should be used.
z This burner should be employed exclusively for the use for
which it was designed.
z Before connecting the burner, make sure that the unit
rating is the same as delivery mains (electricity, gas oil, o r
other fuel).
z Observe caution with hot burner components. Thes e are,
usually, near to the flame and the fuel pre-heating system,
they become hot during the unit operation and will remain
hot for some time after the burner has stopped.
When the decision is made to discontinue the use of the burner, the user shall have qualified personnel carry out th e following operations:
a) Remove the power supply by disconnecting the power cord
from the mains.
b) Disconnect the fuel supply by means of the hand-operated
shut-off valve and remove the control handwheels from
their spindles.
Special warnings
z Make sure that the burner has, on installation, been firmly
secured to the appliance, so that the flame is generated
inside the appliance firebox.
z Before the burner is started and, thereafter, at least once a
year, have qualified personnel perform the following opera-
tions:
a) set the burner fuel flow rate depending on the heat input of
the appliance;
b) set the flow rate of the combustion-supporting air to obtain
a combustion efficiency level at least equal to the lower
level required by the regulations in force;
c) check the unit operation for proper combustion, to avoid
any harmful or polluting unburnt gases in excess of the
limits permitted by the regulations in for ce;
d) make sure that control and safety devices are operating
properly;
e) make sure that exhaust ducts intended to discharge the
products of combustion are operating properly;
f) on completion of setting and adjustment operations, make
sure that all mechanical locking devices of controls have
been duly tightened;
g) make sure that a copy of the burner use and maintenance
instructions is available in the boiler room.
z In case of repeated burner shut-downs, do not continue re-
setting the unit manually. Contact qualified personnel to
take care of such defects.
z The unit shall be operated and serviced by qualified per-
sonnel only, in compliance with the regulations in force.

qualified personnel to replace.
When the unit is out of use for some time the electric swi tch
supplying all the power-driven components in the system (i.e.
pumps, burner, etc.) should be switched off.
3b) FIRING WITH GAS, LIGHT OIL OR OTHER FUELS
GENERAL
z The burner shall be installed by qualified personnel and in
compliance with regulations and provisions in force; wrong
installation can cause injuries to people and animals, or
damage to property, for which the manufacturer cannot be
held liable.
z Before installation, it is recommended that all the fuel sup-
ply system pipes be carefully cleaned inside, to remove
foreign matter that might impair the burner operation.
z Before the burner is commissioned, qualified personnel
should inspect the following:
a) the fuel supply system, for proper sealing;
b) the fuel flow rate, to make sure that it has been set based
on the firing rate required of the burner;
c) the burner firing system, to make sure that it is supplied for
the designed fuel type;
d) the fuel supply pressure, to make sure that it is included in
the range shown on the rating plate;
e) the fuel supply system, to make sure that the system
dimensions are adequate to the burner firing rate, and that
the system is equipped with all the safety and control devi-
ces required by the regulations in force.
z When the burner is to remain idle for some time, the fuel
supply tap or taps should be closed.
SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING GAS
Have qualified personnel inspect the installation to ensure
that:
a) the gas delivery line and train are in compliance with the
regulations and provisions in force;
b) all gas connections are tight;
c) the boiler room ventilation openings are such that they
ensure the air supply flow required by the current regula-
tions, and in any case are sufficient for proper combustion.
z Do not use gas pipes to earth electrical equipment.
z Never leave the burner connected when not in use. Always
shut the gas valve off.
z In case of prolonged absence of the user, the main gas
delivery valve to the burner should be shut off.
Precautions if you can smell gas
a) do not operate electric switches, the telephone, or any
other item likely to generate sparks;
b) immediately open doors and windows to create an air flow
to purge the room;
c) close the gas valves;
d) contact qualified personnel.
z Do not obstruct the ventilation openings of the room where
gas appliances are installed, to avoid dangerous conditions
such as the development of toxic or explosive mixtures.

