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.
750-437
Q Series Full Modulation

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

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.

3.1 — Preparations for Starting
The following items must be satisfied before any attempt is made to operate the burner:
• Electric, fuel, water, and vent stack connections are complete and all connections are confirmed tight.
• The operator is familiar with the boiler components and controls.
• The operator is familiar with the burner and understands: the burner components and controls (Chapter 1);
the LMV3 sequence of operation; and the burner wiring to the boiler controls per the burner wiring diagram.
In addition, the following checks must be made:
ItemCheck
Boiler
Burner
Boiler water level.
Be sure all boiler valves are installed correctly and positioned properly.
Set the high limit control slightly above the desired temperature.
Set the operating control to the desired temperature or pressure.
Set modulating controls at the desired temperature or pressure.
Check the electrical power supply to the burner in accordance with the nameplate voltage.
Check the fuel control actuator for proper movement of the fuel metering valve.
Refer to the Siemens LMV3 manual for additional information.
3.1.1 — Gas Supply
A representative of the gas utility should turn on the gas. Confirm sufficient pressure exists at the entrance to the
gas train (use test gauge upstream of the burner regulator). The gas pressure regulator must be adjusted to the
pressure required.
3.1.2 — Burner Settings
To ensure reliable and safe burner performance, the fan speed and gas settings must be checked and adjusted
prior to placing the burner into initial service, or after conducting any service work that may have altered the
settings. The modulating firing rate is controlled by a temperature or pressure sensor in conjunction with a
controller capable of generating a 4-20 mA output signal (minimum 500-ohm impedance) or a floating bumping
750-437
Q Series Full Modulation

Operation
circuit. For optimal efficiency, the controller used should be capable of PID load control. The purge rate, ignition
position, minimum firing rate, maximum firing rate and fuel-air ratio throughout the firing range is determined by
settings made in the Siemens LMV37 display. Refer to the Siemens LMV37 operation manual for further
information.
3.1.3 — Combustion Settings
Fuel and air flow rates are individually adjusted at low fire and at high fire to achieve rated heat input, firing rate
turndown, optimum efficiency, and safe operation. Refer to the nameplate inside the control panel for fuel input
ratings and corresponding manifold pressures.
3.1.4 — Test Equipment
Combustion tests and pressure readings should be conducted on-site and typically requires equipment such as:
• Combustion analyzer with O2, CO2, and stack temperature indication.
• U-Tube manometer, or pressure gauge, to measure gas pressure.
• Manometer to measure draft pressures.
• Voltmeter/Ammeter.
Warning
!
Read the LMV37 manual and fully understand its contents before attempting to operate this equipment. Failure to observe this warning may result in serious personal injury or death.
3.2 — Burner Sequence Overview
Basic overview of the control's normal sequence of operation is provided herein. Refer to the LMV37 manual for
additional sequence-of-operation detail and the burner-wiring diagram to a better understanding of how the
boiler and burner limit devices impact sequence of operation.
3.2.1 — Normal Automatic Sequence of Operation
In automatic operation, the burner cycle proceeds through standby, pre-purge, ignition, main flame operation
(released to modulate and load controller is driving the firing rate), post-purge and return to standby.
During main-flame operation, the burner firing rate is modulated by a load controller in response to the heat
exchanger's pressure or temperature until the operating control* contacts open and end the call for heat.
*operating control contacts may be either an individual operating control device or in a controller which incorporates load controller capability.
The LMV3 operation should be tested when:
• the burner is initially placed into service;
• a control is replaced; or
• the scheduled maintenance program so indicates.

