The volume of the furnace
also influences the combustion
process. R. W. Beckett Corp. recommends at least 1
cubic foot of furnace volume for each 150,000 BTU/Hr of
firing rate.
Flames are shaped by their
furnaces and by its flue locations.
Increased height and width can decrease the length
requirement. When shaping is too severe flames
impinge on the walls. Impingement causes CO and
carbon deposits and may damage the wall. Maintaining
these minimum dimensions should prevent impingement,
but smaller furnaces may be acceptable depending
upon the results of applications testing. We recommend
factory testing of all new burner/furnace combinations by
the furnace manufacturer and/or R. W. Beckett Corp.

Mount the burner to the appliance. The burner specified
for packaged equipment will have a flange welded for the
required insertion. Follow the appliance manufacturer’s
instructions for mounting.
In the absence of instructions, or for retrofits, make sure
that the air tube insertion dimension, measured along
the side of the air tube from the welded flange to the end
of burner air tube, is correct.
Figure 6. Custom Mounting Plate
All gas piping installation must
comply with the latest edition of
the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1 (NFPA 54) and
other applicable local codes.
The gas supply system must be sized to deliver at
least the minimum required pressure to the gas train
inlet. Contact your local gas utility for verification of
gas pressures, allowable pressure drops, and any local
piping code requirements. Refer to Figure 7 for an
illustration of a gas piping layout and refer to Table 1 for
pipe sizing.
If this dimension cannot be achieved, protect the end
of the air tube by installing a suitable ceramic refractory
material such as a refractory mill board capable of
withstanding at least 2300°F. The entry hole diameter
in the appliance should be 1” larger than the air tube
to facilitate ease of installation and provide adequate
protection.
Referring to Figure 6, if the front plate opening (C) in
the boiler is larger than the burner flange bolt circle, then
a custom mounting plate (A) of at least 1/4” thickness
must be used with a suitable high-temperature refractory
material anchored on the fire-side. A suitable high-
temperature gasket (B) must be used for an effective
seal.
Attach the plate and gasket to the boiler and tighten
the mounting nuts or bolts securely.
Verify that the air tube is ¼” back from flush (see
Figure 2), and there is nothing blocking the flame
zone that could cause flame impingement.

Protect the Air Tube from
Overheating
Overheating could cause damage to the air tube and
other combustion components leading to equipment
malfunction and impaired combustion performance.
The end of the air tube must not extend into the
combustion chamber unprotected unless it has
been factory-tested and specified by the appliance
manufacturer.
The end of the air tube should be set back ¼”
from flush with the refractory inside wall to prevent
damage from overheating.
Refer to the instructions outlined in this section for
methods of additional protection.

Do Not Use Teflon Tape on
Gas Piping
Damage to gas valve cutoff seals and valve bodies
could cause gas leaks and result in asphyxiation,
explosion or fire.
Pieces of tape can be cut loose during installation
and lodge in gas valves causing cutoff seal
problems.
Teflon tape ‘lubricates’ pipe threads, allowing iron
pipes to penetrate too deeply into aluminum valve
bodies causing distortion and leakage.
Use only pipe sealant compounds that are resistant
to the gas being used.

Gas Trains
Standard – An Underwriters Laboratories (UL) listed
gas train is standard for the CG10 gas burner. This
configuration also meets CSD-1 requirements. See
Figure 8 for typical component layout.
Propane (LP) – When the correct propane restrictor
is added to a burner’s gas pipe assembly it changes
the burner’s gas pressure drop so that the propane
pressure drop is equal to the natural gas pressure drop
of the same BTU firing rate. That is why the Manifold
to Furnace Pressure Drop curves of Figures 12 and
13 are correct for both propane and natural gas. That
is also why a gas train adjusted for the burner’s natural
gas requirements will be correctly adjusted for its
propane requirements. R. W. Beckett provides the same
pressure regulating safety shutoff valve in the gas train
(usually a Honeywell V4944B) for both natural gas and
propane. The valve is marked for natural gas due to
its primary usage in a pressure range normally used

by natural gas appliances. It is safe and effective for
propane usage in this design application.
Optional – Gas trains for IRI and FM are available and
must be specified when ordering a burner.
Verify – Verify that the train components are not
damaged and all piping and fittings are clean inside and
out. The gas train is normally shipped as components
and must be assembled and installed at the site.
Vent lines – Install vent lines to any gas valve component
that requires atmospheric air pressure to balance a
diaphragm. Vent lines must be run to the outdoors, with
the termination point away from fresh air intakes and
windows. The terminal opening must be fitted with a wire
mesh screen to block insects and other contaminants
from entering the vent and must be mounted in such a
position that water, ice, dirt, or any other foreign matter
cannot infiltrate and block the vent piping. Make sure the
final assembly is anchored securely.

