  • Page 4: General Information

    The X4 burner is a new generation of gas power burner designed to fire natural gas and propane against a positive furnace pressure. The burner is a self-contained unit comprised of a blower assembly, firing head, ignition system, combination gas valve, flame safeguard and control panel. It only requires connection of 115V electrical supply, minor gas train piping, connection to gas service, and operating controls.

    Registration Card. The Warranty Registration Card is also a request form for a Spare Parts List. An on-hand supply of spare parts is highly recommended in case of emergency shutdown. We request that you complete and return the card to Power Flame in the enclosed self-addressed envelope as soon as possible.

    Figure 2: Mounting in Boiler Base Combustion chamber sizing: Gas Input Width Length MBTU/HR Inches Inches Table 2: Combustion Chamber Recommended Dimensions Whichever method of mounting is chosen, the burner blast tube must be recessed into the front wall surface from 0” to 1/2”. Serious Damage To The Burner May Result If The Blast Tube Is Extended Into The Combustion Chamber.

    Contact your local gas service company to ensure that adequate gas service is available and to review applicable installation codes for your area. All gas piping installations must be in accordance with NFPA 54, National Fuel Gas Code, Definitions and General Field Recommendations, CGA 3.0, Canadian Natural Gas Installation Code CAN/CGA B149.1 or Propane Installation Code, CGA B 149.2.

    Refer to wiring diagram shipped with burner and typical wiring diagrams Figures 5 and 6. The two power leads (black and white) are located inside the burner panel. Electrical installation must be made in accordance with the NEC NFPA 70 or Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1 and applicable local codes.

  • Page 13: Figure 9: Detail Direct Spark Gun Assembly

    Set the burner’s combustion air inlet damper to the approximate setting as shown in this 7.13.2 manual for the desired firing rate (Table 5). Also, verify that the correct main orifice is installed in the main orifice tee. 7.13.3 Open the main manual gas valve and turn the combination gas valve to ON. Turn the burner power on.
  • Page 14: Combustion Arrangement Requirements

    The X4 burner has been designed to fire with high combustion efficiency into combustion chambers with positive, balanced or negative pressures using natural or LP gas only. Caution: In order to fire efficiently, the burner requires an adequate supply of combustion air.

    The correct test instruments are: analyzer (electronic or Fyrite absorption system) CO indicator (Monoxor or similar) Stack thermometer Draft gauge or inclined manometer U-tube manometer or calibrated 0-10” and 0-35” w.c. pressure gauge Combination volt/ammeter D.C. Micro-Ammeter Burner fails to start: Bad fuse or switch open on in-coming power source, or motor overload out.

    Verify that the pilot and or direct spark electrodes are still within specifications (set per drawing 7, 8 and 9 in this manual). Verify the proper operation of the Primary Safety Control, airflow switch, and operating controls. Check safety gas shutoff valves for gas tightness. In the event of extended shutdown, the main power should be turned off and the main manual gas shutoff valve should be closed.

    LF-24 BELIMO ACTUATOR 11.1 Refer to typical wiring diagram for X4M burner (Figure 13). Upon a call for heat, the blower motor starts, closing the combustion air switch. Power is supplied to the 24-vac transformer. Initially, power to the actuator is held out through one set of normally open contacts on the 24-vac relay. 11.2 Since power is not supplied to the actuator, it will spring return clockwise to the open damper position if not already there.

    11.15 When the main gas valve is energized, after a proven pilot or during direct spark ignition on DSI burners, the 24-vac relay will also be energized. 11.16 One set of normally open relay contacts close which interlocks the high fire auxiliary end switch. Another set of relay contacts closes and completes the modulation circuit.

    12.1 The main difference between the X4M and X4M-HTD is the use of the 1/3 hp ODP motor on the HTD model to prevent air infiltration at the low end of the firing rate. 12.2 Each of the HTD model’s maximum firing rate may be reduced by either lowering the combination valve regulator outlet pressure or by placing an orifice in the orifice tee (see Fig.
