* Because the voltage to the fuel valve also drops, the fuel supply may decrease, causing flame failure. Playback monitor / flame logger The playback monitor and flame logger functions facilitate maintenance of equipment. For details, refer to Flame Monitor Model AUR355 User’s Manual for Communication Functions, No. CP-SP-1453E.
Chapter 5. Trial Operation and Adjustment WARNING The ignition time for the pilot and main burners should not exceed the time defined by the burner or device manufacturer. If it does, fuel will accumulate in the combustion chamber and form an explosive mixture, resulting in a very dangerous situation in which an explosion could occur.
Page 39
Chapter 5. Trial Operation and Adjustment Ignition spark response WARNING Make sure that the AUD flame detector does not detect ultraviolet rays from a source other than the burner. If the AUD detects other ultraviolet rays, it will continue to send flame detection signals even if the burner flame goes out.
Page 40
Chapter 5. Trial Operation and Adjustment Handling Precautions • Ensure that the ultraviolet detector does not detect ultraviolet rays other than those from the burner flame. Sources of ultraviolet radiation (other than the burner flame) that can activate the AUD flame detector include the following. Examples: Ultraviolet ray sources 1371 °C or hotter red-hot furnace wall (within 50 cm...

The voltage can be checked on the 7-segment display or by connecting a flame meter to terminals 25 & 26 on the front connector. It is necessary to obtain a monitor/communication connector (81447514-001) to connect the FSP136A100 and the AUR355. Flame voltage display...
Page 42
Pilot turn-down test WARNING For equipment that uses the AUR355 to detect both the pilot and the main burner flame, carry out the pilot turn-down test carefully. If the flame detector is set so that it detects a pilot flame that is too small to ignite the main burner, this device will not be able to detect a flame failure in the main burner.
Page 43
Chapter 5. Trial Operation and Adjustment (6) Changing the gas pressure between minimum and maximum, repeat steps (1) to (5) to check if the main burner ignites without fail. Handling Precautions • If it is necessary to repeat this test, in order to prevent an explosion, stop all combustion equipment devices each time the test is finished, and completely discharge unburned gas or fuel that has accumulated in the chamber, ducts, and flues.
Chapter 6. Maintenance and Inspection WARNING Before mounting, removing, or wiring, be sure to turn off the power to this device and all connected devices. Failure to do so may result in an electric shock. Do not touch terminal 14 (F) after turning the power off. An electric charge may remain on terminal 14 (F) and cause an electric shock.
