PF3100 MODULE FAMILY
INTRODUCTION
The PF3100 burner management system consists of individual building blocks called modules which can
be mixed and matched to form a complete solution. Each module performs a specific function and is
intended to be installed close to the device they are measuring or controlling. This simplifies wiring and
reduces issues with noise and signal loss compared to centralized control systems. This also allows the
user to purchase only the modules which are necessary for a given application. The modules interact with
one another using a network based communication method to perform a given task safely.

MOUNTING CONSIDERATIONS
Orientation
The UIX, CTX, and AUX enclosures should be mounted upright.
The EPX and TLX enclosures can be mounted in whichever direction makes sense for
the application.
Location
1. The UI Module is typically mounted in an operator-safe, easily accessible area. The
recommended mounting height is 1.5m (5ft) above where the operator will be standing
for ease of use. If there is a BMS card in the UIX enclosure with the UI card, then you
will need to adjust the location accordingly.
2. Mount any BMS enclosures near the corresponding valve train.
3. The Thermocouple card is included inside of a head connection (TLX enclosure) with a
thermocouple probe. The Type K Temperature module comes ready to install into the
thermowells of each tank. Install in a Div 1 rated thermowell.
4. The Ion Pilot module should be located within 50 feet of the pilot it is igniting.
5. The Network and Modbus cards will typically be mounted inside of a UIX, CTX, and AUX
enclosure. Must be within max PFRN run length of 250 ft.
HAZARDOUS LOCATION MOUNTING
In order to maintain the hazardous location rating for the EPX Enclosure, the following conditions must be
met.
The EPX Enclosure lid must be tightened down until it is flush with the base. The locking
screw must be installed into the base.
Each unused base port must be sealed with pipe plugs. Use our plugs or figure out
appropriately rated plugs that are equivalent.
Any base ports in use must be sealed within 18 inches of the EPX Enclosure. All fittings must
have at least 5 threads of engagement.

INSTALLATION WARNINGS
Before installing the PF3100, please review the following list of warnings.
Failure to observe the following may result in death, electrocution,
property damage, product damage, and/or government fines.
1. For burners greater than 12.5 MMBtuh, additional modules may be required for use with
the PF3100 system.
2. It is recommended that the low fire feature be used with anything above 1 MMBtuh. To
use the PF3100 on burners greater than 5 MMBtuh, the Proof of Closure feature must
be used.
3. Failure to properly ground the pilot assembly back to the PF3100’s Ion terminal may
result in accidental electrocution, product damage, or failure to ignite the pilot.
4. The PF3100 generates 20kV- 40kV at its high voltage output terminal which can cause
cardiac arrest. Do not touch or place any object near the ignition coil’s high voltage
terminal or connected ignition wire while the product is operating. Even without making
physical contact with the terminal, it is possible to draw a spark from several inches
away, especially if the pilot bracket is not properly grounded.
5. Make sure that the PF3100 enclosures are securely closed each time after opening
the enclosure. This protects the internal circuitry from moisture damage and other
environmental concerns. Moisture damage is not covered by the product warranty if the
door has been left open.

