Electrical Supply
Check the nameplate on the burner to verify that the
power connections available are correct for the burner.
Refer to Figure 1. All power must be supplied through
fused disconnect switches and comply with the latest
edition of National Electric Code NFPA 70 (Canada CSA
C22.1) and all other local or applicable codes.
Verify Burner Components
Burner model can be checked from burner carton or
rating label on burner.
Flange mounting arrangement (Includes hightemperature gasket and/or fi ber rope for pressure fi ring).
Verify Firing Input Range
Refer to appliance manufacturer’s instructions (if
available) for the fi ring input range. Otherwise the
maximum recommended fi ring range for the burner
depends on the length and width of the fi ring chamber
and the distance from the burner center to the chamber
fl oor. Verify that the chamber dimensions are at least as
large as the minimum values given in Figure 2. If the
appliance dimensions are smaller, reduce the fi ring rate
accordingly.
Flames are shaped by their
furnaces and by its fl ue locations.
Increased height and width can decrease the length
requirement. When shaping is too severe fl ames
impinge on the walls. Impingement causes CO and
carbon deposits and may damage the wall. Maintaining
these minimum dimensions should prevent impingement,
but smaller furnaces may be acceptable depending
upon the results of applications testing. We recommend
factory testing of all new burner/furnace combinations by
the furnace manufacturer and/or R. W. Beckett Corp.
The volume of the furnace also
infl uences the combustion process.
R. W. Beckett Corp. recommends at least 1 cubic foot of
furnace volume for each 150,000 BTU/Hr of fi ring rate.
Verify Burner Air Tube Assembly
Dimensions shown are for cast
iron sectional boilers with uptakes
between sections. For minimum dimensions of other
furnace types consult R. W. Beckett Corporation.

Mount the burner to the appliance. The burner specifi ed
for packaged equipment will have a fl ange welded for the
required insertion. Follow the appliance manufacturer’s
instructions for mounting.
In the absence of instructions, or for retrofi ts, make sure
that the air tube insertion dimension, measured along
the side of the air tube from the welded fl ange to the end
of burner air tube, is correct.
Protect the Air Tube from
Overheating
Overheating could cause damage to the air tube and
other combustion components leading to equipment
malfunction and impaired combustion performance.
The end of the air tube must not extend into the
y
combustion chamber unprotected unless it has
been factory-tested and specifi ed by the appliance
manufacturer.
The end of the air tube should be set back ¼”
y
from fl ush with the refractory inside wall to prevent
damage from overheating.
Refer to the instructions outlined in this section for
y
methods of additional protection.
If this dimension cannot be achieved, protect the
○
end of the air tube by installing a suitable ceramic
refractory material such as a refractory mill board
capable of withstanding at least 2300 degrees F.
The entry hole diameter in the appliance should
be 1” larger than the air tube to facilitate ease of
installation and provide adequate protection.
Referring to Figure 6, if the front plate opening (C)
○
in the boiler is larger than the burner fl ange bolt
circle, then a custom mounting plate (A) of at least
1/4” thickness must be used with a suitable hightemperature refractory material anchored on the fi re-
side. A suitable high-temperature gasket (B) must be
used for an effective seal.
Attach the plate and gasket to the boiler and tighten
○
the mounting nuts or bolts securely.
Verify that the air tube is ¼” back from fl ush (see
○
Figure 2), and there is nothing blocking the fl ame
zone that could cause fl ame impingement.

Connect Gas Piping
Do Not Use Tefl on Tape on
Gas Piping
Damage to gas valve cutoff seals and valve bodies could
cause gas leaks and result in asphyxiation, explosion or
fi re.
Pieces of tape can be cut loose during installation
y
and lodge in gas valves causing cutoff seal
problems.
Te fl on tape ‘lubricates’ pipe threads, allowing iron
y
pipes to penetrate too deeply into aluminum valve
bodies causing distortion and leakage.
Use only pipe sealant compounds that are resistant
y
to the gas being used.
All gas piping installation must
comply with the latest edition of the
National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1 (NFPA 54) and
other applicable local codes.
