Electrical connection of flame detectors

Commissioning notes

Building Technologies Division
For use in applications in dual-fuel burners or oil burners, the oil supply must be
equipped with two shutoff valves connected in series.
Observe the following:
EN 298:2012, Section 7.101.3.3 Prepurge time for oil burner control systems and the
corresponding application standards.
It is important to achieve practically disturbance- and loss-free signal transmission:

Never run the detector cable together with other cables
– Line capacitance reduces the magnitude of the flame signal
– Use a separate cable

Observe the maximum permissible detector cable lengths (refer to «Technical data»)

2 UV detectors QRA2 / QRA4 / QRA10 can be connected in parallel (observe the
warning note)

In connection with the QRA2 / QRA4 / QRA10, earthing of terminal 22 is mandatory

The ionization probe is not protected against electric shock hazard

Locate the ignition electrode and the ionization probe so that the ignition spark
cannot arc over to the ionization probe (risk of electrical overloads) and that the
ignition sparks cannot adversely affect the supervision of ionization

Supervision with both ionization probe and UV detector QRA2 / QRA4 / QRA10 is
possible, but for safety reasons – with the exception of the second safety time «t9»
– only 1 flame detector may be active at a time. At the end of the second safety
time, 1 of the detectors must be inactive, however, that is, the detected flame must
have extinguished, e.g. by switching off the ignition valve via terminal 17
When commissioning the plant or when doing maintenance work, make the following
safety checks:
Safety check to be carried out
a) Burner start with flame detector darkened
b) Burner start with flame detector exposed to
extraneous light
c) Burner operation with simulated loss of
flame; for that purpose, darken the flame
detector in operation and maintain that state
(not possible with ionization)
Burner startup with response from air
d)
pressure switch interruption
Burner operation with air pressure failure
e)
simulation
Anticipated response
Lockout at the end of «TSA»
Lockout after no more than 40
seconds
Lockout
Start prevention / lockout during
the prepurge time
Immediate lockout
