2.1 Intended use
The IFC 11 is a compact UV flame detector, which is specially designed for severe conditions
often experienced in industrial applications for single flame combustion. The IFC 11 can be
connected directly to the ionisation or LDR input of the control box. The UV sensor ensures
that the flame detector does not react to background radiation from hot refractory or from
any other infrared light source.
The IFC11 is a compact UV flame detector specially designed for use in industrial combustion
systems. The flame detector can be connected directly to a tuned ionisation or LDR input of
the burner control box. The IFC11 flame detector is designed in accordance with EN298 for
burner control boxes that do not check whether a flame signal is still present after a control
shutdown. The internal increase of the UV tube voltage immediately after the supply volta-
ge is applied ensures the safety requirement according to UL 372-2, CSA C22.2 and EN 298
for checking the UV tube for ignition for intermittent burner operation within the pre-purge
phase.
In case of a fault, the burner control recognises this condition as extraneous light.
With the Dioptric holder, which serves also as a connection interface of the flame detector to
the combustion chamber, the IFC 11 can be fitted with different glasses and lenses to special
requirements. The flame detector is equipped with an optical interface which visibly indicates
the flame signal intensity. A simple diagnosis of the flame intensity is directly on the furnace
or boiler possible.
The manufacturer/supplier shall not be liable for damage resulting from use for non-intended
purposes. The user/operating company alone shall bear the risk.
Danger when improperly used!
The device may cause hazards if it is not used as intended and/or for any other purposes.
The device has to be used only for the purposes for which it is intended.
The procedures described in the operating instructions have to be observed.
GENERAL ASPECTS
WARNING
!
The flame detector must be de-energised for at least 5 s between burner shutdown
and restart.

2.5.2 Electrical / electronic devices
Important rules of conduct
• Check the device in regular intervals. Any defects or faults ascertained have to be corrected
immediately. Switch off the device until the defects have been corrected.
• Equipment parts undergoing inspection, maintenance or repair work have to be made
deenergised, if required. First check that the disconnected parts are no longer live, then
short to earth. Also isolate neighbouring live parts
• If work is required on live parts, a second person has to be assigned who can disconnect
the power supply in case of an emergency. Only use insulated tools!
• Fuses must not be repaired or bridged. Only use original fuses with the specified current!
2.5.3 Inspection in accordance with the Ordinance on Industrial Safety and Health
In the event of the combination or installation of units from different manufacturers or sup-
pliers, a precise test must be done by the operator before commissioning in accordance with
the applicable industrial safety regulations and the applicable electrical engineering rules.
In case of queries, please get in touch with BST Solutions.
2.5.4 Safety test
Danger to life caused by electrical current!
Contact with live wires or components presents a danger to life!
Prior to any work on the electrical equipment, disconnect the flame amplifiering system
from the power supply network!
SAFETY
DANGER
!
In keeping with the electrical regulations, work on electrical / electronic parts / compo-
nents may only be carried out by electrical specialists.
To ensure proper operation, the UV flame detector must be tested several times in all
applications by starting the burner several times. IFC 11 must be tested several times by
starting and stopping the burner several times. and stopped several times. The flame re-
lay must switch off reliably in all cases if there is no flame.
This test should be carried out in different operating situations (see technical data sheet).
This is an indispensable prerequisite for safe and proper operation of the unit!

4.4 Dimensions IFC 11
All dimensions in inch
4.5 Installation
The IFC 11 should be mounted close to the flame with straight alignment. The compact flame
detector should be mounted with the diopter. The diopter guaranties a quick mounting and
demounting of the compact flame controller. A diameter of 1‘‘ is recommended for viewing
tube that is cut down on the port side of the rear sight to ½‘‘. The sight pipe must be ade-
quately dimensioned.
The alignment is to concentrate on the primary zone of the flame (flame root). The distance
from the flame should be less than 80 in. Upon completion of the assembly work the screws
of the rear sight to the flame menwächters are to be tightened down. At high temperature
on the sight glass, which could heat the UV tube to about 140 °F, an air connection is to be
provided. To avoid interference, the direct view is to avoid a spark.
The maximum cable length of the cable is to be noted (see „Technical data). The connecting
cable is to run separately from the high-energy ignition and power lines over long distances
and not parallel to transfer it to.
All installation and connection work may be carried out by qualified and approved spe-
cialist staff only! The legal regulations as well as adjustment instructions of the plant
operator have to be observed!
NOTICE
TRANSPORT, INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION
For safety reasons, there must be at least one control shutdown per 24 hours. With the
IFC 11, to check the UV tube in accordance with UL 372-2, CSA C22.2 and EN 298, the bur-
ner control to be used must during the restart check the flame detector for the presence
of an extraneous light signal. Between the control shutdown and the restart, the UV flame
detector must be de-energised for at least 5 sec. between control shutdown and restart.

4.5.2 Usage of glasses and lenses
Depending on the distance and view angle to the flame, the diopter lens to be used when
needed. If pressure prevailing in the combustion chamber, a diopter with quartz glass is re-
commended.
4.5.3 Purge air connection
If the sensor temperature may rise due to high combustion chamber temperatures above 140 °F, a
purge air connection in order to limit the temperature sensor to provide a maximum of 140 °F is
essential. The dimensioning of the scavenging air is dependent on the parameters of the furna-
ce back pressure, and the pending purge air pressure and temperatures. Purge air connections
are available as the diameters ¼‘‘ and ½‘‘ optionally. The air connection is combined with the
adapter. Depending on the application again lenses and glasses are available. This eliminates
the normal adapter.