The gas supply system must be sized to deliver at
least the minimum required pressure to the gas train
inlet. Contact your local gas utility for verifi cation of
gas pressures, allowable pressure drops, and any local
piping code requirements. Refer to Figure 7 for an
illustration of a gas piping layout and refer to Table 2 for
pipe sizing.

Page 11
Install a Drip Leg in Gas
Supply Piping
Foreign matter could lodge in gas valve
cutoff seals, resulting in gas leak-through,
explosion or fi re.
Install a full-size drip leg or dirt pocket in the piping
directly ahead of the main shutoff valve to capture
foreign matter.
Gas Trains
Gas Leaks and Explosion
Hazards
Provide Over-pressure Protection
CSD-1 requires that if gas pressure entering the building
exceeds the rating of any gas train component an
overpressure protection device must be installed.
Standard – An Underwriters Laboratories (UL) listed
gas train is standard for the CG10 gas burner. This
confi guration also meets CSD-1 requirements. See Figures 8A and 8B for typical component layout.
Propane (LP) – When the correct propane restrictor
is added to a burner’s gas pipe assembly it changes
the burner’s gas pressure drop so that the propane
pressure drop is equal to the natural gas pressure drop
of the same BTU fi ring rate. That is why the Manifold
Section: Connect Gas Piping
to Furnace Pressure Drop curves of Figures 14A, 14B,
and 14C are correct for both propane and natural gas.
That is also why a gas train adjusted for the burner’s
natural gas requirements will be correctly adjusted for
its propane requirements. R. W. Beckett provides the
same pressure regulating safety shutoff valve in the gas
train (usually a Honeywell V4944B) for both natural gas
and propane. The valve is marked for natural gas due
to its primary usage in a pressure range normally used
by natural gas appliances. It is safe and effective for
propane usage in this design application.
Optional – Gas trains for IRI and FM are available and
must be specifi ed when ordering a burner.
Verify – Verify that the train components are not
damaged and all piping and fi ttings are clean inside and
out. The gas train is normally shipped as components
and must be assembled and installed at the site.
Vent Lines – Install vent lines to any gas valve
component that requires atmospheric air pressure to
balance a diaphragm. Vent lines must be run to the
outdoors, with the termination point away from fresh
air intakes and windows. The terminal opening must
be fi tted with a wire mesh screen to block insects and
other contaminants from entering the vent and must
be mounted in such a position that water, ice, dirt, or
any other foreign matter cannot infi ltrate and block the
vent piping. Make sure the fi nal assembly is anchored
securely.

Sequence of Operation
RM7897C & RM7840L Flame Safeguard Controls
Initiate – The primary control enters the INITIATE
1.
sequence when the control is fi rst powered on or
power returns after an interruption. The initiate
sequence is a ten second delay during which the
control verifi es line voltage stability.
Standby – The control enters STANDBY until the
2.
limits, operating limit control, burner switch, and all
microcomputer-monitored circuits are in the correct
state.
Load Demand – Operating limit control contacts
3.
close on drop in temperature (or pressure) and
initiates the start sequence.
Prepurge – The control will signal the PREPURGE
4.
sequence when the airfl ow interlock and all
switches are in the correct state. The Prepurge
sequence is the amount of time the blower motor
runs prior to the ignition start sequence. Timing
for the Prepurge sequence is determined by a
card mounted inside the control module (typically
30 seconds). For the RM7897A control, Prepurge
is conducted with the air damper in the low fi re
position. For the RM7840 control the air damper
opens to the high fi re position for the timed
prepurge period and returns to the low fi re position
before releasing the control for ignition.
Trial for Ignition (TFI) – After the Prepurge
5.
sequence has timed out, the ignition and main gas
valves will be energized. Because the burner has
direct spark ignition for the main fl ame, the fl ame

y
the ‘Prepare the Burner for Start-up’ section have
been verifi ed.
Carefully follow the wiring diagrams, control
y
instruction sheets, fl ame safeguard sequence
of operation, test procedures and all appliance
manufacturer’s directions that pertain to this
installation.
If any of these items are not clear or are unavailable,
y
call Beckett at 1-800-645-2876 for assistance.
