Warning notes
To avoid personal injury or damage to property or the environment, the following
warning notes must be observed.

Do not open, interfere with, or modify the unit.

∂ All activities (mounting, installation, service, etc.) must be performed by qualified

staff.
∂ Before making any wiring changes in the connection area, completely isolate the
plant from mains supply (all-polar disconnection). Ensure that the plant cannot be
inadvertently switched on again and that it is indeed dead. If this is not observed,
there is a risk of electric shock
∂ Take suitable measures to provide protection against accidental contact at the
electrical connections. If this is not observed, there is a risk of electric shock
∂ Press the lockout reset button / operation button of the LFS1 or the AGK20 lockout
reset button extension only manually (applying a force of ′10 N) without using any
tools or pointed objects. If this is not observed, there is a risk of loss of safety
functions and a risk of electric shock
∂ Units must not be put into operation after a fall or shock, as this can adversely affect
the safety functions even if the units do not exhibit any external signs of damage. If
this is not observed, there is a risk of loss of safety functions and a risk of electric
shock
∂ Each time work has been carried out (mounting, installation, service, etc.), check
that the wiring is correct. If this is not observed, there is a risk of loss of safety
functions and a risk of electric shock
∂ The mains-powered ionization probe does not offer protection against electric shock
hazards. Protection against accidental contact must be ensured. If this is not
observed, there is a risk of electric shock
∂ An ignited UV tube is a source of UV radiation.
If the flame is supervised by optical flame detectors, both detectors must be placed
in a way that ensures there is no direct visual contact between them. If this is not
observed, there is a risk of loss of safety functions
∂ Connection of UV flame detectors QRA2M and QRA10M is only permitted if
additional module AGK30 is used. Additional module AGK30 must always be
connected within plug-in base AGK11.7 in terminal areas 1…7. If this is not
observed, there is a risk of loss of safety functions and a risk of electric shock
∂ The data line for the AZL2 or other accessories, such as the OCI410 (plugs into the
BCI interface), must only be connected or disconnected when the unit is dead (all-
polar disconnection), since the BCI interface does not ensure safe separation from
the mains voltage. If this is not observed, there is a risk of electric shock
∂ Intermittent operation: For safety reasons – self-test of the flame supervision circuit,
etc. – at least one controlled shutdown must take place every 24 hours for
applications with LFS1.2... and UV flame detectors QRA2 / QRA2M / QRA4 /
QRA4M / QRA10 / QRA10M. If this is not observed, there is a risk of loss of safety
functions
∂ The separating element supplied can be installed in the area between connection
terminals 9, 10, 11, and 12, and the other terminals (1...7) as a means of achieving
double insulation; refer to the Installation notes chapter. It is particularly important
that the wiring is handled and installed correctly and as specified in the area around
the terminals. If this is not observed, there is a risk of loss of safety functions and a
risk of electric shock
∂ The 0...10 V voltage output terminal 7 is not double-insulated from the mains
voltage. It is important to bear this in mind when selecting measuring equipment (at
least CAT III). If this is not observed, there is a risk of electric shock

Life cycle
The flame safeguard has a designed life cycle* of 250,000 burner startup cycles which,
under normal operating conditions in heating mode and nominal switching loads,
corresponds to approx. 10 years of service (starting from the date of manufacture on
the nameplate). For industrial applications with reduced switching loads of a maximum
of 0.1 A, the flame safeguard has an increased designed life cycle* of up to 1,000,000
burner startup cycles.

This life cycle is based on the endurance tests specified in standards EN 13611 and EN
298. A summary of the conditions has been published by the European Control
Manufacturers Association (Afecor) (www.afecor.org).

* The designed life cycle is based on use of the flame safeguard according to the
manufacturer’s data sheet. In this case, it is advisable to perform a safety check or
replace the unit. The designed life cycle is not the warranty time specified in the
Terms of Delivery.

Installation notes
∂ Always run the high-voltage ignition cables separately from the unit and other
cables while observing the greatest possible distances
∂ When wiring, ensure that there is enough free space for the BCI connection jack
∂ Do not mix up phase and neutral conductors

Note!
For use in power supply systems with non-grounded neutral conductors!
Power supply systems with earthed neutral conductors form the basis of the
diagrams and circuit diagrams of the LFS1 in this Data Sheet. In power supply
Β systems with non-earthed neutral conductors, terminal 2 of the LFS1 must be
connected to the earth conductor via the RC unit ARC 4 668 9066 0 for ionization
current supervision. It must be made certain that local regulations are complied with
(e.g., protection against electric shock) since 120 V AC (50 / 60 Hz) or 230 V AC (50
/ 60 Hz) mains voltage produces peak leakage currents of 2.7 mA.

