CHAPTER 1Intr oduction
Q series burners are completely assembled, wired, and tested at the factory.
Caution
!
Only factory authorized burner service personnel should start up, adjust, or service this equipment.
The operator must be familiar with the individual functioning of all controls to understand the operations and
procedures described in this manual.
1.1 — Description
Q-series full modulation units are forced-draft, direct-spark ignited, linkage-less burners controlled by an LMV37
programmer. They include safeguard functionality to insure the burner always returns to the ignition light-off
position for startup.
The Q-series modulating burners provide 550 to 2,500 MBTU/hr (~13 to 60 boiler horse power) against
furnace pressures of 0.75" w.c. or less (refer to burner specifications, page v). The Q6 has a 6" diameter firing
head and can fire up to 1,500 MBTU/hr (~36 boiler horse power). The Q8 has an 8" diameter firing head and
can fire up to 2,500 MBTU/hr (~60 boiler horse power). A field-installed air inlet orifice plate is required on Q6
burners firing below 1500 MBTU/hr and Q8 burners firing below 2500 MBTU/hr. See page viii for orifice plate
part numbers.
Q series burners are designed for automatic unattended operation except for periodic inspection and
maintenance. The control panel components require little attention except for occasional cleaning.

1.6 — Gas System
Gas is introduced into the combustion zone through multiple ports in the circular manifold. The full modulation
burner's LMV37 controls both the combustion air and fuel metering: it meters the fuel in proportion to fan speed
by adjusting the servo-driven gas metering butterfly valve.
Safety shutoff main gas valves are installed upstream of the gas-metering-butterfly valve and are controlled by
the LMV37 to open and close at the proper time in the operating sequence. The Safety shutoff valve models may
vary depending upon specific requirements.
1.6.1 — Main Gas Train Components
Depending upon the requirements of the regulating authority, the gas control system and gas train may consist of
some, or all, of the following items:
ComponentDescription
Gas Metering Butterfly ValveA servo-driven butterfly valve that controls the gas flow rate.
Gas Automatic Safety Shutoff Valves (SSOV(s))Electrically operated safety shutoff valve(s) that open to admit gas to the burner. Stan-
dard U.L. burners include one diaphragm gas valve and one solenoid gas valve.
Gas RegulatorRegulates gas train pressure to specified pressure required at the inlet of the gas train.
Input is set by the main gas pressure regulator adjustment.
Main Manual Gas Shutoff ValveA manual gas shutoff valve located at the gas train inlet (upstream of the regulator).
Main Manual Leak Test ValveA second manual gas shutoff valve located between the SSOV(s) and metering butterfly
valve. It provides a means of testing for leakage through the SSOV(s).

1.6.2 — Typical Gas Operation
Upon a call for heat and before flame ignition, the LMV37 flame safeguard starts the combustion air fan and
confirms the gas metering butterfly valve is in the low-fire position. When the combustion air switch proves
sufficient air, the control opens the gas safety shutoff valves. Provided the gas supply is connected and manual
cocks are open, gas then flows through the main gas train and gas metering butterfly valve into the burner gas
manifold. The gas streams out of the manifold through the multiple ports of the orifice plate (see Figure 1-5) and
mixes with the fan-fed combustion air.
1-6
750-437
Q Series Full Modulation
Introduction
The control then powers the ignition electrode and initiates flame. The UV scanner and control confirms flame
presence and the burner progresses to main-flame operation. Main flame continues while flame is proven; the
external limit switches confirm good operating conditions, and a call for heat exists.
During main flame, the LMV37 receives a modulation input signal from a separate modulating controller that
directs the LMV37 to provide more or less heat. When the call for heat is satisfied, the LMV37 moves the gas
metering valve to the low-fire position and deenergizes the safety shutoff valves thereby shutting down the
combustion process. A post-purge period follows, and the heat exchanger is purged with air. After post-purge, the
burner returns to standby mode.

