Safety Safety Intended use The flame amplifier shall be used exclusively to detect flames in combination with a suitable flame scanner. The flame scanner and flame amplifier together constitute a complete flame monitoring system for burners with a ran- dom capacity and random fuels in single and multiple burner systems.
Safety Requirements on persons Work on/with the device may only be performed by per- sons authorized to do so based on their training and quali- fication. Furthermore, such persons have to have been commissioned by the operating company. Do not allow any persons who are being apprenticed, ed- ucated, instructed or on a general training programme to work on the device without the constant supervision of an experienced person.
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 appro- priate authority/person of any changes that occur (in- cluding 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 ! In keeping with the electrical regulations, work on electri- cal / electronic parts / components may only be carried...
Safety 2.5.3 Testing in keeping with the German Work- place Safety Ordinance (BetrSichV) In case of the coupling or installation of devices from vari- ous manufacturers or suppliers, the operating company has to carry out a precise test, prior to start-up, in keeping with the German Workplace Safety Ordinance (BetrSichV) in force and the applicable electrical regulations.

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 298:2012-11. Every failure of component part will cause the safe switching- OFF of the flame relay.
Report any damage After arrival of the device and accessories, notify the ship- ping agent, the insurance company and BFI Automation immediately in case of any damage caused by transport or inadequate packaging. Take steps to minimise and prevent further damage.
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.
Description Description Functional description Flame amplifier, type 3001S, evaluates the pulses of the flame scanner and uses the information to activate the flame relay in case of an adequate flame signal. The in- tensity of the flame signal is indicated by means of the bar-graph displays on the front panel.
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 fail- ure of the flame monitoring system, the control logic re- sponds 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 vari- able and can be set by means of DIP switch S1. The ad- justable 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 sec-...
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"...
Maintenance and servicing Maintenance and servicing The flame amplifier requires no maintenance. For cleaning, use a moist cloth to wipe the front panel from the outside only.