Burner Start Procedure
(Before proceeding, turn off and lock out electrical
power and close the main leak test cock to shut off
gas to the burner.)
1.
With the power and main gas supply to the burner
turned off, make sure gas has not accumulated in
the boiler or fl ues.
2.
Check the initial air settings for the input fi ring rate.
Check the manufacturer’s settings either on the
nameplate shown in Figure 1 or listed in Table 3.
If adjustment is necessary refer to Figures 10A & 10B and set the damper motor cam so that
the indicator points to the values shown on the
nameplate or listed in Table 3.
3.
With the main gas supply valve closed. Set the
limit or controller to call for heat then apply power
to start the burner. Reset the high and low gas
pressure switches if necessary.
4.
In order to check the function of each component
(i.e: fl ame safeguard sequence, airfl ow proving
switch, ignition transformer, gas valves, safety
lockout timing, etc.), with the gas supply closed off,
monitor a complete burner run sequence. Note that
the fl ame safeguard control will lock out since the
fuel supply has been closed off.
If component operation sequence and function is
5.
correct, reset the fl ame safeguard and initiate a
new cycle. Monitor the start-up cycle and manually
open the main leak test cock as soon as the fl ame
safeguard powers the safety shutoff valves. If the
boiler room is quiet you may be able to hear the valve
open, if not you can generally place your hand on the
valve and feel it open. After you have observed main
fl ame for a brief time, trip any of the switches in the
limit string to shut the burner down. Monitor the fl ame
and safety shutoff valves to assure that shutdown
is controlled by the valves and that they operate
properly. With this test passed you may safely initiate
automatic start-ups on subsequent cycles.
Initial Air Settings
If your burner was built for a specifi c OEM (Original
Equipment Manufacturer) application, the “Mfr’s
Settings” label (see Figure 1) will indicate the application
and the initial air settings made at Beckett. Please verify
those settings using the following procedure.
If your burner was not built for a specifi ed application,
the following steps outline the procedure for initially
setting the damper (these settings may be different from
settings specifi c to a particular OEM).
Refer to Figure 10A and 10B for this procedure.
Remove the cover screw (A) then the cover (B) and
1.
set aside.
18
Page 19
Section: Start the Burner
Push in on pin (G) to disengage the motor from the
2.
damper shaft and cam stack. Rotate the damper
shaft by hand to place the adjustment cams in a
position where their adjustment scale can be easily
seen. Release pin (G) to secure the damper shaft
and cam stack to the motor.
Using the wrench (C) supplied with the damper
3.
motor, adjust the blue low fi re cam (D) to the initial
setting listed in Table 3.
Using the same wrench, adjust the red high fi re
4.
cam (H) to the initial settings listed in Table 3.
To adjust the high fi re transition, use a small straight
5.
edge screwdriver. For high/low fi ring burners, turn
the white adjustment screw located in the orange
transition cam (J) until the cam indicator is half way
between the high and low settings on the scale. For
modulating burners the orange transition cam is not
used.
After setting all the cams, make sure the damper
6.
shaft and cam stack is set between its low fi re
setting and its high fi re setting. (If you don’t it may
not move when it is powered.) Push in pin (G),
move the damper by hand so that notch (E) is
between the low fi re setting and high fi re setting
on scale (F), then release pin (G) to re-engage the
motor. When the motor is powered it will go to its
low fi re setting.
This initial setting should be adequate for
7.
starting the burner at low fi re. Once the burner
is in operation, the air setting will be adjusted
for best performance as discussed later in this
manual. Don’t forget to re-install the cover after all
adjustments have been made.

The damper plate is attached
by screws to its shaft, and bears
against a fl at on the shaft for alignment. The shaft is
secured to the damper motor by a sleeve coupling with
two setscrews bearing against the damper shaft and two
more against the motor shaft. The motor shaft has a
fl at matching the one on the damper shaft. The fl ats on
the damper shaft and the motor shaft should be aligned
so that the position indicator in the damper motor reads
accurately. The best way to align the fl ats is to tighten
the setscrews that bear against the fl ats on the shafts fi rst, and then tighten the ones that bear against the
round surface of the shafts afterward.
