2.5.4 Safety test prior to initial operation
Danger of injury and material damage if improperly used!
Improper use of the compact flame controller can lead to
injury or even death and to material damage!
In order to ensure correct operation, the compact flame
controller must be tested several times for all applications
by starting and stopping the burner several times. In all
cases the flame relay must switch off reliably in case if the
flame is not detected. Carry out these tests whilst several
neighbouring burners are started and stopped and differ-
ent boiler outputs are used. This is an indispensable pre-
requisite for a safe and correct operation of the device!
