Control Motor

Select a control motor. Standard control motor options include 

various models which Eclipse will mount to the burner. RatioAirs 

can be ordered with control motor bracket and mounting hardware 

only. Customer supplied control motors must conform to the these 

specifications:

rotation not to exceed 2 rpm

• 

minimum torque of 25 in-lb (2,8 Nm)

• 

90° stroke

• 

continuous modulating or high/low modulating control

• 

reversible direction of rotation

• 

certain applications may require control motors with a limit 

• 

switch or switches if:

 

the burner capacity is to be limited to fit an application

 

-  the chamber is to be fired with positive or negative  

 

  pressure

 

-  the chamber pressure is outside the range -1" w.c.  

 

  to +1" w.c. (-2,5 to 2,5 mbar)

 

-  there is a need to indicate a high and/or low fire air    

  butterfly valve (BV) position

Burner Configuration

Select configuration.

Gas Pipe Connection

Select the gas pipe connection including the pipe thread type and 

the turndown required.
The piping, burner gas inlet, and ratio regulator are threaded using 

the customer selected pipe thread option.
The high turndown option includes a ratio regulator with an 

adjustment for lower inputs.

Flame Supervision

Determine if a flame rod or an ultraviolet (UV) scanner will be 

required. Flame rods are available on model RA0025, RA0040, 

RA0075 and RA0100 burners with alloy or SiC tubes. A flamerod 

can also be used on RA0200 burners but with upright left hand 

piping or inverted right hand piping configurations only. All other 

options and models require UV scanners. If a UV scanner is 

required, it must be ordered separately. 

Warning:

A UV scanner could possibly detect another burner’s 

flame if it is in the line of sight, and falsely indicate 

flame presence.

Air Flow Switch

The air flow switch provides a signal to the monitoring system 

when there is not enough air pressure from the blower. If a switch 

is selected, it will be factory mounted.

Warning:

Eclipse supports the NFPA regulation requiring, as 

a minimum standard for main gas shut-off systems, 

the use of an air pressure switch in conjunction with 

other system components.
