Parameters
11 .7 .2 Safety time during operation
Parameter A019
Parameter A019 = 0; 1; 2; 3; 4: time in seconds
The safety time during operation is the time that the
BCU needs to stop the fuel supply after a flame failure
during operation or an interruption at the safety current
inputs (terminals 36, 37 and 38). The safety time can
be set to between 0 and 4 s in steps of 1 s. Prolonging
the safety time during operation increases the instal-
lation availability in the case of brief-duration signal
fades (e.g. fades of the flame signal).
The requirements of national standards and regula-
tions must be satisfied .
In accordance with EN 298, the maximum reaction
time to a flame failure must not exceed 1 s. Specific ap-
plication standards may permit other values.
In accordance with EN 746-2, the safety time of the in-
stallation during operation (total closing time) must not
exceed 3 s.
Under NFPA 86, section 8.10.3*, the maximum flame
failure response time shall be ≤ 4 s.
