Warning notes
Mounting notes
Installation notes
To avoid injury to persons, damage to property or the environment, the following
warning notes should be observed!
Do not open, interfere with or modify the unit!
•All activities (mounting, installation and service work, etc.) must be performed by
qualified staff
•Before making any wiring changes in the connection area of the LOA..., completely
isolate the unit from the mains supply (all-polar disconnection)
• Ensure protection against electric shock hazard by providing adequate protection
for the burner control’s connection terminals
•Each time work has been carried out (mounting, installation, service work, etc.),
check to ensure that wiring is in an orderly state and make the safety checks as indicated in «Commissioning notes» above
•Press the lockout reset button / operating button only manually (applying a force of
no more than 60 N), without using any tools or pointed objects
•Fall or shock can adversely affect the safety functions. Such units must not be put
into operation, even if they do not exhibit any damage
• Ensure that the relevant national safety regulations are complied with
• Do not mix up live and neutral conductors
• Always run high-voltage ignition cables separately while observing the greatest
possible distance to the unit and to other cables
• Install switches, fuses, earthing, etc., in compliance with local regulations
• Ensure that the maximum permissible amperages will not be exceeded (refer to
«Technical data»)
Electrical connection of flame detectors
It is important to achieve practically disturbance- and loss-free signal transmission:
•Never run the detector cable together with other cables
– Line capacitance reduces the magnitude of the flame signal
– Use a separate cable
•Observe the permissible lengths of the flame detector cables (refer to Data Sheets
N7714 (QRB...) and N7716 (QRC...))
Commissioning notes
• When commissioning the plant, when carrying out maintenance work, or after
longer off periods, make the following safety checks:
Safety check Anticipated response
a) Burner startup with flame detector
darkened
b) Burner startup with flame detector
exposed to extraneous light
c) Simulation of flame failure during
operation. For that purpose, darken
the flame detector during operation
and maintain this state
Lockout at the end of «TSA»
Lockout after approx. 40 seconds

Function
Preconditions for
startup
Undervoltage detection
Control sequence in the
event of fault
Reset
• Burner control is reset
• Contacts in the line are closed
• No undervoltage
• Flame detector is darkened, no extraneous light
An additional electronic circuit ensures that if mains voltage drops below approximately
AC 165 V, burner startup will be prevented, or – without release of oil – lockout will be
triggered.
Whenever lockout occurs, the outputs for the fuel valves, the burner motor, oil preheater and ignition equipment will immediately be deactivated (< 1 second).
The lockout indication lamp changes to red and terminal 10 («AL») for remote lockout
indication receives voltage.
This state is also maintained in the event of mains voltage failure.
Cause Response
Mains voltage failure New start
Extraneous light on burner startup Lockout;
with LOA25... / LOA28...:
Prevention of start
No flame at the end of «TSA» Lockout
Loss of flame during operation Repetition
After lockout, the burner control can be reset after 60...90 seconds (also refer to
«Warning notes»).
Indications
Lockout position
Flame strength
Operation
The lockout position is indicated with the lamp integrated in the lockout reset button.
Only with LOA36...
Indication of the flame strength (green LED) is used for checking the flame signal.
To ensure reliable burner operation, this LED must be lit.
If the green LED flickers or extinguishes during burner operation, the light conditions at
the burner are poor, caused by dirt for instance.
Only with LOA36...
When the contacts of the control thermostat are closed, the orange LED is lit, indicating
the start of the oil preheater’s heating up phase (if present).
