Measuring The Ionisation Current; Checking The Air And Gas Pressure On The Combustion Head - Riello RS 160/E BLU Installation, Use And Maintenance Instructions

7.2.5

Measuring the ionisation current

The burner is fitted with an ionisation system to check that a
flame is present.
The minimum current for control box operation is 4 µA. The Op-
erator Panel visualises "30%" (see "Parameter list" at page 46,
parameter no. 954).
The burner provides a much higher current, so controls are not
normally required.
However, if it is necessary to measure the ionisation current, dis-
connect the plug-socket on the ionisation probe cable and insert
a direct current microammeter with a base scale of 100 µA - see
Fig. 38.
Carefully check the polarities!
WARNING
7.2.6 Checking the air and gas pressure on the
combustion head
To carry out this operation a pressure gauge must be used to
measure the air and gas pressure at the combustion head, as
shown in Fig. 39.