CHAPTER 2Installation
2.1 — Burner Requirements
Proper installation requires the following:
• Sufficient air supply - allow enough clearance at the bottom of the burner to allow the burner's
fan to draw the high-fire air volume without difficulty.
Warning
!
• A gas-tight seal - for maximum safety, the burner/boiler mounting must be sealed to prevent the
escape of combustion products into the boiler room. When properly installed, the burner
mounting flange and flange gasket will provide this seal. Make sure the flange gasket is installed
uniformly flat between the burner flange and the boiler front plate. When the burner flange is
tightened to the boiler, the gasket should be consistently flat around the entire flange
circumference; an improperly installed gasket will not provide a seal.
• Proper burner support where needed - the front plates on many boilers, including some Scotch
Marine types, are not strong enough to support the burner's weight. The burner has provision
for vertical support as detailed in Section 2.7.
2.2 — Factory and Field Wiring Overview
Electrical motor power and control circuit power are 115 volt, single phase, 60 cycle. Refer to the electrical
schematic diagram shipped with the burner. The schematic is also attached to the inside of the control panel
cover. Installer power connections are made at the control panel. Wiring from the panel to burner mounted
components is completed at the factory. Field wiring from the burner panel to boiler controls, low water controls,
and remotely located fuel valves is completed by the installer.
Caution
!
It is important to provide support for the panel cover when in the open position to prevent damage to the burner
and enclosed components.

Installation
2.3 — Draft Conditions
Automatic over-fire draft control or barometric draft regulators are not usually required except where the system
has a tall chimney. The exact height of a chimney requiring draft control is indeterminate, but draft regulation is
seldom needed for chimneys less than 50 feet high, especially with Scotch Marine or sealed firebox boilers.
2.4 — Combustion Air Supply
The space in which a burner operates must be supplied with adequate fresh air for combustion and ventilation
purposes. Fresh air supply must meet or exceed all code requirements. Consult with insurance carrier and/or
local authorities for specific regulations.
Warning
!
The boiler room pressure must be at least equal to the outdoor atmospheric pressure. Where fan ventilation is used,
air must be forced into the boiler room. Never exhaust air from the boiler room. Adjoining areas having exhaust fans
must be positively isolated from the boiler room.
2.5 — Combustion Chamber Recommendations
The combustion chamber dimensions should be adequately sized to prevent flame impingements.
A dry oven refractory is required only to protect surfaces not adequately protected by free circulating water. Basic
objectives of refractory installation include:
• Provide adequate combustion space
• Avoid flame impingement
• Protect surfaces not adequately water cooled
• Seal openings
Insulation should be provided between the refractory and the boiler base. Mineral wool or other material not
likely to settle is preferred. Insulation should be used between the refractory and front plate. Firebrick or
insulating firebrick should be set in high temperature bonding mortar with provision for expansion. Refer to
Figure 2-3 for refractory construction guidelines.

Q Series Full Modulation
Installation
Prepare the boiler front plate and burner insertion as follows:
1. Determine burner mounting height. Locate and scribe a level
horizontal centerline across the mounting face.
2. Locate and scribe a vertical centerline. Be sure stud locations
line up where studs will have full support. If they don’t, or if
the opening is too large, a steel adapter plate, 3/8” minimum,
may be welded or bolted in place. Suitable anchors should be
provided to hold the refractory in place. The adapter plate
must be properly sealed (using insulating rope gasket) to prevent leakage of combustion gases.
3. Insulate burner insertion as shown in Figure 2-4
•Apply tack spray on the insert portion of the firing head that
will be wrapped.
•Wrap the insertion part of firing head with ceramic fiber
blanket (Kaowool). The wrap should be installed such that it
fills the 3/8” gap between the burner head outside diameter
(OD) and the refractory internal diameter (ID).
•Wrap the Kaowool with masking tape-this makes the
assembly easier to insert into the refractory. The wrapped
Kaowool must provide a snug fit between the refractory and
burner head. Rework if there are gaps.
•Trim off excess Kaowool.
•Apply ceramic-fiber rigidizer to the exposed Kaowool lip (see
figure 2-5). Protect/mask off the burner head so the rigidizer
only contacts the Kaowool lip; do not allow rigidizer to contact
any other part of the burner head.
FIGURE 2-4. Insulate Insertion
Note: the tack spray and masking tape hold material in place while the burner is installed into the
refractory. Following installation, heat exposure will burn away the tacking spray and masking tape.
4. Using insulating rope gasket, wrap the rope on the inside of
the bolt circle, looping the rope around the mounting
studs.Set the burner into position for mounting and tighten
into place. Standard burners are equipped with a four-hole
mounting flange.
5. Permanently support the burner using the pipe support con-
nections.

