BURNER AND COMPONENT IDENTIFICATION FOR NDF TWO STAGE (HIGH/
LOW) BURNER (MODEL NDF35 SHOWN)
This manual has been produced to enable users to
install, commission and use NDF burners safely and
efficiently. At each stage, the conditions that should
be met and the adjustments and other actions that
should be carried out are detailed and the locations of the various components and adjustment
mechanisms are identified. Where appropriate, this
information is supported by tables and graphs. Literature on the proprietary components used in
NDF burner systems is available on request.
FEATURES
Developed through extensive field experience in
the UK and overseas markets, the NDF series of
dual fuel burners meets all current test authority
requirements in these markets and sets new standards in efficient and reliable operation.
NDF burners are designed for flange mounting to
the appliance front plate and they are delivered
ready to install with a pre-wired packaged control
system and plug-in gas train.
Burner Capacity
The figures quoted are nominal burner outputs
based on the gross calorific value.
Please refer to the Appendix of this handbook for
detailed burner performance data.
Fuel
Burners designated NDFL are suitable for light distillate oil (Class D) and those designated NDFR are
suitable for residual oils (Classes E, F and G). All
NDF burners are normally configured for natural
gas but versions suitable for liquefied petroleum
gas (LPG) or manufactured gas (towns gas) can be
supplied on request.
Models NDF35 to NDF150
Page 9
Page 10
Air Fan Size
To match NDF burners with the appliance, with
respect to both burner output and appliance resistance, a number of combustion air fan sizes are
available for each model as detailed in the table
below.
The fan size quoted is the diameter of the fan
impellor (measured in cm) and appears as a suffix
to the model number. For example, a burner designated NDFR60 - 34 is a model 60 for residual
fuel oil firing with a 34 cm diameter combustion
air fan impellor.
Controls and Safety Systems
NDF burners are fitted with a combustion airflow
control and an air/fuel ratio control system which
together ensure smooth starting and optimum operating efficiency.
An air pressure switch provides safe burner shutdown if the combustion air supply becomes insufficient for complete combustion. The burner's additional safety systems include for gas pressure
monitoring (low and high) whilst gas firing, and
low oil temperature monitoring (NDFR) whilst firing on fuel oil. Continuous flame supervision is
provided by an ultraviolet (UV) cell and automatic
programming control unit.
Operating Mode
Standard NDF burners are manufactured for either fully modulating or two-stage (high/low) operation on both fuels. A special variation of the
NDFL35 to NDFL100-38 burner is available upon
request, designated Modulating - High/Low. In this
version, the burner operates in fully modulating
mode when firing on gas, and 2 stage (high/low)
mode when firing on oil.
Oil Firing
Fully Modulating Operation
All NDF burners manufactured for fully modulating operation use a single spillback oil nozzle.
If the burner has been correctly matched to the
appliance, a turndown ratio of up to 3.0:1 may be
achieved.
Two Stage Operation
NDFL burners up to and including the NDFL100 38 use twin simplex oil nozzles, one for low fire
and both for high fire.
The oil nozzles are sized to give a turndown ratio
of between 1.8 and 2.0:1.
NDFL burners NDFL100 - 41 and larger, together
with all NDFR burners are supplied with a system
designated 'Sliding High/Low' which uses a single
spillback oil nozzle (similar to that employed in
the fully modulating mode) which is constrained
to operate at either of two fixed oil flows corresponding to the high and low fire rates. If the burner
has been correctly matched to the appliance, a
turndown ratio of up to 3.0:1 may be achieved.
Gas Firing - All Modes
When gas firing, the fuel gas flow is controlled by
an automatic valve which, following commissioning, precisely matches the fuel flow to the air flow
to achieve the required fuel/air ratio at any point
in the full turndown range. If the burner has been
correctly matched to the appliance, a turndown
ratio between 2.0 and 2.5:1 may be achieved.
Burner Type Nomenclature
NDF burners are divided into two groups, depending on the oil nozzle employed:
Twin Pressure Jet Burners
Comprising two stage NDFL burners up to
and including the NDFL100 - 38
Single Spill Back Burners
Comprising two stage NDFL burners
NDFL100 - 41 and larger,
all fully modulating NDFL burners,
all two stage NDFR burners,
all fully modulating NDFR burners.
Throughout this handbook the burners are referred
to by this grouping.
SITE CONDITIONS AND SERVICES
Flue and Chimney Requirements
It is important that:
Models NDF35 to NDF150Page 10
Page 11
-The flue pipe from the appliance and the joint
between this flue and the chimney are sealed
to prevent leakage of combustion products.
-The flue pipe from the appliance does not
protrude into the chimney beyond the inside wall.
-The top of the flue or chimney shall be higher
than any roof within a radius of 10 metres.
-Checks are made to ensure that the chimney is suitable for gas and oil fired appliances
and that the proposed installation complies
with all Local Authority and other regulations
covering such installations.
-The flue must be balanced at the appliance
outlet.
-If more than one appliance is connected to
a common flue or chimney, the cross-section of this flue or chimney should be adequate for the total volume of combustion
products from the appliances.
Plant Room Ventilation
The burner must be supplied with dust free air at
sufficient rates for all firing conditions, in accordance with the appropriate Standards.
Existing Appliances
The appliance should be prepared for installation
of the NDF burner by thorough cleaning, including the removal of all adhering tar, scale and dirt.
An inspection should also be carried out to ensure
that the appliance is in good condition. Any doubt
about the suitability of the appliance for dual fuel
firing should be referred to the appliance manufacturer.
Combustion Chamber Conditions
When the burner is fitted to an appliance designed
to work under balanced or negative combustion
chamber pressure conditions the over-fire draught
must not exceed 0.25 mbar.
It is essential that a 90∞ manual isolation valve is
fitted upstream of the gas control train to allow
the burner to be isolated for maintenance. The
size of this valve should not be less than that of the
burner control train in order to avoid any restriction in gas flow.
Gas Boosters
When a gas booster is used, the gas pressure at
the booster inlet must not fall below 10 mbar under any conditions. A low gas pressure switch must
be fitted on the upstream side of the booster to
prevent it starting if the supply pressure is insufficient.
An additional pressure switch should be used to
monitor the pressure downstream of the booster
and prevent the burner going to high fire if the
pressure is insufficient.
It should be noted that CE marked burners fitted
with a low gas pressure switch will not run if the
gas pressure from the booster is insufficient. This is
due to the low gas switch being set to safegaurd
combustion quality at the high fire setting. In this
situation the booster outlet pressure switch will
have no bearing on the burner control, but can be
used to indicate booster failure
The booster should be installed as near to the
burner as possible. It should be positioned on a
firm, flat, horizontal surface using anti-vibration
mountings. All connecting pipework should be well
supported and accurately positioned in order to
avoid stressing the booster casing. Flexible connectors, which reduce both pipework stresses and
transmitted noise, must be fitted. The gas supplier
should be asked to recommend the size of
pipework between the meter and the booster to
ensure that the required pressure and flow are
available.
Gas Supply
The gas supply pipework to the burner must be
appropriate to local conditions and must be constructed and installed in compliance with appropriate Codes and Standards. It shall be of sufficient
size to satisfy the pressure and volume flow requirements of the burner under all firing conditions. Checks should be made to ensure that all
meters and other components are appropriately
rated for the maximum gas flow rate anticipated.

Oil Supply
The oil supply pipework to the burner must be
appropriate to local conditions and must be constructed and installed in compliance with appropriate Codes and Standards. It shall be of sufficient
size to satisfy the pressure and volume flow requirements of the burner under all firing conditions. Checks should be made to ensure that all
meters and other components are appropriately
rated for the maximum oil flow rate anticipated.
Galvanised steel pipe should not be used. The supply pipework should include an appropriate filter.
The final connection to the oil pump inlet port
should be made using the flexible pipes supplied
with the burner.
NDFL burners may employ a pumped ring main
or a gravity feed oil supply system.
Where a gravity feed system is used it should be
designed and sized such that the oil pressure at
the pump inlet is not less than 350 mbar and not
more than 689 mbar. A two-pipe system must be
used. It is important to ensure that the return pipe
is not obstructed as this may result in damage to
the pump.
Where it is thought desirable, a pumped ring main
(refer to the schematic diagram on Page 12) of appropriate capacity may be used for NDFL burners
and such a system is essential where the burner is
to operate on residual oil (NDFR burners). The capacity of the ring main pump should be at least
1.25 times that of the burner pump(s) that it is required to supply. In the case of NDFR burners the
pipework and oil storage tank should be insulated,
trace heated and thermostatically controlled in accordance with the data shown in the table on Page
13.

