When Installing this Product...
1. Read these instructions carefully. Failure to follow them
could damage the product or cause a hazardous
condition.
2. Check the ratings given in the instructions and on the
product to make sure the product is suitable for your
application.
3. Installer must be a trained, experienced, flame
safeguard control technician.
4. After installation is complete, check out product
operation as provided in these instructions.
CAUTION
1.Disconnect power supply before beginning
installation to prevent electrical shock and
equipment damage.
2.All wiring must be NEC Class 1 (line voltage).
3.Loads connected to the control terminals must
not exceed those listed on the R4140 label or in
the Specifications section of the Specifications for
the R4140G,L or M.
4.Limits and interlocks must be rated to carry and
break current to the ignition transformer, pilot
valve, and main fuel valve(s) simultaneously.
5.All external timers must be listed or component
recognized by authorities having jurisdiction for
the specific purpose for which they are used.
Weather
The R4140 is not designed to be weather tight. If it is installed
outdoors, it must be protected.
Mounting the Wiring Subbase
NOTE: For installation dimensions, see Fig. 1 and 2 in the
Specifications for the R4140G,L or M.
The subbase can be mounted in any position except
horizontally with the knife-blade contacts pointing down.
The standard vertical position (shown in Fig. 5) is
recommended. Any other position decreases the
maximum ambient temperature rating.
Select a location on a wall or instrument panel. (The
0520A Subbase can be mounted directly in the
customer’s cabinet.) Be sure to allow clearances for
servicing and for removal of the R4140.
IMPORTANT
Do not mount the wiring subbase horizontally with
the knife-blade contacts pointing down.
For surface mounting, use the back of the subbase as
a template to mark the four screw locations. Drill the
pilot holes.
Insert the mounting screws and tighten them securely.
Wiring to Subbase
IMPORTANT
1. For on-off gas-fired systems, some authorities
having jurisdiction prohibit the wiring of any limit or
operating contacts in series between the flame
safeguard control and the main fuel valve(s).
2. Do not connect more than two C7012E,F or C7076A
Ultraviolet Flame Detectors (with self-checking
shutter) in parallel to the same terminals.
Use applicable installation instructions provided by the burner
manufacturer in addition to the corresponding instructions
given here. Before putting the system into service, check out
the installation using the procedures in the Checkout section
and any other procedures stipulated by the burner
manufacturer.
Location
Temperature
Install the R4140 where the surrounding temperatures
remain within the Ambient Operating Temperature Ratings in
the Specifications section of the Specifications for the
R4140G,L or M.
Humidity
Install the R4140 where the relative humidity never reaches
the saturation point. Condensation of moisture on the R4140
can cause enough leakage to short the flame signal to ground
and thus prevent the burner from starting.
Vibration
Do not install the R4140 where it could be subjected to
excessive vibration. Vibration shortens the life of the
electronic components.
CAUTION
Make sure the wiring to terminal 7 does not touch any
other terminal, especially terminal 8.
All wiring must comply with all applicable electrical
codes, ordinances, and regulations. Use NEC Class 1
(line voltage) wiring.
For normal installations, use moisture-resistant No. 14
wire suitable for at least 194°F (90°C).
For high temperature installations, use moisture
resistant No. 14 wire, selected for a temperature rating
above the maximum operating temperature, for all but
the ignition and flame detector F leadwires.
a.For the ignition, use Honeywell specification
no. R1061012 Ignition Cable or equivalent. This
wire is rated at 350°F (177°C) for continuous
duty, and up to 500°F (260°C) for intermittent
use. It has been tested to 25,000 volts.
b.For the flame detector F leadwire, use Honeywell
specification no. R1298020 or equivalent. This
wire is rated up to 400°F (204°C) for continuous
duty. It is tested for operation up to 600 volts and
breakdown up to 7500 volts.
IMPORTANT
Do not run high voltage ignition transformer wires in
the same conduit with the flame detector wiring.
For ignition installations in a contaminating
environment, use Honeywell specification no. R1239001
High Tension Ignition Cable or equivalent. This wire is
very resistant to severe conditions of oil, heat, and
corona, and is tested to withstand high voltages up to
60-0770—2