The test for proper alignment is to disengage the damper
motor from its shaft using the disengaging pin (Item G in
Figure 10B) and rotate the damper plate to its full closed
position. The position indicator should point to 0° within
+/- 5° tolerance.

The optional modulation linkage assembly has been
designed as an economic means to adjust the damper
and the butterfl y valve to maintain air to gas ratios. When
the optional Modulation linkage assembly is supplied
with the burner, initial adjustments will be made at the
factory. To ensure optimum operation, minor additional
adjustments must be made after the burner is fi red on a
boiler.
The following adjustment will be pre-set at the factory,
but may require minor adjustment at start-up:
The damper motor high fi re and low fi re cams will be
○
preset.
The linkage between the damper and the butterfl y
○

Adjustment Procedure
Referring to the appliance
manufacturer’s literature, insure that
all preliminary adjustments and calibrations required for
the burner and appliance have been performed.
A) Prior to starting the burner
Verify that the damper motor high fi re and low fi re cam
1.
settings match the nameplate (Figure 1) or Table 3.
Examine the linkage for signs of damage.
2.
Referring to the illustrations in Figures 11 or 12,
3.
verify that the linkage is installed as shown.
Prior to adjusting the burner, have available all the
4.
necessary test equipment.
A manometer to check pressures downstream
○
of the gas pressure regulator; at the manifold
pressure test connection and in the furnace
A draft gauge to check breaching pressure
○
A fl ue gas analyzer that can measure O2 (or
○
CO2) and CO.
Adjust the gas pressure regulator to about ½” WC
5.
higher than the anticipated high fi re gas pressure
(see Table 3).
To prevent the burner from modulating to high fi re,
6.
set the modulation controller to the manual control
mode. If necessary, refer to the manual supplied
with the modulation controller.

is provided with the burner to allow programming at that
level.
22

Section: Start the Burner
B) At burner start-up - Note, as soon as the burner
lights, be prepared to adjust the butterfl y valve to set the
low fi re rate adjustment.
Monitor the fl ame through the observation port. If
1.
it appears to be too rich (yellow-orange fl ame),
move the butterfl y valve shaft slot setting toward a
more vertical position. (This adjustment is made
by turning the nut holding the spring-loaded swivel
on the butterfl y valve arm. If insuffi cient adjustment
is available by this method the butterfl y valve shaft
can be repositioned in the arm. Care must be taken
to make only small changes.)
Use a fl ue gas analyzer to check the fl ue gas
2.
ratings for O
and CO. Your target should be 4% O2
2
and CO should be well below 50 PPM. (Note that
the CO is usually near 0 at 4% O2.)
If the O2 and CO levels are not on target, turn the
3.
low fi re adjustment nut as required to meet the
target listed in Step 2.
Check the low fi re rate. Either clock the meter or
4.
compare the manifold pressure drop to factory
standards. Adjust the low fi re cam setting in the
damper motor (if necessary refer to the Initial Air Setting procedure described previously) and
the butterfl y valve shaft slot position as described
in Step 1. Refer to Step 2 in this procedure and
double check the O2 and CO readings.
When low fi re is set, use the modulation controller
5.
to manually step the burner up to its high fi re rate.
Check fl ue gas O2 and CO. Your target should be
6.
3% O2. CO should be well below 50 PPM, and is
usually near 0 for that O2. Adjust the regulated gas
pressure as required to meet the target.
Check the high fi re rate and adjust the high fi re cam
7.
setting and regulated gas pressure as required to
meet the target. (If necessary, refer to the Initial Air Setting procedure described previously.)
Using the modulation controller, manually step
8.
the burner back down to low fi re and verify the O2
and CO ratings. If the high fi re adjustments were
signifi cant they may have affected the low fi re
settings as well. Refer to Step 4 in this procedure
to make adjustments as necessary.
Using the modulation controller, manually step the
9.
burner through its range, stopping at several points
to check O2 and CO measurements.
After you are satisfi ed with the modulation linkage
10.
adjustments secure all linkage fasteners and
continue the start-up procedure.
