7b Start-up — operate boiler (continued)

Check burner flames

View pilot and main flames through the inspection port

in the base burner shield.

Pilot burner flame (Figure 28)

PROPER pilot flame characteristics

1.Blue flame.

2.Inner cone engulfing pilot flame sensor.

3.Pilot flame sensor glowing cherry red.

IMPROPER pilot flame characteristics

1.Overfired — Large flame lifting or blowing past pilot flame sensor.

2.Underfired — Small flame. Inner cone not engulfing pilot flame sensor.

3.Lack of primary air — Yellow flame tip.

4.Incorrectly heated pilot flame sensor.

Main burner flame (Figure 29)

PROPER main burner flame characteristics

1.Yellow-orange streaks may appear (caused by dust).

(NOTE: The CGi-4E will operate at low fire for the first 60 seconds.)

IMPROPER main burner flame characteristics

1.Overfired — Large flames.

2.Underfired — Small flames.

3.Lack of primary air — Yellow tipping on flames (sooting will occur).
