SECTION - 1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 General
Prior to shipment, the following inspections and tests are made to ensure the highest standards of
manufacturing for our customers:
•Material inspections
•Manufacturing process inspections
•Electrical components inspection
•Packing, inspection and final check
This manual is provided as a guide to the correct operation and maintenance of your Fulton equipment, and
should be read in its entirety and be made permanently available to the staff responsible for the operation
of the boiler. It should not, however, be considered as a complete code of practice, nor should it replace
existing codes or standards which may be applicable. Fulton reserves the right to change any part of this
installation, operation and maintenance manual.
Installation, start-up, and maintenance of this equipment can be hazardous and requires trained, qualified
installers and service personnel. Trained personnel are responsible for the installation, operation, and
maintenance of this product, and for the safety assurance of installation, operation, and maintenance
processes. Do not install, operate, service or repair any component of this equipment unless you are
qualified and fully understand all requirements and procedures.
1.2 Technical Data
For a specification, refer to Appendix A – Scope Specification
1.3 Product Overview
The sequencer panel is fitted into a metal industrial electrical cabinet, with a touch screen HMI on the
outside. It is designed to monitor the functions of multiple boilers that are working on the same system,
monitoring normal occurrences such as pressure and flow rate - also errors, faults and alarms.
The sequencer panels purpose is to ensure the boilers are ready for process normally when left overnight so
they don’t fully cool down and can be safely and gradually brought to temperature/pressure. This is because
in normal operation, the boilers be will be powered up quickly when required, if this is done it can cause
fatigue on the boilers and will also cost more money due to the added energy of start-up.
Optional slow opening steam valves can also be installed after the boilers, these will gradually open when
slowly powering up, this will allow the steam system to slowly re-pressurise. This is an advantage because in
a lot of cases as many boiler locations being quickly powered up, the pressure is released very quickly from
the boilers, this causes the condensate within the system’s pipework to be transported through it very
quickly (water hammer) which can lead to significant damage to the system, potentially health and safety
risks and very loud and uncomfortable noises within the system.
The sequencer also automatically switches which boiler(s) (depending on how many are fitted and steam
demand) are taking the lead, which are assisting, and which are in reserve (banked); this will help to ensure
that they are evenly utilised over their life. The SCOPE sequencer panel will also automatically change a
boiler from assist or reserve up to lead or assist with an increased steam demand, so manual intervention is
not required. It will do the opposite in a low demand situation from a high demand. It can also change a
boiler over to a new lead or assist if the current lead or assist is in an alarm situation to ensure seamless
supply of steam, providing of course, that the remaining boilers can cope.
The SCOPE Sequencing panel has optional extras that can be utilised such as controlling of valves after
boilers, hotwell and boiler room temperature monitoring and feedback to BMS central system.

CE plate.
2.4 Standard Electrical Customer Connections
Steam flow rate - Input
Connect the steam flow rate as per the electrical drawing. This will then receive the 4-20mA signal from the
sensor and log the steam flow rate after the steam header if the sensor is fitted.
Thermocouple plant room temperature - Input
Connect the thermocouple plant room as per the electrical drawing. This will then receive the k-type
thermocouple input signal from the sensor and log the plant room temperature if the sensor is fitted.
Common alarm out - Output
Connect the common alarm out as per the electrical drawing. This will then feedback to the BMS if a
common alarm has occurred on any of the boilers.
Steam pressure re-transmission - Output
Connect the Steam pressure re-transmission as per the electrical drawing. This will then provide an analogue
output to the BMS of the header steam pressure.