Page 3
R4140G, L AND M FLAME SAFEGUARD PROGRAMMING CONTROLS
25,000V rms in a salt bath for one minute without
breakdown. It is rated at 200°F (93°C) for continuous
duty, and up to 350°F (177°C) for intermittent use.
Refer to the appropriate wiring diagram in the
Specifications for the R4140G,L or M. Follow the burner
manufacturer’s wiring diagram, if provided.
Make sure the loads do not exceed the terminal ratings.
Refer to the label on the R4140 or to the Terminal
Ratings in the Specifications section of the
Specifications for the R41406,L or M.
Check the power supply circuit. The voltage and
frequency must match those of the R4140. Do not
connect the R4140 to a circuit that is subjected to line
voltage variations, such as would occur with on-off
switching of heavy loads. A separate power supply
circuit can be required for the flame safeguard control.
Add required disconnect means and overload
protection.
Check all wiring circuits and complete the Static
Checkout in Table 2 before installing the R4140.
Installing the Flame Detector
NOTE: Table 1 lists the flame detection systems available
for use with R4140 Programmers. Make sure you
are using the correct combination of amplifier and
flame detector(s).
Proper flame detector installation is the basis of a safe and
reliable flame safeguard installation. Refer to the instructions
packed with the flame detector and the burner manufacturer’s
instructions. Follow the instructions carefully for the best
possible flame detector application.
Keep the flame signal lead wires as short as possible from
the flame detector to the wiring subbase. Capacitance
increases with Ieadwire length, reducing the signal strength.
The maximum permissible leadwire length depends on the
type of flame detector, leadwire, and conduit. The ultimate
limiting factor in flame signal leadwire length is the signal
current. Refer to Table 4 in the Checkout section.

Special Considerations for a C7012E or F
The R4140 provides two sources of power for a C7012E or F
Purple Peeper Ultraviolet Flame Detector (with self-checking
shutter). The power to the black leadwires of a C7012E can
be 120V, 208V, 220V, or 240 Vac, depending on the model of
the detector. The C7012F is available only in a 120V model.
This voltage must match the power supply of the R4140.
After checking all wiring circuits, perform this checkout before
installing the programmer on the subbase. These tests
ensure that the Q520A Wiring Subbase is wired correctly, and
that the external controllers, limits, interlocks, actuators,
valves, transformers, motors, and other devices are operating
properly.
Equipment Required
The power to the white leadwires must be 120 Vac; this is the
power supply for the operation of the self-checking shutter.
The 120V for the shutter is applied automatically at terminal
17 of the R4140 through switching action within the plug-in
R7247C Flame Signal Amplifier.
General Instructions
Using Redundant Parallel C7012E or F Detectors
For a flame that is difficult to sight, using two parallel C7012E
or F Flame Detectors reduces nuisance shutdowns. If only
one of the parallel detectors loses the flame signal, the other
continues to indicate the presence of the flame and keeps the
burner running. A flame simulating failure in either detector
causes the burner to shut down. Two C7012E detectors can
be wired in parallel to the same terminals on any R4140 (if
the voltage ratings match). Two C7012F Detectors can be
wired in parallel only on 120V models. To avoid exceeding the
rating of the solid state shutter switch in the R7247C Flame
Signal Amplifier, do not connect more than two C7012E or F
Detectors in parallel.

Installing Jumper on Back of Programmer (Fig. 6)
Some R4140G, L, and M models have provisions for
extending the main burner flame-establishing period
(MBFEP) at terminal 6 by installing a jumper on the back of
the programmer. If you are installing one of these models,
A system can be upgraded from on-off to modulating by
replacing an R4140M with an R4140G (Fig. 7). A system can
be upgraded to meet Factory Mutual and Industrial Risk
Insurers (formerly FlA) requirements by replacing an R4140M
or an R4140G with an R4140L (Fig. 8).

WARNING
FIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZARD
CAN CAUSE PROPERTY DAMAGE,
SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH.
Do not manually operate relays.
WARNING
Do not allow fuel to accumulate in the combustion
chamber. If fuel is allowed to enter the chamber for
longer than a few seconds without igniting, an
explosive mixture could result. It is recommended
limiting the trial for pilot to ten seconds, and limiting
the attempt to light the main burner to five seconds. In
any case, do not exceed the normal lightoff time
specified by the burner manufacturer; close the
manual fuel shutoff valves if the flame is not burning
at the end of the specified time.

Flame Signal Measurement (Fig. 10 and
Table 4) for All Installations
Measure the flame signal at the appropriate times defined in the
following checkout tests. Read the flame signal in microamps at
the meter jack on the plug-in flame signal amplifier.
Use a Honeywell W136A Test Meter. (If a W136A is not
available, a microammeter with a 0 to 25 uA dc range
can be used.)
Set the selector switch on the test meter to:
— 25 uA for all standard amplifiers (R7247A, R7248A,
and R7249A) or for an R7248B Dynamic AmpliCheck® Infrared Amplifier or
— SPL for an R7247B or C or an R7476A Dynamic
Self-Check Amplifier. (If the test meter is not a
W136A, shunt the 0 to 25 uA dc range with a
50 microfarad capacitor.)
Use a part no. 196146 Meter Connector Plug, ordered
separately. Connect the red spade tip to the red (+)
meter lead and the black spade tip to the black (-)
meter lead.
Insert the plug into the flame signal meter jack and
allow a few seconds for the meter reading to stabilize.
If the lamp is on or off continuously while reading the flame
signal, replace the amplifier.
The meter reading must be as specified in Table 4 after
all tests are complete and all adjustments are made.
If the signal is unstable or less than the minimum acceptable
current, check the flame detector installation and circuitry.
Check the supply voltage at terminals L1-L2 on the
wiring subbase. Make sure the master switch is closed,
connections are correct, and the power supply is of the
correct voltage and frequency.
Check the detector wiring for defects including:
— incorrect connections.
— wrong type or size of wire.
— deteriorated wire.
— open circuits.
— short circuits.
— leakage paths caused by moisture, soot, or
accumulated dirt.
For a flame rod, make sure:
— there is enough ground area.
— the flame rod is properly located in the flame.
— temperature at the flame rod insulator is no
greater than 500°F (260°C).
— ignition interference is not present (see Ignition
Interference Test section).

