6.1 Error Messages and Shutdown Conditions
For operational, technical or installation assistance, please contact us.
The Combustex BMS-2000 Burner Management System has been designed to be compatible with a wide
variety of industrial and oileld burner vessels. A common vessel will have a main burner ring into a re
tube which, in turn, heats a uid (often glycol). This uid is referred to as the “Bath”. Another uid (oil or
gas) is routed through the bath to be heated. This is referred to as the “Process”.
The BMS will control up to two pilots and two main burners, handle temperature control of the bath, and
provide ame status outputs and a variety of ESD (emergency shutdown) inputs.
The BMS-2000 is typically installed together with a Pilot Pro™ Series Ignition Assembly. These igniters
are designed and built around the features of the BMS, allowing the BMS to light and maintain a pilot
ame using the sensor that is incorporated into the pilot ignition module, providing ame verication.
The Combustex BMS-2000 is suitable for both new installations and retrotting older vessels, and is not
limited to Pilot Pro™ igniters.

of 42
For operational, technical or installation assistance, please contact us.
When initiating a start sequence, the BMS will open the pilot and energize the igniter for the trial for
ignition period and wait for the ame sensor to conrm a ame. Upon ame verication, the unit will
then go into “Normal Operation”. At this point, the BMS will energize the main burner and the ame
status output(s). The temperature control option will also become enabled (if congured).
Set points and the associated password protected timers are congurable in the BMS menu. Other
congurable options:
• Purge and Pre-purge
• Auto Relight on Flame Fail
• Auto Relight on Power Fail (unit will relight when power is restored)

Notes:
• Thermocouple inputs require a millivoltage signal. Refer to the Thermocouple Reference Chart for
millivoltage values for type K thermocouples.
• When forcing (sending) T/C signals, compensate for reference junction temperature by subtracting
the mV value that would represent reference junction temperature from your forced mV values.
• 4-20mA inputs require a current signal input for calibration.
• The voltage input is calibrated by varying the voltage supplied to the BMS.
• 4-20mA outputs do not require a known input or output. Simply assign the ‘Zero’ and ‘Span’ values
in the calibration menu.

The BMS-2000 is CSA certied for Class 1, Division 2 Groups A, B, C and D hazardous locations. It is also
rated NEMA Type 4x and can be readily installed outdoors. The BMS is ideally located away from the
ame arrestor in an area not subject to extreme heat and vibration. The distance between the BMS unit
and pilot / ignitor assembly can be up to 50 feet at specied interconnecting wiring guages (see below).
Greater distances can be achieved if the wiring gauge is increased and line resistance does not exceed
0.5Ω. When installed on the outside wall of a building, care must be taken to protect the controller from
heavy runo or falling snow and ice. Particular attention must be paid to Class 1, Div. 1 building vents
which limit the location of Div. 2 rated equipment to within 1.5 meters of such openings.
Conduit Entry
The preferred location for conduit entry is the bottom of the BMS-2000 enclosure. Top entry is also
available, but care must be taken to ensure a weather tight seal through the use of a Myers Hub or other
approved CEC wiring methods.

Wiring Methods
1. Use rigid steel or aluminum conduit.
2. Interconnecting wiring:
• Power to the BMS and interconnecting power to the igniter should be (minimum) gauge 14 Belden
or equivalent with shields tied to the BMS end only. Note: If the distance between the BMS and pilot
/ ingitor assembly is greater than 50 feet, increase the wire gauge to achieve line resistance no greater
than 0.5Ω.
• All other digital and analog inputs should be (minimum) gauge 16 or equivalent.
3. Interconnecting wiring between thermocouples and the BMS must be type K extension grade
thermocouple wire with a shield. Tie shields to the BMS end only.
4. Ground the negative of the power input to the chassis ground.
Solenoids
The pilot and main solenoids must be rated for the same voltage as supplied to the BMS, and approved
for the area classication where they are being installed. Solenoid valves must be congured in
accordance with the instrumentation P&ID drawings contained in this manual (see pp. 31 - 35). All tubing
should be a minimum of 3/8” and properly supported using raceway or tubing clips.
Power Supply Requirements
The BMS-2000 requires a 10 - 30 volt DC supply free of spikes and interference. The power source
should be rated for at least 3 Amperes for a typical system. This requirement will be higher if additional
solenoids or other loads are driven from the BMS outputs.

Note: These outputs are powered directly from the BMS controller. Any
attempt to power externally will damage the controller. All outputs will
be at the same potential as the supplied power to the BMS.
5.6 MODBUS CONNECTIONS
Five Modbus terminals are located on the front circuit board of the Combustex BMS controller: two
terminals for Modbus RS232, two terminals for Modbus RS485, and one for ground. Ensure power to the
BMS controller is o before terminating wires. A Modbus Map is available by contacting Combustex
directly.
For operational, technical or installation assistance, please contact us.
System function errors resulting from equipment failure or faulty wiring (including BMS hardware) are
indicated in one of two ways:
• An error message is displayed on the BMS 2000 LCD screen (e.g. Flame #1 T/C Failed indicating a
faulty thermocouple on pilot #1).
• A shutdown cannot be cleared from the annunciation screen despite having it’s condition satised
(e.g. Bath High Temp. cannot be cleared when actual bath temperature falls below the preset
HTSD value).
Note: All shutdowns are factory set to YES by default. If a specic shutdown is not required, it must
be manually set to NO in the Conguration Menu (see Section 3 pp. 15 - 24). If a specic shutdown is
congured to YES but no eld device device is terminated to its slot at the BMS controller, a shutdown
message will be displayed and the controller will NOT be permitted to START.

DI Test 01 is a generic procedure to test the function of all discrete inputs on the BMS controller, and
should be used if the recommended corrective actions described below fail to remedy the problem.
To perform the test, disconnect both wires from the DI terminal (refer to the BMS 2000 wiring diagram
p. 31). If the specic shutdown is enabled in the conguration menu, the DI will be activated. Use a
wire to jumper the +/- terminal of the DI. Note: Power down the controller when removing wires and installing jumper wire. With acknowledgement, the S/D should automatically clear from the shutdown
list on display Page 1. The test result is classied as positive if the DI functions as above. If the DI fails to
perform as above, the test result is classied as negative and may indicate a hardware malfunction on
the BMS controller. Contact Combustex for assistance, service or warranty.
