IRIS MODEL P522 APPLICATION MANUAL
The above settings will be satisfactory for most applications, but are used only as a starting point. So many variables can affect the readings that it is impossible to catalogue all the settings, and each viewing head has its own characteristics for the different types of fuels and burn- ers. We recommend that you become knowledgeable about the characteristics of the different viewing head models available before applying them to a par- ticular application. Detailed descriptions of the viewing heads are provided in this manual, and the VIEWING HEAD AP-
There must be a definitive ratio between the read- ings for burner ON and burner OFF. This ratio can be defined by using the lowest reading for burner ON from both of the load conditions, and the high- est reading for burner OFF from both of the load conditions. If the readings are 2:1 or more (BNR ON to BNR OFF) then there should be no problem discriminating between burners.
A good balance for the set points would be:
ON SET POINT = .75A + .25B
OFF SET POINT = .25A + .75B