Operation
3.2.2 — Standby
The burner is in standby and ready to respond to a call for heat when
• All power supply switches are closed and power is present at the control panel as indicated by the burner's
illuminated white “power” light.
• The high limit control contacts are made. If the high limit has tripped (contacts open), it must be manually
reset.
• The burner's On/Off control switch is in the “ON” position.
• The AZL displays {OFF}.
3.2.3 — Startup
While burner is standby/{OFF}, and when the operating pressure/temperature falls below the operating control
set point the operating control contacts make/close. If all other devices in the limit string are made and the burner
switch is ON, the control sees a “call for heat” and then sequences through startup as follows (commentary in
italics)
{Ph22} = Fan motor on - The burner energizes the fan
{Ph24} = Traveling to pre-purge position - Airspeed ramps up to high-fire air delivery rate
{Ph30} = Pre-purge countdown timer (30 sec) - Control confirms combustion air pressure is proven and then
pre-purges the heat exchanger to rid it of any possible accrued flammable vapors. The control displays {Ph30
XX.X} where “XX.X” is the countdown in seconds.
{Ph36} = Traveling to ignition position - Airspeed and gas valve opening are positioned for ignition at the LMV's
P0 position.
{Ph38} = Pre-ignition Time - (ignition transformer ON) - Direct spark transformer energizes the electrode
{Ph40} = 1st Safety Time - (safety shutoff valves ON) - Gas delivered to the combustion zone.
{Ph42} = 1st Safety Time (ignition transformer OFF) - Direct spark period terminates and flame presence
confirmed.
{Ph44} = Interval 1 - Flame stabilization
3.2.4 — Operation - Automatic Modulation
• The Control is in phase 60 and burner modulation is released to the load controller. The AZL presents {oP:
YY.Y} where “YY.Y” indicates the percent firing rate.
• The “YY.Y” firing rate is typically proportional to the difference between the load controller's set point and the
currently measured temperature or pressure value: large differences result in high firing rates with the firing rate
diminishing as the measured value approaches the setpoint value.
3.2.5 — Automatic Shutdown
• When the call for heat is satisfied, the operating control contacts open and the LMV3 control enters phase 62
where it commands the airspeed and fuel valve position to the P1 low-fire position.
3-4
Q Series Full Modulation
750-437
Operation
{Ph70} = The safety shutoff valves are de-energized/closed and the burner's "Fuel" lamp turns off.
{Ph72} = Traveling to post-purge position - Airspeed ramps up to high-fire air delivery rate
{Ph74} = Mandatory-post-purge time - High-fire air post-purges the heat-exchanger for the minimum-time
requirement. The display shows {Ph74 XX.X} where “XX.X” is the post-purge countdown timer in seconds.
{Ph78} = Optional-post-purge time - Additional post-purge time can be added via parameter adjustment.
{Ph10} = Home Run Position. Following post-purge, the burner motor stops. The gas actuator positions to home
which is the actuator's self-check of its optic position sensors.
• Burner returns to standby Phase 12, the AZL displays {OFF} and is ready for startup on the next call for heat.
Note: LOW WATER - If a low-water condition occurs, the burner shuts down as in “Automatic Shutdown” and the
AZL displays {OFF}. When the water level is restored and the low-water safety device resets. Provided all other
recycling limits are made and the burner switch is on, the burner will fire again when the operating control
contacts make (receives a new “call for heat”).
3.2.6 — Manual Shutdown
To manually shut off the burner:
• Turn the burner switch to OFF. The burner shuts down as in “Automatic Shutdown.”
• When the burner displays {OFF}, close the gas train's shutoff and main leak-test manual valves.
Automatic operation can not resume until the operator has determined it is safe to operate the system and
returns the gas valves to their open position and turns the burner switch to ON.
3.2.7 — Safety Shutdown
A safety-loop failure presents as an LMV3 error code 22 where the display alternates {Loc.c: 22} and {Loc.d:
X} (“x” being a diagnostic code value). A flame failure (loss of flame signal) presents as an LMV3 error code 93
where the display alternates {Loc.c: 93} and {Loc.d: X}. Either open safety-loop or loss-of-flame-signal
condition will cause the LMV3 to rapidly de-energize the safety-shutoff-fuel valves and the blower motor.
Shutdowns may result from motor overloading; low water; interruptions in either fuel or power supply; insufficient
combustion-air-pressure; tripped circuit breakers; blown fuses; or other interlock devices.
A safety shutdown will illuminate the burner's red “FAILURE” light and (if so equipped) energize an audible
alarm.
The failure's root cause must be determined and corrected before any attempt is made to restart the burner.
Gas pressure fault - If a high or low gas pressure condition occurs during burner operation, the burner shuts down
as in “Automatic Shutdown.” The AZL presents a fault indication and error code 20 condition by alternating
{Loc.c: 20} and {Loc.d: X} in the display. The pressure condition must be corrected and the respective gas
pressure switch is manually reset before attempting a burner restart.

