FIRING RATES (A)
During operation, burner output varies between:
•aMAXIMUM OUTPUT, selected within area A,
•and a MINIMUM OUTPUT, which must not be lower
than the minimum limit in the diagram.
Important:
The FIRING RATE value range has been obtained con-
sidering an ambient temperature of 68 °F (20 °C), and
an atmospheric pressure of 394” WC and with the com-
bustion head adjusted as shown on page 8.
Note:
The FIRING RATE areas given in figure (A) have been
reduced by 10% with respect to the maximum range that
can be reached.
Consult Appendix on page 18 for operation at different
surrounding temperatures and/or altitudes.
MINIMUM FURNACE DIMENSIONS (B)
The firing rates were set in relation to certified test boil-
ers.
Figure (B) indicates the diameter and length of the test
combustion chamber.
Example:
output 1388 MBtu/hr:
diameter 19.7 inch - length 4.9 ft.
COMMERCIAL BOILERS (C) - IMPORTANT
The RS 45/M LN burner is suitable for operation on either
flame-inversion boilers or boilers with combustion cham-
bers featuring flow from the base (three flue passes) on
which the best results are obtained in terms of low NOx
emissions.
The maximum thickness of the boiler’s front door must
not exceed 8” (see fig. C).

GAS PRESSURE
The adjacent tables are used to calculate manifold pres-
sure taking into account combustion chamber pressure.
Column 1
Gas manifold pressure measured at test point 1)(B),
with:
• Combustion chamber at 0” WC
• Burner operating at maximum output
• Gas ring 2)(B)p.8 adjusted as indicated in diagram
(C)p. 8.
Calculate the approximate maximum output of the
burner as follows:
- subtract the combustion chamber pressure from the
gas pressure measured at test point 1)(B).
- Find the nearest pressure value to your result in col-
umn 1 of the table (A).
- Read off the corresponding output on the left.
Example - RS 45/M LN:
• Maximum output operation
• Natural gas
• Gas ring 2)(B)p.8 adjusted as indicated in diagram
(C)p.8.
• Gas pressure at test point 1)(B) = 3.69“ WC
• Pressure in combustion chamber = 0.79“ WC
3.69 - 0.79 = 2.90“ WC
A maximum output of 1023 MBtu/hr shown in table (A)
corresponds to 2.90” WC pressure, column 1.
This value serves as a rough guide, the effective deliv-
ery must be measured at the gas meter.

INSTALLATION
BURNER MOUNTING (A)
Drill the combustion chamber mounting plate as shown
in (A).
The position of the threaded holes can be marked using
the head gasket supplied with the burner.
BLAST TUBE LENGTH (B)
The length of the blast tube must be selected according
to the indications provided by the manufacturer of the
boiler, and it must be greater than the thickness of the
boiler door complete with its insulation. The lengths, L
(inches), are:
Blast tube 10): RS 45/M LN
• short 9
1/32”
• long 13 15/16”
Protective insulation material 11) must be inserted
between the boiler refractory 12) and the blast tube 10).
This protective insulation must not compromise the
extraction of the blast tube.
For boilers with a water-cooled front, the insulation fet-
tling 11)-12)(B) is not required unless it is required by
the boiler manufacturer.
SECURING THE BURNER TO THE BOILER (B)
Before securing the burner to the boiler, check through
the blast tube opening to make sure that the flame sen-
sor probe and the ignition electrode are correctly set in
position, as shown in (C).
Now detach the combustion head from the burner, fig.
(B):
- Remove screw 13) and withdraw the cover 14).
- Disengage the swivel coupling 4) from the graduated
sector 5).
- Remove the screws 2) from the slide bars 3).
- Remove screw 1) and pull the burner back on slide
bars 3) by about 4”.
- Disconnect the wires from the probe and the electrode
and then pull the burner completely off the slide bars,
after removing the split pin from the slide bar 3).
Secure the flange 9)(B) to the boiler plate, inserting the
head gasket 6)(B). Use the 4 screws, also supplied with
the unit, after first protecting the thread with an anti-seize
product.
The seal between burner and boiler must be airtight.
If you noticed any irregularities in the positions of the
probe or ignition electrode during the check mentioned
above, remove screw 1)(D), extract the internal part
2)(D) of the head and set up the two components cor-
rectly.
IGNITION PILOT ADJUSTMENT
Place the pilot and electrode as shown in fig. (C).
The pilot works correctly at pressures ranging from 5 -
12” WC.
Important
To set the pilot without main burner operation, proceed
as follows:
- Move the jumper from terminals "30-V11" to terminals
"30-VP", as given in fig. (E), this way the main valve is
not energized.
- With the burner in the manual position, hold the air
damper in the minimum position and make the setting.
- When the setting is correct, replace the jumper on “30-
V11”.