INSTALLATION
General
Ensure that the appliance is suitable for the heat
input of the burner. If there is any doubt in this
area reference should be made to the appliance
manufacturer. Detailed burner performance data
are presented in the Appendix of this handbook.
Fitting to the Appliance
If the burner is to be fitted to a new appliance,
refer to the appliance manufacturer's recommendations.
Models NDF35 to NDF150Page 16
If the burner is to be fitted to an existing appliance, a mounting flange must be provided as detailed in the Section on Burner and Components
Identification. Ensure that the joint between the
burner and the mounting flange is sealed effectively using the gasket provided.
The flame tube should be flush with the inner face
of the appliance combustion chamber. Up to 10
mm protrusion may be acceptable (refer to the
appliance manufacturer) however it is not generally permissible for the flame tube to sit within the
appliance firing tunnel.
Page 17
Special extensions may be specified by the appliance manufacturer, for example in the case of a
reverse flame boiler.
Electrical Power Connection
Connect a three-phase, 50 Hz electrical supply to
the burner, observing all applicable Codes and
Standards. The electrical connections required are
shown in the wiring diagram contained in the instruction pack attached to the burner. These diagrams also show the external auxiliary control connections which must be made.
If the burner is supplied as part of a packaged appliance/burner unit, refer to the appliance manufacturer's instructions.
BURNER CONTROL AND OPERATION
All personnel concerned with commissioning and/
or operation of NDF burners should familiarise
themselves with the information presented in this
Section.
Single Spill Back Burners.
The single spill back burners employ a Landis &Staefa SQM 10 motor as shown on Page 19. This
motor activates the damper through an adjustable
cam and cable system, and is mounted above the
air inlet on all models.
Air Diffuser
The air diffuser is fitted to the front of the burner
assembly, within the flame tube (refer to the Appendix). This diffuser controls the combustion air
flow and creates a pressure drop across the burner
head, promoting good fuel/air mixing and flame
stability.
Air Pressure Switch
The air pressure switch is located on the left side
of the burner casing. Its function is to ensure that
combustion air flow is adequate under all operating conditions.
Air flow failure at any stage beyond the first few
seconds of the pre-purge sequence will result in
burner lockout.
Air Controls
Air Regulator
NDF 35-25 to NDF 100-38.
The flow of combustion air into the burner is controlled by a single adjustable air damper blade located within the air damper casting on the right
hand side (in all cases, such descriptions refer to
the system as viewed from the rear) of the burner.
NDF 100-41 to NDF 150-44.
The flow of combustion air into the burner is controlled by a multiple-aperture rotary type damper,
fitted to the burner casing within the air inlet silencer on the right hand side of the burner.
Air Damper Motor
In all cases, the air damper is controlled by a servomotor containing adjustable limit switches for
the low and high fire positions.
Twin Pressure Jet Burners.
On twin pressure jet burners a Berger Lahr STM 6
5 cam motor is used, as shown on Page 18. A fully
closed position is provided to prevent air flowing
through the appliance when the burner is not in
operation. On these burners the servomotor is
mounted on the rear face of the air inlet and directly coupled to the air damper blade.
Gas Controls
A typical gas train fitted is shown on Page 20.
Gas Nozzle
NDF burners utilise a spiked head design with
multiple gas tubes fitted with appropriately sized
gas restrictors. Referred to as the "gas nozzle" this
is fitted to the front of the burner assembly, within
the flame tube (refer to the Appendix). The number
and diameter of the gas tubes in this nozzle are
specified in accordance with the rating of the
burner and the gas to be used (refer to the table in
the Appendix).
High Gas Pressure Switch
A high gas pressure switch is fitted at the outlet of
the gas train to ensure that any increase in gas supply pressure above the level needed to maintain
the set conditions results in a safe burner shutdown.
In most cases, high gas pressure would indicate a
fault with the air/gas ratio controller.
The pressure switch, which is fitted with an illuminated fault indicator and manual reset button, is
factory set to the maximum value. Final adjustment
of the setting of this switch is described in the Section on Commissioning.

Low Gas Pressure Switch
Provision of a low gas pressure switch is required
by European Standard EN 676 - Automatic forced
draught burners for gaseous fuels. This pressure
switch is fitted to all burners which carry the CE
marking but it may not be fitted to non-CE marked
burners.
The low gas pressure switch monitors inlet gas pressure and ensures that any decrease in gas pressure
below the value needed to maintain satisfactory
combustion results in a safe burner shutdown. Final adjustment of the setting of this switch is described in the Section on Commissioning.
GAS CONTROL VALVE (SKP 70)
Gas Valve Train
In addition to the pressure switches noted above,
the gas control train includes an air/gas ratio controller, automatic safety shut-off valves and a governor in the start gas line. A manual isolation valve,
which must be fitted and wired during installation
at the inlet to the gas train, is electrically interlocked
to the burner control circuit. This valve must be in
the closed position when firing the burner on oil.
Models NDF35 to NDF150
Page 21
Page 22
SKP70 Air/Gas Ratio Controller
The air/gas ratio controller, shown on Page 21 varies the gas pressure in response to changes in combustion air pressure to ensure that the air/gas ratio
remains constant over the operating range of the
burner.
A separate gas pressure governor is not necessary.
Two impulse pipes (both factory supplied) are connected to the air/gas ratio controller.
The first is connected to the burner hinged extension and supplies air pressure to the ratio controller. Note that in installations with negative air pressure in the combustion chamber, this pipe must
always be under positive pressure. A second pipe
connected to the gas line downstream of the valve
set provides gas pressure to the ratio controller.
SKP70 combustion chamber impulse connection
The impulse connection to the combustion cham-
ber is not required in the majority of applications
and is therefore not supplied as part of the burner
package.
This is because the resistance of the combustion
chamber / flue assembly is assumed to remain constant and that the pressure within this chamber
will change in proportion to the burner gas and
combustion air pressure (as the burner output
changes).
If however the pressure in the combustion chamber does not change in proportion to the burner
gas or air pressure, i.e. the plant is fitted with a
flue gas fan, continuously operating flue gas damper
or the combustion chamber pressure changes from
negative to positive whilst moving from Low to High
flame, then a compensating circuit is required.
This means that the pressure in the combustion
chamber must be connected to the SKP70 so that
the controller can automatically offset the pressure changes.
This compensating circuit should also be used if
pressure shocks and vibrations, which adversely
affect burner start up, develop in the combustion
chamber during the start up phase.
Naturally, it must always be taken into consideration that the burner output decreases as the pressure in the combustion chamber increases, and
visa versa.
Installation of combustion chamber impulse pipe
A minimum inside pipe diameter of 8mm is rec-
ommended.
The impulse pipe should be as short as possible to
allow the controller to respond quickly to sudden
burner output changes. It must be installed such
that the gases will cool down in the area of the
impulse pipe and condensing gases will not enter
the controller but run back into the combustion
chamber. If necessary, a water trap must be provided.
Valve Proving System
Valve proving systems, as shown schematically on
Pages 23 and 24 are standard on all NDF burners
with maximum firing rates which exceed 1200 kW.
The standard model fitted is the Landis & Staefa
LDU 11 (see Page 23) but the Dungs VPS 504 (see
Page 24) is available as an option.
When the burner operating sequence is initiated,
the burner control box energises the proving system, which then carries out the following checks.
Landis & Staefa LDU11
The LDU11 control unit is designed to provide auto-
matic gas valve proving (leakage test) based on the
pressure proving principle.The system comprises the
control unit, which is fixed to a bracket / terminal
box assembly close to the main valve block, and a
dual pressure switch which is connected to the test
space between the main valves. The unit comes prewired as part of the gas train harness.
Gas valve proving is initiated automatically upon completion of the burner control circuit prior to burner
start up. The proving test is based on the 2-stage pressure proving principal. First, the main safety valve (V1)
on the upstream side of the gas circuit is tested by
evacuating the test space (via the pilot valve V3) and
by monitoring the atmospheric pressure in it, then
the valves (V2 and V3) on the burner side are tested
by pressurising the test space and monitoring the gas
pressure. If the pressure increases excessively during
the first test phase (TEST 1) or decreases excessively
during the second test phase (TEST 2), the control
unit inhibits burner start up and goes to lockout. The
lockout reset button lights up and signals a fault.
A programme indicator, which stops whenever a fault
is signalled, indicates which valve(s) set is leaking.
The control unit requires to be reset manually, either
on the unit itself or by a remote resetting if this has
been fitted.
Dungs VPS504
The VPS504 is a self-contained unit that operates on
the pressure build up principle. The unit is only suitable for use on valve line sizes up to and including 2"
(DN50).

