PF3100 MODULE FAMILY

INTRODUCTION

The PF3100 burner management system consists of individual building blocks called modules which can be mixed and matched to form a complete solution. Each module performs a speciﬁc function and is intended to be installed close to the device they are measuring or controlling. This simpliﬁes wiring and reduces issues with noise and signal loss compared to centralized control systems. This also allows the user to purchase only the modules which are necessary for a given application. The modules interact with one another using a network based communication method to perform a given task safely.

FEATURES

• Can view the status of other modules through the PFRN network from the UI Module

• Multiple UIs can show the same info on each screen

• Able to mount the UI away from the burner

• Simple indication of overall status through LEDs allowing end-users to check statuses from afar

• UI’s LCD screen shows statuses of overall system, individual modules, and groups of modules

• Numeric keypad is on the UIX enclosure for easy data entry

• Data logging and ﬁeld ﬁrmware updates

• BMS modules in BMS enclosures can be placed near the burner housing away from the UI interface

• BMS Controller cards provide power to other modules through PFRN ports

• Network cards allow for connections to many other modules to form a single communication network

MOUNTING CONSIDERATIONS

Orientation

The UIX, CTX, and AUX enclosures should be mounted upright. The EPX and TLX enclosures can be mounted in whichever direction makes sense for

the application.

Location

1. The UI Module is typically mounted in an operator-safe, easily accessible area. The recommended mounting height is 1.5m (5ft) above where the operator will be standing for ease of use. If there is a BMS card in the UIX enclosure with the UI card, then you will need to adjust the location accordingly.

2. Mount any BMS enclosures near the corresponding valve train.

3. The Thermocouple card is included inside of a head connection (TLX enclosure) with a thermocouple probe. The Type K Temperature module comes ready to install into the thermowells of each tank. Install in a Div 1 rated thermowell.

4. The Ion Pilot module should be located within 50 feet of the pilot it is igniting.

5. The Network and Modbus cards will typically be mounted inside of a UIX, CTX, and AUX enclosure. Must be within max PFRN run length of 250 ft.

HAZARDOUS LOCATION MOUNTING

In order to maintain the hazardous location rating for the EPX Enclosure, the following conditions must be met.

The EPX Enclosure lid must be tightened down until it is ﬂush with the base. The locking screw must be installed into the base.

Each unused base port must be sealed with pipe plugs. Use our plugs or ﬁgure out appropriately rated plugs that are equivalent.

Any base ports in use must be sealed within 18 inches of the EPX Enclosure. All ﬁttings must have at least 5 threads of engagement.

INSTALLATION WARNINGS

Before installing the PF3100, please review the following list of warnings.

Failure to observe the following may result in death, electrocution, property damage, product damage, and/or government ﬁnes.

1. For burners greater than 12.5 MMBtuh, additional modules may be required for use with the PF3100 system.

2. It is recommended that the low ﬁre feature be used with anything above 1 MMBtuh. To use the PF3100 on burners greater than 5 MMBtuh, the Proof of Closure feature must be used.

3. Failure to properly ground the pilot assembly back to the PF3100’s Ion terminal may result in accidental electrocution, product damage, or failure to ignite the pilot.

4. The PF3100 generates 20kV - 40kV at its high voltage output terminal which can cause cardiac arrest. Do not touch or place any object near the ignition coil’s high voltage terminal or connected ignition wire while the product is operating. Even without making physical contact with the terminal, it is possible to draw a spark from several inches away, especially if the pilot bracket is not properly grounded.

5. Make sure that the PF3100 enclosures are securely closed each time after opening the enclosure. This protects the internal circuitry from moisture damage and other environmental concerns. Moisture damage is not covered by the product warranty if the door has been left open.
