Function Summary This section describes the features of the VeriFlame CE. It NTRODUCTION is presented in three categories: Standard Features, Optional Features, System Errors and Lockout Conditions, and the LED Indicator Lights. The following functions are standard features on the TANDARD EATURES VeriFlame models as noted.

system will lockout and the alarm output and the air failure light will come on. However, if the unit has the recycle option and the main output has been operating for at least 35 seconds, the VeriFlame will shut-down and restart.

Interrupted or An interrupted pilot shuts off at the time specified by the part Intermittent Pilot number after the main valve is energized. An intermittent pilot (specified as 00 time) continues during the entire main flame firing cycle. Spark, Pilot Flame & During the trial for ignition period (TFI), the pilot and ignition Main Flame outputs remain energized.
Page 16
The display incorporates the following functions: 1) Provides status messages for the Veri-Flame sequence, see Section 8 “Remote Display Messages” on page 38. 2) Indicates lockout conditions when they occur, as well as the amount of time into the sequence when the lockout occurred.

System Installation In this section, the necessary procedures are detailed to integrate NTRODUCTION a VeriFlame into a burner system. Specific wiring directions are given for the various functions described in the previous section. Note: Shut off the power supply before the VeriFlame is removed or replaced from the base.

sensing port. Power the valve from the blower output terminal 8. An alternate method if accepted by local codes: the air switch could be wired between the combustion blower output and the air switch input. Connecting the air switch in this manner will satisfy the open contact (air short) check during startup.
Page 22
High Purge Switch For modulation models: the system can be wired to check for Input high purge position for the high fire purge portion of the sequence. To use this feature, the red jumper in the base must be cut and the (Terminal D) high purge position switch must be connected from terminal 6 to D.

Sensor Installation This section describes the proper wiring, installation and NTRODUCTION sighting considerations for the sensors used with a VeriFlame. Warning: Incorrect sensor installation may cause the sensor to generate a false flame signal, possibly resulting in the collection of unburned fuel in the combustion chamber.
Page 28
Note: Unshielded sensor wiring must not be run in common with other wires; it must be run in separate conduit. Use 1mm (#14 to #18 AWG) wire suitable for 90°C (194°F) and 600 volt insulation. Multiple unshielded flame sensor wiring must not be run together in a common conduit or wire way.

area between the flame rod and spark plug may eliminate the interference. CANNERS Warning: Use only Eclipse scanner models as listed for operation with the VeriFlame. When installing scanners, please consider the following: 1) Position the scanner within 450 mm (18") of the flame. Consult factory for longer distances.
Page 30
Test Procedures This section describes the test procedures that must be NTRODUCTION performed after installation to insure that the VeriFlame is operating properly; these procedures are mandatory. Insert the positive probe of a 0-15 VDC, digital voltmeter LAME IGNAL into the test point on the front cover of the VeriFlame; TRENGTH connect the negative probe to S2 or alternately to ground.

pilot flame. Repeat steps 1 through 6 until the main burner lights off smoothly and reliably. 1) Manually shut off the fuel supply to the pilot and the ILOT LAME AILURE main burner. 2) Press the test/reset button in for the Pilot Test Mode, see page 14.
Page 32
Maintenance and Troubleshooting This section is divided into two parts. The first part NTRODUCTION describes the maintenance procedures. The second part describes troubleshooting procedures and includes identifying problems and interpreting the operating conditions by the lit LEDs on the front cover. Preventative maintenance is the key to a reliable, safe and AINTENANCE efficient system.
Page 33
1) Inspect flame-sensing devices for good condition and ONTHLY HECK cleanliness. Keep scanner lenses clean with a soft, damp cloth, since small amounts of dust will measurably reduce the flame signal strength. Wash the flame rod electrode and insulator with soap and water, then rinse and dry thoroughly.
