Flame Monitoring Control
The flame monitoring control is the equipment that processes
the signal from the flame rod or the U.V. scanner.
For flame monitoring control you may select several options:
flame monitoring control for each burner: if one burner
goes down, only that burner will be shut off
multiple burner flame monitoring control: if one burner goes
down, all burners will be shut off
There are three recommended flame monitoring controls:
Bi-flame series; see Instruction Manual 826
Multi-flame series 6000; see Instruction Manual 820
Veri-flame; see Instruction Manual 818
Other manufacturers flame monitoring systems can be used
with the burner if spark is maintained for a fixed time interval
and is not interrupted when a flame signal is detected during
trial for ignition.
