Adjusting Burner Nozzle, Electrode & Head Position    

    

Your CIMLINE 1500 Matrix is equipped with a model ADC burner.  Each unit comes 
with a nozzle, electrode and head position gauge.  For optimum performance, the 
steps below should be performed periodically.  The burner must be removed from the 
combustion chamber. 
 

Step 1:  Setting the Electrode Gap 
 

Check electrodes to see if the gap is aligned with the lines on the gauge.  The gap 
should be  
from 1/8" to 5/32" as shown below.  Bend the electrodes slightly if required.  If the 
electrodes are way out of line, you may have to remove the head and realign as de-
scribed in Step 3. 

Step 2:  Inspecting Nozzle Concentricity

 

 
The nozzle should be approximately centered within the head.  Insert the 
gauge as shown.  The center of the nozzle should be aligned with the cen-
ter line.  Rotate the gauge and check alignment from several locations.  
BE CAREFUL NOT TO SCRATCH THE SURFACE.  If it is not concentric, 
you may have to replace or straighten center bracket.