WIRING
Modules
The wiring in this section of the document is required for all PF3100 installations. Skipping or performing
any steps in this section incorrectly can result in the PF3100 not working properly.
6. Run appropriately zoned conduits between the modules. The UIX and CTX enclosures
have pre-drilled conduit holes in two different sizes – 0.5 in (1.27 cm) and 0.75 in (1.91
cm). There are 4 of each size available. Remove the hole seals as needed and install the
conduit.
7. Run a Cat5e or higher rated Ethernet cable through each conduit (between the BMS
Controller Card and each other card). Make sure that the UI Card is plugged into the port
on the BMS Controller Card labelled “UI Port”.
8. Make sure that all other cards are plugged into one of the other ports on the BMS
Controller Card.
9. Connect power wires according to specifications from the BMS Controller to an
appropriately rated power supply running at 12 or 24VDC.
10. Connect power wires according to specifications from each Ethernet switch to an
appropriately rated power supply running at 12 or 24VDC.
11. Wire valves (including PoC, PoLF, and Temperature Control Valve) to the BMS Controller
Card.
12. Wire the Pilot valve to the Pilot +/- terminals.
13. Wire the Main valve to the High Fire / Main +/- terminals.
14. If the Safety Shutoff Valves (SSV) are required in your application, wire one valve to the
SSV1 +/- terminals and the other valve to the SSV2 +/- terminals.
15. Make sure that each valve has a separate return wire. Multiple valves sharing common
return wires will not function properly.
16. Connect valve EGND wires to Earth Ground.
1 7. Note that the PF2100 valve output called “Low Fire” has been replaced by two new
valve outputs called Safety Shutoff Valve 1(SSV1) and Safety Shutoff Valve 2 (SSV2).
This is for applications that require two valves for safety. These two contacts always
follow each other but are provided separately for improved current handling and also for
improved troubleshooting.
18. Wire dry contact inputs to the BMS Controller Card as required.
19. There are 5 dry contact inputs on the PF3100. The expected connection to each of these
is a switch. These contacts must all be closed (shorted) in order for the system to start.
Jumpers are provided for each of these by default. If you need to use a particular contact
for your application, simply remove the associated jumper and connect a switch in its
place.
20. Wire the start contact to the BMS Controller Card as required.
21. The Start Contact can be used to attach a remote start/stop switch. This is typically
connected to a PLC dry contact output.
22. When the contact is open, the system is stopped. For safety reasons, a double action is
required to start the system remotely via this contact. This is accomplished by closing
the switch, opening it, and then closing it again. Once the system is running, simply
open the switch again to stop it.
23. Wire the 4-20 inputs or Pressure/Level Switches to the BMS Controller Card if required.
24. The Level Contact can be connected to a Level Switch installed right above the fire tube.
This is used to signal when the tank level drops below a certain minimum. This is often
the point at which the fluid in the tank is no longer covering the fire tube. Running the
burner with an empty tank can damage both the fire tube and the tank.
25. The Level Contact is time averaged to help reject brief fluctuations in tank level which

6
might be a result of vibration. The contact must be open continuously for 2 or 20
seconds (depending on the “Pressure/Level Delay” setting) before the system will
shutdown. If “Level Restart” is enabled, the system will restart automatically when the
Level Contact recloses.
26. Note that the PF2100 has level and pressure contact inputs on the Terminal Card and
corresponding 4-20 inputs on an expansion card. The PF3100 has contacts and 4-20
inputs overloaded on the same inputs. The behavior is selectable in software. Also note
that there is not a separate low and high pressure contact. If both switches are desired,
they need to be wired in series and connected to the pressure contact.
27. Wire thermocouples to the Thermocouple Card as required. The TC1A thermocouple
inputs are mandatory and must be connected to a Dual Element thermocouple. The
other thermocouples are only required when a second process temperature (such as the
outlet temperature on a line heater) must be monitored.
28. Connect a dual element, Type K thermocouple to the TC1A inputs.
29. Note that TC1A, TC1B, TC2A, and TC2B require dual element Type-k thermocouples. This
is different from the PF2100 which only supported a single TC for the auxiliary input.
30. Wire the ignition coil and flame rod to the Ion Pilot Card.
Flame Rod/Ignition Coil
This section provides some tips to set up the system for reliable ignition and flame detection.
Wire Lengths
When wiring the ignition and flame detection circuits, the wire length between the ignition coil and pilot
should be no more than 5m (15ft). If the wire lengths are too long, the PF3100 may not be able to deliver
enough energy to the ignition rod to ignite the pilot. The PF3100 may also fail to receive a signal from the
flame rod for detecting flame.
Grounding
Properly grounding the pilot assembly back to the PF3100 Ion Pilot module is critical for proper ignition
and flame detection. The Earth Ground wire should run from the EGND terminal of the Ion Pilot card to
the pilot assembly. This wire should be connected to the burner housing. Use a multimeter to verify that
the burner housing has electrical continuity with the pilot assembly.