VALVE PROVING SYSTEM : VPS 504
(Optional Fitting)
The programmer starts functioning when the burner
controlling circuit is made. With valves V1, V2 and
V3 in the closed position, an internal pump increases
the gas pressure within the test section to 20 mbar
above the pressure at the inlet to the valve train.
During the test time an integral differential pressure
switch monitors the test section for leaks. When the
test pressure is reached the pump is switched off. If
the proving check has been successful (max. 30 seconds) the control circuit is released accompanied by
illumination of the yellow indicator light on the unit.
Models NDF35 to NDF150Page 24
If the proving check has been unsuccessful or if a pressure rise of 20 mbar has not been reached during the
test time (max. 26 seconds), the unit will switch to
the fault condition accompanied by illumination of
the red indicator light. This condition will remain until
the unit is manually reset or the control circuit is broken.
Page 25
Oil Controls - Twin Pressure Jet Oil Burners
The oil control system used on NDFL burners with
twin pressure jet oil nozzles is shown on Page 25.
In addition to the oil pump it includes high and
low fire safety shut-off valves (normally closed type)
and a manually operated ball valve.
Oil Supply
Oil can be supplied from a two-pipe garvity system or from a two-pipe pumped ring main system. A two-pipe system is essential to enable oil
circulation through the oil pump during periods of
gas firing to ensure adequate lubrication. The oil
must be supplied and maintained at the temperatures and pressures given in the Table on Page 13.
Filter
The filter is usually supplied loose and must be
attached to the oil pump inlet prior to commissioning.
Oil Pump
The oil pump is mounted on the air inlet casing on
the right side of the burner. It is driven by the burner
motor through a flexible coupling.
When firing on gas for extended periods, it is recommended that this coupling is removed in order
to protect the pump from unnecessary wear.
Information on the pumps fitted to the NDF burner
range is given in the Table on Page 26.
The pumps are shown on Pages 27 -29.
Manual Valve
The manual valve is fitted with an electrical interlock to prove that the valve is in the closed position before the burner can be run on gas.
Oil Manifold Block
The oil manifold block is located below the burner
hinged extension. It connects the oil inner assembly to the external oil system.
Oil Nozzles
The two oil nozzles (high and low fire) are held in
a nozzle block located within the flame tube (refer
to the Appendix). The nozzles are pre-sized by Nuway in accordance with the heat inputs required
and the available operating pressure.
The oil nozzles are usually supplied in the instruction pack attached to the burner and must be fitted to the burner nozzle block prior to commissioning.

The oil control system comprises the burner
mounted components and a separate pumping unit
for distillate fuels or pumping/heating unit for residual fuels.The burner mounted components are
similar for both light and residual oils. The separate oil pumping or pumping/heating set is connected to the burner utilising the braided high
pressure hoses supplied. The burner lance incorporates hydraulic tip shut off for the oil nozzle whilst the system controlling valves are closely
FLUIDICS W1 NOZZLE
mounted at the burner head.
Schematics of the oil controls are shown on Page
30 for residual fuels and Page 31 for distillate fuels.
Details of the pumping/heating set (for residual fuels), including the mounting arrangement are
shown on Page 32. The pumping set for distillate
fuels is shown on Page 33.
Manual Valve
On NDFL burners, a manual valve is fitted with an
electrical interlock, which proves that the valve is
in the closed position before the burner can be
run on gas.
This valve is not fitted to NDFR burners due to the
continual heating and recirculating requirements
of residual oils.
Oil Nozzle
NDFL Modulating / NDFR burners use a single oil
nozzle (Page 26) within the inner assembly (refer
to the Appendix).
This nozzle is factory-specified to deliver optimum
performance under the specified operating conditions. Any queries regarding the size of the nozzle
should be referred to Nu-way.
The nozzle is held in position by the inner assembly lance, through which oil flows from the manifold block to the nozzle and is recirculated through
the spill regulating valve.
Oil Manifold Block
The oil manifold block is located on the left side of
the hinged extension. It carries gauges which indicate pump pressure, hydraulic pressure and spill
pressure.

Oil Spill Regulating Valve
The oil spill regulating valve is actuated by the motor which actuates the air damper. It varies the spill
pressure in order to provide the required oil flow
rate at each operating condition.
Oil Pump
The oil pump is incorporated into a free-standing
packaged unit as shown schematically on Pages
32 and 33. This package includes the oil filters, an
air separation bottle and in the case of NDFR burners the oil preheater tank (including a thermometer to indicate outlet oil temperature) and the
return thermostat which ensures that the
recirculating oil temperature is maintained at an
appropriate level during shutdown periods.
Information on the pumps fitted to the NDF burner
range is given in the Table on Page 26.
The pumps are shown on Pages 27 -29.
Dummy Oil Inner Assembly
For NDFR burners firing ëGí class fuel, a dummy
oil inner assembly is available as an option. This
enables the oil lance to be removed during extended periods of gas firing, with the dummy assembly replacing it.
This will enable the oil pumping and heating unit
to continue to keep the oil system up to temperature without danger of oil being released into the
appliance whilst firing the burner on gas.
Control Panel
Twin Pressure Jet Oil Burners
On NDFL 2 stage burners the programming burner
controller, ignition transformer, contactors and
other items are located in an enclosure mounted
on the left side of the burner.