“{Loc.d}” diagnostic information.
3.3 — Gas Pressure Regulator Setup
To determine the initial pressure setting of the gas pressure regulator
(for gas trains consisting of a regulator and two safety shut off valves) a
good rule of thumb is to adjust the regulator set point to twice the high
fire manifold pressure. If using a Siemens gas train, with the regulator
being the last component before the gas metering butterfly valve, set
the regulator set point to 1.5 times the high fire manifold pressure.
Fuel/air ratio curve setup may then proceed.
3.3.1 — Regulator Spring Selection
After determining the pressure setting as described above, use Table
3.3 to select the appropriate regulator spring.

Where possible, spring selection should be made so that the pressure setpoint falls within the upper 50% of the
spring range. For example, for a setpoint of 5.0”, the Plated spring (3-6” range) is preferable to the Pink spring
(3-8” range).
3.4 — Gas Train Leak Test
Note: In this section, AZL display text is shown in brackets, e.g. “{OFF}.”
A gas safety shutoff valve leak test (Bubble Test) must be performed prior to any initial commissioning or
subsequent maintenance of the burner and gas train system. This test should be performed periodically to ensure
no leakage of valves in their closed or de-energized position (refer to the valve manufacturer's procedures). The
unit should be taken out of service if the unit fails any part of the gas valve leak test. Any defective part must be
replaced prior to putting the equipment back into service.
Refer to Figure 3-2 when following this procedure:

3.4.1 — Leak Test Procedure
Fill the gas train for leak testing (burner will go through startup with the blower running, but the burner is not
intended to be fired at this time as the closed leak-test valve blocks gas to the burner).
1. CONFIRM BURNER IS READY FOR LEAK-TESTING THE GAS TRAIN:
•Set burner control switch to OFF position.
•The AZL displays {OFF}
•CLOSE the main leak test valve [7] entirely.
•Minimize the chance that gas pressure switches will interfere with the initial setup:
Set the low gas pressure switch [3] to the lowest setting.
Set the high gas pressure switch [6] to its highest setting and press its reset.
NOTE: gas pressure switches will be tested and set following the LMV37 commissioning and tuning.
•Set the operating control so burner will run when the burner switch is turned ON.
•Partially open the manual shutoff cock [1].
•Reset the low gas pressure switch if required
750-437
Q Series Full Modulation

2. TURN THE BURNER SWITCH ON.
If the burner blower does not start:
If the display continues to show {OFF} with the burner switch ON, then close the manual shutoff cock [1].
Troubleshoot the limit circuit and correct the situation so that the AZL “Heat request from controllers” LCD
bar beneath the icon turns solid with when the burner switch is turned ON. Repeat from Step 1.
FIGURE 3-3. Request for Heat
If the burner blower starts:
The burner will progress and display the following stages:
Operation
{Ph22} = Fan motor on
{Ph24} = Traveling to pre-purge position
{Ph30} = Pre-purge countdown timer (30 sec){Ph36} = Traveling to ignition position
{Ph38} = Pre ignition Time
Burner light off attempt at factory P0 setting
{Ph40} = 1st Safety Time (ignition transformer ON)
{Ph42} = 1st Safety Time (ignition transformer OFF)
{Ph44} = Interval 1
As the closed leak test valve [7] is blocking fuel delivery, the LMV37 will not detect flame during its trial for
main flame and will safety shutdown with the burner panel's red failure light illuminated. The LMV3 safety
shutdown should de-energize/close both safety shutoff valves [4] and [5]. If a safety-shutoff valve fails to
close, close the manual shutoff valve [1]. Do not proceed further until you correct the problem. If [4] and [5]
closed, pressurized gas should be trapped between [4] and [7] and you may proceed to the next step.
3. LEAK TEST THE DOWNSTREAM SAFETY SHUTOFF VALVE [5].
Release the gas trapped between and main gas safety shutoff valve [5] and manual cock [7] by opening the
leak test cock [8B]. After the trapped gas has been vented, continue to perform a bubble test for any leakage
through the safety shutoff valve [5]. Bubbles will appear if gas is leaking past [5]. If bubbles continue, close
the main shutoff valve [1], correct the valve [5] problem and retest 10 times before proceeding. If no leak,
close test cock [8B] and continue to the next step.
4. LEAK TEST THE UPSTREAM SAFETY SHUTOFF VALVE [4].
Release gas pressure at test cock [8A] and bubble test for any leaking through auxiliary safety shutoff valve
[4]. If you do not observe a leak, close test cock [8A] and go to the next step. If safety shutoff valve [4] leaks,
correct the problem and retest 10 times before proceeding.
Procede only when it is established there are no gas leaks.

