after the power to the burner controller has been turned OFF.
Chapter 6. MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION WARNING Before mounting, removing, or wiring this device, be sure to turn OFF the power to the module and any connected devices. Failure to do so may result in an electric shock. Do not touch terminals F or G on this device or on the burner controller immediately after the power to the burner controller has been turned OFF.
If the burner manufacturer provides specific instructions for maintenance and inspection, be sure to observe them. • For inquiries about device failure, repair service, etc., contact the azbil Group. ■ Replacement of the shutter unit and tube unit using the AUD Maintenance Kit (AUD60A1000)

Chapter 6. MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION ● Mounting the shutter unit onto the flange unit (1) Fit the O-ring that is included in the AUD Maintenance Kit onto the flange unit. (2) Loosen the 2 screws holding the new (AUD Maintenance Kit) tube unit and remove the tube unit, holding it by the back of the unit.
Page 26
Chapter 6. MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION Handling Precautions • Terminals S1 and S2 do not have a specified polarity. When using a multime- ter, before measuring the shutter voltage check the polarity using a wide volt- age range so that the needle does not go off the scale on the minus side. >>...