2.7 — Support Bracket Installation
Once the burner is installed, it must be supported by a suitable weight bearing surface. The burner is designed to
use the supplied support bracket kit number 880-06384-000. The bracket should be mounted to the burner
with the kit-supplied hardware.
A 3/4” NPS pipe, supplied by others, may then be cut to length and mounted so as to provide vertical support to
the burner.

FIGURE 2-6. Support Bracket Installation
2.8 — Gas Piping
Gas service and house piping must supply the burner-required gas volume and pressure to the burner gas train
inlet. All piping must be in strict accordance with applicable codes, ordinances, and regulations of the supplying
utility. In the absence of other codes, piping should be in accordance with the following standards: “National
Fuel Gas Code” NFPA No. 54, ANSI No. Z 223.1 (for Canada, the Canadian Gas Association (CGA) B149 and
Canadian Standards Association (CSA) B140 codes shall prevail).
Full modulation gas train components upstream of the butterfly valve that are shipped loose should be mounted
by the installer as close to the burner as practical. Normally, the gas train is ordered to suit a particular code or
insurance regulation, such as Underwriters Laboratories Inc., CGA, or Factory Mutual.
Arrange gas piping to the burner so that the burner is accessible for servicing without requiring train disassembly.
The gas piping must be internally clean and free of foreign material. Before using in service, a leak test must be
performed.

2.9 — Optional Ducted Combustion Air
An optional adapter port and slotted side panel allow combustion air to be ducted into the burner. The Q6
arrangement is a 4" OD inlet while the Q8 is a 6" OD inlet setup.
To equip the burner for ducted combustion air (item numbers refer to Figure 2-7):
• Change the side cover
1. Remove the cover lock-down thumb screw (Item 3).
2. Open the control cover (keep cover supported to prevent damage to it).
3. Remove the control panel side cover but retain the fasteners as they will be reused.
4. Install the slotted side cover (Item 2).
5. Replace the thumb screw (Item 3) to the position shown in Figure 2-7.
• Install the air inlet adapter
NOTE: If orifice plate required (Section 2.10) install between the blower and air inlet adapter.
1. Remove the (6) bolts from the fan-assembly inlet collar and air-pressure sensing line
2. Align the adapter (Item 1) and air-pressure sensing line bracket then replace and secure the 6 bolts. Use a
medium thread locker such as Loctite Blue to assure secure retention.

2.10 — Combustion Air Inlet Orifice Plate Installation
The Q burner size 6 and 8 use air-inlet-orifice plates to limit combustion air to the maximum firing rate needed
with respect to an application. The Q6 has a maximum rating of 1,500,000 BTU/HR. When used for the
maximum rate an air-inlet-orifice plate is not used. The same is true of the Q8 when used at its maximum rating
of 2,500,000 BTU/HR. For other firing rates, the chart below identifies the air-inlet orifice plate required:

2.11 — Installation Checklist
All burners are carefully assembled and tested at the factory, but before being placed in service, all connectors
should again be checked for looseness caused during shipment.
Check:
• Electrical terminals in the control panel and on all electrical components.
• Pipe fittings, unions and tube connections.
• Nuts, bolts, screws.
Before connecting electrical power to any component, be sure the supply voltage is the same as that specified on
component nameplates.
Before firing, make sure that the burner mounting flange is properly sealed to the boiler front plate.
It is the installer’s responsibility to identify the main electrical power disconnect and the manual shut-off valve on
the gas supply drop-line to the burner.
Make certain that the operator in charge is properly instructed in the operation and maintenance procedures.
Caution
!
Before opening the gas shutoff valves, read the regulator instructions carefully. Open the shutoff valve slowly to
allow inlet pressure to build up slowly in the regulator until it is fully pressurized. Opening the shutoff valve quickly
will damage the regulator.
Do not exceed the regulator pressure ratings.
