Start the Burner

Professional Installation

and Service Required

Incorrect installation and mishandling of start-up could lead to equipment malfunction and result in asphyxiation, explosion or fire.

yThis burner must be installed and prepared for start- up by a qualified service technician who is trained and experienced in commercial gas burner system installation and operation.

yDo not attempt to start the burner unless you are fully qualified.

yDo not continue with this procedure until all items in the ‘Prepare the Burner for Start-up’ section have been verified.

yCarefully follow the wiring diagrams, control instruction sheets, flame safeguard sequence of operation, test procedures and all appliance manufacturer’s directions that pertain to this installation.

yIf any of these items are not clear or are unavailable, call Beckett at 1-800-645-2876 for assistance.

Burner start procedure

(Before proceeding, turn off and lock out electrical power and close the main leak test cock to shut off gas to the burner.)

1.With the power and main gas supply to the burner turned off, make sure gas has not accumulated in the boiler or flues.

2.Check the initial air settings (shutter & band) for input firing rate. Check the manufacturer’s settings either on the nameplate shown in Figure 1 or listed in Table 2. If adjustment is necessary refer to Figure 11 and loosen the adjustment screws then twist the shutter and/or air band until the indicators point to the values shown on the nameplate or listed in Table 2.

3.With the main gas supply valve closed. Set the limit or controller to call for heat then apply power to start the burner. Reset the high and low gas pressure switches if necessary.

4.In order to check the function of each component (i.e: flame safeguard sequence, airflow proving switch, ignition transformer, gas valves, safety lockout timing, etc.), with the gas supply closed off, monitor a complete burner run sequence. Note that the flame safeguard control will lock out since the fuel supply has been closed off.

5.If component operation sequence and function is correct, reset the flame safeguard and initiate a new cycle. Monitor the start-up cycle and manually open the main leak test cock as soon as the flame safeguard powers the safety shutoff valves. If the boiler room is quiet you may be able to hear the valve open, if not you can generally place your hand on the valve and feel it open. After you have observed main flame for a brief time, trip any of the switches in the limit string to shut the burner down. Monitor the flame and safety shutoff valves to assure that shutdown is controlled by the valves and that they operate properly. With this test passed you may safely initiate automatic start-ups on subsequent cycles.

Verify input firing rate

1.Clock the meter for CFH and calculate the input firing rate. Compare the calculated rate to the specified input for the boiler found on the specification sheets and on the rating plates for the burner and boiler. Do not exceed the specified maximum input for the boiler.

2.Attach a manometer to the manifold test port, clock the meter, and adjust the regulated pressure until the specified input level is achieved. Refer to Table 2.

3.Be sure to set the breech or furnace pressure to the correct value, since this will have an effect on the manifold pressure.
