Safety Safety instructions The following instructions on accident prevention have to be observed when operating the flame amplifier. Only operate the device if it is in a proper state ! • Do not remove or disable safety devices. • Check for externally noticeable damage and defects prior to using the device ! 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 ! Prior to any work on the electrical equipment, disconnect the flame monitoring system from the power supply net- work !

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.
Description Application In combination with a BFI flame scanner, the flame ampli- fier 3016 offers a fail-safe flame monitoring system. The fast switch-off time (adjustable between 200 and 650 ms) can be considered as the most excellent feature. More- over, a malfunctioning channel has also been integrated, indicating flame scanner;...
Description A self-test rate is generated. The pulses (or digits) sup- plied by the flame scanner are conditioned at first, to eliminate cable loss and interference. Subsequent to this, the signal path is split into two. An analogue monitoring channel ensures a safe switch-off in case of a failure of the parallel operating processor cir- cuit.

Description Switch-Off time The switch-off time is the time between flame failure and drop-out of the flame relay. This time is adjustable by means of a turn-switch (S 2) The switch is situated on the main PCB, i.e. the plug- in unit has to be removed from the rack for this purpose.
Description Option unit An additional jumper block with four DIP switches (S1.x) allows: 1. A manual selection of the sensitivity channel II 2. n.n. 3. The storage of a detected failure 4. The selection of the Intensity output signal 0/4 – 20mA 5.6.1 Choice of sensitivity level II The sensitivity level can be chosen by DIP switch S1.1.

Description Wiring The 24 V DC power supply is internally protected by a 500mA fuse which is soldered on the PCB. The dimen- sion of the fuse is of such a value that a flame scanner could be connected at the same line. A damage of the fuse is only expected by a defect of the system or by a wrong wiring.
The pin con- nectors a4, a6, a8, a10 and a12 are used to connect a flame scanner. The pin connectors c4, c6, c8, 10 and c12 are used to connect the second flame scanner. flame amplifier backpanel flame scanner 3016 +24VDC +24VDC...
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.
