4 .2 .5 High temperature operation with PFU . .D
Parameter 33
Operation of firing systems at temperatures above 750°C. The
PFU features a safety-relevant DI input (Digital Input). This input
supports the “High temperature operation” function. If firing
systems are operated above 750°C, the system is considered
to be a high temperature equipment (see EN 746-2). Flame
control must be in operation until the furnace wall temperature
has exceeded 750°C. Note the requirements of the Standards!
Flame control can be dispensed with during high temperature
operation to improve the system availability. This means that
no incorrect flame signals, e.g. signals from a UV sensor which
are interpreted as extraneous signals due to reflection of UV
radiation, may lead to faults.
When the DI input is activated, the burner control unit reverts
to High temperature mode. This means: the PFU operates
without evaluation of the flame signal. The safety function of the
device-internal flame control system is placed out of operation.
In High temperature mode, the gas valves are opened without
flame control.
The precondition for high temperature operation is that an
external flame safeguard ensures the presence of the flame
in fail-safe manner indirectly via the temperature. For this
purpose, we recommend a safety temperature monitor with
twin thermocouple (DIN 3440). Sensor discontinuity, sensor
short-circuit, failure of a component or mains failure must set
the installation to a safe state.
The voltage may be applied to the DI input (terminal 22a) so as
to activate High temperature mode only when the temperature
at the furnace wall has exceeded 750°C. The PFU starts the
burner as usual, without monitoring the presence of the flame.

If the temperature in the furnace chamber drops below 750°C,
the DI input must be disconnected from the electrical power
supply and the furnace must be operated with the internal
flame control system.