Initiate – The primary control enters the INITIATE
sequence when the control is first powered on or
power returns after an interruption. The initiate
sequence is a ten second delay during which the
control verifies line voltage stability.
Standby – The control enters STANDBY until the
limits, operating limit control, burner switch, and all
microcomputer-monitored circuits are in the correct
state.
Load demand – Operating limit control contacts
close on drop in temperature (or pressure) and
initiates the start sequence.
Prepurge – The control will signal the PREPURGE
sequence when the airflow interlock and all
switches are in the correct state. The Prepurge
sequence is the amount of time the blower motor
runs prior to the ignition start sequence. Timing for
the Prepurge sequence is determined by a card
mounted inside the control module (typically 30
seconds).
Trial for ignition (TFI) – After the Prepurge
sequence has timed out, the ignition and main gas
valves will be energized. Because the burner has
direct spark ignition for the main flame, the flame
must be established and detected by the control
within 4 seconds or lockout will occur.
Run – With a flame established and the control
continuing to detect a flame, the burner will operate
in the RUN mode until the load demand is satisfied
or a limit opens.
Load Satisfied – The fuel valves are closed. After
a 15 second post purge, the burner switches to idle
until the next call for operation.

Delayed Ignition, Explosion
and Fire Hazards
This is a direct spark ignition burner and
by code requirements must have a primary
control with a 4-second flame establishment
period. Exceeding 4 seconds could result in
delayed ignition, explosions and fire.
Always verify the primary control has a 4-second flame
establishment period by carefully following the control
manufacturers’ configuration instructions.
Example: Honeywell RM Series requires clipping and
removing the JR1 resistor.

the burner:
1. General
Carefully read and become familiar with the CG10
Manual, Flame Safeguard Control Instructions,
sequence of operation, pertinent wiring diagrams,
gas system layout, insurance requirements,
other controls and valve literature pertinent to the
installation.
Follow the appliance manufacturer’s start-up
procedures (when available).
Inspect the combustion air supply and exhaust
venting and verify that they are free of obstructions
and installed and sized in accordance with all
applicable codes.
Notify appropriate personnel to schedule start-up
(gas utility, owner, operators, subcontractors, etc.).
2. Gas Supply Piping
Insure that the gas piping is properly sized and has
been inspected by the gas utility, leak tested at all
joints, and purged.
To protect the gas train and controls, insure that a
drip leg or dirt pocket has been properly installed.
Insure that the fuel gas being supplied is compatible
with the burner specification and is available at the
correct regulated pressure. (See burner name plate
and specification sheets).
Insure that the vent lines for the diaphragm valves
have been run to the outside and properly terminated.
Use R.W. Beckett recommended maximum pipe
lengths for good lightoff (Figure 8).
3. Electrical
Insure that all wiring has been completed and
complies with the National Electric Code NFPA 70
and local requirements.
Refer to Figure 1 and verify that the electrical supply
to the burner matches the voltage specification on
the label.

Start the Burner
Burner start procedure
(Before proceeding, turn off and lock out electrical
power and close the main leak test cock to shut off gas
to the burner.)
With the power and main gas supply to the burner
turned off, make sure gas has not accumulated in the
boiler or flues.
Check the initial air settings (shutter & band) for input
firing rate. Check the manufacturer’s settings either on
the nameplate shown in Figure 1 or listed in Table 2. If
adjustment is necessary refer to Figure 11 and loosen
the adjustment screws then twist the shutter and/or air
band until the indicators point to the values shown on
the nameplate or listed in Table 2.
With the main gas supply valve closed. Set the limit or
controller to call for heat then apply power to start the
burner. Reset the high and low gas pressure switches
if necessary.
In order to check the function of each component
(i.e: flame safeguard sequence, airflow proving
switch, ignition transformer, gas valves, safety lockout
timing, etc.), with the gas supply closed off, monitor
a complete burner run sequence. Note that the flame
safeguard control will lock out since the fuel supply has
been closed off.
If component operation sequence and function is
correct, reset the flame safeguard and initiate a new
cycle. Monitor the start-up cycle and manually open

