competent professional, licensed by a state or other government. Inappropriate application
of this product could result in an unsafe condition hazardous to life and property.
The Fireye SBSeries Flame Safeguard Control is a compact, microprocessor based, modular
burner management system designed to provide automatic ignition and continuous flame
monitoring for com-mercial sizes of heating and process equipment firing any type of fuel.
The SBSeries are tested to EN298.
The control unit includes all the necessary digital logic and analog measuring circuitry to control
the sequence and monitor the flame of single gas, oil or combination gas/oil burners. Three
available control sequences are no-purge, purge, and modulation (air damper control). The part
number specifies the various features such as the flame sensor type, no purge, purge, modulation,
proof of air opening at start, and timings; thus the designer has control and protection against field
tampering of critical sequences.
LED indicators are available on the front of the unit that provide current operating status of the
burner system including lockout alarm. A test jack is recessed into the front cover that provides
real time reading of the connected flame sensor. This same test jack is also used to connect to an
alpha-numeric display, SB20896. A push button provides reset from lockout condition as well as
placing the unit in a check condition usable for pilot turn down test.
The SBSeries flame safeguard control family are of plug-in design and available in models that
operate at 120 VAC, 50/60 Hz and 230 VAC, 50/60 Hz making them universally acceptable.
*The wiring base provides a convenient means for connecting field wiring from the burner and
valve system to the control unit. There are three styles of bases: an internal terminal base that
provides a guarded wiring compartment; an external terminal base for use within a protective
control panel; and an expanded external terminal base for use with the modulation sequence
control units.
Sensors that may be used with the SBSeries include flame rod (rectified ionization), ultra-violet
(UV) scanners, and self-checking UV scanners for continuous operation. Four types of non self-
checking UV scanners meet the demands of various environmental conditions.
