2.5 Control box

The EBR-M1 control box, controls and monitors the forced draught burner. The microprocessor-
controlled program sequence ensures maximum stability of time periods, regardless of fluctuations
in the power supply or ambient temperature.
The design of the control box protects it from the effects of flame outs. Whenever the supply
voltage drops below its rated minimum level (170 ± 8 V), the control box shuts down - even in the
absence of a fault signal.
The control box switches itself back on again once the voltage has exceeded the 190 ± 8 V.

–– At the end of the preventilation period, the fuel-oil solenoid valve opens and the burner starts.
–– The ignition transformer remains switched off while the burner is in operation.

13/64
EN General

2.6.2 Controlled shutdown

–– Boiler temperature control interrupts heat request.
–– The fuel-oil solenoid valve closes and the flame is extinguished.
–– The post-ventilation starts: time factory-set at 30 s. After the burner motor switches off.
–– Burner enters standby.

2.6.3 Safety function

A safety shutdown occurs:
–– if a flame signal is present during preventilation (flame monitoring)
–– if no flame is produced within 5 seconds (safety time) of start-up (fuel authorisation)
–– if no flame is produced after an unsuccessful restart attempt in the event of 5 flame failures
during operation.

A safety shutdown is indicated by the malfunction lamp lighting up and it is then only possible to
reset the burner by pressing the reset button after the cause of the malfunction has been rectified.

5.5.1 Burner start

Before starting the burner, draw oil in until the filter is completely filled. Then start the burner by
creating a heat demand on the boiler (refer to boiler installation manual). Open the bleed screw
on the oil filter to allow the oil line to bleed fully during the preventilation phase. The negative
pressure (vacuum) must not fall below 0.4 bar. Close the bleed screw when the filter is completely
filled with oil and oil is flowing out without bubbles. Boiler has to maintain in operation at least 15
min. or reach a steady condition of operation, then check the combustion values.
5.5.2 Burner adjustment
Use the pressure regulator to adjust the oil pressure in accordance with the table (tab.1). Monitor
the combustion values continuously as you do so (CO, CO2, smoke test). Adjust the airflow
gradually if necessary. Operating on air flap setting.

5.6 Oil pressure setting

5.6.1 Oil pressure setting

The oil pressure, and therefore burner output, is adjusted using oil pressure regulator (7), see
“Fig. 34”, on the pump.
Sequence to adjust the oil pressure:
–– connect a pressure gauge at point (8).
Turn the regulator screw (7) to:
–– right: to increase pressure.
–– left: to reduce pressure.
–– verify the correct pressure with the pressure gauge.
At the end of adjustment.
–– to disconnect the pressure gauge.
–– to tight the plug (8).
5.6.2 Checking negative pressure
The vacuum gauge for checking negative pressure must be connected to point (4). Maximum
permissible negative pressure is 0.4 bar check the oil supply in case those pressures cannot be
achieved. At higher negative pressures, the fuel oil gasifies, which causes pump cavitation in the
pump and ultimately leads to pump damage.
5.6.3 Cleaning the pump filter
To be able to clean the filter (H), it is necessary to remove the pump cover.
Check the pump cover seal and replace the gasket if necessary.

10 APPENDIX

10.1 Use of bio fuel blends

The burner is suitable for kerosene with a biofuel content of up to 10%. It is a minimum requirement
that the fuel blend (up to 10% Biofuel) is obtained with kerosene in accordance with the relevant
standards, regional regulations and FAME in accordance with EN 14214.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
In the event that the burner needs to be used with fuels containing biofuel percentages higher
than 10%, contact the manufacturer.

10.2 Important advice for the use of bio fuel blends

10.2.1 Introduction
The growing attention focussed on renewable and sustainable energy sources would suggest an
ever-increasing use of biofuels.

If you plan to make use of these fuels, you need to consider several technical aspects in order to
reduce the potential for faults in the burner and heating system and the risk of fuel leaks.
The term ‘liquid Biofuel’ is a broad definition that includes oils made from numerous different
raw materials, including recycled cooking oil. These types of oil must be considered and treated
differently from common mineral and fossil fuels. This is because they are more acidic, hygroscopic
and less stable.

Particular care should be taken in the storage of this fuel, in the supply pipe, in the ancillary
equipment, in the filtration and in the choice of burner.

The classification of the biofuel is important for the smooth operation of the equipment.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
The proprietor or the system manager is responsible for the detailed analysis of potential risks
associated with the introduction of a mixture of biofuels and the suitability of the devices and
installation.

10.2.2 General instructions and information

The supplier of the fuel must demonstrate compliance with an accredited quality management
system for their storage, mixing and delivery processes.

During installation, make sure that all the materials and sealing devices used on the storage tank
and oil delivery pipe to the burner are compatible with biofuels.

The tank must have a good quality biofuel-compatible oil filter and a 60 micron secondary filter to
protect the burner from contaminants.

61/64
EN Appendix

Wherever an existing tank is to be used to store the oil, in addition to the above mentioned checks
on the materials, it is essential that the tank is first inspected to verify its condition and check for
the presence of water or other contaminants. If contaminants are found, a deep clean should be
carried out. If this is not carried out the hygroscopic nature of the fuel could dissolve and detach
complex components and cause faults in the equipment.

Based on the capacity of the storage tank and how the system is used, fuels can be stored
inside it for a considerable amount of time. Consult your biofuel distributor for the use of biocidal
products to prevent microbial growth inside the tanks and for instructions on fuel filtering.

During the commissioning of the burner, check that all combustion parameters are compliant with
the recommendations in the technical manual for the appliance.
Check the filters on the burner oil pipe and oil pump, and if necessary replace them:
–– at least every 4 months during burner use
–– before starting the burner following a long period of disuse
–– more often in the event of contamination.

CAUTION
Pay particular attention during the check and inspection to detecting fuel leaks from sealing
CAUTION devices, gaskets and hoses.

CAUTION
IF Bio fuel is used consult your Bio fuel distributor.