the main leak test cock as soon as the flame safeguard
powers the safety shutoff valves. If the boiler room is
quiet you may be able to hear the valve open, if not
you can generally place your hand on the valve and
feel it open. After you have observed main flame for
a brief time, trip any of the switches in the limit string
to shut the burner down. Monitor the flame and safety
shutoff valves to assure that shutdown is controlled by
the valves and that they operate properly. With this
test passed you may safely initiate automatic start-ups
on subsequent cycles.
Verify input firing rate
Clock the meter for CFH and calculate the
input firing rate. Compare the calculated rate to
the specified input for the boiler found on the
specification sheets and on the rating plates for
the burner and boiler. Do not exceed the specified
maximum input for the boiler.
Attach a manometer to the manifold test port, clock
the meter, and adjust the regulated pressure until the
specified input level is achieved. Refer to Table 2.
Be sure to set the breech or furnace pressure to the
correct value, since this will have an effect on the
manifold pressure.

Professional Installation
and Service Required
Incorrect installation and mishandling
of start-up could lead to equipment
malfunction and result in asphyxiation,
explosion or fire.
This burner must be installed and prepared for start-
up by a qualified service technician who is trained
and experienced in commercial gas burner system
installation and operation.
Do not attempt to start the burner unless you are
fully qualified.
Do not continue with this procedure until all items in
the ‘Prepare the Burner for Start-up’ section have
been verified.
Carefully follow the wiring diagrams, control
instruction sheets, flame safeguard sequence
of operation, test procedures and all appliance
manufacturer’s directions that pertain to this
installation.

The shutter and band both control
the amount of flow area available for
air inlet to the burner. The greater their combined flow area,
the higher the firing rate. The primary differences between
the two are their ease of adjustment and their total airflow
area. The shutter turns more easily and has a smaller net
flow area. As a result we have found the shutter to be better
suited for low rate adjustments, and the band better suited
for high rate adjustments. We recommend that at low rates
the band be left completely closed until the shutter has been
fully opened, and that for higher rates the shutter is left
completely open as the band is opened.

Estimating Rate
Manifold to Furnace Pressure information can be used to estimate the burner’s firing rate when it is not possible to
clock a meter for the rate.
To estimate the burner’s firing rate:
Measure the furnace pressure over fire
Measure the manifold pressure (at the manifold pressure test connection in Figure 10).
Subtract the furnace pressure from the manifold pressure
Compare the result to the data in Figure 12 or 13 as appropriate for your burner.
Clocking a gas meter
Before you clock the meter you must make sure that the burner is operating at a steady rate, and that it is the only
thing that is using gas that would flow through the meter.
Uncorrected flow rate
Locate the dial that moves the fastest and determine how many cubic feet are represented by one revolution of its
dial.
Use your watch for timing and observe how many cubic feet are used in one minute.
Multiply by 60
Example: The dial is a one cubic foot dial, and goes around 7 ½ times in one minute. That gives 7.5 cubic feet per
minute. Multiply by 60 to get 450 cubic feet per hour (CFH) as your uncorrected flow rate.
Pressure correction
Gas is compressible, the higher the pressure on it, the smaller the number of cubic feet it occupies. To correct for that
you will need to know the gas pressure at the meter.
If there’s a gauge at the meter, read it while the gas is flowing. (If not, measure the gas pressure in the line
downstream of the meter before any valves or regulators, with no gas flowing.)
Convert the gas pressure to PSI if you measure it in any other units. (1 PSI = 27.7 inches water column)
Add 14.7 to the meter pressure, divide their sum by 14.7, and multiply that result times the uncorrected flow rate to
obtain the pressure corrected flow rate.
Example: The meter in the example above is operating at 14” WC.
14 / 27.7 = .5 PSI at the gauge; 14.7 + .5 =15.2; 15.2 / 14.7 = 1.034 correction factor;
1.034 x 450 = 465 CFH corrected for pressure
Temperature correction
Gas volume also changes with the temperature of the gas. Most gas meters are temperature compensated, and say so
on the face of the index and don’t require temperature correction. The temperature we correct to is 60° F. That’s close to
the temperature of the ground, so usually it’s not necessary to correct for temperature from underground lines.
Measure the gas temperature at the meter.
Add 460 to the gas temperature and divide 520 by the result to obtain the correction factor.
Multiply the pressure corrected flow rate times the temperature correction factor.
Example: The meter in the example is connected to an above ground line on a hot day and shows 100° F gas
temperature. 460 + 100 = 560; 520 / 560 = .929; 465 x .929 = 432 CFH corrected for pressure and temperature.
This figure is often called SCFH (for standard cubic feet per hour).
BTU’s and MBH
The BTU content of natural gas varies from one location to another, and even from day to day at a fixed location. For
firing estimates it is usually assumed to be 1000 BTU’s per standard cubic foot.
To calculate BTU/Hr firing rates multiply SCFH times 1000.
Example: 432 SCFH x 1000 = 432,000 BTU/Hr.
MBH stands for thousands of BTU’s per hour. Since 1 cubic foot of natural gas contains 1000 BTU, 1 MBH equals 1
SCFH of gas flow.
Example: 432 SCFH = 432 MBH