Models NDF35 to NDF150Page 36
Single Spill Back Burners.
The Landis & Staefa LFL 1.333 (shown on Page
35) is fitted as standard.
Flame Monitor
In standard configuration, NDF burners are fitted
with a continuous flame supervision system which
uses an ultraviolet (UV) cell and amplifier (incorporated within the burner controller) to detect the
presence of the flame.
Modulating Controller
The Landis & Staefa RWF 32 (see Page 36) is fit-
ted as standard to all fully modulating burners.
Page 37
BURNER CONTROLLER SEQUENCE AND TIMING CHART
BURNER OPERATING SEQUENCE
The NDF burner operating sequence (refer to the
controller sequence diagram on Page 37 ) begins
with a pre-purge period on full air. When gas is
selected this fuel is then supplied to the burner at
start rate and ignition initiated. Start gas flame proving is followed by establishment of the main flame.
Models NDF35 to NDF150
When oil is selected, on completion of the prepurge period the appropriate oil valve or valves
open, ignition is initiated and the flame is established.
In both cases, the burner controller will then continue to its normal operating position and the operation of the burner will be controlled by the pressure and/or temperature requirements of the appliance.
Page 37
Page 38
MODULATING CONTROLS
Controller
The standard method of operation is based on the
Landis & Staefa RWF32 Universal Controller, which
has been designed for use in oil and gas fired installations, where it provides temperature or pressure control of modulating burners with continuously adjustable fuel throughput.
The control output of the RWF32 is a potential
free 3-position switch, which is used for the control of reversible motors. The control signals for
the open (Y1) and closed (Y2) are indicated on the
controller face by light emitting diodes.
Replaceable range insert circuit boards which are
used in conjunction with passive detectors of type
QAE22 (temperature) and QBE61 (pressure)
achieve configuration of the unit to a control value
and setting range.
When the boiler control calls for heat, the modulating servomotor will travel to the high flame position and interlock the control circuit. An air prepurge will take place at this position for a pre-determined period, at the end of which the burner
sequence controller will stop until the modulating
servomotor has travelled to the low flame position
and interlocked the control circuit again. The sequence controller will now recommence its operational cycle and the burner will light and remain at low flame until the high flame release signal is given by the sequence controller.
The modulating servomotor will now move to high
flame and remain at this position until the desired
boiler temperature/pressure is attained. From this
stage the modulating unit will commence to move
towards the low flame position, but, depending
on the temperature/pressure, will stop in any intermediate position between low and high flame.
Commissioning Controls
Two switches, Hand/Auto and Inching, are included in the burner panel. In Auto mode the
burner will respond to the demand of the boiler
via the RWF32 modulating controller. In ëHandí
mode, the RWF32 controller is disconnected from
the burner modulating servo. This servo can now
be 'inched' towards high or low flame by operating the 3 position bias inching switch, thus allowing combustion settings to be made at these points.
Whilst in ëHandí mode, care must be exercised
when the burner is in a high firing range so that
the boiler demand is not exceeded. It is imperative that the burner control circuit operating and
limiting instruments are fitted and functioning correctly.
Some panels may be fitted with a third switch marked
'Low Flame Hold'. This switch, when operated, has
the same effect as starting the burner in the 'Hand'
mode. That is, the burner will run through its starting
sequence, establishing flame at the low flame rate
and remaining at this state until manually commanded
otherwise. If the Low Flame Hold switch is activated
and the Hand/Auto switch is set in the Auto position,
releasing of the Low Flame Hold switch will result in
the Modulating Servo driving towards the high flame
position as determined by the RWF32 temperature
controller.
Temperature Detector
The immersion temperature detector type QAE22
is used in all hot water boiler applications. The
detector has a plastic casing to IP42 with a snap
on cover and an immersion stem. The connection
terminals can be accessed after removal of the
cover. Cable entry is made via a cable entry gland
Pg11. In all applications an immersion pocket with
a flat seal is supplied.
The detector should be installed in an elbow such
that the pocket points against the direction of flow.
With all detector versions, the immersion length
must be a minimum of 60mm.
Pressure Detector
The pressure detector type QBE61 is used in all
steam boiler applications. The detector has a plastic casing to IP42. It is necessary to mount the water trap pipe supplied.
General
The detector must not be covered by lagging.
Mounting instructions are printed on the packing.

COMMISSIONING : GENERAL
Safety
It is essential that commissioning shall be undertaken only by suitably qualified and experienced personnel. In the case of NDF burners,
commissioning engineers should be experienced
in commissioning forced draught oil and gas
burners.
In the UK, it is a legal requirement that anyone
working on gas installations, as defined in the
"Gas Safety (Installation And Use) Regulations
1994", is CORGI registered.
Nu-way can accept no responsibility for consequential loss, damage or injury which results
from a failure to follow the commissioning instructions provided or from commissioning procedures being undertaken by unqualified personnel.
In An Emergency
NDF burners are designed and constructed to
meet all essential requirements of the Gas Appliance Directive 90/396/EEC.
When used in accordance with the instructions
provided, NDF burners are unlikely to produce
a hazardous condition. If, however, such a condition should arise in connection with the burner,
the appliance or any instrument, machine or
service in the vicinity of the burner, the FUEL
AND ELECTRICITY SUPPLIES SHALL BE ISOLATED IMMEDIATELY and they shall remain isolated until the fault has been identified and rectified.
Inspection
Before commissioning is begun it is important to:
1Check that the electrical wiring is complete and
complies with all applicable Codes and Standards.
2Ensure that the fuses are fitted and of the cor-
rect ratings.
3Check electrical earthing.
4Verify that the gas and oil supply pipework is
correctly sized and that it has been checked
for leakage.
5Ensure that the manual gas isolation valve at
the inlet to the gas train and the ball valve on
the oil line are operable, fully closed and leak
tight.
6Make all personnel involved in the commis-
sioning aware of the location of the emergency
gas, oil and electricity isolation points.
7Check that fittings such as purge and test points
are available.
8Establish that the appliance is in an appropri-
ate and safe condition to be fired; for example, that there is water in the boiler.
9Set the appliance controls to call for heat. Check
the appliance's ventilation and flueing arrangements.
10Ensure that any warning notices appropriate to
the commissioning procedure are in position.
11Ensure that all necessary tools and test equip-
ment are available and ready for use.
Essential items include a manometer or other
approved pressure measuring instrument,
means (which may be permanently installed
or provided specifically for commissioning) of
measuring the flow rates of oil and gas, equipment for checking the smoke number of the
flue products and a means of analysing the flue
products for carbon dioxide (CO2), oxygen (O2)
and carbon monoxide (CO).
12Check that all relevant documentation is avail-
able, including, where appropriate:
-The agreed plant performance specification.
-Plant drawings and pipework layouts.
-Electrical logic and wiring diagrams.
-Certificates confirming satisfactory completion of procedures such as soundness
testing, purging and electrical safety tests.
-Commissioning, operating, emergency
shutdown and maintenance instructions
for the plant.
13Establish that the operation of plant other than
that being commissioned will not have an adverse effect on the operation of the plant to be
commissioned and similarly, that the operation
of the plant to be commissioned will not have
an adverse effect on other plant.
14Confirm that the operation of adjacent plant
and machinery will not constitute a hazard to
the personnel involved in commissioning.
Models NDF35 to NDF150

Initial Settings
To prepare the burner for commissioning on oil
and gas:
1Remove the cover from the air damper mo-
tor and check the cam positions referring to
the appropriate diagram shown on Page 18
or 19. Adjust if necessary.
2Remove the small plate on top of the gover-
nor section of the air/gas ratio controller.
Referring to the diagram on Page 21, set the
air/gas ratio on scale (1) to 0.8 by adjusting
screw (1), anti-clockwise to increase, clockwise to decrease. Set the ratio on the remaining scale to half a division on the positive
side of '0' by adjusting screw (2) in the same
way; anti-clockwise to increase, clockwise to
decrease.
3Remove the cap from the start gas governor
and set the adjusting screw approximately
half way between the maximum and minimum settings, turning the screw clockwise
to increase the setting and anti-clockwise to
decrease it. Replace the cap. Never adjust
the governor to its maximum setting.
4Check and if necessary re-set the ignition
electrode gaps to 2.5 to 3 mm. Access to the
burner head is explained on Page 52.
5Ensure that oil of the correct class is avail-
able at the required temperature (on NDFR
systems: refer to the table on Page 13) and
pressure.
IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT THE BURNER
SHOULD BE COMMISSIONED FOR OIL FIRING
IN THE FIRST INSTANCE. SHOULD OIL NOT BE
AVAILABLE TO THE BURNER THEN GAS COMMISSIONING CAN PROCEED ONLY IF THE
PUMP DRIVE COUPLING IS REMOVED FROM
THOSE BURNERS WHERE THE OIL PUMP IS
DRIVEN BY THE BURNER FAN MOTOR. IT MUST
BE NOTED IN ALL CASES THAT WHEN OIL IS
AVAILABLE TO THE BURNER THE UNIT MUST
BE RE-COMMISSIONED ON BOTH FUELS. NOTICE SHOULD BE MADE OF THIS FACT, BOTH
AT THE BURNER AND WITHIN THE BURNER
HANDBOOK AND APPLIANCE LOGBOOK.
COMMISSIONING : OIL
Burner Dry Run - Twin Pressure Jet Burners
(NDFL35-25 to 100-38 Two Stage (High/
Low))
The following procedure should be followed. It is
important that a complete and flawless dry run be
completed before fuel is supplied to the system.
1Check that the gas, oil and electrical power
supplies to the burner are turned off. Turn
the fuel selector switch on the control panel
to the oil position.
2Check that the manual gas isolation valve at
the inlet to the gas train is closed and that
the ball valve between the oil pump and fuel
valves in the burner oil line is open.
3Ensure that oil is available at the oil pump
on the burner at the required pressure and
class.
4Prime the oil pump by opening the bleed
port until air-free oil flows from it. The pump
should not be rotated automatically until it
has been primed as this may lead to premature wear or pump seizure.
5Open the panel door and set the burner to
low flame hold.
6Set the air pressure switch to minimum.
7Establish the electricity supply to the burner
and momentarily switch on the burner. Ob-
serve the rotation of the combustion air fan
motor, which should be anti-clockwise
viewed from the motor cowl end. If the di-
rection of rotation of the fan motor is incor-
rect, refer to the Section of this handbook
on Fault Finding.
8If the fan rotation is correct switch on the
burner.
9The burner motor will begin to run:
(a)Immediately if the system was switched
off during normal operation.
(b)On resetting the sequence control box
using the Off/On/Reset switch.
If at this stage the burner goes to lockout,
refer to the Section on Fault Finding.
10The burner will proceed through its pre-purge
and ignition sequences. Check that an igni-
tion spark is present. If there is no spark and
the burner goes to lockout, the air pressure
switch may be at fault - refer to the Section
on Fault Finding.
Models NDF35 to NDF150Page 40