COMBUSTION HEAD ADJUSTMENT
Installation operations are now at the stage where the
blast tube and sleeve are secured to the boiler as shown
in fig. (A). It is now a very simple matter to set up the
combustion head, as this depends solely on the output
developed by the burner at maximum power.
It is therefore essential to establish this value before pro-
ceeding to set up the combustion head.
There are three adjustments to make on the head:
• outside air R1;
• central air R2;
• gas deliveries R3.
In diagram (C) find the notch to use for adjusting the air
and the gas, and then proceed as follows:
Outside air adjustment R1 (A)
Turn screw 4)(A) until the notch identified is aligned with
the front surface 5)(A) of the flange.
Gas adjustment R3 (B)
Loosen screws 1)(B) and 4)(B) and turn ring 2) until the
notch identified is aligned with index 3).
Central air adjustment R2 (B)
Turn choke 5) until the notch identified is aligned with
screw 4).
Tighten the screws 1) and 4) fully down.
Example
Burner output = 1515 MBtu/hr.
If we consult diagram (C) we find that for this output, the
adjustments are:
• outside air: R1 = 5,3;
• central air: R2 = 2,7;
• gas: R3 = 0,7.
Once you have finished setting up the head, refit the
burner 4)(D) to the slide bars 3) at approximately 4” from
the sleeve 5) - burner positioned as shown in fig. (B)p. 7
- insert the flame rod cable and the ignition electrode
cable and then slide the burner up to the sleeve so that it
is positioned as shown in fig. (D).
Refit screws 2) on slide bars 3).
Secure the burner to the sleeve by tightening screw 1)
and then refit the split pin into one of two slide bars 3).
Reconnect the swivel connector 8) to the graduated sec-
tor 7).
Connect gas train and pilot train as shown in fig. (A)
page 9.
Important
When fitting the burner on the two slide bars, it is advis-
able to gently draw out the high tension cable and flame
detection probe cable until they are slightly stretched.

GAS PIPING
• The main gas train must be connected to the gas
attachment 1)(A), using flange 2), gasket 3) and
screws 4) supplied with the burner.
• The main gas train can enter the burner from the right
or left side, depending on which is the most conven-
ient, see fig.(A).
• Gas safety shut-off valves 5)-6)(B) must be as close
as possible to the burner to ensure gas reaches the
combustion head within the safety time range.
• The pilot gas train must be connected to the gas
attachment 5)(A) and can enter the burner from the
right or left side.
GAS TRAIN (B)
It must be type-approved according to required local-
standards and is supplied separately from the burner.