Note!
Double insulation.
The flame safeguards LFS1 and the terminal bases AGK11.7 including separating
plate element are double-insulated between the terminal areas 1...7 and 9...12. This
means that they feature strengthened insulation; refer also to the Technical data
chapter.
Β If the double insulation needs to be present up to the connected components, the
separating plate element included in the scope of delivery of the AGK11.7 must be
installed in all cases (marked with an arrow in the figure below). As an alternative,
other suitable measures can also be put in place. Safe separation can only be
ensured if all connected components are fitted with a safe separation facility and the
components have been wired as specified. In particular, compliance with the relevant
warning notes must be ensured.

Separating plate element

7782z04en/1215

Note!
When using QRA2M and QRA10M!
Connect additional module AGK30 in accordance with connection diagram 7782a14.

Β The ground terminal of plug-in base AGK11.7 (symbol ) must be permanently

connected to the burner ground. Additional module AGK30 must always be
connected within plug-in base AGK11.7 in terminal areas 1…7.
If this is not observed, there is a risk of loss of safety functions and a risk of electric
shock.

Electrical connection of the flame detectors
It is important to achieve practically disturbance-free and loss-free signal transmission:
∂ Never run detector cables together with other cables
– Line capacitance has an impact on the flame signal
– Use a separate cable
∂ The ionization probe does not offer protection against electric shock
∂ Position the ignition electrode and the ionization probe so that the ignition spark
cannot arc over to the ionization probe; risk of electrical overloads
∂ Observe the permissible detector cable lengths; refer to the Technical data
∂ Mount and adjust the flame detector so that it only detects the flame to be
supervised in each case
∂ Connection of UV flame detectors QRA2M and QRA10M is only permitted if
additional module AGK30 is used
∂ Protect the UV cell adequately against the following UV sources: halogen lamps,
welding equipment, special lamps, ignition sparks, as well as high-energy X-rays
and gamma rays
∂ Polarity or short circuit at the connection terminals of the RAR9 does not lead to a
flame signal
∂ Polarity at the connection terminals of UV flame detectors QRA2 / QRA2M / QRA4
/ QRA4M / QRA10 / QRA10M does not lead to a flame signal.
A short circuit at the connection terminals of UV flame detectors QRA2 / QRA2M /
QRA4 / QRA4M / QRA10 / QRA10M leads to:
- Fault code LOC10: at operating level (terminal 6 of the LFS1 active)
- No flame signal: test level (terminal 6 of the LFS1 inactive)
∂ In general the terminal 5 of LFS1 must not be grounded! When replacing a LFE10
by a LFS1.2 it is particularly important that the ground connection has to be
removed from terminal 10 at the terminal base of LFE10. The ground connection of
QRA10 has to remain unaltered in order to ensure the protection class 1.
∂ If the ionization electrode connected to the burner ground short-circuits, there is no
flame signal

Disposal notes
The flame safeguard contains electrical and electronic components and must not be
disposed of together with domestic waste.
Local and currently valid legislation must be complied with.

Design
Microprocessor-based flame safeguards LFS1 have a plug-in design and consist of the
LFS1 features
power supply section, flame signal amplifier, and flame relay with potential-free
contacts.
There is also an operating button with an integrated LED signal lamp, which is located
under a viewing window. The LED is used to provide a multicolor indication of error
status and operational status messages, concerning flame signal strength, for instance.
The flame signal strength can also be measured as a 0...10 V DC signal using a
commercially available voltmeter (at least CAT III) at terminal 7.

Communicating via the BCI interface:

On the underside of the LFS1 in the base area, there is a communication interface (BCI
interface), which is used to change parameters or provide a numerical indication of the
flame signal. When the display and operating unit AZL2 is connected, it is possible to
change parameters such as the flame signal flame-on and flame-out response times. In
addition, the flame signal strength can also be displayed permanently during
continuous burner operation.