For a C7012A,C,E or F Purple Peeper Ultraviolet Flame
Detector, replace the 113236 and 115330 Electron
Tubes, unless the detector is a solid state model.
With the burner running, check the temperature at the
detector. If it exceeds the detector’s maximum rated
temperature:
— add additional insulation between the wall of the
combustion chamber and the detector,
— add a shield or screen to reflect radiated heat
away from the detector, or
— add cooling. (Refer to Sight Pipe Ventilation in the
Instructions for the detector.)
Make sure that the flame adjustment is not too lean.
Make sure the detector is properly sighting the flame.
If necessary, resight or reposition the detector.
If you cannot obtain proper operation, replace the plug-in
amplifier. If you continue to be unable to obtain proper
operation, replace the flame detector.
Initial Lightoff Check for Proved Pilot (All
Installations Using a Pilot)
Perform this check on all installations using a pilot. It should
immediately follow the preliminary inspection.
so, bypass them with jumpers during this check.
Open the master switch.
Make sure the manual main fuel shutoff valve(s) is
closed. Open the manual pilot shutoff valve. If the pilot
takeoff is downstream from the manual main fuel
shutoff valve, make sure the main fuel is shut off just
upstream from the burner inlet, or disconnect power
from the automatic main fuel valve(s).
Close the master switch and start the system with a call
for heat (raise the setpoint of the burner controller). The
burner motor (blower) should run, the programmer
timer should start, and prepurge should begin.
Let the timer dial advance through PREPURGE. When
the IGN part of the dial is opposite the index notch,
spark should occur and the pilot should ignite. If it
ignites, proceed to step .
If the pilot flame is not established in ten seconds,
safety shutdown occurs in about one-half minute. Let
the timer complete its revolution and stop.
Wait about one minute, reset the lockout switch, and let
the system recycle once. If the pilot still does not ignite,
make the following ignition/pilot adjustments:
This minimum or stronger signal is easily obtained when the detector is correctly installed and positioned to sense flame
properly.

k.Check for adequate fuel line bleeding.
l.Reinstall the programmer on the subbase, reset
the lockout switch, and close the master switch.
When the pilot ignites, measure the flame signal. If
necessary, adjust the flame or detector to give a proper
flame signal.
Recycle the system to recheck lightoff and the pilot
flame signal.
When the MAIN part of the timer dial is opposite the
index notch, make sure the automatic main fuel
valve(s) opens; then smoothly open the manual main
fuel shutoff valve (and manually opened safety shutoff
valve, if used) and watch for main burner flame ignition.
When the main burner flame is established, proceed to
step 씊.
NOTE: This step requires two people—one to open
the manual valve(s) and one to watch for
ignition.
쐅 If the main burner flame is not established within five
seconds, or within the normal lightoff time specified by
the burner manufacturer, close the manual main fuel
shutoff valve(s) and open the master switch.
쐈 Purge the combustion chamber to remove any
unburned fuel. Check all burner adjustments.
쐉 Wait about three minutes. Reset the lockout switch,
close the master switch, and let the programmer
recycle to MAIN. Smoothly open the manual fuel shutoff
valve(s) and try lightoff again. The first attempt may
have been required to purge the lines and bring
sufficient fuel to the burner.
NOTE: This step requires two people—one to open
the manual valve(s) and one to watch for
ignition.
씈 If the main burner flame is not established within five sec-
onds, or within the normal lightoff time specified by the
burner manufacturer, close the manual main fuel shutoff
valve(s) and open the master switch. Check all burner
adjustments.
씉 Repeat steps 쐈 through 씈 to establish the main
burner flame.
씊 When the main burner flame is established, the timer
dial advances to the end of MAIN and stops. Make
burner adjustments for flame stability and input rating.
씋 Shut down the system by lowering the setpoint of the
burner controller. Make sure the main burner flame
goes out. If using an intermittent pilot, make sure the
pilot flame goes out. Make sure all automatic fuel
valves close.
씌 If used, remove the bypass jumpers from the low fuel
pressure limits.
씍 Restart the system by raising the setpoint of the burner
controller. Observe that the pilot is established during
IGN and the main burner flame during MAIN, within the
normal lightoff time specified by the burner
manufacturer.
씎 Measure the flame signal. Continue to check for the
proper signal (Table 4) through the MAIN part of the
timer dial, and into the Run period after the timer stops.
Check the signal at both high and low firing rate
positions and while modulating, if applicable.
씏 Run the burner through another sequence, observing
the flame signal for:
— pilot alone (unless using direct spark ignition)
— pilot and main burner flame together, and
— main burner flame alone (unless monitoring an
intermittent pilot).
Also observe the time to light the main burner.
IMPORTANT
Make sure all readings are in the required ranges
before proceeding.
Initial Lightoff Check for Direct Spark
Ignition of Oil (Oil Burners not Using a Pilot)
This check applies for oil burners not using a pilot. It should
immediately follow the preliminary inspection.
Refer to the appropriate sample block diagram of field wiring

