DESCRIPTION

Compact Automatic combination gas controls performall the
functions required to safely regulate gas flow to the pilot
burner and the main burner of domestic central heating
equipment,warm air furnaces, back boilers and water
heaters.

Compact Automatic combination gas controls comprise a
standard body to which a range of sub--assemblies are
factoryfitted to give various system options. This makes boiler
system design much easier as technical s pecifications and
unit dimensions are the same for all system options. Options
include servo pressure regulation,throttle valve, (switchable)
softlite, electricalhigh--low control and electricalor mechanical
modulationfor the complete range of control applications.

Compact Automatic combination gas controls are available in
line or low voltage versions and in three capacity ratings for
totalsystem versatility. Customer specific voltage models are
also offered

Compact Automatic combination gas control consist of a first
direct electric on/off operator for opening the safety valve of
class A or class B according to EN 161 and a second electric
on/offservo operatorvalve for opening the main valve of class
B, C or class D according to EN 161 and comply with the
additionalrequirementof D’ valves according to EN 297.

Compact Automatic combination gas controls are rated for
gas families MFD Group A (G 110), MFD Group B (G 120),
NaturalH (G 20), NaturalL (G 25) and LP (G 30).

All measurements are carried out under standard c onditions,
unless otherwise is indicated.

reliability.

:

ON/OFF control of main burner by electric on/off operator
and electricon/off servo operator.

:

At inlet side an internal fine mesh screen is incorporated in
the Compact Automatic. This screen is not intended to be
removable for cleaning. When flanges are used, removable
screens can be placed between the flanges and the
Compact Automatic.

:

Outletscreen (optional).

:

B+C,A+DandA+C.

:

All adjustments are located on the top of the Compact
Automatic.

:

9 mm outer diameter pressure tap at inlet and outlet side for
checking and adjusting burner pressure.

:

A wrench boss is incorporatedat the inlet side of the
Compact Automatic for pipe fitting.

:

Compact Automatic mounting orientation may be within 90
in any directionfrom the electric on/off operator upright
position.

:

Twothreaded mounting holes are at the bottom of the
Compact Automatic for rigid attachment to the appliance.

:

Main valve on/off servo operator with DIN faced electrical
connection has two threaded holes at the top for mounting
purposes (e.g. cover).

:

electrical connection which are also suitable for AMP
connections.

:

The coil of the electric on/off operatoris field replacable and
can also be positioned in other directions for better
accessability.

Gasconnectionoptions

:

Inlet and outlet connections are straight through and
threaded (standard model).

:

Inlet and outlet connections can receive flanges.

:

Side outlet options are available for both main and pilot gas.

:

The pilot gas connection for using break away connectors
for various O.D. tubing is located at the outlet end of the
Compact Automatic (standard model).

:

The pilot gas side outlet and special end outlet are suitable
for manifold connections.

:

High capacity model has straight through inlet and outlet
with Ø 23 mm bore.

Electricalconnection options

:

Both top face and bottom face AMP electrical connection
on electricon/off operator are available.

:

Single plugs are available with cable and strain reliefin
several versions (IP 40)

:

Seperate plugs on first and second electric on/off operator
are available (IP 40).

:

IP 44 connection by means of two DIN connectors is
possible.

:

Quick connect 6,3 mm fastons on both coils can be applied
in combination with single cover or separate covers with

E

strain relief.

:

Line voltage on/off servo operators are provided with a
ground screw and washer.

Functionaloptions

:

Servo pressure regulator provides stable outlet pressure.

:

Pressure feedback ensures constant burner
pressure(optional).

:

A throttle valve version is available,where unregulated
valves may be employed.

:

Softlite option to facilitate a smooth light up of burners.

:

Switchable softliteoption for changing over from one gas to
another and vice versa.

:

Electrical or mechanical modulation.

:

ElectricalHigh--Low control.

:

Incorporated pilot filter(optional).

:

Pilot outlet for IP system.

:

Suitable for use with Gas/Air ratio components.

Automaticis the maximum pressure at which it functions
safely. However, the maximum operating pressure is limited
by the pressure range of the pressure regulator concerned
(see table 1.).
