Figure 5-38 Igniting the flame
In order to put the FID into operation, the flame must be ignited. This normally happens
automatically once the "Warm-up phase" operating state has been completed successfully.
For checking/testing purposes, you can also ignite the flame manually with function 57.
Press the second softkey to activate ("■") or deactivate ("□") the ignition. The display shows
the temperature of the flame and the measured current.
When the flame is burning, "Flame burning" appears on the display. If it goes out, this
message disappears.
