2.4 Mounting Notes
NOTICE
Please observe the following warnings to avoid personal injury and damage to property
and the environment:
Compliance with national safety regulations and standards is required at all times.
Note that approvals for accessories, in particular the optical flame sensor, are not part of
the approval of the F130I.
During the assembly and installation process, you must meet the requirements of stand-
ards DIN / VDE 0100, 0550 and DIN / VDE 0722.
Although the device exceeds the requirements of the applicable EMC standards, in some
cases by a considerable amount, proper wiring is the prerequisite for ensuring that the device and thus the entire plant operates without problems in all cases.
Run the sensor connection cable including its extension physically separate from the
mains and control cables (do not run them parallel to each other).
Avoid running sensor cables near the following components:
- ignition cables
- ignition transformer and electric motors
- contactors resp. switches and frequency transformers, which switch high inductive or
capacitive loads.
Run the supply and signal cables of the flame monitor physically separated from each
other. Take measures to prevent short circuits between the cables.

2 General Safety Instructions
2.5 Installation Notes
WARNING!
Please observe the following warnings to avoid personal injury and damage to property
and the environment:
Tighten the screw terminals of the F130l using a sufficient tightening torque.
Supply the feed cable with L, N and FPE only. The neutral conductor may not have any
potential difference to FPE.
Phase and neutral conductors may not be interchanged (this would lead to dangerous
malfunctioning, loss of protection against contact, etc.).
The supply cable of the F130l must absolutely be fused with a 4A (slow) fuse.
The minimum fusing amounts to 0.5A.
The strain relief for the connected cables must comply with standards (e.g. according to
DIN EN 60730 and DIN EN 60335).
Make sure that no spliced strands can come into contact with any of the adjacent connec-
tions. Use appropriate end sleeves.
Before working in the connection area, switch off the power supply to the plant from all
poles. Ensure that it cannot be switched back on and that the plant is voltage-free. There
is a risk of electric shock when the plant is not switched on.
The device may only be opened by qualified personnel. Disconnect the device from the
supply voltage at all poles before opening.
Apply shielded cables directly (without any intermediate terminals if at all possible). If in-
termediate terminals are necessary , take the shortest route to applying the shielding to the
terminal.
Avoid long connecting wires without shielding.
In order to provide for operating safety make sure when installing the output contacts that
the circuitry of the radio interference suppression to be provided by the user is carried out
in such a way that there is no risk of shorting out the relay contact output by defective component parts of the suppressor circuitry.

2.6 Information about connecting the flame sensor
WARNING!
It is important that signal transmission be as free of interference and loss as possible
Do not lay the sensor lead with other leads – lead capacities decrease the size of the flame
signal – use a separate cable.
Observe the permitted length of the sensor leads.
The mains-operated ionisation flame sensor is not protected against contact but does
need to be protected against accidental contact.
Earth the burner as prescribed in the regulations – it is not enough to earth the boiler on
its own!
Position the ignition electrode and the ionisation flame sensor where the ignition spark
cannot arc over to the ionisation flame sensor (risk of electrical overloading)
Make sure that the functional earth ground (FPE) is connected properly. A missing or in-
correctly connected cable will not be able to protect the ionisation input in the event of a
malfunction or from external overvoltage and other EMC influences.
Depending on the flame sensor input, only one sensor each may be connected.
Please observe the requirements and specifications of the flame sensor manufacturer.

4 Design and Functions
4.3 Functional Description
Flame monitoring
The flame sensors listed in chapter 4.2 Flame Sensors are intended for connection to the
flame sensor inputs. Depending on the flame sensor, dif ferent properties of the flame are used
in order to determine the status of the flame as well as its intensity and to convert it into electrical signal that can be evaluated. Thus, the ION input utilises the rectifying property of the
flame, the UV tubes on the UV input the ultraviolet (UV) radiation and the LDR input the radiant
energy of the visible light spectrum. The connection of the flame sensor is approved individually or in combination, whereby the evaluation device F130l reports a flame as soon as one of
the inputs detects a flame. The evaluation of the flame signals and the enabling of the flame
relay output is 2-channel. The flame signal is reported via a safety-oriented, potential-free relay output.
Self-monitoring function
The correct functioning of both processing channels is monitored by a separate monitoring
unit. The output relays are switched off by this in the event of a fault and the fault relay is
switched on.
Status information
One LED display , as shown in chapter 3 Product Description, indicates the state of the flame
monitor. The following LEDs are present:

NOTICE
Shielding/extension of connecting cables
Warning to avoid damage to property
Apply shielded cables directly (without any intermediate terminals if at all possible).
If intermediate terminals are necessary, take the shortest route to applying the shielding
to the terminal.
Avoid long connecting wires without shielding.
Use a separate, shielded extension cable to implement an extension on site.
NOTICE
High electromagnetic interference
Excessive electromagnetic interference can lead to sporadic problems with flame detection
and even prevent it.
In individual cases, a connection between device ground and functional earth ground
(FPE) can remedy this.