PART I: INSTALLATION12
Pump operating principle
In the burners, the mixture bertween oil and air, to perform a clean and efficient combustion, is activated by atomization of oil
into very small particles. This process is achieved making oil passing through the nozzle at a determined pressure
The pump’s main function is to transfer oil from the tank to the nozzle in the desired quantity and pressure. To adjust this pressure, pumps are provided with a pressure regulator (except for some models for which a separate regulating valve si provided).
Other pumps are provided with two pressure regulators: one for the high and one for low pressure (in tow-stage systems with
one nozzle).
These pumps can be installed both into single-pipe and double-pipe systems.
Single-pipe system: a single pipe drives the oil from the tank to the pump’s inlet. Then, from the pump, the pressurised oil is
driven to the nozzle: a part comes out from the nozzle while the othe part goes back to the pump. In this system, the by-pass
pulg, if provided, must be removed and the optional return port, on the pump’s body, must be sealed by steel plug and washer.
Double-pipe system: as for the single pipe system, a pipe that connects the tank to the pump’s inlet is used besides another
pipe that connects the pum’s return port to the tank, as well. The excess of oil goes back to the tank: this installation can be considered self-bleeding. If provided, the inside by-pass plug must be installed to avoid air and fuel passing through the pump.
Burners come out from the factory provided for double-stage systems. They can be suited for single-pipe system (recommended in the case of gravity feed) as decribed before.
Bleed
Bleeding in two-pipe operation is automatic : it is assured by a bleed flat on the piston. In one-pipe operation, the plug of a pressure gauge port must be loosened until the air is evacuated from the system.
As far as the pipes installation, refer to the following values, considering as well, the plant’s needs.
zMake sure that the by-pass plug is not used in a single pipe installation, because the fuel unit will not function properly and
damage to the pump and burner motor could result.
zDo not use fuel with additives to avoid the possible formation over time of compounds which may deposit between the gear
teeth, thus obstructing them.
zAfter filling the tank, wait before starting the burner. This will give any suspended impurities time to deposit on the bottom of
the tank, thus avoiding the possibility that they might be sucked into the pump.
zOn initial commissioning a "dry" operation is foreseen for a considerable length of time (for example, when there is a long
suction line to bleed). To avoid damages inject some lubrication oil into the vacuum inlet.
zCare must be taken when installing the pump not to force the pump shaft along its axis or laterally to avoid excessive wear
on the joint, noise and overloading the gears.
zPipes should not contain air pockets. Rapid attachment joint should therefore be avoided and threaded or mechanical seal
junctions preferred. Junction threads, elbow joints and couplings should be sealed with removable sg component. The num-
ber of junctions should be kept to a minimum as they are a possible source of leakage.
zDo not use PTFE tape on the suction and return line pipes to avoid the possibility that particles enter circulation. These
could deposit on the pump filter or the nozzle, reducing efficiency. Always use O-Rings or mechanical seal (copper or alumi-
nium gaskets) junctions if possible.
zFilter must be thoroughly cleaned at least once in a season to ensure correct working of the fuel unit. To remove the filter,
unscrew the four screws on the cover. When reassemble, make sure that the filter is mounted with the feet toward the pump
body. If the gasket between cover and pump housing should be damaged, it must be replaced. An external filter should
always be installed in the suction line upstream of the fuel unit.
Mounting of flexible light oil hoses

SETTINGS LO280
Oil rate adjustment - Single stage burners
Priming the pump
Before carrying out the adjustment it is necessary to start up the fuel pump, proceeding as follows:
Prior to start up the burner, make sure that the return pipe to the tank is not obstructed. Any obstruction would
cause the pump seal to break.
Start the burner, light up the photoresistor after the opening of the solenoid valve and escape the air from the pressure port.
The fuel flow rate is set choosing a properly dimensioned nozzle and setting the inlet pressure on the pump (see the hydraulic
diagram in Fig. 34
To choose the correct nozzle refer to table Tab. 1; for setting of the pump pressure, see pag. 23.
Note: all pumps are set to 12 bar. The nozzle rate must be higher than the rate referred to the minimum burner