Let the timer dial advance through PREPURGE. When
the IGN part of the dial is opposite the index notch,
watch for ignition spark and listen for the click of the
first stage oil solenoid. (If spark does not occur or the
first stage oil valve does not open, refer to Symptom E
in Table 5 in the Troubleshooting section.)
Let the programmer complete its revolution and stop.
Open the manual first stage oil valve.
Reset the lockout switch and recycle the programmer
through PREPURGE.
When the IGN part of the timer dial is opposite the
index notch, watch for the first stage burner flame to be
established. If it is, proceed to step 씊.
쐅 If the first stage burner flame is not established within
five seconds, or within the normal lightoff time specified
by the burner manufacturer, close the manual first
stage oil valve and open the master switch.
쐈 Purge the combustion chamber to remove any
unburned oil; then check all burner adjustments.
쐉 Wait about three minutes. Close the master switch,
open the manual first stage oil valve, and try lightoff
again. The first attempt may have been required to
purge the lines and bring sufficient oil to the burner.
씈 If the first stage burner flame is not established within
five seconds, or within the normal lightoff time specified
by the burner manufacturer, close the manual first
stage oil valve and open the master switch.
씉 If necessary, repeat steps 쐈 through 씈 to establish the
first stage burner flame. Then proceed to step 씊.
씊 When the first stage burner flame is established, the
timer dial advances to the end of MAIN and stops.
Make burner adjustments for flame stability and input
rating. If a second stage is used, make sure the
automatic second stage oil valve opened.
씋 Shut down the system by lowering the setpoint of the
burner controller. Make sure the burner flame goes out
and all automatic oil valves close.
씌 If used, remove the bypass jumpers from the low fuel
pressure limits.
씍 If a second stage is used, check the lightoff as follows;
otherwise, proceed to step 씎.
a.Open the manual second stage oil valve.
b.Restart the system by raising the setpoint of the
burner controller.
c.When the first stage burner flame is established,
watch for the automatic second stage oil valve to
open. Observe that the second stage lights off
properly.
d.Make burner adjustments for flame stability and
input rating.
e.Shut down the system by lowering the setpoint of
the burner controller. Make sure the burner
flames go out and all automatic oil valves close.
f.Proceed to step 씎.
씎 Restart the system by raising the setpoint of the burner
controller. Observe that the burner flame is established
during IGN, within the normal lightoff time specified by
the burner manufacturer.
씏 Measure the flame signal. Continue to check for the
proper signal (Table 4) through the MAIN part of the
timer dial and into the Run period after the timer stops.
Check the signal at both the high and the low firing rate
positions and while modulating, if applicable. Any
pulsating or unsteady readings require further
adjustments.
IMPORTANT
Make sure all readings are in the required ranges
before proceeding.
Pilot Turndown Test (All Installations using
a Pilot)
Perform this check on all installations using a pilot. It should
immediately follow the initial lightoff check. The purpose of
this test is to ensure that the main burner can be lighted by
the smallest pilot flame that can hold in the 2K (flame) relay.
Clean the flame detector(s) to ensure it can detect the
smallest acceptable pilot flame.
NOTE: Low fuel pressure limits, if used, could be open. If
so, bypass them with jumpers during this test.
Open the master switch.
Close the manual main fuel shutoff valve(s).
Connect a manometer (or pressure gauge) to measure
pilot gas pressure during the turndown test.
Open the manual pilot shutoff valve.
Close the master switch and start the system with a call
for heat (raise the setpoint of the burner controller). The
burner motor (blower) should run, the programmer
timer should start, and prepurge should begin.
When the IGN area of the timer dial is opposite the
index notch, set the timer switch to the TEST position to
stop the timer. Relay 2K should pull in when the pilot
ignites.
NOTE: If the timer does not stop, recycle the
programmer and set the timer switch as soon
as the beginning of the IGN area of the timer
dial reaches the index notch.
IMPORTANT
You have only six seconds to stop the timer after the
ignition starts.
Turn down the pilot pressure very slowly, reading the
manometer (or gauge) as it drops. Stop instantly when
relay 2K drops out. Note the pressure at the dropout
point. The pilot is at the turndown position. Immediately,
turn up the pilot pressure until relay 2K pulls in again.
NOTE: With the timer stopped in this position, the
lockout switch heats when 2K is not pulled in.
If 2K is out for a total of about one-half minute,
safety shutdown occurs.
Repeat step to verify the pilot gas pressure reading
at the exact point of relay 2K dropout.
Increase the pilot pressure immediately to pull in 2K,
and then turn it down slowly to obtain a pressure
reading just above the dropout point.
쐅 Set the timer switch to the NORM position and let the
timer proceed. When the MAIN area of the timer dial
reaches the index notch, make sure the automatic main
fuel valve(s) opens; then smoothly open the manual
main fuel shutoff valve (and manually opened safety
shutoff valve, if used) and watch for main burner
ignition. If the main burner flame is established,
proceed to step 씌.