5.2.2 Installation and positioning of the optical flame sensor
Observe the following points when installing and positioning the optical flame sensor:
NOTICE
Mounting location
Ensure that the mounting location is easily accessible. During operation of the combustion
plant, you should have the possibility to check the alignment of the flame monitor.
Ensure that the burner flame is clearly visible in the entire "colour range of the combustion
plant" for the optical flame sensor.
NOTICE
Mounting the device using a holder
If at all possible, mount the optical flame sensor to the burner/boiler viewing opening using
a holder optimised by LAMTEC for use with flame sensors.
The flame sensor is now mounted. Please observe the following instructions about aligning
the optical flame sensor.
5.2.3 Aligning the optical flame sensor
Observe the following points when aligning the optical flame sensor:
• In the axially parallel arrangement, it can be difficult to detect that the flame has gone out.
Avoid aligning the flame sensor in an axially parallel arrangement with the flame.
• The correct positioning (alignment) of the flame sensor is decisive for a high availability
and achievable selecting quality
5.2.4 General information about ionisation flame monitoring
Observe the following items for ionisation flame monitoring:
• The functionally secure monitoring of a gas flame will be achieved when the flame monitoring is able to be optimally adapted according to the conditions of the gas-fired generation plant.
• Take into account that with the ionisation method, the flame and burner are also utilised
as part of the electrical conducting circuit for the formation of an optimal ionisation DC current, therefore, it is essential that the boiler and burner be grounded properly.
• Fuel, burner setting and the arrangement of electrodes are crucial for the amount of the
achievable ionisation DC current.
• The ionisation DC current also increases with the heating value of the gas. The requirement for the formation of optimal values is provided if "based on the setting of the burner":
– a "rigid" flame arises,
– the burner is operated with a low excess of air so that an optimal combustion arises.

5.2.5 Positioning of the ionisation electrode
Observe the following points when positioning the ionisation electrode (lance):
• Select a position so that the sensor electrode as well as the counter electrode (burner nozzle possibly with additional electrodes for increasing the effective area) remain in contact
with the flame in the entire control range of the burner.
• The sensor electrode should immerse into the hot part of the flame, however, the temperatures prevailing there should not exceed the lance specifications.
• To check the optimal electrode position, the ionisation DC current is measured via the
shunt measuring principle at X14 or the 0/4..20mA output on terminal X14. For further information, see chapter 4.3 Functional DescriptionFlame intensity output.

• The flame sensor is positioned according to the specifications from chapter 5.2.3 Aligning
the optical flame sensor5.2.5 Positioning of the ionisation electrode
• All electrical installations must have been tested.
• All terminal and plug-in connections must have been tested.
• The parameterization of the FFDT via the DIP switches was carried out according to chapter 4.5 Control Elements
NOTICE
Putting the device into operation
T o ensure a safe operation of the flame monitor , comply with the following sequence when
placing into operation for the first time:
• Switch off the burner
• Check the positioning of the flame sensor resp. the ionisation electrode again to make
sure it is correct. Take the information given in chapter 5.2.3 Aligning the optical flame
sensor5.2.5 Positioning of the ionisation electrode into account.
• Check the proper parameterization of the FFDT via the DIP switches, according to
chapter 4.5 Control Elements
• The ionisation current and the flame intensity can be determined at terminal X14. For further information, see chapter 4.3 Functional DescriptionFlame intensity output.
• The device is operationally ready approx. 10s after switching on the supply voltage. The
operational readiness is indicated by the LEDs, as described in chapter 4.3 Functional De-
scription.
• The F130l must signal "Flame off". To do this, observe LEDs and switch state of the flame
relay output at X11.
• Switch on burner and preferably bring to base load.
• Now position the ionisation electrode resp. the optical flame sensor optimally . A change of
the position can influence the monitoring properties of the flame monitor.
• The F130l must signal "Flame on". To do this, observe LEDs and switch state of the flame
relay output at X11. The flame intensity resp. the
ionisation current must also be checked. This must be stable over the entire working range
of the system.
• Switch-off test
Simulate the flame going out or "tearing off". To do this, shut off the fuel supply of the
burner being monitored by the flame sensor. Check that after the extinguishing of the
flame in the safety time parameterized according to chapter 4.5 Control Elements, the
25
