CONTROL SYSTEM The heater has all operational controls located in a watertight control panel mounted on the lateral side of the unit. The control panel consists of: • a 3-position switch for heating function: normal operation, stop or thermostat operation • plug to connect a remote room thermostat • power cord • high voltage transformer that generates a spark to ignite the flame • control flame box to handle starting / running cycle (see paragraph 2.). The control flame box is equipped with a reset The control system utilizes: • a safety shut off switch that is an overheat thermostat shutting down the unit if the temperature of combustion chamber and outlet air exceed the maximum allowed level • an air pressure switch, that stops the unit if the air flow is not sufficient for combustion • a flame detector, that is a photocell monitoring constantly the flame presence and its integrity • a pair of ignition rods to create the ignition spark FUEL SYSTEM The fuel system consists of: • fuel tank, that is steel, corrosion proof The fuel tank has a drain plug located underneath it to allow discharge of residual fuel before cleaning.
2. FLAME CONTROL RUNNING / FAILURE CYCLE 2.1 STARTING CYCLE Room thermostat Burner Fan Ignition Transformer Fuel Valve Photocell Reset Lamp TP 20 s TS 5 s 30 s The flame control unit starts the sequence of operation after a heating request (normal operation or thermostat operation) and it consists of the following steps: • Self-test (less than 3 s): self-check of electronics efficiency; • Purging time TP (20 seconds): fan motor and ignition transformer are simultaneously switched on while the fuel valve remains closed to eliminate any fuel or unburnt residual. During the purging stage, the flame signal is constantly monitored for any kind of failure leading to combustion prevents the burner ignition.
