Professional Installation and Service Required
Incorrect installation and mishandling of startup could lead to equipment malfunction
and result in asphyxiation, explosion, or re.
yThis Gas Burner Supplement shall be used in conjunction with the Beckett 6104 BCG50 Installation Manual.
yThis burner shall only be installed and prepared for startup by a qualied service technician who is trained and
experienced in commercial gas burner system installation and operation.
yCarefully follow the wiring diagrams, control instruction sheets, ame safeguard sequence of operation, test procedures
and all appliance manufacturer’s directions that pertain to this installation.
yPerform all wiring in accordance with the National Electric Code ANSI/NFPA 70, Canada CSA C22.1 and all authorities
having jurisdiction.
yIf any of these items are not clear or are unavailable, call Beckett at 1-800-645-2876 for assistance.
Gas Burner Manual Supplement
CG15 / CG25 / CG50 Optional Modulation Control Systems
COMMERCIAL PRODUCTS
I. Introduction
The CG15, CG25, and CG50 gas burners are available
in three optional congurations that can be controlled
by the three most popular modulation control signals:
135 Ohm, 4 – 20 mA, or 2 – 10 VDC. All three of these
options use the Siemens SQM40 actuator for damper
control. The SQM40 accepts any of those signals, so the
difference between burners using any of those control
signals is internal wiring of the burner, the control signal
connections you make, and trim adjustments. When
operating with any of these signals, the burner’s ring
rate responds in a direct proportional control manner,
making them well suited for use with lead/lag or building
automation system controls. The standard burner
conguration for these modulation systems is with the
junction box (shown in Figure 1), but a panel enclosure
is optionally available.
Operator controls are the
same for all 3 signal types.

III. Damper Motor Components
The damper motor positions for high  re and for low  re
are set by adjustment of individual cams in a cam stack
(Shown in Figure 3). Only three of the cams in this
motor are active, the red, black and green cams.
○The red cam limits the maximum position of the
motor to the burner’s high  re setting.
○The black cam limits the minimum position of the
motor to the burner’s low  re setting.
○The green cam could be used to set a third position,
for example an off position for the damper. We do
not use the green cam, but we recommend that it be
set to the same position as the black cam.

Electric Shock Hazard
Turn off all electric power to the burner before
servicing.
yIf power is required for adjustments, use extreme
care while working near live conductors.
For standard construction burners the junction
box contains a color coded terminal strip showing
connections for control system power (and blower
motor power for 120 VAC blower motors), limit string
connections, gas valve connections, and rate control
connections. The terminal strip markings match the
wiring diagram speci c to your burner. All of your
control connections are to be made to this terminal
strip. For burners with blower motors operating at a
voltage greater than 120 VAC the junction box will have
a separate motor contactor section with its own power
connections. Refer to the wiring diagram supplied with
your burner for connection details.

IV. Adjustment Instructions
Modulating burners are provided with manual controls that
allow set-up adjustment of the burner
(Figures 6 and 7).
When the Manual / Auto switch is in the Manual position,
control of the damper position is set by the  ring rate
potentiometer. When the Manual / Auto switch is in the
Auto position the  ring rate potentiometer has no effect
on damper position, and the damper is controlled by the
 ame safeguard during start-up and shut-down and by
the boiler’s modulating control during the run interval.
For 135 OHM controls only, If the Manual/Auto switch
is in the Manual position and the boiler pressure (or
temperature) approaches the control limit set on the
boiler’s modulation control (or lead / lag or building
automation system), that control will over-ride the
manual control and drive damper position back to low.
This feature can be used to limit the  ring rate when
warming up a cold boiler.

A notch in the white spacer at the base of the cam stack
indicates the position of the damper by its alignment with
the degree marker on the damper position label (Shown
in Figure 4). To set a cam, turn that cam’s adjustment
screw until the pointer on the cam aligns with the desired
setting on the white spacer between cams.
The burner’s damper can be manually rotated by
disengaging the motor’s gear train from the cam stack
(Shown in Figure 5).
1. Press in and towards the center of the motor on the
cam disengaging pin. It will allow the damper to
move while the cam remains stationary.
2. After adjusting the cams for high and low  re
settings it is important to set the damper position
between the adjusted limits. If the damper position
is left outside the adjusted limits the actuator may
not be engaged until the end of the  rst operating
cycle.
3. WARNING! Re-engage the pin by pushing it
toward the side of the motor and allowing it to
pop out to its original position, otherwise the
motor will rotate without moving the damper.
If the proportional controller signal does not fully
open or close the damper to its high or low  re setting
during modulation, or if modulation is not linear across
the control range, it may be necessary to adjust the
maximum or minimum position potentiometer in the
damper motor (Shown in Figure 5). See the SQM40
manual in the burner’s literature package for detailed
instructions. Note: Both potentiometers require 30
turns to span their range. Don’t give up too soon.