ADJUSTMENTS BEFORE FIRST FIRING
Adjustment of the combustion head, and air and gas
deliveries has been illustrated on page 8.
In addition, the following adjustments must also be
made:
- Open manual valves on the gas train.
- Adjust the low gas pressure switch to the start of the
scale (A).
- Adjust the air pressure switch to the zero position of
the scale (B).
- Purge the air from the gas line.
- Fit a U-type manometer (C) to the gas pressure test
point on the sleeve.
The manometer readings are used to calculate MAX.
burner power using the tables on page 6.
Before starting up the burner it is good practice to adjust
the gas train so that ignition takes place in conditions of
maximum safety, i.e. with gas delivery at the minimum.
SERVOMOTOR (C)
The servomotor provides simultaneous adjustment of
the air damper, by means of the variable profile cam,
and the gas butterfly valve.
The angle of rotation of the servomotor is equal to the
angle on the graduated sector controlling the gas butter-
fly valve. The servomotor rotates through 90 degrees in
25 seconds.
Do not alter the factory setting for the cams; simply
check that they are set as indicated below:
Red cam : 90°
Limits rotation toward maximum position.
When the burner is at max output the gas butterfly valve
must be fully open: 90°.
Blue cam : 0°
Limits rotation toward the minimum position. When the
burner is shut down the air damper and the gas butterfly
valve must be closed: 0°.
Orange cam : 15°
Adjusts the ignition position and the MIN output.
BURNER STARTING
Close the control circuit and set switch 1)(E) to “MAN”.
As soon as the burner starts check the direction of rota-
tion of the fan blade, looking through the flame inspec-
tion window 18)(A)p.4.
BURNER FIRING
Having completed the checks indicated in the previous
heading, the pilot of the burner should fire. If the motor
starts but the flame does not appear and the flame safe-
guard goes into lock-out, reset and wait for a new firing
attempt.
Pilot adjustment has been illustrated on page. 7.
Having adjusted the pilot, reconnect the main valve and
ignite the main flame; it might require several attempts
to purge the air from the gas lines or to adjust the valve
with little gas.
Once the burner has fired, now proceed with calibration
operations.

BURNER CALIBRATION
The optimum calibration of the burner requires an analy-
sis of the flue gases at the boiler outlet.
Adjust successively:
1 - First firing output
2 - Max. burner output
3 - Min. burner output
4 - Intermediate outputs between low and high fire
5 - Air pressure switch
6 - Minimum gas pressure switch
1 - FIRING OUTPUT
Pilot adjustment has been illustrated on page. 7.
2 - MAXIMUM OUTPUT
Maximum output of the burner must be set within the fir-
ing rate range shown on page 5.
In the above instructions we left the burner running in
MIN. output operation. Now press switch 2)(A) “increase
output” and keep it pressed until the servomotor has
opened the air damper and the gas butterfly valve to
90°.
Gas calibration
Measure the gas delivery at the meter.
A guideline indication can be calculated from the table on
page 6, simply read off the gas pressure on the U-type
manometer, see fig.(C) on page 10, and follow the
instructions on page 6.
- If delivery needs to be reduced, reduce outlet gas
pressure and, if it is already very low, slightly close
adjustment valve.
- If delivery needs to be increased, increase outlet gas
pressure.

Adjusting air delivery
Progressively adjust the end profile of cam 4)(A) by turn-
ing the cam adjustment screws as they appear through
the access opening 6)(A).
- Turn the screws clockwise to increase air delivery.
- Turn the screws counter-clockwise to reduce air deliv-
ery.
3 - MINIMUM OUTPUT
Minimum output must be selected within the firing rate
range shown on page 5.
Press switch 2)(A)p.11 “output reduction” until the servo-
motor has closed the air damper and the gas butterfly
valve to 15° (factory set adjustment).
Adjusting gas delivery
Measure the delivery of gas from the gas meter.
- If this value is to be reduced, decrease the angle of
orange cam (B) slightly by proceeding a little at a time
until the angle is changed from 15° to 13° or 11°....
- If it has to be increased press the switch “output
increase” 2)(A)p.11 (i.e. open the gas butterfly valve
by 10-15°), increase the orange cam angle (B) with
small successive movements, i.e. take it from angle
15° to 17° - 19°....
Then press the switch “output decrease” until the ser-
vomotor is taken to the minimum opening position and
measure the gas delivery.
Note
The servomotor follows the adjustment of cam only
when the cam angle is reduced. If it is necessary to
increase the cam angle, first increase the servomotor
angle with the switch “output increase”, then increase
the orange cam angle, and at the end bring the servo-
motor back to the MIN output position with the switch
”output decrease”.
Adjustment of air delivery
Progressively adjust the starting profile of cam 4)(A) by
turning the screws working throught the access hole
6)(A).
4 - INTERMEDIATE OUTPUTS
Adjustment of gas delivery
No adjustment of gas delivery is required.
Adjustment of air delivery
With the switch 1)(A) page 11 move in intermediate out-
puts and set the variable profile cam 4) by turning the
screws 5).
- If the burner operation is low-high it is sufficient to set
only minimum and maximum firing rates
- If the burner operation is modulating, all the points of
modulation should be adjusted.
When the adjustment is complete, release the servomo-
tor and manually check there is no binding of the cam.