3.5.1 — Carbon Monoxide
Warning
!
Carbon Monoxide is a colorless, odorless toxic gas resulting from incomplete combustion of gas. It can kill
quickly with no warning.
Know the signs: headaches, nausea, dizziness, breathlessness, collapse, loss of consciousness.
Carbon Monoxide Parts per Million (PPM) values should be kept to a minimum; it is reasonable to expect
attainable levels below 50 PPM. Certain heat exchanger characteristics such as furnace dimensions, vessel
construction, etc., can make low CO difficult to achieve; consequently, continued attention to levels is advised.
Most codes limit permissible CO amounts to below 400 PPM.
3.5.2 — Efficiency and Stack Temperature
A high net stack temperature indicates wasted heat. Net stack temperature is obtained by subtracting the
ambient air temperature from the flue gas temperature. Stack temperature should be as low as possible without
causing flue gas condensation.
750-437
Q Series Full Modulation
3-9
Operation
Stack heat loss can be reduced by (a) decreasing stack temperature through improved heat transfer or (b),
decreasing the flue gas volume by decreasing excess combustion air. A certain amount of excess air is necessary
to complete combustion. See Table 3- 4 for excess air guidance.
Stack temperatures vary by system type but in clean, well-tuned vessels you may expect the following:
Hot Water Vessels: Stack temperature is typically 75-100° F above the water temperature.
Steam Pressure Vessels: Consult saturated steam tables to determine approximate stack temperature. Stack
temperature is normally 75 to 100°F over the saturated steam temperature. As an example, a 10 psig lowpressure steam system at 80° F ambient air, can indicate a stack temperature of approximately 320°F. A 125
psig system under the same conditions increases the stack temperature to approximately 453°F.
3.6 — LMV3 Settings
This section guides you through adjustment of the fan speed and gas valve setting for the LMV3’s ignition point,
P0, and the low to high-fire points P1 through P9. A combustion analyzer is required. A pen and paper should
be on hand to keep a written record of the settings. Final setting values should be recorded in the startup service
report found at the back of this manual.
Warning
!
The Q burner LMV3 has ignition point P0 and fuel-curve points P1 through P9 entered in the control. These points,
however, must be adjusted to the specific application the burner is being installed on. If reasonable care is not taken
to tune combustion points to the application, hazardous combustion conditions may result.
Note:
Read Section 3.6 in its entirety before making any adjustments.
The burner status is presented via the AZL and burner panel indication lights. Figure 3-4 shows how certain AZL indications are also indicated by the burner panel lights:

Warning
!
Although the burner was fire tested at the factory, be certain to check fuel valve actuator coupling for tightness before
making any adjustments to fuel or air. Be certain the valve is fully closed when the control indicates “0” degrees open.
Caution
!
• The installer is responsible to ensure that safe fuel-to-air ratios are being maintained.
• If an AZL (+) or (-) button is held continuously when adjusting an actuator position value, the value will change at a
progressively faster rate.
• When increasing a setting, increase air and follow with fuel.
• When decreasing a setting, lower fuel first and then air.
Warning
!
Rapid temperature changes to the heat exchanger can cause major damage due to thermal shock.
It is imperative when starting a cold vessel for the first time the vessel be warmed slowly, either by allowing the burner
to cycle for intermittent periods or leaving at low fire. This should be done until the vessel is up to normal operating conditions.