It is acceptable for a burner with
linkage control of the fuel to show
2% variation in O
through the range as long as O2 stays
2
above the target points. If the O2 drops below the target
points it may lead to a CO problem. Moving the damper
arm position on the damper shaft changes mid-range
. Loosening the clamping screws and moving the
O
2
swivel end of the arm downward increases midrange O2,
upward decreases it. This change will affect the low fi re
O2 setting, and you’ll need to re-set it.
Verify Input Firing Rate
Clock the meter, correct for pressure and
1.
termperature to get SCFH and calculate the
input fi ring rate. Compare the calculated rate to
the specifi ed input for the boiler found on the
specifi cation sheets and on the rating plates for
the burner and boiler. Do not exceed the specifi ed
maximum input for the boiler.
Attach a manometer to the manifold test port, clock
2.
the meter, and adjust the regulated pressure until the
specifi ed input level is achieved. Refer to Table 3.
Be sure to set the breech or furnace pressure to the
3.
correct value, since this will have an effect on the
manifold pressure.
CG15, CG25, CG50 Burner Manual
23
Page 24
Section: Start the Burner
Estimating Rate
Manifold to Furnace Pressure information can be used to
estimate the burner’s fi ring rate when it is not possible to
clock a meter for the rate.
To estimate the burner’s fi ring rate:
○
Measure the furnace pressure over fi re
○
Measure the manifold pressure (at the manifold
pressure test connection).
○
Subtract the furnace pressure from the manifold
pressure
○
Compare the result to the data in Figures 14A, 14B,
or 14C as appropriate for your burner.
Clocking a Gas Meter
Before you clock the meter you must make sure that the
burner is operating at a steady rate, and that it is the
only thing that is using gas that would fl ow through the
meter.
Temperature Correction
Gas volume also changes with the temperature of the
gas. Most gas meters are temperature compensated.
They say so on the face of the index and don’t require
temperature correction. The temperature we correct to
is 60° F. That’s close to the temperature of the ground,
so usually it’s not necessary to correct for temperature
from underground lines.
Measure the gas temperature at the meter.
○
Add 460 to the gas temperature and divide 520 by
○
the result to obtain the correction factor.
Multiply the pressure corrected fl ow rate times the
○
temperature correction factor.
Example: The meter in the example is connected to
an above ground line on a hot day and shows 100°
F gas temperature. 460 + 100 = 560; 520 / 560 =
0.929; 465 x 0.929 = 432 CFH corrected for pressure
and temperature. This fi gure is often called SCFH (for
standard cubic feet per hour).
BTU’s and MBH
Uncorrected Flow Rate
○
Locate the dial that moves the fastest and determine
how many cubic feet are represented by one
revolution of its dial.
○
Use your watch for timing and observe how many
cubic feet are used in one minute.
○
Multiply by 60
Example: The dial is a one cubic foot dial, and goes
around 7 ½ times in one minute. That gives 7.5 cubic
feet per minute. Multiply by 60 to get 450 cubic feet per
hour (CFH) as your uncorrected fl ow rate.
Pressure Correction
Gas is compressible, the higher the pressure on it, the
smaller the number of cubic feet it occupies. To correct
for that you will need to know the gas pressure at the
meter.
If there’s a gauge at the meter, read it while the gas
○
is fl owing. (If not, measure the gas pressure in the
line downstream of the meter before any valves or
regulators, with no gas fl owing.)
Convert the gas pressure to PSI if you measure it in
○
any other units. (1 PSI = 27.7 inches water column)
Add 14.7 to the meter pressure, divide their sum by
○
14.7, and multiply that result times the uncorrected
fl ow rate to obtain the pressure corrected fl ow rate.Example: The meter in the example above is operating
at 14” WC.
14 / 27.7 = 0.5 PSI at the gauge; 14.7 + 0.5 =15.2; 15.2 /
14.7 = 1.034 correction factor;
1.034 x 450 = 465 CFH corrected for pressure
Natural Gas
The BTU content of natural gas varies from one location
to another, and even from day to day at a fi xed location.
For fi ring estimates it is usually assumed to be 1000
BTU’s per standard cubic foot.
To calculate BTU/Hr fi ring rates multiply SCFH times
1000.
Example: 432 SCFH x 1000 = 432,000 BTU/Hr.