11Allow the burner to light momentarily. Switch
off the burner and the electrical supply to
the burner.
12The burners safety systems have now been
proven on oil firing and commissioning can
proceed to the next stage.
Burner Live Run - Twin Pressure Jet Burners
(NDFL35-25 to 100-38 Two Stage (High/
Low))
The instructions in this section are presented as a
continuous sequence. No separate set of actions (for
example, checking the flame signal) should be followed in isolation without paying particular attention to any safety precautions such as isolating the
electrical supply to the burner which should precede
such actions. At all stages, the operation of the burner
should be checked against the programming controller sequence diagram on Page 37.
Setting Oil Flow Rates and Air/Fuel Ratios
From this point the oil commissioning process is concerned with setting the high and low fire oil flow rates
to appropriate values and ensuring that the combustion quality of the system is within acceptable limits.
During this process:
AFTER EACH ADJUSTMENT check the flue gas
analysis and oil flow rate.
ALWAYS use approved and calibrated test equipment.
NEVER rely on visual observation of the flame as
the only guide to combustion quality.
1Open the manual shut-off valve in the burner
oil line.
2Switch the burner on. Following the pre-purge
period the burner will initiate the ignition spark
and open the low fire oil valve.
3The flame will be established and the UV cell
will begin monitoring. The burner will operate
continuously at low fire.
4Check the oil pump pressure at the pump. Ini-
tially, set the pressure to 20.7 bar (300 psi). Observe the flame through the inspection window
at the rear of the burner casing to ensure the
flame is established around the outer edge of
the diffuser plate. A continuous halo should be
visible.
5The burner is fitted with a five cam air damper
servo (refer to the diagram on Page 18). Adjust
the low fire air control cam (cam 2) if necessary so that the appearance of the flame is satisfactory.
6Sample the flue products and check the smoke
number. Adjust the low flame air cam until a
clean, efficient flame is achieved.
7Switch off the burner. The flame should go out
immediately with the oil pressure gauge falling
to just above zero. Switch off the electrical supply to the burner.
8Open the control panel door and switch the
burner from low flame hold to normal run position. Re-secure the panel door.
9Establish the electrical supply and switch on
the burner. Allow the burner to proceed
through its operating sequence until it is operating on high fire.
10Observe that the flame is clear and steady with
a continuous halo visible around the diffusers
outer edge.
11Sample the flue products and check the smoke
number. Adjust the high flame air cam (cam 3)
until a clean and efficient flame is achieved.
12Check the oil flow rate. The appropriate low
fire rate is 55% (1.8:1 turndown) of the high
fire rate.
13Re-adjust the pump pressure if necessary to
correct the oil flow rate at high flame.
14The servomotor is fitted with 2 cams (refer to
the servomotor details on Page 18) which allow independent switching of the high flame
oil valve when moving from low to high flame
and vice-versa. These switches are factory set
but may be adjusted to improve the change
over characteristics if necessary.
15Analyse the flue products on both high and low
fire.
16Repeat the process of checking oil flow rate,
smoke number and flue product analysis until
satisfactory results are obtained at both high
and low fire.
17Switch off the burner and the electrical power
supply to the burner.
Burner Dry Run - Single Spill Back Burners
(NDFL Modulating / NDFR - All Models)
The following procedure should be followed. It is
important that a complete and flawless dry run be
completed before fuel is supplied to the system.
1Check that the gas, oil and electrical supplies
to the burner are turned off. Turn the fuel
selector switch on the control panel to the
oil position.
Models NDF35 to NDF150
Page 41
Page 42
2Check that the manual gas isolation valve at
the inlet to the gas train is closed. Do not
close the ball valve at the outlet of the oil
pumping set.
3Ensure that oil is available at the oil pump
on the burner at the required pressure and
class.
4NDFL Burners: Prime the oil pump by open-
ing the bleed port until air-free oil flows from
it. The pump should not be rotated automatically until it has been primed as this may lead
to premature wear or pump failure.
5NDFR Burners:
(a)Fill the oil pre-heater tank by removing
the hot oil filter retaining flange in the
outlet pocket on top of the tank. Fill to
the neck of the outlet with clean fuel
oil only.
(b)Check the pre-heater thermostat set-
tings, the recommended settings are
shown on Page 32.
6Switch on the electricity supply to the burner
and check that the pump rotation is correct
to the direction arrows shown on the pump
face.
7Open the manual isolation valve at the out-
let of the pumping set.
8Open the control panel door and set the
burner for low flame hold.
9Set the air pressure switch to minimum.
10Remove the access lid on the modulating cam
box unit.
11Switch on the burner at the control panel.
On NDFR burners a delay may be experi-
enced whilst the system attains temperature.
The modulating unit camshaft should now
rotate to the high flame setting, and the com-
bustion fan motor will start the air pre-purge
phase.
12Allow the fan motor to run up to speed and
switch off the burner. Observe the rotation
of the combustion air fan motor, which
should be anti-clockwise viewed from the
motor cowl end. If the direction of rotation
of the fan motor is incorrect, refer to the Sec-
tion of this handbook on Fault Finding.
13If the fan rotation is correct switch on the
burner.
14The burner will proceed through its pre-purge
and ignition sequences. Check that an ignition spark is present. If there is no spark and
the burner goes to lockout, the air pressure
switch may be at fault - refer to the Section
on Fault Finding.
15During this run note the spill and line oil pres-
sures at the point of ignition. Reset the sequence control and repeat the run if necessary to check these functions. If necessary,
adjust the line pressure at the burner pump
to 27.8 bar (400 psi) and the spill pressures
to the correct figures stamped on the burner
data plate.
16Allow the burner to light momentarily. Switch
off the burner and the electricity supply to
the burner.
17The burnerís safety systems have now been
proven on oil firing and commissioning can
proceed to the next stage.

