•Ensure that there is a good oil supply to the
burner pump. Bleed one or two gallons from
the flexible to eliminate any pipe scale and
air from the system.
•Check that the oil supply is of the recom-
mended temperature and pressure.
•Bleed the burner pump manually by remov-
ing the right hand ¼ BSP plug in the top of
the pump until air-free oil flows.
•Fill the oil pre-heater tank, if fitted, by remov-
ing the hot oil filter retaining flange in the
outlet pocket on the top of the tank. Fill to
the neck of the tank outlet with clean fuel
oil only.
•Switch on the electricity supply to the burner
and check that the pump motor rotation is
correct to the direction arrows shown on the
pump face.
•Remove the access lid on the modulating
cam box unit.
•Switch on the burner at the control panel. (If
an oil pre-heater is fitted, then a delay may
be experienced whilst the system attains
temperature). The modulating unit camshaft
should now rotate to the high flame setting,
and the combustion air motor will start the
air pre-purge phase.
•Allow the fan motor to run up to speed,
switch off the burner and check the fan rota-
tion (Anti-clockwise as viewed from the mo-
tor side) as the fan slows down.
•Remove and cover the photoelectric cell with
a clean lint free cloth, switch on the burner,
and allow it to run through to lockout. Dur-
ing this run check that the ignition spark is
occurring, and note the spill and line oil pres-
sures at the moment of ignition. Reset the
sequence control and repeat the run if nec-
essary to check these functions. If necessary,
adjust the spill pressure to the correct figure
according to the nozzle specification and the
line pressure at the burner pump to 27.8 bar
(400 psi).
THE BURNER IS NOW READY TO BE COMMIS-
SIONED.
Hand Auto Selector Switch
This switch must always be in the Auto position
when the burner is required to start. The Hand
selection can be made immediately the burner has
started to fire.
Should the burner be left in the Hand position it
will NOT modulate until the Auto position is se-
lected.
Commissioning the Burner
New NO Modulating burners are generally sup-
plied against the firing specification of the appli-
ance. In this case the system and spill pressures
may be pre-set and require checking and minor
adjustments only. The following section describes
how to set up the modulating cam box unit from a
scratch situation.
The modulating cam layshaft can be rotated by
hand by using the gearbox disengagement lever in
the drive servomotor.
•Ensuring that the modulating cam arrange-
ment is in the low flame position, adjust the
oil cam (see fig. 1 on page 18) so that it gives
approximately 1.5mm throw (3mm stroke)
and lock in position.
•Check to ensure that the spill valve push rod
bears lightly against the oil cam.
•Turning to the air cam (fig. 2 on page 18),
rotate the thumbscrews in or out so that they
give a reasonable amount of adjustment in
each direction. Adjust the flexible cable (at
either end if necessary) until the air inlet
damper is fully closed (i.e. until all the slack
is taken up on the cable).
•Now adjust the thumbscrews to give a small
opening of the air damper at low flame.
•Uncover and replace the photocell. Reset the
sequence control and allow the burner to
start. Immediately the burner starts, switch
the hand/auto selector switch to the hand
position and hold low flame until the appli-
ance is ready to accept high flame. During
this period, check and adjust the low flame
oil throughput.
•Check the flame visually. If the flame is dirty,
adjust the air cam thumbscrews until the
flame becomes clean.
•After a suitable delay, inch the camshaft to
the high flame position (i.e. through 180) by
means of the inching switch on the control
panel. Adjust the air cam profile by means of
the thumbscrews until the air damper is now
fully open. At this stage it will be found that
all of the thumbscrews between low and high
position will require adjusting so as to avoid
over stressing the cam profile band.
