BURNER OPERATING SEQUENCE 

The MDFL burner operating sequence (refer to the controller sequence table below) begins with a 
pre-purge period on full air.  When gas is selected, the fuel is then supplied to the burner at start rate 
and ignition initiated.  Start gas flame proving is followed by establishment of the main flame. 
 
When oil is selected, on completion of the pre-purge period the appropriate oil valve or valves open, 
ignition is initiated and the flame is established. 
 
In both cases, the burner controller will then continue to its normal operating position and the 
operation of the burner will be controlled by the pressure and/or temperature requirements of the 
appliance.

Note:  The pre-purge times shown refer to the control box only.  The time taken for the air damper to 
move to the appropriate position will extend the total purge time up to a maximum of 157 seconds, 
depending on the firing rate and air requirements of the appliance.