MODULATING CAM BOX
Models NDF35 to NDF150
Page 43
Page 44
New NDF Modulating burners are generally supplied against the firing specification of the appliance. In this case the system and spill pressures
may be pre-set and require checking and minor
adjustments only. The following section describes
how to set up the modulating cam box unit from
the beginning. The modulating cam box is shown
on Page 43.
The modulating cam layshaft can be rotated by
hand by using the gearbox disengagement lever in
the drive servomotor.
1Ensure that the modulating cam arrangement
is in the low flame position. Adjust the oil
cam (refer to Page 43) so that it gives approximately 1.5mm throw (3mm stroke) and
lock in position.
2Check to ensure that the spill valve push rod
bears lightly against the oil cam (refer to Page
43).
3Turning to the air cam, rotate the thumb-
screws in or out so that they give a reasonable amount of adjustment in each direction.
Adjust the flexible cable (at either end if necessary) until the air inlet damper is fully closed
(i.e. until all the slack is taken up on the cable).
4Adjust the thumbscrews to give a small open-
ing of the air damper at low flame.
5Reset the sequence control and allow the
burner to start. Immediately the burner starts,
switch the Hand/Auto selector switch to the
'Hand' position and hold low flame until the
appliance is ready to accept high flame. During this period, check and adjust the low
flame oil throughput.
6Observe the flame through the inspection
window at the rear of the burner casing to
ensure the flame is established around the
outer edge of the diffuser plate. A continuous halo should be visible. If the flame is dirty,
adjust the air cam thumbscrews until the
flame becomes clean.
7After a suitable delay, inch the camshaft to
the high flame position (i.e. through 180∞)
by means of the inching switch on the control panel. Adjust the air cam profile by means
of the thumbscrews until the air damper is
now fully open. At this stage it will be found
that all of the thumbscrews between low and
high position will require adjusting so as to
avoid over stressing the cam profile band.
Once this has been done, there should be a
fairly smooth profile between low and high
flame positions.
8Ensure that the flame is visually clean
throughout the modulation range at all times.
9Check the oil consumption. If this is not cor-
rect for the full burner rating, the oil cam
must be adjusted as follows: -
(a)Inch the burner to low flame and note
the spill pressure.
(b)To increase the minimum rate, adjust
as shown on Page 43.
(c)Adjust the cam to give more eccentric-
ity for more oil at high flame, and viceversa.
(d)Return to the minimum setting and
compensate for any changes.
(e)Inch the burner to high flame and again
check the oil flow.
Continue to repeat (a) to (d) until the high
flame oil rate is correct.
10When a satisfactory flame is achieved, again
check the line and spill pressures. Check the
pre-heater temperature (if fitted) and adjust
if necessary.
11Inch the camshaft back to the low flame po-
sition. The oil consumption rate should now
be between 40 and 50% of the rated maximum.
12Sample the flue products and check the
smoke number. Adjust the combustion air
volume as necessary.
13Check the burner performance throughout
the range adjusting the air cam profile as
necessary to give a clean and efficient flame.
When a satisfactory setting has been
achieved, lock the air cam thumbscrews with
the grubscrews fitted in the side face of the
cam body. Refit the modulating cam unit access cover.
14Switch off the burner and the electricity sup-
ply to the burner.

COMMISSIONING : GAS
Burner Dry Run - NDFL/R All Models
The following procedure should be followed. It is
important that a complete and flawless dry run be
completed before fuel is supplied to the system.
IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT THE BURNER
SHOULD BE COMMISSIONED FOR OIL FIRING
IN THE FIRST INSTANCE. SHOULD OIL NOT BE
AVAILABLE TO THE BURNER THEN GAS COMMISSIONING CAN PROCEED ONLY IF THE

BE NOTED IN ALL CASES THAT WHEN OIL IS
AVAILABLE TO THE BURNER THE UNIT MUST
BE RE-COMMISSIONED ON BOTH FUELS. NOTICE SHOULD BE MADE OF THIS FACT, BOTH
AT THE BURNER AND WITHIN THE BURNER
HANDBOOK AND APPLIANCE LOGBOOK.
Important Note Regarding Combustion Air Settings: -
IF THE BURNER HAS ALREADY BEEN COMMISSIONED ON OIL, THE COMBUSTION AIR SETTING MUST NOT BE RE-ADJUSTED. THE GAS
RATE MUST BE MATCHED TO THE EXISTING
SETTINGS.
NDFR firing ëGí fuel
1Check that the gas, oil and electrical power
supplies to the burner are turned off. Turn
the fuel selector switch on the control panel
to the gas position.
2Check that the manual gas isolation valve at
the inlet to the gas train and the ball valve in
the oil line (NDFL) are closed.
3On NDFR burners firing class 'G' fuel, if the
dummy inner assembly is to be used (see Page
29), open the hinged extension and remove
the oil lance from the gas inner assembly. The
lance and nozzle should be flushed through
with clean class 'D' oil immediately to prevent blockage by the cooling fuel oil.
Fit the three port dummy inner assembly
manifold supplied as an option. This will enable the oil pumping and heating unit to continue to keep the oil system up to temperature without danger of oil being released into
the appliance whilst firing the burner on gas.
Fit the inner assembly plug to the back of the
gas inner assembly. This maintains the cross
sectional area of the annular air passage
within the primary air tube, as if the oil lance
is fitted.
4Check that the gas pipework between the
plant isolation valve and the safety shut-off
valves has been tested for soundness and
purged in accordance with an appropriate
Procedure, for example IGE/UP/1 ëSoundness
testing and purging on industrial and commercial premisesí.
5Open the control panel cover and set the
burner for low flame hold. (On modulating
burners not fitted with a low flame hold
switch, set the Hand/Auto switch to the
ëHandí position).
6If a gas booster is fitted, ensure that it is turned
on.
7Remove the cover from the low gas pressure
switch and fit a temporary link between ter-
minals 2 and 3. Replace the cover.
8Set the air pressure switch to minimum.
9Establish the electrical supply to the burner
and momentarily switch on the burner. Ob-
serve the rotation of the combustion air fan
motor, which should be anti-clockwise
viewed from the motor end. If the direction
of rotation of the fan motor is incorrect refer
to the Section of this handbook on Fault Find-
ing.
10If the fan rotation is correct switch on the
burner.
11The burner motor will begin to run:
(a)Immediately if the system was switched
off during normal operation.
(b)On pressing the reset button on the
control box.
If at this stage the burner goes to lockout,
refer to the Section on Fault Finding.
12The burner will proceed through its ignition
sequence. Check that an ignition spark is
present. If there is no spark and the burner
goes to lockout the air pressure switch may
require adjustment - refer to the Section on
Fault Finding.
13The ignition spark will cease and the system
will go to lockout. Switch off the burner and
the electrical power supply to the burner.