R4140G, L AND M FLAME SAFEGUARD PROGRAMMING CONTROLS
NOTE: This step requires two people—one to open the
manual valve(s) and one to watch for ignition.
쐈 If the main burner flame is not established within five
seconds, or within the normal lightoff time specified by
the burner manufacturer, close the manual main fuel
shutoff valve(s) and open the master switch.
쐉 Purge the combustion chamber to remove any
unburned fuel. Check all burner adjustments.
씈 Wait about three minutes. Reset the lockout switch (if
tripped), close the master switch, and let the
programmer recycle to MAIN. Repeat steps 쐅 and 쐈
(try lightoff again).
씉 If the second attempt is unsuccessful, adjust the flame
detector position so that a larger pilot is required to hold
in flame relay 2K. This may require relocating the flame
detector to sense farther out on the pilot flame, or
adding an orifice plate.
씊 Measure the pilot flame signal after adjusting the flame
detector to make sure it is stable and above the
minimum (see Table 4).
씋 Repeat steps through 씊 until the main burner
positively lights with the pilot flame just holding in flame
relay 2K.
씌 Repeat the lightoff of the main burner several times
(steps through 쐅) with the pilot at turndown.
씍 When the main burner lights reliably with the pilot at
turndown, disconnect the manometer (or gauge) and
turn up the pilot to normal.
씎 If used, remove the bypass jumpers from the low fuel
pressure limits.
씏 Run the system through another cycle to check for
normal operation.
Ignition Interference Test (All Flame Rods)
Test to make certain that a false signal from a spark ignition
system is not superimposed on the flame signal.
Ignition interference can subtract from (decrease) or add to
(increase) the flame signal. If it decreases the flame signal
enough, it causes safety shutdown (relay 2K does not pull in
and the programmer acts as though the pilot or main burner, if
using direct spark ignition, was not ignited). If it increases the
flame signal, it could cause relay 2K to pull in when the true
flame signal is below the minimum acceptable value.
To Test for Interference
Start the burner and measure the flame signal with both
ignition and pilot (or main burner) on, and then with only the
pilot (or main burner) on. Any significant difference (greater
than 1/2 uA) indicates ignition interference.
To Eliminate Ignition Interference
Make sure there is enough ground area.
Be sure the ignition electrode and the flame rod are on
opposite sides of the ground area.
Check for correct spacing on the ignition electrode:
6,000 volt systems—1/16 to 3/32 in. (1.6 to 2.4 mm).
10,000 volt systems—1/8 in. (3.2 mm).
Make sure the leadwires from the flame rod and ignition
electrode are not too close together anywhere.
Replace any deteriorated leadwires.
If the problem cannot be eliminated, change to an
ultraviolet flame detection system.
Hot Refractory Saturation Test (All Infrared
Detectors)
Test to make certain that radiation from hot refractory does
not mask the flickering radiation of the flame itself.
Start the burner and monitor the flame signal during the
warmup period. A decrease in signal strength as the
refractory heats up indicates hot refractory saturation. If
saturation is extreme, the flame relay 2K drops out and the
system shuts down as though a flame failure occurred.
If hot refractory saturation occurs, the condition must be
corrected. Add an orifice plate ahead of the cell to restrict the
viewing area. If this does not work, resight the detector at a
cooler, more distant background. You can also try lengthening
the sight pipe or decreasing the pipe size (diameter). Continue
adjustments until hot refractory saturation is eliminated.
Hot Refractory Hold-In Test (Rectifying Photocells or
Infrared Detectors)
Test to make certain that hot refractory does not cause flame
relay 2K to stay pulled-in after the burner flame goes out. This
condition delays response to flame failure and also prevents
a system restart as long as hot refractory is detected.
First check the plug-in flame signal amplifier by starting a
burner cycle. As soon as the programmer stops for the run
period, lower the setpoint of the burner controller to shut
down the burner while the refractory is still at a low
temperature. Measure the time it takes for the flame relay 2K
to drop out after the flame goes out. (Watch or listen to the
flame relay to determine when it drops out.) If the flame relay
fails to drop out within four seconds, open the master switch
and replace the amplifier.
To check rectifying photocells for hot refractory hold-in,
operate the burner until the refractory reaches its maximum
temperature. Then terminate the firing cycle. (Lower the
setpoint of the burner controller, or set the fuel selector switch
to OFF. Do not open the master switch.) Visually observe
when the burner flame goes out. After the flame goes out,
measure the time it takes for the flame relay 2K to drop out.
(Watch or listen to the flame relay to determine when it drops
out.) If the flame relay fails to dropout within four seconds, the
photocell is sensing hot refractory. This condition must be
corrected as described in the last paragraph of this test
Infrared (lead sulfide) detectors can respond to infrared rays
emitted by a hot refractory, even when the refractory has visibly
ceased to glow. Infrared radiation from a hot refractory is
steady, but radiation from a flame has a flickering
characteristic. The infrared detection system responds only to
a flickering infrared radiation; it can reject a steady signal from
hot refractory. The refractory’s steady signal can be made to
fluctuate if it is reflected, bent, or blocked by smoke or fuel mist
within the combustion chamber. Take care when applying an
infrared system to ensure its response to flame only.
To check infrared (lead sulfide) detectors for hot refractory
hold-in, operate the burner until the refractory reaches its
maximum temperature. If the installation has a multifuel
burner, burn the heavier fuel, which is most likely to reflect,
bend, or obscure the hot refractory’s steady infrared radiation.