CHAPTER 4Adjustments
4.1 — Overview
While each burner is tested at the factory for correct operation before shipment, variable conditions such as
burning characteristics of the fuel used and operating load conditions may require further adjustment after
installation to assure maximum operating efficiency.
Prior to placing the burner and heat exchanger into initial service, a complete inspection should be made of all
controls, connecting piping, wiring and all fastenings such as nuts, bolts and setscrews to be sure that no
damage or misadjustments occurred during shipping and installation.
A combustion efficiency analysis made during the initial start-up will help to determine what additional
adjustments are required in a particular installation.
4.2 — Gas System
4.2.1 — Honeywell V48A Gas Valve Adjustment
NOTE: If The gas train components ship loose, the bleed valve will need to be installed and adjusted in the field.
1. The bleed valve screw should be open one (1) turn counterclockwise from the fully closed position as a start-
ing point.
2. Adjust the bleed valve in 1/4 turn counterclockwise increments until the V48A gas valve opens at the desired
opening speed for a smooth main flame ignition.
3. The burner should be cycled between adjustments.
4.2.2 — Gas Pressure
Gas must be supplied at a pressure high enough to overcome the pressure loss in the burner gas train and
furnace pressure while running at full input. Refer to nameplate inside control panel for gas pressure
requirements at train inlet and manifold. The pressures listed are based on nominal 1000 Btu/cu ft. natural gas
at elevations up to 2000 feet above sea level.
750-437
Q Series Full Modulation

Adjustments
4.2.3 — Gas Flow
The volume of gas is measured in cubic feet as determined by a meter reading. The gas flow rate required
depends on the heating value (Btu/cu ft.). The supplying utility can provide this information as well as pressure
correction factors. To determine the required number of cubic feet per hour of gas, divide burner input (Btu/hr) by
the heating value (Btu/cu ft).
Example:
Burner gas input = 1,000,000 Btu/hr
Natural gas heating value = 1,000 Btu/cu ft
1,000,000 Btu/hr
1,000 Btu/cu ft

CHAPTER 5Maintenance
5.1 — Overview
Warning
!
Any cover plates, enclosures, or guards anchored to the burner, or any burner related equipment, must remain in
position at all times. Only during maintenance and service shutdown can these cover plates, enclosures, or guards be
removed. They must be replaced, and securely anchored before testing, adjusting, or running the burner or burner
related equipment.
Caution
!
It is important to provide support for the panel cover when in the open position to prevent damage to the hinges and
other components.
Warning
!
When doing refractory service or repair work, observe the following precautions:
•Ensure the area is well ventilated.
•Wear a respirator approved by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH).
•Wear gloves, eye protection, and long-sleeved, loose-fitting clothing.
Dispose of refractory waste material in an airtight plastic bag.
Vacuum clothing before leaving the work site. Wash work clothes separately from other laundry.
Wash all exposed body areas with soap and water.
A maintenance program avoids unnecessary down time, costly repairs, and promotes safety. It is recommended
that a record be maintained of daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly maintenance activities.
750-437
Q Series Full Modulation
5-1
Maintenance
Electrical and mechanical devices require systematic and periodic inspection and maintenance. Any “automatic”
features do not relieve the operator from responsibility, but rather allow freedom from certain repetitive chores,
providing time for upkeep and maintenance.
Unusual noise, improper gauge reading, leak, sign of overheating, etc., can indicate a developing malfunction,
requiring corrective action.
5.2 — Control System
Most operating controls require very little maintenance beyond regular inspection. Examine electrical
connections. Keep the controls clean. Remove any dust from the interior of the control. Covers should be left on
controls at all times. Keep the control cabinet doors closed. Dust and dirt can damage motor starters and relay
contacts. Starter contacts are plated with silver and are not harmed by discoloration. Never use files or abrasive
materials such as sandpaper on contact points.
5.2.1 — LMV3 Control
This control requires no adjustment, nor should any attempt be made to alter contact settings or timing logic.
The flame detector lens should be cleaned as often as conditions demand. A periodic safety check procedure
should be established to test the complete safeguard system. Tests should verify safety shutdown with a safety
lock out upon failure to ignite the pilot or the main flame, and upon loss of flame. Each of these conditions
should be checked on a scheduled basis. The safety check procedures are contained in the manufacturer's
bulletin.
5.3 — Impeller
The impeller is enclosed in a die cast aluminum housing and requires no adjustment.
5.4 — Firing Head Inspection
Release the side cover and pull the firing head out of the burner housing. Inspect the flame scanner lens to be
sure it is clean. Inspect the lead wire to the ignition electrode. It must be firmly attached and the insulation
should be clean and free of cracks.

