Checking the usage
Intended use
Ionization-controlled gas pilot for safely igniting gas
burners. The capacity of the gas pilot should be 2
to 5% of that of the main burner.
Can also be used as independently operated burner.
For natural gas, coke oven gas, town gas and LPG.
Other types of gas on request.
This function is only guaranteed when used within
the specified limits – see also page7 (Technical
data). Any other use is considered as non-compliant.

Installation
DANGER
Risk of explosion! Ensure the connection is air-
tight.
CAUTION
Burner fault! If used as gas pilot, the gas and
air pressures must be higher than the connection
pressures of the main burner.
▷ Install the gas pilot so that reliable ignition of the
main burner is guaranteed.
▷ Attach the gas pilot securely.▷
We recommend that a filter be installed in the
gas and air supply line respectively.
6 For air-tight installation, hand-tighten the union
nut then tighten it with a further turn (olive fitting
is secured).
7 Connect the pilot gas supply line with Rp¼ and
the air line with Rp½.
ZMIC
IMPORTANT
Only install the ZMIC when the burner block is cold.
When installing in a hot burner block, the fibre insulation can be damaged in such a way that the
burner can be thermally destroyed.
▷ Recommended inlet pressures:gas: up to 100mbar (up to 40"WC),
air: up to 120mbar (up to 47"WC).
▷ Install pressure regulators and adjusting cocks
in the air and gas supply lines upstream of the
burner so that the air and gas pressures can
be adjusted.
To tighten the
union nut, use
a lubricant.
Remove
transport safety
device, masking tape and
O-ring.
ZMI
▷ Recommended inlet pressures:gas: up to 80mbar (up to 32"WC),
air: up to 120mbar (up to 47"WC).

safety device.
Insulating the ceramic tube
▷ Protect the ceramic tube from thermal stress.▷ Insulation with enclosed insulation strips.
Compress insulation strips by wrapping adhesive
foil around them tightly until they press tightly
against the ceramic tube.

Wiring
DANGER
Electric shocks can be fatal! Before working on
possible live components, ensure the unit is disconnected from the power supply.
▷
For the ionization and ignition cables, use un-
screened high-voltage cable:
FZLSi 1/7 -50 to +180°C (-58 to +356°F),
Order No. 04250410,
or
FZLK 1/7 -5 to +80°C (23 to 176°F),
Order No. 04250409.
▷
Wire the burner as shown in the connection
diagrams of the automatic burner control unit/
ignition transformer.
▷ Flame control and ignition by a single electrode
(single-electrode operation).
4 Route the PE wire directly to the automatic burner
control unit.

DANGER
Risk of explosion and poisoning! To ensure that
there is no danger resulting from a leak, check the
gas connections on the burner for leaks immediately
after the burner has been put into operation.

DANGER
Risk of explosion! Please observe the appropriate
precautions when igniting the burners.
Risk of poisoning! Open the gas and air supply
so that the burner is always operated with excess
air– otherwise CO will form in the furnace chamber.
CO is odourless and poisonous! Conduct a flue
gas analysis.
▷ Arrange the adjustment and commissioning of
the burner with the system operator or manufacturer.
▷
Check the entire system, upstream devices and
electrical connections.
▷ Pre-purge the furnace chamber with air before
every ignition attempt.
DANGER
Risk of explosion! Fill the gas line to the burner
carefully and correctly with gas and vent it safely
into the open air – do not discharge the test volume
into the furnace chamber.
▷ If the burner does not ignite although the auto-
matic burner control unit has been switched on
and off several times: check the entire system.
▷ After ignition, monitor the gas and air pressures
measured on the burner and the flame. Measure
the ionization current. Switch-off threshold– see
automatic burner control unit operating instructions.
Switch on the system. Open the manual valve. Ignite the burner via the automatic burner control
unit.
4 Adjust the burner.
▷
Set the ionization current by adjusting the air
volume.
▷ The ionization current must be at least 5µA and
must not vary.
DANGER
Risk of explosion in case of CO being formed
in the furnace chamber! An incorrect change of
the burner settings may change the gas/air ratio
and lead to unsafe operating conditions. CO is
odourless and poisonous!
5 Set the pressure regulators for the gas and air
supply pressures to the maximum admissible
values, whereby the gas and air supply pressures
should be identical.

Maintenance
▷ We recommend an annual function check.
DANGER
Electric shocks can be fatal! Before working
on possible live components, ensure the unit is
disconnected from the power supply.
Risk of burning! Dismantled burner components
can be hot due to outflowing flue gases.
Risk of explosion and poisoning in case of
burner adjustment with an air deficiency! Ad-
just the gas and air supply so that the burner is
always operated with excess air – otherwise CO
will form in the furnace chamber. CO is odourless
and poisonous! Conduct a flue gas analysis.
Check the ionization and ignition cables.
Measure the ionization current.
▷ The ionization current must be at least 5µA and
must not vary.
Disconnect the system from the electrical power
supply.