MBH stands for thousands of BTU’s per hour. Since
1 cubic foot of natural gas contains 1000 BTU, 1 MBH
equals 1 SCFH of gas fl ow.Example: 432 SCFH = 1,080 MBH
LP (Liquifi ed Petroleum) Gas
The BTU content of LP gas varies with the relative
quantities of propane and butane in each delivery of gas
and changes as liquid level in the tank falls. For fi ring
estimates it is usually assumed to be 2,500 BTUs per
standard cubic foot.
To calculate BTU/Hr fi ring rates multiply SCFH times
2,500.
Example: 432 SCFH x 2500 = 1,080,000 BTU/Hr.
MBH stands for thousands of BTU’s per hour. Since 1
cubic foot of propane gas contains 2,500 BTU, 1 MBH
equals 0.4 SCFH of gas fl ow.Example: 432 SCFH = 1,080 MBH

Check Operation and Safety Controls
Testing by Qualifi ed
Technician Required.
Failure to properly test and verify the correct
function of operation and safety controls could lead
to equipment malfunction and result in asphyxiation,
explosion or fi re.
The testing of operation and safety controls requires
y
technical training and experience with commercial
gas burning systems.
Carefully follow the manufacturer’s instructions
y
supplied with the controls.
Verify the correct function of all operation and safety
y
controls used in the installation.
If instructions are not available, use the following
y
recommended procedures and record all results in a
start-up log.
Refer to Figure 7 for typical test points and
y
component locations.
High limit – To check the High Limit, raise the
1.
temperature or pressure of the operating control to
a higher level and lower the limit to a setting less
than the operating control. Run the burner until the
high limit opens and shuts the burner off. Adjust the
controls back to the desired settings.
CG50.5S
CG50.4S
CG50.3S
CG50.2S
CG50.1S
Operating control – Run the burner until the
2.
operating control shuts it off. If necessary, make
adjustments to ensure the control cycles the burner
in the desired temperature or pressure range.
Operating controls should be
set to minimize the number of
fi ring cycles that the burner runs. High cycling rates
increase the possibility of light-off lock outs.
Low water cutoff (LWCO) – With the burner fi ring,
3.
open the blow down valve on the low water cutoff,
if applicable. As the water level drops, the LWCO
switch contacts open and shut the burner off. When
the water level rises, the LWCO contacts close
and restart the burner. Monitor the LWCO switch
operation in relation to the water level in the sightglass for synchronization.
Airfl ow proving switch – With the burner fi ring at
4.
its lowest rate, loosen the tubing connection to the
airfl ow proving switch. A loss in air pressure at the
tubing should immediately cause the diaphragm
in the switch to open and recycle or lockout the
safeguard control.
Low gas pressure switch – With the burner fi ring
5.
and a manometer attached to a test port near
the low pressure switch, gradually close the main
leak test cock to shut off the gas supply. Note the
pressure at which the low gas pressure switch
opens and shuts the burner off. Manually reset the
switch. The low gas pressure switch should be set
at half of the normal supply pressure in the line.
26
Page 27
6.
High gas pressure switch – With the burner fi ring
and a manometer attached to the test port nearest
the high pressure switch, gradually increase the
gas pressure until the high pressure switch opens
and shuts the burner off. Note the pressure and
manually reset the switch. The high gas pressure
switch should be set at one and one half times the
high fi re manifold pressure (see nameplate data in Figure 1 or set switch as determined by testing).
7.
Leak-test valve – With the burner fi ring and
manometer attached to the leak-test valve port, turn
the burner electrical switch off and observe that
the gas pressure does not increase after several
minutes. This proves total closure of the main gas
valve.
8.
Flame safeguard safety lockout – Simulate a
fl ame failure by turning the main gas supply off. The
control should shut the burner off on safety within
the safety lockout time.
9.
Flame sensor circuit (fl ame rod) – With the
burner power switch turned off, refer to the wiring
diagram supplied with the control and locate the
sensor connection terminals. Place DC voltmeter
probes in the fl ame amplifi er test jacks. With the
burner fi ring, the fl ame signal should be steady and
at least 1.25 VDC.
10.