5 - AIR PRESSURE SWITCH (A) - CO CHECK
Adjust the air pressure switch after having performed all
other burner adjustments with the air pressure switch set
to the start of the scale (A).
With the burner operating at min. output, increase adjust-
ment pressure by slowly turning the relative dial clock-
wise until the burner locks out.
Then turn the dial anti-clockwise by about 20% of the set
point and repeat burner starting to ensure it is correct.
If the burner locks out again, turn the dial anti-clockwise
a little bit more.
Attention:
As a rule, the air pressure switch must prevent the forma-
tion of CO.
To check this, insert a combustion analyser into the
chimney, slowly close the fan suction inlet (for example
with cardboard) and check that the burner locks out,
before the CO in the fumes exceeds 400 ppm.
The air pressure switch may operate in "differential"
operation in two pipe system. If a negative pressure in
the combustion chamber during pre-purging prevents
the air pressure switch from switching, switching may be
obtained by fitting a second pipe between the air pres-
sure switch and the suction inlet of the fan. In this way
the air pressure switch operates as differential pressure
switch.
6 - LOW GAS PRESSURE SWITCH (B)
Adjust the low gas pressure switch after having per-
formed all the other burner adjustments with the pressure
switch set at the start of the scale (B).
With the burner operating at MAX output, increase ad-
justment pressure by slowly turning the relative dial
clockwise until the burner locks out.
Then turn the dial anti-clockwise by 0.8” WC and repeat
burner starting to ensure it is uniform.
If the burner locks out again, turn the dial anti-clockwise
again by 0.4” WC.
FLAME PRESENT CHECK (C)
The burner is fitted with an ionisation system (flame rod)
which ensures that a flame is present. The minimum
current for operation is 6 µA. (or see appropriate docu-
mentation of flame safeguard manufacturer)
The burner provides a much higher current, so that con-
trols are not normally required. However, if it is neces-
sary to measure the ionisation current, disconnect the
plug-socket 21)(A)p.4 on the ionisation probe cable and
insert a direct current microamperometer with a base
scale of 100 µA.
Carefully check polarities!

MAINTENANCE
Combustion
The optimum calibration of the burner requires an analy-
sis of the flue gases. Significant differences with respect
to the previous measurements indicate the points where
more care should be exercised during maintenance.
Gas leaks
Make sure that there are no gas leaks on the pipework
between the gas meter and the burner.
Flame inspection window
Clean the flame inspection window (A).
Combustion head
Open the burner and make sure that all components of
the combustion head are in good condition, not
deformed by the high temperatures, free of impurities
from the surroundings and correctly positioned. If in
doubt, disassemble the elbow fitting 7)(B).
Servomotor
Disengage the cam from servomotor and turn it back-
ward and forward by hand to make sure it is free mov-
ing. Now engage cam again.
Burner
Check for excess wear or loose screws in the mecha-
nisms controlling the air damper and the gas butterfly
valve. Also make sure that the screws securing the elec-
trical leads in the burner connections are fully tightened.
Clean the outside of the burner, taking special care with
the linkages joints and cam.
Combustion
Adjust the burner if the combustion values found at the
beginning of the operation do not comply with the regu-
lations in force, or do not correspond to good combus-
tion.
TO OPEN THE BURNER (B):
- Switch off the electrical power.
- Remove screw 1) and withdraw cover 2).
- Disengage the swivel coupling 3) from the graduated
sector 4).
- Remove screw 5), the split pin 9) and pull the burner
back by about 4” on the slide bars 6).
- Disconnect the probe and electrode leads and then
pull the burner fully back.
- Turn the burner as shown in the figure and fit the split
pin 9) into one of the slide bar holes so that the burner
remains in position.
Now extract the gas distributor 7) after having removed
the screw 8) and disconnecting the pilot gas line.
TO CLOSE THE BURNER (B):
- Remove the split pin 9) and push the burner until it is
about 4” from the sleeve.
- Re-connect the leads and slide in the burner until it
comes to a stop.
- Refit screw 5), the split pin 9) and pull the probe and
electrode leads gently out until they are slightly
stretched.

qualified personnel.
Riello S.p.A. cannot accept any responsibility for modifications or connections other than those shown in these diagrams.
Field Wiring Connections
• The RS 45/M LN burners have been type- approved for intermittent operation. This means they should compulsorily be stopped at least
once every 24 hours to enable the flame safeguard to check its own efficiency at start-up. Burner halts are normally provided for auto-
matically by the boiler load control system.
If this is not the case, a time switch should be fitted in series to IN to provide for burner shut-down at least once every 24 hours.

Important note
When installing for the first time and after any maintenance work, make sure the gas valves are connected properly to the
orange terminals before proceeding to ignite the burner. Insert auxiliary lamps or check, with the aid of a tester, that power
is not being supplied to the valves during standby or pre-purging. Burner ignition with the gas valves open during pre-
purging may cause the generator to burst.
- Do not invert the neutral with the phase wire in the electricity supply line.
- Only use original spare parts to replace the components.

The FIRING RATE area values have been obtained considering a surround-
ing temperature of 68°F (20°C), and an atmospheric pressure of 398” W.C.
and with the combustion head adjusted as shown on page 8.
The burner may be required to operate with combustion air at a higher tem-
perature and/or at higher altitudes.
Heating of air and increase in altitude produce the same effect: the expan-
sion of the air volume, i.e. the reduction of air density.
The burner fan's delivery remains substantially the same, but the oxygen
content per cubic meter and the fan's head are reduced.
It is therefore important to know if the maximum output required of the burner
at a given combustion chamber pressure remains within the burner's firing rate range even at different temperature and altitude con-
ditions. Proceed as follows to check the above:
1-Find the correction factor F in the Table (A) for the plant's air temperature and altitude.
2-Divide the burner's delivery Q by F in order to obtain the equivalent delivery Qe:
3-In the firing rate range of the burner, Fig. (B), indicate the work point defined by:
Qe = equivalent delivery
H1 = combustion chamber pressure
The resulting point A must remain within the firing rate range.
4-Plot a vertical line from Point A as shown in Figure (B) and find the maximum pressure H2 of the firing rate.
5-Multiply H2 by F to obtain the maximum reduced pressure H3 of the firing rate.
If H3 is greater than H1, as shown in Fig. (B), the burner delivers the output required.
If H3 is lower than H1, the burner's delivery must be reduced. A reduction in delivery is accompanied by a reduction of the pressure in
the combustion chamber:
Qr = reduced delivery
H1r = reduced pressure
Example, a 5% delivery reduction:
Qr = Q x 0.95
H1r = H1 x (0.95)2
Steps 2 - 5 must now be repeated using the new Qr and H1r values.
Important: the combustion head must be adjusted in respect to the equivalent delivery Qe.
Qe = Q : F (MBtu/hr)
H3= H2x F (“W.C.)

BURNER OPERATION
BURNER STARTING
• Operating closes.
Fan motor starts.
• Servomotor starts:
90° rotation to right, until contact is made on red cam.
The air damper is positioned to MAX. output.
• Pre-purge stage with air delivery at MAX. output.
• After pre-purge stage, servomotor rotates to left up to
the angle set on blu cam for MIN. output.
• The air damper and the gas butterfly are positioned to
MIN. output.
• Ignition electrode strikes a spark.
• Pilot valve opens. The pilot flame is ignited.
• After about 12s the main flame ignites and starting
cycle ends.
STEADY STATE OPERATION
Burner without modulating control RWF40
At the end of the starting cycle, the servomotor control
then passes to the load control for boiler pressure or
temperature.
(The flame safeguard continues, however, to check that
the flame is present and that the air pressure switch is in
the correct position.)
• If the temperature or pressure is low, the burner pro-
gressively increases its output to the MAX. value.
• If the temperature or pressure is high, the burner pro-
gressively decreases its output to the MIN. value.
And so on.
• The burner locks out when demand for heat is less
than the heat supplied by the burner at min. output.
Load control opens. The servomotor returns to the 0°
angle limited by contact with orange cam. The air
damper closes completely to reduce thermal disper-
sion to a minimum.
Every time output is changed, the servomotor automati-
cally modifies gas delivery (gas butterfly valve) and air
delivery (fan damper).