14Switch off the gas booster (if fitted). Remove
the temporary link fitted to the low gas pressure switch and replace the cover.
15The burner's safety systems have now been
proven and commissioning can proceed to
the next stage.
Burner Live Run - NDFL/R All Models
General
The instructions in this section are presented as a
continuous sequence. No separate set of actions
(for example, checking the flame signal) should be
followed in isolation without paying particular attention to any safety precautions such as isolating
the electrical supply to the burner which should
precede such actions. At all stages, the operation
of the burner should be checked against the programming controller sequence diagram on Page
37.
Before proceeding, check again that:
1The electrical wiring is complete and com-
plies with all relevant Codes and Standards.
2All fuses are fitted and are of the correct rat-
ings.
3The gas and oil supply pipework is correctly
installed and has been leak tested. If, at any
time during commissioning, there is a SMELL
OF GAS the gas and electricity supplies must
be isolated and the leak sealed before proceeding.
4The appliance is in an appropriate and safe
condition to be fired.
5The appliance controls are set to call for heat.
Selecting Gas
1Ensure that the ball valve in the oil line is
closed.
2Turn the fuel selector switch on the control
panel to the gas position.
Gas Supply Pressure
The supply pressure at the inlet to the burner shall
not be less than that required for the maximum
required continuous output from the burner, and
not more than 100 mbar (up to NDF100-38) or
200 mbar (NDF100-41 and upwards). Refer to the
gas inlet pressure graphs (running pressures) contained in the appendix of this handbook. Before
proceeding with commissioning:
1Fit a manometer or other approved pressure
measuring instrument to the pressure test
point on the upstream side of the first safety
shut-off valve.
2Open the manual gas isolation valve at the
inlet to the gas train.
3Check that the gas pressure is adequate.
Establishing the Start Gas Flame
1Remove the control panel cover and remove
the pilot check link. Replace the cover.
2Establish the electrical supply to the burner
and switch on the burner.
3The burner controller will run through its se-
quence, initiating the ignition spark and
opening the start gas safety shut-off valve.
4The start gas flame will be established and
the UV cell will begin monitoring. The burner
will operate continuously at start gas rate. If
the burner goes to lockout, increase the start
gas rate slightly at the governor and reset the
burner.
5Confirm the leak tightness of the pipework
downstream of the start gas safety shut-off
valve using a proprietary detection fluid.
6Switch off the burner. Switch on the burner
and allow the ignition sequence to be repeated, confirming that the start gas flame is
reliable.
7Switch off the burner and the electrical power
supply to the burner. Remove the control
panel cover and replace the pilot check link.
Replace the cover.
Setting Main Flame Rates and Air/Gas Ratios
From this point the gas commissioning process is
concerned with setting the main and start gas flow
rates to appropriate values and ensuring that the
combustion quality of the system is within acceptable limits. During this process:
AFTER EACH ADJUSTMENT check the flue gas
analysis and gas flow rate.
ALWAYS use approved and calibrated test equipment.
NEVER rely on visual observation of the flame
as the only guide to combustion quality.
Models NDF35 to NDF150Page 46
Page 47
1Fit a manometer or other approved pressure
measuring instrument to the gas pressure test
point nearest to the burner head. The relationship between the pressure at this point
and burner heat input is shown in the graphs
in the Appendix. This information is provided
only as a guide and it should not be used in
conjunction with pressure measurements as
a substitute for accurate measurement of gas
flow rate using, for example, a gas meter.
2Ensure that the flue gas analysis equipment
is functioning.
3Close the manual gas isolation valve at the
inlet to the gas train to an opening of approximately 20%.
4Set the gas inlet pressure switch to its mini-
mum value.
5With the burner set for low flame hold (hand
operation), re-establish the electrical supply
and switch on the burner.
6The burner controller will run through its se-
quence, initiating the ignition spark and
opening the start gas safety shut-off valve. The
start gas flame will be established and the
UV cell will begin monitoring.
7The main gas control valve will open and low
fire will be established. Open the upstream
manual valve slowly until it is fully open,
observing the CO level.
8If the CO level is too high (see below) reset
the low fire adjusting screw (2) on the air/gas
ratio controller (refer to the diagram on Page
21) until an acceptable figure is achieved. In
extreme cases the adjustment on screw (2)
may be exhausted without achieving an acceptable CO level. In this event, reset the
high fire adjusting screw (1) until an acceptable CO level is achieved.
9Confirm the leak tightness of the pipework
downstream of the main gas safety shut-off
valve using a proprietary detection fluid.
10Switch off the burner and the electrical power
supply to the burner.
11Open the control panel cover and switch the
burner from low flame hold to normal run
position. On modulating and sliding high/low
burners select the ëAutoí position of the Hand/
Auto switch. Close the cover.
12Establish the electrical supply to the burner
and switch on the burner. The burner con-
troller will run through its sequence. Low fire
will be established, expanding to main flame.
Monitor the flame visually during the transi-
tion from low to high fire. If the flame be-
comes more intense and compact this indi-
cates an excess of combustion air. If the flame
becomes large and shapeless, this indicates
an excess of fuel. Either condition is accept-
able at this stage provided that the flame is
stable and the commissioning process con-
tinues immediately. If in doubt, switch off the
burner and adjust screw (1) on the air/gas
ratio controller appropriately before restart-
ing the burner.
13With the burner running on high fire, meas-
ure the flue CO2 level and adjust screw (1) to
bring the level to an acceptable level. Note
that at this stage the burner may be overfiring
the appliance and producing excessively high
levels of CO. Check the level of O2 to con-
firm the CO2 reading.
14Set the burner for low flame hold (ëHandí
operation) and switch on the burner. Allow
the burner controller to run through its cycle
until the burner is running on low fire.
15Adjust the low fire adjusting screw (2) to bring
the CO2 level to an acceptable level.
16Changing the low fire setting on the air/gas
ratio controller will have a slight effect on
the high fire setting. It may therefore be nec-
essary to repeat steps 13 to 15 several times
in order to achieve acceptable levels of CO
at both firing rates.
17With the burner running on high fire, check
the gas flow rate with an appropriate instru-
ment, ensuring that the instrument has been
calibrated before use. If the flow rate is to be
measured using the main site gas meter or a
supplementary meter ensure that all other
gas appliances served by that meter are iso-
lated.
2
Models NDF35 to NDF150
Page 47
Page 48
18Check the gas flow rate with the burner run-
ning on low fire. The appropriate low fire
rate is governed by the low fire combustion
air setting achieved during the oil commissioning phase. The turndown between high
and low fire should therefore mirror the figure achieved during this phase. If oil is unavailable and the burner is commissioned for
gas firing only, then the gas rate can be adjusted by varying the low and high fire positions of the air damper. In this case care
should be taken not to exceed the limits of
the burner performance envelope shown in
the Appendix.
19Analyse the flue products on both high and
low fire.
Setting the Start Gas rate
Warning: Extended firing on start gas rate only can lead to
a build up of volatile gases within the appliance
combustion chamber. Running should be kept
to a maximum of 5 MINUTES ONLY.
1Switch off the burner and the electrical power
supply to the burner.
2Remove the control panel cover and remove
the pilot check link. Replace the cover.
3Establish the electrical supply to the burner
and switch on the burner. Allow the burner
to light and establish the start gas flame.
4Check the gas flow rate. The appropriate set-
ting is usually found between 25 and 30% of
the main flame gas rate. The start gas rate
must never be set at a level higher than 33%.
5If it is necessary to adjust the start gas rate,
turn the adjusting screw in the start gas pressure governor clockwise to increase the gas
rate and anti-clockwise to reduce it. Make
small adjustments and check the gas rate after each change.
6Switch off the burner and the electrical power
supply to the burner. Remove the control
panel cover and replace the pilot check link.
Replace the cover.
Setting the High Gas Pressure Switch
1Remove the cover from the high gas pres-
sure switch.
2Establish the electrical supply to the burner
and switch on the burner. Allow the burner
to proceed through its operating sequence
until it is operating on high fire.
3Turn the adjusting dial on the pressure switch
anti-clockwise slowly until the switch trips,
causing the pressure switch indicating light
to be illuminated and the burner to shut
down.
4Turn the adjusting dial approximately 20%
clockwise.
5Refit the cover and reset the pressure switch
by pressing the button on the cover. The
burner will restart.
Setting the Low Gas Pressure Switch
1Switch off the burner and the electrical power
supply to the burner.
2Remove the cover from the low gas pressure
switch.
3Establish the electrical supply to the burner
and switch on the burner. Allow the burner
to proceed through its operating sequence
until it is operating on high fire.
4Turn the adjusting dial on the pressure switch
clockwise slowly until the switch trips, causing the burner to shut down. Turn the adjusting dial anti-clockwise slowly until the
burner restarts and main flame is established.
FINAL COMMISSIONING STAGES - OIL
AND GAS
Checking the Flame Signal
1Remove the control panel cover and discon-
nect the flame signal check link.
2Connect a DC micro-ammeter across the ter-
minals.
3Establish the electrical supply to the burner
and switch on the burner. Allow the burner
to light and operate normally.
4Observe the reading on the ammeter at all
firing levels including start gas. A steady reading in excess of 7 microamps is satisfactory.
Lower readings may cause intermittent
burner lockout and indicate a need for adjustment of the burner settings - refer to the
Section on Fault Finding.
5Switch off the burner and the electrical power
supply to the burner. Disconnect the ammeter and replace the flame signal check link.
Replace the control panel cover.
Setting the Air Pressure Switch
1Remove the air pressure switch cover.
Models NDF35 to NDF150Page 48
Page 49
2Fit a manometer or other approved pressure
measuring instrument to the pressure switch
to enable a comparison to be made between
the pressure switch indicator and the measured pressure.
3Remove the control panel cover and remove
the low fire hold link. Replace the cover.
4Establish the electrical supply to the burner
and switch on the burner. Allow the burner
to proceed through its sequence until it is
operating on low fire.
5Increase the pressure switch setting slowly
until the flame is extinguished and the burner
goes to lockout.
6Turn the dial down one division and reset
the burner. If lockout occurs again, turn the
dial down a further division and reset the
burner. Repeat this process until the burner
lights and runs satisfactorily.
7Turn the adjusting dial down a further two
divisions.
8Switch off the burner and the electrical power
supply to the burner. Remove the manometer. Replace the pressure switch cover.
9Remove the control panel cover and replace
the low fire hold link. Replace the cover.
Modulating Control : Landis & Staefa
RWF32
The RWF32 controller has been specifically designed for the control of boiler temperature or
steam pressure in oil and gas fired plant.
The unit is normally mounted in the side face of
the burner panel and is protected by a clear plastic cover, which can be swung downwards for access to the setting controls.
By using the appropriate setting range insert, the
controller is configured for a controlling value and
required setting range. This setting range insert
forms part of a measuring bridge on the detector
side and also carries the setting scale. The setting
unit itself is an integral part of the controller.
In addition to the setpoint slider, further setting
controls are located beneath the silver fascia plate
situated above the digital display unit. All the settings can be adjusted whilst the burner is in operation.
Three LEDs indicate the following operational status: -
Control ON/OFF (0-1)
Control Pulse OPEN (II) / CLOSED (I)
The digital display below the LEDs gives the set
value / actual value deviation as a percentage of
the inserts setting range up to +/- 19%. Measuring
and display takes place at 2 second and intervals
and in 1% steps.
Settings : General
The setting slider should be adjusted to the setpoint
temperature or pressure.
Before and during adjustments : 1Write down the setting values found on the
controller units supplied.
2Alter only one parameter at a time (i.e. do
not alter Xp, Tv and Tn at the same time).
3Make corrections in small steps only.
4Make further adjustments only after the pre-
vious adjustment has produced a clear reac-
tion.
An increase in the parameter Xp produces greater
control stability but slows down the system response to load or setpoint changes.
A decrease in the parameter Xp improves the systems response to load changes, but the control stability may suffer i.e. control oscillations may occur.
Commissioning of the plant will be considerably
simplified and accelerated when, during the setting operations, the load conditions can be kept
fairly constant, thus making it easier to recognise
clearly the control system's response to load or
setpoint changes.
For most general applications we recommend the
settings listed in the table on Page 36. However
should these settings not prove to be sufficient then
the following procedures can be carried out.
Adjustments in the case of a slow correcting
response
Reduce the set values in a stepwise fashion, allowing the system time to settle before making further
adjustments. Firstly reduce only Xp (down to 5%).
If this is not satisfactory then reduce Tv (down to
0) and finally Tn.
Adjustments in the case of an excessively fast
correcting response
Usually in connection with control oscillations, the
selected set values should be increased in a
stepwise fashion, again allowing the system to stabilise before proceeding further. Firstly increase Xp,
then Tv (up to approximately 3) and finally Tn until
stability is reached.

