The burner control unit QBK [ cubic ] is suitable for the
control of pilot burners up to 350 kW and main
burners of unlimited capacity, pursuant to EN 746-2,
for intermittent or continuous operation.
Flame control by means of UV scanner or ionization
rod (even shared with ignition) and high-temperature
option for flame surveillance bypass.
Specific output for air valve or fan, following cycle or
independently controllable.
Times and cycle are configurable: the same device can
be used to control different types of gas and oil
burners, meeting all relevant requirements.
A led-bar flame signal indicator and an advanced self-
diagnostic system provides the display of either the
cycle status, lockouts and failures.
Remote control and supervision of the burner can be
implemented by means of traditional electrical wiring,
or through built-in communication line.