Flame sensor circuit (UV scanner) – With the
burner power switch turned off, refer to the wiring
diagram supplied with the control and locate the
sensor connection terminals. Place DC voltmeter
probes in the fl ame amplifi er test jacks. With the
burner fi ring, the fl ame signal should be steady and
at least 1.25 VDC.
Use Test Instruments to Set Combustion
Verify that all boiler sections, canopy, and access plates
or doors are fully equipped with gaskets and sealed
against any leakage, which could affect the combustion
test results. Before making these tests, operate the
burner for several minutes to allow the heating system
temperature to stabilize or nearly reach steady-state
levels. Record all results in the start-up log for future
reference.
Draft – Set the breech or furnace pressure to the
level specifi ed by the appliance manufacturer. Typical
example: +0.10” W. C.
Section: Start the Burner
Oxygen – For both low fi re and high fi re it is
recommended that you measure the oxygen (O2) early
in the test sequence because high levels of carbon
monoxide can be created at very low or even very high
O2 levels. The typical operating range is between 2.5%
– 4.5 %. The equivalent carbon dioxide (CO2) operating
range is 9% – 10.5%.
High excess air levels reduce the
fl ame’s UV output and the scanner
signal that proves the burner is fi ring.
Carbon monoxide (CO) – An operating range of 0 -50
PPM is recommended for the burner. The maximum
carbon monoxide (CO) level permitted in the fl ue gas by
the UL 795 Standard is 400 PPM (0.04%).
Stack Temperature – The stack temperature should be
within the range specifi ed by the appliance manufacturer.
It is infl uenced by input fi ring rate, fl ame shape, excess
air ratio, and cleanliness of boiler fl ue passages. This
temperature, combined with the ambient temperature,
and O2% (or CO2) is used in calculating the appliance
effi ciency.
Recommended Combustion Test Sequence
Adjust the draft or breech pressure to the appliance
1.
manufacturer’s recommended level.
Measure the carbon monoxide level and adjust
2.
air settings, if necessary, to regulate it to about 50
PPM for a starting point.
Measure the O2 or CO2 at the 50 PPM CO level.
3.
For this discussion, assume the O2 is 1.5% (11%
CO2).
Open the air adjustment until the O2 level is
4.
increased by at least 1% or to 3% O2 (whichever
is higher). This should reduce the CO level and
provide a margin of reserve air to accommodate
variable conditions.
Sample the CO level again. It should be in the 0 to
5.
20 PPM range.
Check the draft to ensure it still meets
6.
specifi cations. If a major change in draft is
required, repeat the above steps.
Perform any fi nal adjustments and lock the air
7.
settings securely. Run the burner through several
cycles to verify prompt ignition and stable burner
operation.
Always use calibrated test
instruments to set combustion
levels. Verify that test instruments are calibrated and
in good working condition. If not already provided, drill
test access holes in the fl ue pipe near the breech (or
upstream of the boiler breech damper, if applicable) and
in the front mounting plate area for fi rebox pressure. Be
careful not to damage any water-backed surface.

Burner Head Adjustment - There is an optimum gas orifi ce size and burner head setting for each fi ring rate of
the burner. The gas orifi ce size sets the gas fl ow velocity; the head setting establishes the airfl ow velocity.
When those velocities are properly matched the burner provides its best performance and stability.
The gas orifi ce size is built into the burner head. You can verify the correct selection by looking for the burner
model number stamped on the top centerline of the stainless steel tube that forms the base of the burner head.
It should match the model number on the Beckett burner data label on the blower housing.
The head setting is established by a notched sleeve on the gas tube that can be rotated to positions on a scale
marked by the burner’s model number. The scale should normally be set to the model number on the Beckett
burner data label. (If specifi c application requirements dictate an alternate head setting it will be noted by a
label on the gun assembly.)
For normal service requirements it is not necessary to disassemble the head from the gas tube. If you
disassemble the gas gun, make sure that when you re-assemble it:
The adjustment scale is set to the correct position as indicated by the burner model number or Gun Label.
1.
The alignment marks on the head, scale and stop are in alignment.
2.
The O-ring between the head and the adjustment scale is in place, is lubricated with grease, and is
