Maintenance and servicing

7.1 Cleaning

For cleaning, use a moist cloth to wipe the housing from the outside only. For maintenance of 
the sight glass, please use a clean and lint free cloth. Do not use any kind of cleaning sprays 
or liquids.

7.2  Maintenance interval

There is a maintenance interval of less than 10,000 hours of operation are observed. If the 
flame detector operated at temperatures > 50 °C, the maintenance interval is shortened 
considerably.

7.3  Safety check

A safety check of flame monitoring must be carried out during every commissioning and 
maintenance of the furnace because the UV tube subjects a natural aging and the end of its 
life causes problems. Here the following steps should be checked:

Dabei sollten folgende Schritte überprüft werden:
•   The attempt to start the burner flame detector is darken -> after the end of the safety time 

into lock indicate a fault!

•   The attempt to start the burner‘s flame detector with an external UV radiation, eg lighter or 

gas flame (ambient lighting is not sufficient) to illuminate - must -> go into lock during the 
pre-ventilation mode!

•   The operation of the burner flame detector is darken -> depending on type of control box-

rung must either by executing a restart attempt at the end of the safety time or immediately 
after darkening the burner indicate a fault!

7.4  Behavior in case of malfunction

In case of malfunctioning of the flame sensor must be replaced, and send back to the ma-
nufacturer for check. Precaution after crossing the tube service life of 10,000 h should the UV 
tube be replaced by the manufacturer or by authorized personnel. IFC 10 is a safety compo-
nent and may not be opened!

Do not scratch the glass!