Using with the control unit LEC1:

The electrical circuit of the LFS1 is intrinsically safe and, in conjunction with the control
unit LEC1, is tested for proper functioning each time the burner is started up. An
automatic extraneous light test is performed by increasing the sensitivity of the amplifier
during the burner off and purging times of the control unit LEC1. An automatic flame
detector test is performed by increasing the operating voltage of the UV tubes during
the burner off and purging times of the control unit LEC1.
In the case of applications with other control units – such as programmable logic
controllers – the extraneous light test can be activated via the control input at terminal
6. This is not required for ionization supervision.

Undervoltage ∂ Flame OFF signal: From operating position if mains voltage drops lower than
approx. 80 V AC (at UN = 120 V AC)
∂ Flame ON signal: Restart is initiated if mains voltage exceeds approx. 85 V AC (at
UN = 120 V AC)
∂ Flame OFF signal: From operating position if mains voltage drops lower than
approx. 165 V AC (at UN = 230 V AC)
∂ Flame ON signal: Restart is initiated if mains voltage exceeds approx. 170 V AC (at
UN = 230 V AC)

Overvoltage No shutdown if the voltage limit exceeds UN +10%.

Ionization probe (must be supplied by customer) ---

Using an ionization Flame supervision by making use of the electrical conductivity of the flame in
probe conjunction with the rectifying effect is only possible with gas and blue-flame burners.
Since the flame signal amplifier responds only to the DC component of the flame signal
(ionization current), a short circuit between the flame detector and functional earth
cannot simulate a flame signal.
Single-electrode operation, i.e., ignition and supervision with a single electrode, is not
possible. Do not activate the test mode switchover using terminal 6 during flame
supervision with ionization probes. Terminal 6 must be connected directly to the phase
conductor at terminal 1 in this case.

Using an ionization It is possible to connect an ionization probe and a UV flame detector QRA to the
probe and a UV flame LFS1.2... at the same time. The flame assessment behaves as follows:

Type summary and ordering information (cont’d)

Note on parameterization:
Use the display and operating unit (display) AZL2 to ensure that the exact value of the required time is
always set as multiples of increments of 0.147 seconds. When parameterizing minimum or maximum
times, a potential tolerance of ±7% must be taken into consideration.

The following applies to minimum values: At least one value which is 7% greater must be
parameterized.
The following applies to maximum values: At least one value which is 7% smaller must be
parameterized.

Example 1: The flame signal flame-out response time tab must not be set above 5 seconds
Calculation: (5 seconds – 1 second) – 7% = 3.65 seconds

Value to be parameterized
(parameter 217.01): Must be the same as or smaller than the calculated value (e.g., 3.528 seconds)

Example 2: The flame signal flame-on response time tan must be set to at least 5 seconds
Calculation: (5 seconds – 0.3 seconds) + 7% = 5.05 seconds

Value to be parameterized
(parameter 217.00): Must be the same as or greater than the calculated value (e.g., 5.145 seconds)

Function
Basic mode of operation of the flame safeguards in conjunction with control unit
LEC1.

When used with the LEC1, the flame safeguard feeds the flame signal into the burner
control’s control program in essentially the same way as if the flame safeguard were a
component of the burner control (as in the case of an oil or gas burner control). In the
event of non-ignition, loss of flame during burner operation, or a faulty flame signal
during burner off or purging times, the burner will always be shut down and the burner
control will initiate lockout. The switching functions needed to feed the flame signal into
the burner control’s control circuit are provided by the flame relay (FR) of the flame
safeguard and the 2 auxiliary relays (HR1 / HR2) of the control unit LEC1; refer to Data
Sheet N7761.

In conjunction with the flame safeguard LFS1, the control unit LEC1 provides the
sequence control for the flame simulation test and the flame detector test on the LFS1.

The test is controlled via the connecting line between terminal 15 of the control unit
LEC1 and terminal 6 of the flame safeguard LFS1.

Both tests
∂ start about 7 seconds after a controlled shutdown
∂ are continued during burner off periods
∂ are continued during the ensuing prepurge time
∂ end 3 seconds before the start of the safety time

The following flame signals during this test time lead to lockout with interlocking of the
control unit LEC1:
- Extraneous light
- Aging flame detectors
- Other defects in the flame supervision equipment

In the flame safeguard, the switching functions required for testing are performed by the
auxiliary relay (HR).
Since it is not necessary to carry out a test in the case of flame supervision with an
ionization probe, the connecting line between terminal 15 of the burner control and
terminal 6 of the flame safeguard is not required here.
Instead, terminal 6 must be connected to the phase.