Maintenance
5.7 — Firing Rate Controls
Make sure all connections are tight. Adjust if necessary. Perform a combustion test as explained in Chapter 4,
and readjust the burner if necessary.
5.8 — Burner Mounting Inspection
The seal between the burner flange and furnace front plate must not permit combustion gases to escape.
Periodic inspection is important. Replace the gasket if necessary. Inspect the burner head for signs of
discoloration. A change in the head color paint might indicate gas leakage between the burner flange and the
boiler refractory. If leakage occurs, refer to Chapter 2 for proper sealing procedure.
5.9 — Gas System
Caution
!
Disconnect all power before servicing the valves.
5.9.1 — Motorized Main Gas Valves
Should the motorized valve fail to operate, check for voltage at the valve. Make certain that the fuel supply is off
by closing the manual shutoff cock at the gas train inlet prior to testing. The motorized valve is not field
repairable nor should it be disassembled. Replace the motorized valve if it fails to operate. After replacement and
with the fuel supply off, cycle the motorized valve and confirm that it opens and closes. If the valve has a visual
indicator, observe its position for correct operation.
5.9.2 — Solenoid Valves
A slight hum from the solenoid is normal when the coil is energized. Should the valve fail to operate, check that
there is voltage at the valve coil. If there is no voltage at coil, check for loose wiring connections. If there is
proper voltage at the valve coil and the valve still fails to open, replace the coil. Refer to manufacturer's bulletin
for correct procedure in coil replacement.
Should it become necessary to replace the complete valve, be sure that the flow is in the direction of the arrow
on the body.
Test for gas leaks and check valve action several times to ensure proper operation before attempting to relight the
burner.
5.10 — Electrical System

Maintenance
5.10.1 — Blower Motor Amp Draw Check
Motor supply voltage must not vary more than 10 percent from nameplate ratings. At initial startup and at least
once a year thereafter, check the motor current with an ammeter while the burner is in high fire position. If the
reading exceeds the nameplate rating, determine the cause and correct it immediately. In dusty locations, clean
the motor regularly to assure adequate cooling.
5.10.2 — Fuse Replacement
5.11 — Extended Shutdown
When shutting down the burner for an extended period of time, the operator should use the following general
guidelines to protect the burner from its surrounding elements. This will add to the operating life of the burner.
1. Turn the main electrical disconnect switch to the burner to “OFF.”
2. Close all main manual fuel valves.
3. If the burner operates in a damp environment, enclose it with plastic to protect all electrical components from
moisture.
To prevent the accumulation of condensation, the control may be left powered if desired during long off periods.