(Burn a solid instead of a liquid, or a liquid instead of a gas.)
When the maximum refractory temperature is reached, close
all manual fuel shutoff valves, or open the electrical circuits of
all automatic fuel valves. Visually observe when the burner
flame goes out. After the flame goes out, measure the time it
takes for the flame relay 2K to drop out. (Watch or listen to the
flame relay to determine when it drops out.) If the flame relay
fails to drop out within four seconds, the infrared detector is
sensing hot refractory. Immediately terminate the firing cycle.
(Lower the setpoint of the burner controller, or set the fuel
selector switch to OFF. Do not open the master switch.)
NOTE: Some burners continue to purge their oil lines
between the valve(s) and nozzle(s) even though the
fuel valve(s) is closed. Terminating the firing cycle
(instead of opening the master switch) allows
purging the combustion chamber, if available. This
reduces a buildup of fuel vapors in the combustion
chamber caused by oil line purging.
If the detector is sensing hot refractory, the condition must be
corrected. Add an orifice plate ahead of the cell to restrict the
viewing area of the detector. If this does not work, resight the
detector at a cooler, more distant part of the combustion
chamber. While resighting the detector, remember that it must
also properly sight the flame. For an infrared detector, you
can also try lengthening the sight pipe or decreasing the pipe
size (diameter). For details, refer to the C7015A Instructions,
form 60-2306. Continue adjustments until hot refractory holdin is eliminated.
Ultraviolet Response Tests (All Ultraviolet
Detectors) Ignition Spark Response Test
Test to be sure that ignition spark is not actuating flame
relay 2K.
Close the pilot and main burner manual fuel shut-off
valves.
Start the burner and run through the ignition period.
Ignition spark should occur, but relay 2K must not pull in.
The flame signal should not be more than 1/4 microamp.
If relay 2K does pull in, resight the detector farther out
from the spark, or away from possible reflection. It may
be necessary to construct a barrier to block the ignition
spark from the detector’s view. Continue adjustments
until the flame signal due to ignition spark is less than
1/4 microamp.
NOTE: Honeywell Q624A Solid State Spark Generator
prevents detection of ignition spark when properly
applied with flame detection systems using C7027,
C7035, or C7044 Minipeeper Ultraviolet Flame
Detectors. The Q624A is for use only with gas pilots.
Response to Other Ultraviolet Sources
Some sources of artificial light produce small amounts of
ultraviolet radiation. Under certain conditions, an ultraviolet
detector responds to them as if sensing a flame. Do not use
an artificial light source to check the response of an ultraviolet
detector. To check for proper detector operation, conduct flame
failure response tests (Safety Shutdown Tests 1, 2, and 3)
under all operating conditions.
Flame Signal with Hot Combustion Chamber
(All Installations)
With all initial startup tests and burner adjustments completed,
operate the burner until the combustion chamber is at
maximum expected temperature. (Observe the burner
manufacturer warmup instructions.) Recycle the burner under
these hot conditions and measure the flame signal. Check the
pilot alone, the main burner flame alone, and both together
(unless monitoring only the pilot flame when using an
intermittent pilot, or only the main burner flame when using
direct spark ignition). Check the signal at both the high and the
low firing rate positions and while modulating, if applicable.
Also check the flame failure response time. Lower the
setpoint of the burner controller and observe the time it takes
flame relay 2K to drop out after the burner flame goes out (2K
should drop out within four seconds).
If the flame signal is too low or unsteady, check the flame
detector temperature. Relocate the detector if the
temperature is too high. If necessary, realign the sighting to
obtain the proper signal and response time. If the response
time continues to be too slow, replace the plug-in flame signal
amplifier. If the detector is relocated or resighted, or the
amplifier is replaced, repeat all required checkout tests.
IMPORTANT
Repeat all required Checkout tests after all
adjustments are complete. All tests must be satisfied
with the flame detector(s) in its FINAL position.
Safety Shutdown Tests (All Installations)
Perform these tests at the end of Checkout after all other
tests are complete.
For all R4140 Programmers, safety shutdown should occur
on: (1) failure to ignite the pilot (or first stage burner when
using direct spark ignition), (2) failure to light the main burner
(unless monitoring an intermittent pilot), and (3) loss of flame
during the Run period. (If a self-checking flame detection
system is used, safety shutdown should also occur on a
failure in the detection system. However, because the
programmer acts the same if a flame failure has occurred, no
separate test is necessary.)
For an R4140L, safety shutdown should also occur upon (1)
detection of a flame (or a condition simulating a flame) before
or during prepurge, (2) opening of a preignition interlock
during prepurge, and (3) opening of a lockout interlock after
14 seconds.
On safety shutdown, the lockout switch should trip (pop out)
and lock out the programmer. The ignition and fuel valve
terminals should be de-energized. If used, the external alarm
should turn on. The timer should complete its revolution and
lock up at the start position. The lockout switch must be
manually reset to restart the system.
Failure to Ignite Pilot (or First Stage Burner if Using
Direct Spark Ignition).

