AUTOMATIC GAS BURNER CONTROL
This range of electronic gas burner control systems has
SYSTEMS FOR GAS BURNERS AND GAS been designed specifically for atmospheric and fan assisted
BURNING APPLIANCES WITH OR burners for intermittent operation (systems for non-
WITHOUT FAN permanent operation ).
All these controls are provided with non-volatile lock-out,
which means that a restart from the safety shut-down
condition can only be accomplished by a manual reset of
the system.
The automatic burner control units of this series are suitable
for:
-combi boilers
-heating boilers
-warm air generators
-radiant heaters
-water heaters
Due to the design and the variety of models they can be
used also for the automation of ovens, cookers and in
general in gas firing installations with atmospheric burner.
Features
Table 1 shows the main features of this series. Other
important features are:
− EC - Type certification (CE Reg. N° 63AQ0625) in
accordance with Gas Appliance Directives 90/396 and
93/68;
− in accordance with EN298 (European standard for
automatic gas burner control systems);
− flame monitoring by the rectification property of the
flame: ionization;
− two independent safety contacts in series on the gas
valve output;
− electrical service life at max. loading >250.000
operations;
− inbuilt or remote reset facility;
− inbuilt ignition device completely of solid state design
and high efficiency;
− auxiliary contact for low power ignition or main gas valve
control for intermittent pilot systems (this contact is not
isolated from the main supply voltage by reinforced
isolation, therefore the relay contact is not suitable to
supply SELV circuits - Safety Extra Low Voltage, e.g.
24V);
− different connections and fixings.

− The applicable national regulation and European
standards (e.g. EN60335-1/prEN50165) regarding
electrical safety must be respected.
− Live and neutral should be connected correctly, a
mistake could cause a dangerous situation, i.e. the
valves would still be live with the thermostats and limits

respected the control performs a non-volatile lock-out at
the end of the safety time at starting up.

connections can damage the control and compromise
the safety.
− Take great care while connecting the lock-out signal and

the control. Fig.6