death.
Warning
!
Disconnect and lockout the main power supply in order to avoid the hazard of electrical shock. Failure to follow these
instructions could result in serious personal injury or death.
6.1 — Awareness
Chapter 6 assumes that:
• The unit in question has been properly installed and that it has been running for some time.
• The operator has become thoroughly familiar with both the burner and the manual by this time.
If the burner will not start or operate properly, the Troubleshooting section should be referred to for assistance in
pinpointing problems that may not be readily apparent.
The table below lists some possible causes, suggestions or clues to simplify locating the source of the trouble.
Methods of correcting the trouble, once it has been identified, may be found elsewhere in this manual.
The control system has self-diagnostic capabilities and will display a code indicating the failure condition. Refer
to the LMV3 troubleshooting section included here for details.
A thorough knowledge of the system and its controls will facilitate the troubleshooting process. Costly downtime
or delays can be prevented by systematic checks of actual operation against the normal sequence to determine
the stage at which performance deviates from normal. Following a set routine may help to detect obvious
conditions, often ones that are relatively simple to correct.
750-437
Q Series Full Modulation
6-1
Troubleshooting
If an obvious condition is not apparent, check the continuity of each circuit with a voltmeter or test lamp. Each
circuit can be checked and the fault isolated and corrected. In most cases, circuit-checking can be accomplished
between appropriate terminal on the terminal boards in the control cabinet or entrance box. Refer to the wiring
schematic supplied for terminal identification.
Never attempt to circumvent any of the safety features.
Warning
!
The cause for loss of flame or any other unusual condition should be investigated and corrected before attempting to
restart. Failure to do so may result in serious personal injury or death.
Warning
!
Do not repeat unsuccessful lighting attempts without rechecking the burner adjustments. Damage to the boiler or
serious personal injury or death may result.
Warning
!
Do not attempt to start the main burner if the combustion chamber is hot and/or if gas is present in the furnace or
flue passages. Promptly correct any conditions causing leakage. Failure to follow these instructions could result in
serious personal injury or death.
6.2 — Emergency Shutdown
In case of emergency, shut down the burner by turning the ON-OFF switch to the “OFF” position. Shut off the gas
train’s main manual shut off valves. The unit can also be shut down with the main electrical power disconnect.

6.4 — LMV3 Diagnostics
he LMV3 has an extensive list of fault codes to help clarify the nature of any fault. This section describes every
fault code in detail and gives guidance on how to correct it.
When a lockout occurs, the AZL will alternate between displaying “Loc:c” and “Loc:d”. The number listed after
“Loc:c” is the error code, and the number listed after “Loc:d” is the diagnostic code. For example, an error code
3, diagnostic code 0 will alternate between displaying “Loc:c: 3” and “Loc:d: 0”.
If a fault occurs that does not cause a lockout, the AZL will alternate between displaying “InF:c” and “InF:d”. The
number listed after “InF:c” is the error code, and the number listed after “InF:d” is the diagnostic code. These
faults are intended to provide the user information even though a lockout did not occur.
The fault history is stored in the 700 set of parameters. The LMV3 stores the last 25 fault codes:
Parameter 701 displays information about the current status of the LMV3.
Parameter 702 displays information about the most recent fault.
Parameter 703 displays information about the second most recent fault.
…
Parameter 725 displays information about the 24th most recent fault.

Action
A safety loop / burner flange fault occurred. Check all of the switches wired into the safety
loop (between terminals X3-04.1 and X3-04.2). This also includes the burner flange circuit
(between terminals X3-03.1 and X3-
03.2). One of the switches must have opened, causing the fault. Fix the condition that
caused the switch to open and reset the fault.
Diagnostic code 1 - A call for heat was received, but the LMV3 will not start up due to a
safety loop / burner flange fault.
Diagnostic codes 3 and larger - A call for heat was received, but the LMV3 will not start up
due to a safety loop / burner flange fault. Other inputs besides the safety loop and burner
flange inputs are in the wrong state as well. The diagnostic code calls out what other inputs
are in the wrong state.
A low gas pressure or heavy oil direct start fault occurred. See diagnostic codes for more
information.
The low gas pressure switch (input X5-01.2) opened, causing a fault. Check gas supply
and open any manual shutoff valves. Check the setpoint and wiring of the low gas pressure
switch. Check the setting of parameter 285/385.
The low gas pressure switch was not made by the end of phase 38,
of the LMV3. See diagnostic code 0 for more corrective actions.
When firing heavy oil, the heavy oil direct start input (X9-04.2) was de-energized, causing
the fault. Check the setting of parameter 286, and verify the wiring of the heavy oil direct
start is correct.

Standardization timed out because the VSD took too long to ramp down at the end of the
standardization. Either decrease the ramp down time in the VSD or increase the setting of
parameter 523.
Press the info button with any other button to cause a manual lockout, then reset the fault
and attempt to standardize again.
No pulses from the speed sensor were detected during standardization.
1) Verify that the motor is rotating.
2) Check the wiring between the speed sensor and the LMV3.