Preliminary Check (Fig. 11)
Open the master switch before performing this check.
Eliminate the possibility of trouble being caused by poor
contact of the spring connectors on the back of the
programmer. Ensure that they are properly aligned and have
the proper tension. They should be tight enough so that it is
necessary to force a dime between the contacts. If a dime
slips through, gently press the connector together with your
finger tips—do not use pliers.
Troubleshooting Procedures
Refer to the Step-By-Step Operation for the appropriate
R4140 model in the Operation section of the R4140G,L or M
Specifications. Observe the operation carefully to determine
the point where the trouble occurs. Then refer to Table 5 and
follow the troubleshooting procedure(s) outlined.
Refer to Fig. 15, 16, and 17 for location of relay and timer
contacts. Access to the contacts can be gained by removing
the relay/timer cover (Fig. 4).
Fig. 11. Adjusting spring connectors.
IMPORTANT
a. Blackened M4A, M6B, M8B, M9B, or M11B timer
contacts are due to normal deposits of impurities
caused by breaking an inductive load (ignition
transformer). Tests on returned programmers have
shown that the deposits are not heavy enough to
cause ignition failure. Determine exactly at what
point in the operating sequence the trouble occurs
and carefully follow the applicable troubleshooting
procedure.
b. Before you reset the lockout switch, wait at least
one minute to allow the heater to cool.
c. If, after completing an applicable troubleshooting
procedure, proper operation still cannot be
obtained, replace the programmer (except the
amplifier, unless noted).
d. At the completion of troubleshooting, be sure to
perform all applicable tests in the Checkout section
of these instructions.
A. On a call for heat,
programmer will not start.

Flame Signal Check
IMPORTANT
If the flame relay 2K does not pull in when the pilot
(or first stage burner) ignites, or if shutdown occurs
during the Run period, perform this check. The flame
detector, plug-in flame signal amplifier, and flame
relay 2K form a flame detection system, which can
be disabled by failure of any of the components.
Open the master switch and plug a microammeter into
the meter jack on the plug-in amplifier (Fig. 10).
Make sure all manual fuel shutoff valves are closed.
Open the manual pilot shutoff valve (or manual first
stage fuel valve if using direct spark ignition).
Reset the Lockout switch and close the master switch
to start the programmer.
When the pilot (or first stage burner) ignites, measure
the flame signal as described in Flame Signal
Measurement in the Checkout section. If the signal is
unstable or weak, check the flame detector installation
and circuitry as instructed.
Recycle the programmer and measure the flame signal
again to obtain a good reading. If the flame signal is
unstable or less than the minimum acceptable value
listed in Table 4, proceed to step . Otherwise,
continue with step .
If the flame signal is stable and above the minimum
acceptable value listed in Table 4, either the amplifier or
the programmer is faulty.
a.Let the programmer complete its revolution and
open the master switch.
b.Replace the plug-in amplifier with a new one of
the same part number.
c.Reset the Lockout switch, close the master
switch, recycle the programmer, and measure the
flame signal again.
d.If the flame signal is OK and relay 2K pulls in,
operation is normal. Omit steps through , and
perform the Pilot Turndown Test in the Checkout
section (unless using direct spark ignition).
e.If the flame signal is OK but relay 2K still does not
pull in, replace the programmer. (Keep the plug-in
amplifiers.) Repeat all required tests in the
Checkout section.