Example:
By making a connection to terminal 1 of the LEC1

Any flame signal – be it a normal flame signal during operation or a faulty signal – is
indicated by the signal lamp (3-colored LED) in the housing of the flame safeguard;
refer to Indication and diagnostics chapter.

Mode of operation of the flame safeguards with dual supervision (detailed connection diagram, e.g., for oil
burners)
With this type of supervision, 1 flame is supervised by 2
independently operating flame safeguards. The aim is to
reduce the possibility of loss of flame during operation, in
the case of a simultaneous failure of both flame
safeguards, to an unlikely coincidence. With dual
supervision, the control contacts of the flame relays of
both flame safeguards are connected in series so that
loss of the flame signal of either of the flame
safeguards is sufficient to cause lockout of the burner.
A faulty flame signal by only 1 of the 2 flame safeguards
during burner off times or purging times also leads to
lockout.

Mode of operation of the flame safeguards when used for the supervision of 2 manually controlled burners
With this type of supervision, too, the burner can be
started only if the flame detector test or flame simulation
test has been successful. This means that neither of the
2 flame safeguards may detect a flame signal during
0 burner off times. When the burner is started up, the
detector test will automatically be interrupted. When
button (I) is pressed, relay (d) is energized via circuit path

hr1 HR relay (d) is now maintained in its energized condition via
6 9 11 2 circuit path 11...12 of the 2 flame relays.
d When the button (I) is released, the ignition will be
switched off, thus completing the startup sequence.
If the event of loss of flame on 1 of the burners, the
L2
respective flame relay is deenergized, thereby
neutralizing the holding circuit for relay (d). This means
7782a10en/0416
that the fuel valves of both burners will immediately be
shut.
The burners are switched off manually be pressing the
button (0), or automatically by the control thermostat or
pressurestat / pressure switch in the phase wire
connection.
In the case of flame supervision with ionization probes,
terminal 6 of the flame safeguards must be connected
directly to the phase since no detector test is required
here.

Example:
With a connection to terminal 1.

Note!
Β Ensure that the drop-out delay time of relay d does not exceed 50 ms; refer to
connection example 7782a06.

Mode of operation of the flame safeguards in the case of multiflame supervision with LEC1 (detailed
connection diagram, e.g., for gas burners)

As with dual supervision, the control contacts of

the flame relays of all flame safeguards must
be connected in series in the case of multiflame
supervision.
FR
A burner causes all other burners to go to
lockout if:
LFS1.2 - The flame is not established during the
safety time, or
- The flame is lost during operation.

FR After the burner control has been reset,

correctly operating burners can only be
restarted once the faulty burner has been shut
LFS1.2
down.
In that case, the operating switch must not only
bridge the control contacts of the relevant flame
safeguard, thus closing the control chain again,
FR but must also break the phase wire connection
to the ignition transformer and the fuel valves.
Likewise, after rectification of the error, the
LFS1.2
burner can only be restarted together with the
other burners; that is, only after all burners
7782a11/1115 have previously been shut down.

Attention!
An ignited UV tube is a source of UV radiation. In the case of flame supervision by
means of flame detectors, the detectors must be placed in a way that ensures there is
no direct visual contact between them. If this is not observed, there is a risk of loss
of safety functions.

Attention!
When replacing the LFE10 with the LFS1.2, the earth connection at terminal 10
in the LFE10 terminal base must be removed; terminal 5 of the LFS1.2 must not
have an earth connection. Earth connection of QRA10 remains unchanged to
ensure the protection class 1.

Mode of operation of the flame safeguards in the case of multiflame supervision with a PLC, intermittent
operating mode
In the case of multiflame supervision, a fail-safe
PLC performs the central control function (the
example shown uses a Simatic ET200SP F-CPU
and input / output modules ET200SP F-I/O).
Each burner has its own ignition equipment, its
own fuel valve, and its own flame supervision
system (made up of a flame safeguard LFS1.2
and a flame detector).
The control contacts for all the flame safeguards'
flame relays are connected in parallel. In other
words, each burner can be switched on and off
independently of the other burner.
The flame signal is evaluated in the PLC on a
non-equivalent basis in line with the evaluation
principle 1oo2 (1-OFF-2). This means that the 2-
way start pulse is tested at terminals Dix and
Diy.
QRA In the event of a flame ON signal, the fr1 (NO)
contact closes and the fr2 (NC) contact opens at
the same time.
In the event of a flame OFF signal, the fr2 (NC)

the same time.