High limit – To check the High Limit, raise the
temperature or pressure of the operating control to
a higher level and lower the limit to a setting less
than the operating control. Run the burner until the
high limit opens and shuts the burner off. Adjust the
controls back to the desired settings.
Operating control – Run the burner until the
operating control shuts it off. If necessary, make
adjustments to ensure the control cycles the burner
in the desired temperature or pressure range.
Operating controls should be
set to minimize the number of
firing cycles that the burner runs. High cycling rates
increase the possibility of light-off lock outs.
Low water cutoff (LWCO) – With the burner firing,
open the blow down valve on the low water cutoff,
if applicable. As the water level drops, the LWCO
switch contacts open and shut the burner off. When
the water level rises, the LWCO contacts close
and restart the burner. Monitor the LWCO switch
operation in relation to the water level in the sight-
glass for synchronization.

Testing by Qualified
Technician Required.
Failure to properly test and verify the correct
function of operation and safety controls could lead
to equipment malfunction and result in asphyxiation,
explosion or fire.
The testing of operation and safety controls requires
technical training and experience with commercial
gas burning systems.
Carefully follow the manufacturer’s instructions
supplied with the controls.
Verify the correct function of all operation and safety
controls used in the installation.

Section: Start the Burner
Airflow proving switch – With the burner firing at
its lowest rate, loosen the tubing connection to the
airflow proving switch. A loss in air pressure at the
tubing should immediately cause the diaphragm
in the switch to open and recycle or lockout the
safeguard control.
Low gas pressure switch – With the burner firing
and a manometer attached to a test port near
the low pressure switch, gradually close the main
leak test cock to shut off the gas supply. Note the
pressure at which the low gas pressure switch
opens and shuts the burner off. Manually reset the
switch. The low gas pressure switch should be set
at half of the normal supply pressure in the line.
High gas pressure switch – With the burner firing
and a manometer attached to the test port nearest
the high pressure switch, gradually increase the
gas pressure until the high pressure switch opens
and shuts the burner off. Note the pressure and
manually reset the switch. The high gas pressure
switch should be set at one and one half times the
high fire manifold pressure (see nameplate data in
Figure 1 or set switch as determined by testing).
Leak-test valve – With the burner firing and
manometer attached to the leak-test valve port, turn
the burner electrical switch off and observe that
the gas pressure does not increase after several
minutes. This proves total closure of the main gas
valve.
Flame safeguard safety lockout – Simulate a
flame failure by turning the main gas supply off. The
control should shut the burner off on safety within
the safety lockout time.
Flame sensor circuit (flame rod) – With the
burner power switch turned off, refer to the wiring
diagram supplied with the control and locate the
sensor connection terminals. Place DC voltmeter
probes in the flame amplifier test jacks. With the
burner firing, the flame signal should be steady and
at least 1.25 VDC.
Flame sensor circuit (UV scanner) – With the
burner power switch turned off, refer to the wiring
diagram supplied with the control and locate the
sensor connection terminals. Place DC voltmeter
probes in the flame amplifier test jacks. With the
burner firing, the flame signal should be steady and
at least 1.25 VDC.
