Immediately notify the ap- propriate authority/person of any changes that occur (including changes in operating performance).
Safety Safety devices 2.4.1 Fundamental aspects Check the safety equipment and locking devices on the device for safe operational condition. Only operate the device if all safety devices are present and enabled. The operating company or operator of the flame amplifier is responsible for the proper operation of the device.
• Operating and auxiliary materials as well as exchanged parts have to be disposed of in a safe and eco-friendly way. • Spare parts supplied by BFI Automation or approved of by BFI Automation only may be used.
Safety 2.5.2 Electrical / electronic devices Danger to life caused by electrical current! Contact with live wires or components presents a danger to life !

Technical data Device design The system slide-in module of the flame amplifier is based on a signal processor circuit with fail-safe self-monitoring system and has been approved for continous operation in keeping with European standards EN 240 and 298 as well as in conformity with TRD 411-414.
Transport, installation and connection Packaging The flame amplifier is shipped in different packagings. The most frequently used packaging materials are card- board and plastics (foils, foamed material). The packaging material also includes materials added to the packed goods as protection against moisture (e.g. bags with sili- cagel).

Transport, installation and connection Connection 4.7.1 Electrical connection Danger to life caused by electrical current ! The safety instructions and local safety regulations have to be observed during connection ! For connection data, please refer to the chapter titled "Technical data" as well as to the following terminal dia- gram.
Transport, installation and connection Storage Do not unpack the packed flame amplifier and accesso- ries. The following conditions apply to storage: • Store in a dry place. Maximum relative humidity 60 %. Make sure that packages are not stored in the open. In addition, It has to be assured that the floor in the stor- age area will remain dry throughout the storage period.
20 mA. In addi- tion, the flame amplifier generates all signals which are required for self-tests. The self-test and failsafe flame amplifier 3001D consists of two separate signal processing channels of different design. Internal and external disturbances of any kind lead to immediate actuation of the safety logic.
Description 5.1.1 Measurement channel (M) The analogue measurement channel consists of an at- tenuation filter with signal limiter and downstream voltage- to-current converter. The converter supplies the internal analogue intensity display and the remote display instru- ment with 0 to 20 mA or 4 to 20 mA through output termi- nals.
Description 5.1.2 Monitor channel (RM) The monitor channel processes the flame signal of the flame scanner. It comprises all periodic self-tests of the system required for continuous operation. In case of a failure of the flame monitoring system, the control logic responds immediately and the monitor channel RM switches-OFF.
Description 5.1.4 Variable switch-ON threshold (hysteresis) The switch-ON threshold of the evaluation channel is variable and can be set by means of DIP switch S1. The adjustable range is between 25 and 75% of the analogue flame signal. The device has been factory set to 25%. A higher switch-ON threshold may sometimes be used to block out light from neighbour burners.
Description 5.1.7 Safety switch-OFF times The safety switch-OFF times of the operating process can be set by means of DIP switches S2 to S5 (cf. chapter 6). The following allocation applies: S2 - RF channel on time 2 S3 - RF channel on time 1 S4 - RM channel on time 2 S5 - RM channel on time 1 The switch-OFF times can be set to between 1 and 6...
Description 5.1.8 Signal outputs The potential-free relay contact for the "Flame on / off" message is internally protected by a fine wire fuse (T 1 amp). This prevents a fusing of contacts. When the device has been plugged-out, the fuse is accessible and can be replaced, if and when necessary.

Operation of the flame amplifier Operation of the flame amplifier All installation and connection work may be carried out by qualified and approved specialist staff only ! Prior to initial operation, all regulations and adjustment parameters set up by the operating company of the burner have to be observed ! For the operation of the flame amplifier, please observe the separate operating instructions of the flame scanner !
Operation of the flame amplifier Initial operation of the flame amplifier The flame amplifier provides the flame scanner with oper- ating voltage and the self test pulse, and ensures the evaluation of the flame scanner signals. All safety-related functions are carried out by the self-checking flame ampli- fier.
Operation of the flame amplifier Operation settings Prior to the initial operation, check the setting of the switch-ON times and adjust, if and when necessary. DIP switches S2 to S5 are accessible on the upper side of the device. For this purpose pull the flame amplifier out of the 19"...