—incorrect connections.
—wrong type or size of wire.
—deteriorated wire.
—open circuits.
—short circuits.
—leakage paths caused by moisture, soot, or
accumulated dirt.
b.For a flame rod, make sure:
—there is enough ground area.
—the flame rod is properly located in the
flame.
—temperature at the flame rod insulator is no
greater than 500°F (260°C).
—ignition interference is not present (see
Ignition Interference Test in the Checkout
section).
c.For all other detectors, clean the detector lens,
filter, viewing window, and inside of the sight pipe,
as applicable.
d.For a C7012A,C,E or F Purple Peeper Ultraviolet
Flame Detector, replace the 113236 and 115330

state model).
e.With the burner running, check the temperature
at the detector. If it exceeds the detector’s
maximum rated temperature:
—add additional insulation between the wall
of the combustion chamber and the
detector,
—add a shield or screen to reflect radiated
heat away from the detector, or
—add cooling. (Refer to Sight Pipe Ventilation
in the detector Instructions.)
f.Make sure that the flame adjustment is not too
lean.
g.Make sure the detector is properly sighting the
flame.
h.If necessary, resight or reposition the detector.

i.If trouble persists, replace the detector. (Open the
master switch before replacing the flame
detector.)
IMPORTANT
If you make any changes in the flame detection
system (including the plug-in amplifier), repeat all
required tests in the Checkout section.
SERVICE INFORMATION
CAUTION
1.Only qualified service technicians should attempt
to service or repair flame safeguard controls and
burner systems.
2.Open the master switch before removing the
relay/timer cover or before cleaning the contacts.
Line voltage can be present on most contacts
when power is on. If cleaning is necessary, be
sure to replace the relay/timer cover.
Scheduled Inspection and Maintenance
A schedule should be set up and followed for periodic
inspection and maintenance, for the burner, all other controls,
and the programmer. Include the following in that schedule:
Always keep the burner and fuel mixture adjusted
according to the burner manufacturer recommendations.
Keep the flame detection system adjusted for the
smoothest, most reliable operation recommended by
the burner manufacturer.
Clean the flame detector lens, filter, viewing window,
and inside of the sight pipe, as applicable.
Check the flame signal (Table 4) using a Honeywell
W136A Test Meter or equivalent (and a 196146 Meter
Connector Plug, if needed).
If using a C7012A,C,E or F Purple Peeper Ultraviolet
Flame Detector, replace the 113236 and 115330
Electron Tubes annually (unless the detector is a solid
state model). These tubes are tested by Honeywell to
ensure reliability and safety.
with commercial substitutes.
Do not replace these tubes
The cleaners leave an oily residue that collects dust
and dirt. The residue also breaks down to form various
carbonaceous products. Either result causes early
contact failure.
Do not use an abrasive (sandpaper stick, file, etc.) or a
burnishing tool to clean contacts. Its use can cause early
contact failure for these reasons:
Some relay and timer contacts are plated with gold for
increased reliability. Burnishing can quickly remove the
plating.
The radii or points of the contacts are designed with
specific shapes to best serve the intended functions of
the contacts. Burnishing can rapidly alter these contact
configurations.
Use of an abrasive loosens fine particles of the contact
material that adhere to the surface of the contact, thus
increasing its resistance.

to ensure maximum contact life. Burnishing can easily
change these specifications.

Contact Cleaning
Field cleaning of relay or timer contacts is not recommended.
IMPORTANT
1. Do not clean contacts.
2. Use extreme care to avoid bending the contacts or
changing the specifications or configuration in any
way.
3. Do not use an abrasive or a burnishing tool to clean
contacts.
4. Do not use hard paper, such as a business card, to
clean contacts.
Do not use other types of contact cleaners. Honeywell’s
chemical analysis laboratory tested other pressurized type
contact cleaners but did not approve them for these reasons:
The solvents could deteriorate plastic parts and wire
insulation.

TESTING AND MAINTENANCE
Periodic tests of all boiler controls and safety devices are
required to determine that they are operating as designed to
provide a measure of safety. Because the operation of all
control and safety devices depends on the ability to respond
quickly to activating impulses, perform systematic and
thorough inspection and maintenance on a scheduled basis to
insure the devices are operating as designed at all times. All
information needed to comply with this schedule is be provided
by the boiler and burner manufacturer in the Operating and
Maintenance Instructions furnished with the unit.
It is strongly recommended that the owner or user of the
automatic boiler system set up a formal system of periodic
preventive maintenance and testing. These tests should be
conducted on a regular basis and the results recorded in a
log book. Table 6 contains a recommended check list.
Because of the variety of equipment in use, owners and users
should write a detailed check list for the operator’s use. This
list must be in accordance with the equipment manufacturer’s
instructions on maintenance and should at least meet the
requirements of the following schedule.
— During initial operation of a system inspection, adjustment,
cleaning, and testing should be performed more frequently.
— Any defects in the system must be corrected immediately.
— Precautions must be taken while testing is in progress to
protect the testing personnel, building occupants, and
equipment from injury or damage.
— It is essential that any personnel who make inspections be
thoroughly familiar with the operating procedures and
equipment functions and be capable of judging when
equipment is operating in accordance with the
manufacturer’s instructions and complies with all
governing codes and ordinances.
