DESCRIPTIONThe Systemis a microprocessorbased,burner management controlsystem with self-diagnostics, non-volatile memory and vocabulary of 42 different messages whichscroll out on the message center to provide the operator with status and failure mode information.

The FLAME-MONITOR Series is designed to provide the proper burner sequencing, ignition andflame monitoring protection on automatically ignited oil, gas and combination fuel burners. Inconjunction with limit and operating controls,it programs the motor, ignition and fuelvalves to provide for proper and safeburner operation. On a safety shutdown, the message center willadvise the operator that the control is in “lockout’and scroll a message indicating the cause as wellas the position in the sequence it occurred.

Interchangeable programmer and flame amplifier modules allow for complete versatility in selectionof control function,timing and flamescanning means. Functions such aspre-purge timing,recyclinginterlocks, high fire proving interlock and trial for ignition timing of the pilot and main flame aredetermined by the programmer module. The FLAME-MONITOR can be used with ultraviolet,autocheck infrared, photocell, flame rod or self-check ultraviolet flame scanners by choosing theproper amplifier module.

The eighteen terminal wiring base allows for many functional circuits including motors, valves andignition transformersaswell as multipleinterlocks suchashi-purge, lowpurge, fuelvalveandrunningcircuits. The FLAME-MONITOR uses the same wiring base as the D Series and C SeriesControls and is designed to be directly interchangeable with most models without rewiring.
