Parameters
4 .1 Scanning the parameters
During operation, the 7-segment display shows the pro-
gram step/status.
In addition to the flame signal and the fault history, all
the parameters of the BCU can be scanned in numeri-
cal order by repeatedly pressing the Reset/Information
button (for 1 s).
The parameter display is ended 60 seconds after the
last time the button is pressed or by switching off the
BCU.
The BCU displays
when the mains switch is off.
The parameters cannot be scanned when the BCU is
switched off or when a fault or warning is displayed.
4 .2 Flame control
The BCU is fitted with a flame amplifier which evaluates
whether an adequate flame signal is supplied by the
burner using a flame rod or UV sensor.
4 .2 .1 Burner flame signal
Parameter 01
Displays the flame signal in
μ
A.
The BCU measures the flame signal and assesses
whether there is a flame on the basis of the switch-off
threshold.
4 .2 .2 Burner switch-off threshold
Parameter 02
The sensitivity at which the burner control unit detects
a flame can be set using parameter 02.
As soon as the measured flame signal falls below the
set value (2 to 20
µ
A), the BCU performs a fault lock-
out during start-up after the elapse of the safety time or
during operation after the elapse of the safety time dur-
ing operation (parameter 19).
In the case of UV control, this value can be increased,
should the burner to be monitored be influenced by
other burners for example.
The measured flame signal of the system’s “own” burner
should be at least 3
µ
A (empirical value) higher than the
set switch-off threshold.
No switch-off threshold will be displayed on the BCU
370..U1 for use with UVC 1.