Mode of operation of the flame safeguards in the case of multiflame supervision with pilot burner and a PLC,
intermittent operating mode
In the case multiflame supervision with a pilot
burner, a fail-safe PLC performs the central
control function (the example shown uses a
Simatic ET200SP F-CPU and input / output
modules ET200SP F-I/O).
The pilot burner has its own ignition equipment
(Z1), its own fuel valve (V1), and its own flame
supervision system made up of a flame
safeguard LFS1.2 and an ionization probe
(ION).
The main burner has its own fuel valve (V2)
and its own flame supervision system made up
of a flame safeguard LFS1 and a UV flame
detector QRA.
The main burner does not have its own ignition
equipment (Z1) as its flame is safely ignited by
the pilot burner. The flame relay control
contacts for both flame safeguards LFS1.2 are
connected in series.
This means that both burners can only be
switched on and off together with the other
burner in each case. The flame ON signal at
terminals Dix / Diy on the digital input module
F-DI can therefore only occur when both flame
signals are present.
Extinguishing 1 of the 2 flames, or even both
flames, leads to a flame OFF signal. The flame
signal is evaluated in the PLC on a non-
equivalent basis in line with the evaluation
principle 1oo2 (1-OFF-2).
Wait for standby Test for prematurely aged UV cell This means that the 2-way start pulse is tested

the burner control and for activating / deactivating the diagnostics
functions.

7101z02e/0305
The multicolor signal lamp (LED) in the lockout reset button is the key
indicating element for both visual diagnostics and interface diagnostics.

Both elements (EK / LED) are located under the transparent cover of the lockout reset
button.

There are 2 diagnostics options:

1. Visual diagnostics: Operational status indication or diagnostics of the cause of
error.
2. Interface diagnostics: With the help of interface adapter OCI400 and PC software
ACS410 (in preparation).

A description of the visual diagnostics is provided below.

Operational status In normal operation, the different operating states are indicated in the form of color
indication codes according to the color code table below:

Service counter Press the lockout reset button (EK) for 10 seconds to activate a yellow flashing warning
signal when 1 million switching cycles have been performed. In this case, it is advisable
to carry out a safety test or to replace the unit.
If 1 million switching cycles have not yet been performed, there will be no yellow
flashing warning signal. Press the lockout reset button (EK) for 10 seconds again to
deactivate this function.

Operation, indication, diagnostics (continued)
Diagnostics of cause of After lockout, the red signal lamp (LED) lights up. In this status, visual diagnostics of
error the cause of the error according to the error code table can be activated by pressing
the lockout reset button for more than 3 seconds. By pressing the lockout reset button
again for more than 3 seconds, the interface diagnostics will be activated. The interface
diagnostics only work if the AGK20 lockout reset button extension is not fitted.
If the interface diagnostics have been activated by accident – in which case the slightly
red light of the signal lamp (LED) flickers – it can be deactivated by pressing the lockout
reset button again for more than 3 seconds. The moment of switching over is indicated
by a yellow light pulse.

The following sequence activates diagnostics of the cause of the error:

Communication, BCI interface
BCI interface
The BCI interface connection jacks are located on the underside in the LFS1 base
area; refer to the figure. Parameters can be set in accordance with the parameter list
below using the display and operating unit AZL2 and signal cable AGV50.
The signal cable AGV50 is preassembled and fitted with a RJ11 connector.
When connecting, ensure that the orientation is correct – the clip on the RJ11
connector must inserted into the notch on the connection jack. A click sound indicates
that the clip has locked into place. To disconnect the connection, open the clip by
gently tilting it towards the cable using your finger before pulling out the RJ11
connector.

The display and operating unit AZL2 with LCD display enables simple operation,
parameterization, and targeted diagnostics via menu-driven operation. When
performing diagnostics, the display shows the operating statuses, the type of error, and
the startup counter (IBZ). Passwords protect the different parameter levels for OEM
(burner / boiler manufacturer) and heating engineers (HF) against unauthorized access.
Simple settings that the plant operator can make on site do not require a password.

For detailed information on parameterization; refer to User Documentation A7782,

Operation via AZL2 chapter.

For the parameters, their default settings, and their range adjustments at the different
access levels, refer to the following parameter list.
