4 .5 .4 Burner start-up attempts
Pilot burner
Parameter 10
This indicates the number of possible start-up attempts of
the burner.
In accordance with EN 746-2, three start-ups are permitted in
specific cases in the event of flame failure during start-up, if
the safety of the installation is not impaired. Note the require-
ments of the Standards!
If no flame is detected during start-up, either a fault lock-out
is performed or further start-up attempts in accordance with
EN 746-2 occur.
Pursuant to NFPA 86, only one start-up attempt is permitted in
the event of flame failure during start-up. For units approved
by FM Approval (see type label), it is only possible to select
one start-up attempt.