1) Check to see if the motor's direction of rotation is correct. Reverse if necesssary.
2) Check to see if the arrow on the speed wheel points in the correct direction of
rotation. Reverse if necessary.
1) Check the setting of parameter 643 and ensure it is set correctly. For VSD + 3-phase
motor, this should be a 0. For most brushless DC blowers, this should be a 1.
2) Check and / or adjust the gap between the speed wheel and the sensor. The gap should

1) Standby (phase 12): Ensure parameter 226/266/326/366 is set to a
parameter 665 (time outside near zone).
2) Standby (phase 12): Ensure parameter 669:01 (maximum speed) is set to a higher

All SQM33… actuators must travel outside of their 0-90° operating range before starting up
the burner in order to "reference" their position. This fault means that the referencing was
unsuccessful.
1) Check the setting of parameter 601 (fuel 0) and 608 (fuel 1). Index 00 sets the fuel
actuator reference direction and index 01 sets the air actuator reference direction.
2) Check to make sure the actuators are not binding when trying to reference (ensure that
overstroking below 0° or above 90° is possible).
3) Check the setting of parameter 613 (fuel 0) and 614 (fuel 1) to ensure the actuator type
is set correctly.
4) Make sure that the actuator's are plugged into the correct terminal on the LMV3.
Verify that the valve connected to the fuel actuator is not bound. Ensure that the torque
requirements of the valve are less than the output of the fuel actuator. If everything checks
out okay, replace the SQM33 actuator.
Check the wiring between the fuel actuator and LMV3 terminal X54. Fix the wiring error
and reset the fault. If no fuel actuator exists, choose a fuel train option (parameter 201/

The fuel actuator is bound.
1) Check the setting of parameter 613:00 (fuel 0) and 614 (fuel 1) to ensure the actuator
type is set correctly.
2) Check to see if the actuator gets bound somewhere along its working range. This can be
done changing the home position of the actuator in standby (no alarm).
3) Ensure that the torque of the actuator is sufficient for the application.
Verify that the valve / damper connected to the air actuator is not bound. Ensure that the
torque requirements of the valve / damper are less than the output of the air actuator. If
everything checks out okay, replace the SQM33 actuator.

Check for voltage feeding back on the output given by the diagnostic code. Fix the wiring
error / defective component causing the voltage feedback and reset the fault.
Remove the wire from fan output terminal X3-05.1 and perform the following two tests:
1. With power connected to the LMV3 and the LMV3 in standby, ensure there is no voltage
on fan output X3-05.1.
2. With no power connected to the LMV3, ensure there is no continuity between fan output
X3-05.1 and neutral.
If either test fails, replace the LMV3. If both tests are passed, reset the fault.
If the fault occurs continuously, replace the LMV3.
On software version V03.10, if this error occurs during standardization of the VSD,
temporarily deactivate the alarm in the case of start prevention (set parameter 210 = 0),
reset the fault, and re-standardize. Otherwise, if the fault occurs continuously, replace the

2. The diagnostic code determines which terminal on the LMV3 has an issue. Check for
inductive loads that cause voltage to be present on the terminal after the LMV3 deenergizes the terminal. If voltage exists on an output terminal, such as a fuel valve, after the
LMV3 de-energizes the terminal, it will cause a fault. Voltage must drop to zero on the

Restore is complete.
Note: Before restoring the backup data on the basic unit, the latter compares the burner identification
(parameter 113) and LMV product no. with the burner identification and product no. of the backup data set. If
the data is consistent with the equipment, they are restored. If not, the restore process is aborted. If the process
stops or an error occurs during the restoration, the display shows a negative value. For error diagnostics, the
cause of the error can be determined from the diagnostic code of error message 137 (see Error code list). When
the restore process is successfully completed, value 0 appears on the display.
A message Err C:136 D: 1 (restore started) is displayed momentarily to acknowledge a ‘restore’ has been
initiated.

• On completion of the restore process, the sequence of functions and the
parameter settings must be checked.
