AUTOMATIC BURNER CONTROL SYSTEM 

 

 

 

 

The burner control unit Q

BK [ 

cubic

 ] is suitable for the 

control of pilot burners up to 350 kW and main 

burners 

of unlimited capacity, pursuant to EN 746

-2, 

for intermittent or continuous operation. 

Flame control by means of UV scanner or ionization 

rod (even shared with ignition) and high-temperature 

option for flame surveillance bypass. 

Specific output for air valve or fan, following cycle or 

independently controllable. 

Times and cycle are configurable: the same device can 

be used to control different types of gas and oil 

burners, meeting all relevant requirements.  

A led-bar flame signal indicator and an advanced self-

diagnostic system provides the display of either the 

cycle status, lockouts and failures. 

Remote control and supervision of the burner can be 

implemented by means of traditional electrical wiring, 

or through built-in communication line.
