DMG 973
Gas Burner Safety Control
For 2-stage forced draught and combi
oil/gas burners, facility to connect an air
damper unit
Possible flame detectors:
- Ionisation probe
- Infrared flicker detector 1020.1
- UV flame sensor UVD 971
INTRODUCTION
The burner control box DMG 973 controls and supervises
power burner for gas and dual fuel. The control box is
currently under approval according the relevant European
standards. The use on direct air heaters according DIN 4794
is also possible.
With the facility to connect an air damper unit, a 2 stage
operation with two fuel valves or a modulating operation
with one fuel valve is possible.
The microprocessor- based programming sequence ensures extremely stable timings independent of voltage variations, ambient temperature and/or switch-on cycles. The
built-in information system not only provides a continuous
monitoring of the actual state of the box (very helpful especially for monitoring the start-up phase) but also informs
about the cause of a possible lock out. The lock out cause
is stored in such a way that it can be retrieved even after a
power failure.
The control box is designed for maximum safety in case of
fluctuations in the voltage supply. If the mains voltage drops
below the permitted level, operation is interrupted and the
control box automatically prevents the start sequence from
being repeated. In this way, the safety of the system is not
put at risk by a drop in the mains voltage. This low-voltage
protection works not only during start-up but also permanently during operation.
CONSTRUCTIONAL FEATURES
Microprocessor, electronic components, output relais and
flame amplifier are placed on two printed circuit boards.
These plus the lockout- and reset circuit are well protected
inside a flame resistant, plug-in type plastic housing.
The reset switch for reset / remote lockout with its built-in
LED for displaying the information system plus the central
fixing screw are placed on top of the housing.
The wiring base S98 is equipped with spare- and
extraterminals and allows together with a variety of cable
entry points utmost flexibility of electrical wiring.
The DMG 973 is funstionally compatible to MMI 813 and
MMI 813.1
Please note: Is the DMG 973 to be used to
replace the MMI 813 or 813.1, care has to be
taken to make sure the air proving switch (LW) is
wired between terminals 4 and 7 and not like on
the MMI between 5 and 7.

APPLICATION FEATURES
1.2 Lock-out diagnoses
1. Information system
The information system is microprocessor based and reports on all aspects of burner control box operation and
flame supervision. It informs continuously about the actual
programming sequence the unit is just performing. Besides
monitoring of the programming sequence it also allows to
identify errors during start-up of operation without any
additional testing devices. The automatically performed
diagnosis is a valuable tool which facilitates service/
maintenance work and therefore saves costs. The analyses
of the error cause can be done directly on stage or if not
possible afterwards as the lock out reason is stored in a nonvolatile lock out mode memory.
The information system communicates with the outside
world using a LED (the used Flash-Code is similar to the
Morse-Code). The messages are optically transmitted by a
appropriately flashing LED. Using an additional terminal
(optional), the messages can be recorded and displayed in
easy readable form.
1.1 Programming sequence display
The built-in microprocessor controls not only the programming sequence but the information system too. The
individual phases of the programming sequence are
displayed as Flash-Code.
The following messages can be distinguished:
In case of a failure the LED is permanently illuminated. Every
10 seconds the illumination is interrupted by a flash code,
which indicates the cause of the error. Therefore the following
sequence is performed which is repeated as long as the unit
is not reset.

2. Flame detection
The following types of flame detectors are suitable:
– Ionisation probe, temperature resistant material, well
insulated (material and insulation same as for ignition
electrode).
– Infrared-flicker detector type IRD 1020.1 with mounting
flange M 93 or the UV solid state flame sensor UVD 971.
Flame detection using an ionisation probe is only possible
in conjunction with mains supplies which provides a neutral earth connection.
Connecting the IRD 1020.1 or UVD 971 the correct wiring
has to be observed.
2.1 Stray light monitoring
The stray light check is performed at the end of the prepurge time for thr duration as mentioned in the table of
timings.
