Electrical connection of ionization probe 

It is important to achieve practically disturbance- and loss-free signal transmission: 

 

Never run the detector cable together with other cables 
– Line capacitance reduces the magnitude of the flame signal 
– Use a separate cable 

 

Observe the permissible length of the detector cable (refer to «Technical data») 

 

The ionization probe and the ignition electrode are not protected against electric 
shock hazard

 

 

Locate the ignition electrode and the ionization probe such that the ignition spark 
cannot arc over to the ionization probe (risk of electrical overloads) and that it 
cannot adversely affect the supervision of ionization 

 

With ionization current supervision, the cable length for flame detection must not 
exceed 20 m 

 Insulation 

resistance 

- Must be a minimum of 50 M

 between ionization probe and ground even after a  

  large number of operating hours

 

- Prerequisite for this is not only high quality heat-resistant insulation of the  
  electrode cable, but also of the ionization probe itself (ceramic holder!) 
– Soiled detector holders reduce the insulation resistance, thus supporting  
   creepage currents 

 

The burner (as the counter-electrode) must be correctly earthed, or else no 
ionization current will flow 

 

Since the burner bars form the earthed counter-electrode, the burner must be 
adjusted so that the flame is hot and stable and in firm contact with the burner bars. 
With pulsating flames or yellow-burning flames resulting from lack of air, a very low 
or even no ionization current is generated so that the burner enters malfunction 

Commissioning notes 

When commissioning the plant or when doing maintenance work, make the following 
safety checks: 
 

 

Safety check to be carried out 

Anticipated response 

a)  Burner startup with no flame signal; for that purpose, open the 

connection between burner control and ionization probe prior 
to burner startup and maintain that status 

Lockout at the end of «TSA» 

b)  Burner operation with simulated loss of flame during 

operation; for that purpose, open the connection between 
burner control and ionization probe during burner operation 
and maintain that status 

Restart, followed by lockout at the end of «TSA» 

c)  No air pressure signal during «t1» (only with LGA52... / 

LGA63... with auxiliary fan) 

No startup 

d)  Air pressure failure during operation (only with LGA52... / 

LGA63... with auxiliary fan) 

Shutdown