OPERATION
STARTING THE SYSTEM
From any screen on the UI, press the Start Key on the keypad. If there are alarms present, you will be
notified.
If no alarms are present, you will be prompted to confirm that you want to start. Press the OK key to
confirm or the Back key to cancel.
If you are on the Status Tab, the system will show a count down of 5 seconds (or more if the purge cycle
has not been completed). At the end of the countdown, the system will open the pilot valve, and ignite
the pilot with the ignition coil. The flame quality should go to 100% on the screen. Then the system will
begin its process control trying to maintain the process setpoint.
STOPPING THE SYSTEM
From any screen on the UI, press the Stop Key on the keypad.
You will be prompted to confirm that you want to stop. Press the OK key to confirm or the Back key to
cancel.
Note that the Stop function on the UI is not safety rated! It is provided as a convenience. This function
may be unavailable if the UI is offline, disconnected from the network, or otherwise incapacitated. If a
safety rated stop button is required, connect an appropriately rated mushroom switch to the ESD contact
on the BMS controller.

TROUBLESHOOTING
ETHERNET COMMUNICATIONS
BLUE POWER LEDS NEXT TO THE ETHERNET PORTS OF THE MODULES ARE OFF
1. Verify that the Ethernet cable is plugged in on both ends.
2. Check that the port supplying power has a Blue LED illuminated indicating that it is
currently supplying power.
3. Check that the Ethernet cable is wired correctly to the T568B standard. (use a standard
Ethernet cable tester)
4. Verify that the Ethernet cable is not cut or otherwise damaged.
5. Check all user replaceable fuses on the module.
GREEN LINK LEDS NEXT TO THE ETHERNET PORTS OF THE MODULES ARE OFF
1. Verify that the Ethernet cable is plugged in on both ends.
2. Check that the Ethernet cable is wired correctly to the T568B standard. (use a standard
Ethernet cable tester)
3. Verify that the Ethernet cable is not cut or otherwise damaged.
4. Ensure that all Ethernet switches in the system are wired correctly and receiving power
5. Ensure that there are no more than 4 cascaded Ethernet switches between any two
modules in the system
FLAME DETECTION
SYSTEM HAS VISIBLE FLAME BUT CANNOT DETECT IT
1. The flame rod, pilot assembly and the gap between them should be fully engulfed in
flame. If not, adjust the rod positioning.
2. Check that the flame detection wiring does not exceed the recommended maximum
length.
3. Check that the Ion+ wire is securely connected as per the appropriate wiring diagram.
4. Check that the ground connection between the PF3100 and the pilot assembly is
present and secure.
5. Put the PF3100 into Manual Mode and use the Review Menu to check the flame quality
level.
6. The PF3102-00C Ignition Module is designed to be mounted in the burner housing to
minimize the length of flame ionization wire required. Generally speaking, the shorter
the wire, the less problems you will experience.
7. Ensure that the ground wire from the pilot nozzle is connected to the ground terminal on
the ignition module.
8. If you need to use a long length of ignition wire, try increasing the flame detection gain
setting under the “Ignition” settings on the UI

SYSTEM ERRORS
The UI screen will display any shutdown messages, alarm codes, or warning messages that the system
is currently experiencing. For each of these entries, an explanation will accompany the system error.
Shutdown messages
These indicate the reason that the system last shutdown. In the event of a safety shutdown (ESD), the
system will shutdown in 1 second or less. The flame failure response time (FFRT) spans 2 seconds, after
which the system will initiate shutdown.
Alarm codes
These indicate a persistent problem that must be cleared before the system can be restarted.
Warning messages
These indicate a problem that may be developing or a condition from which the system may
automatically restart once cleared.
RESETTING TO DEFAULTS
The system settings can all be reset to factory defaults by following these instructions:
1. Make sure that the system is stopped.
2. Navigate to the “Reset to Factory Defaults” menu item.
3. Use the Arrow Keys to change the setting to “Yes” and then press the OK Key. The
system will display “Parameter Saved” and will reboot.
4. After rebooting, the system will display the message “CONFIGURATION RESET TO
DEFAULT” alternating with “Check Settings and Setpoints.”
5. Press the OK Key to acknowledge this warning.
This process only resets the user settings back to factory defaults and does not affect the calibration
settings.