Final Checks
1Check that all covers have been replaced and
that all locking devices are secure.
2Check the operation of the appliance con-
trol instruments and safety interlocks.
3Ensure that the appliance safety controls and
any other interlocks are set to safe limits.
4COMMISSIONING IS NOW COMPLETE.
5Establish the electrical supply to the burner
and switch on the burner. Allow the burner
to proceed through its operating sequence
until it is operating on high fire. The burner
will now operate normally until:
(a)It is switched off by the appliance con-
trols.
(b)It is switched off manually.
(c)There is an electrical power failure. In
this event the burner will restart and
run normally when power is restored.
No manual intervention is required.
On Completing Commissioning

has been operating on oil for a prolonged
period it may be necessary to purge the gas
line of air.
ROUTINE SAFETY CHECKS
THESE CHECKS SHOULD BE CARRIED OUT
ONLY BY APPROPRIATELY QUALIFIED AND EXPERIENCED PERSONNEL
Combustion Air
Check that the plant room is well ventilated at all
times and inspect the burner air inlet frequently to
ensure that there is no obstruction to the air flow.
1Remove the UV cell from the burner casing
and cover the quartz glass envelope to exclude light. Care should be taken not to touch
the glass.
2Establish the electrical supply to the burner
and switch on the burner. The burner should
go to lockout at the end of the ignition cycle.
3Switch off the burner and the electrical power
supply to the burner. Replace the UV cell.
Establish the electrical supply to the burner
and switch on the burner. Reset the lockout.
Valve Proving System (If Fitted)
1Introduce a gas leak by slackening the screw
in the pressure test point between the main
valves.
2Switch on the electrical supply to the burner
and the burner itself. The valve proving system should lock out through failing gas pressure as the burner runs through its start cycle.
3Re-tighten the screw in the pressure test point
and reset the lockout button on the valve
proving system.
ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
ALWAYS SWITCH OFF THE ELECTRICAL POWER
AND FUEL SUPPLIES TO THE BURNER BEFORE
CARRYING OUT MAINTENANCE.
Combustion Air Fan - All Models
Remove the burner top cover to gain access to the
combustion air fan. Clean the fan blades with a
stiff brush, taking care not to damage them. Inspect the burner air inlet frequently and ensure
that there is no obstruction to the air flow.
Replacing The Air/Gas Ratio Controller - All
Models
If mechanical or electrical failure necessitates replacement of the air/gas ratio controller, the burner
must be recommissioned to ensure that it is returned to the correct combustion and throughput
settings. Replacement of the air/gas ratio controller and the subsequent recommissioning shall be
undertaken only by appropriately qualified and
experienced personnel.

Disconnect the ignition leads. Remove the two
screws which secure the oil manifold within the
hinged extension. Remove the four bolts which
locate the inner assembly and withdraw the assembly, taking care not to damage it. Clean the air
diffuser and gas nozzle with a stiff brush. Clean
and reset the ignition electrodes and check that
they are not cracked or worn. Renew the electrodes if necessary. Remove the oil gun, complete
with nozzle, from the centre of the inner assembly. Remove the nozzle from the gun and wash it
in a suitable solvent, removing any remaining deposits with a clean, lint-free cloth. The oil nozzle
should be replaced after 5000 hours operation.
Reverse the order of actions detailed above to replace the inner assembly and prepare the burner
for normal operation.
Oil Filters - NDFL
If the filter fitted in the oil supply line has a disposable element this should be replaced at least once
a year, more frequently if this is dictated by the
condition of the fuel or other local conditions. If
the filter element is re-usable it should be cleaned
at appropriate intervals.
After filter cleaning operations it will be necessary
to remove air from the system by bleeding the
pump.
Oil Filters - NDFR
The oil filter located on top of the preheater should
be removed and cleaned in paraffin or another
suitable solvent.
SAFETY WARNING : CLASS ëGí OIL BURNERS
OPERATE WITH OIL AT 140∞C FOR ATOMISA-
TION. THE BURNER SYSTEM SHOULD BE
TAKEN OFF LINE AND ALLOWED TO COOL
BEFORE ATTEMPTING THESE TASKS.
In the case of the cold oil filter, remove the plug
from the sump and drain off any sludge and/or
water present at six-weekly intervals. The cleaning
knob on this filter should be rotated daily. If the
filter fitted in the oil supply line has a disposable
element this should be replaced at least once a
year, more frequently if this is dictated by the condition of the fuel or other local conditions. If the
filter element is re-usable it should be cleaned at
appropriate intervals. After filter cleaning operations it will be necessary to remove air from the
system by bleeding the pump.
Oil Preheater - NDFR Only
Regular checks should be made to ensure that the
oil temperature is maintained at the correct level
(refer to the table on Page 13).
FAULT FINDING
Any changes made in control settings as a result
of identifying and remedying fault conditions as
described below may necessitate partial or complete recommissioning. Recommissioning shall
be undertaken only by appropriately qualified
and experienced personnel.

Start Flame Failure
Failure of the start rate flame will produce lockout.
Confirm start flame failure by checking the flame
signal at the appropriate stage. If the flame signal
is low, the cause may be:
1A dirty or wrongly positioned (it must face
towards the flame) glass envelope on the UV
cell.
2A fault in the UV cell or its wiring - check
and replace if necessary.
3The flame signal check link has been re-
moved - check and replace.
4There is insufficient fuel under ignition con-
ditions to allow the flame to be detected
adequately - adjust the flow rate.
5Partial blockage of the oil nozzle - check and
clean if necessary.
6Carbon on the air diffuser - check and clean
if necessary.
Incorrect Rotation Of Burner Motor
The motor should rotate anti-clockwise as viewed
from the motor end. If the direction of rotation is
incorrect interchange two phases in the threephase power supply. If this does not correct the
direction of rotation the motor should be renewed.
If it is necessary to change this motor or the combustion air fan the following procedure should be
followed:
