Delivery of the system and the instruction manual
When the system is delivered, it is important that:
The instruction manual is supplied to the user by the system
manufacturer, with the recommendation to keep it in the room
where the heat generator is to be installed.
The instruction manual shows:
– the serial number of the burner;
– the address and telephone number of the nearest Assis-
tance Centre;
The system supplier carefully informs the user about:
– the use of the system,
– any further tests that may be necessary before the system is
started up,
– maintenance and the need to have the system checked at
least once a year by the manufacturer or another specialised
technician.
To ensure a periodic check, the manufacturer recommends
the drawing up of a Maintenance Contract.

properly, immediately contact your qualifi ed service agency for
consultation.
We recommend annual inspection/service of your gas heating
system by a qualifi ed service agency.
Failure to follow these instructions, misuse, or incorrect adjust-
ment of the burner could lead to equipment malfunction and re-
sult in asphyxiation, explosion or fire.
WARNING
Failure to observe the information given in this man-
ual, operating negligence, incorrect installation and
the carrying out of non authorised modifications will
result in the annulment by the manufacturer of the
guarantee that it supplies with the burner.
WARNING
If you smell gas:
Do not touch any electrical items.
Open all windows.
Close all gas supply valves.
Contact your local gas authority immediately.
• Do not store flammable or hazardous materials
in the vicinity of fuel burning appliances.
• Improper installation, adjustment, alteration,
service or maintenance can cause property
damage, personal injury or death.
• Refer to this manual for instructional or addition-
al information.
• Consult a certified installer, service representa-
tive or the gas supplier for further assistance.
• Burner shall be installed in accordance with
manufacturers requirements as outlined in this
manual, local codes and authorities having ju-
risdiction.

Safety and prevention

2.1 Introduction
The burners have been designed and built in compliance with
current regulations and directives, applying the known technical
rules of safety and envisaging all the potential danger situations.
It is necessary, however, to bear in mind that the imprudent and
clumsy use of the equipment may lead to situations of death risk
for the user or third parties, as well as the damaging of the burn-
er or other items. Inattention, thoughtlessness and excessive
confidence often cause accidents; the same applies to tiredness
and sleepiness.
It is a good idea to remember the following:
The burner must only be used as expressly described.
Any other use should be considered improper and therefore
dangerous.
In particular:
it can be applied to boilers operating with water, steam,
diathermic oil, and to other users expressly named by the
manufacturer;
the type and pressure of the fuel, the voltage and frequency of
the electrical power supply, the minimum and maximum deliv-
eries for which the burner has been regulated, the pressurisa-
tion of the combustion chamber, the dimensions of the
combustion chamber and the room temperature must all be
within the values indicated in the instruction manual.
Modification of the burner to alter its performance and destina-
tions is not allowed.
The burner must be used in exemplary technical safety condi-
tions. Any disturbances that could compromise safety must be
quickly eliminated.
Opening or tampering with the burner components is not
allowed, apart from the parts requiring maintenance.
Only those parts envisaged by the manufacturer can be
replaced.
2.2 Personnel training
The user is the person, body or company that has acquired the
machine and intends to use it for the specific purpose. He is re-
sponsible for the machine and for the training of the people
working around it.
The user:
Undertakes to entrust the machine exclusively to suitably
trained and qualified personnel.
Must take all the measures necessary to prevent unauthorised
people gaining access to the machine.
Undertakes to inform his personnel in a suitable way about the
application and observance of the safety instructions. With
that aim, he undertakes to ensure that everyone knows the
use and safety instructions for his own duties.
Must inform the manufacturer if faults or malfunctioning of the
accident prevention systems are noticed, along with any pre-
sumed danger situation.
Personnel must always use the personal protective equipment
envisaged by legislation and follow the indications given in this
manual.
Personnel must follow all the danger and caution indications
shown on the machine.
Personnel must not carry out, on their own initiative, opera-
tions or interventions that are not within their province.
Personnel are obliged to inform their superiors of every prob-
lem or dangerous situation that may arise.
The assembly of parts of other makes, or any modifications,
can alter the characteristics of the machine and hence com-
promise operating safety. The manufacturer therefore
declines any and all responsibility for any damage that may
be caused by the use of non-original parts.

3.6 Firing rate
MAXIMUM OUTPUT must be selected in the hatched area of the
diagram (Fig. 3).
MINIMUM OUTPUT must not be lower than the minimum limit
shown in the diagram:
RL 300/E = 2272 MBtu/h
3.6.1 Modulation ratio
The modulation ratio, determined using test boilers, is 4 : 1.
3.7 Test boiler
The firing rates were set in relation to special test boilers.
Fig. 4 indicates the diameter and length of the test combustion
chamber.
Example:
Output 18.500 MBtu/hr - diameter 39.4 inch - length 16.5 ft.
WARNING
The firing rate area values have been obtained con-
sidering a surrounding temperature of 68 °F, and an
atmospheric pressure of 394 “WC (approx. 329 ft
above sea level) and with the combustion head ad-
justed as shown on page 20.
