Use
Burner controls type LOK16.../LGK16... feature a self-checking flame supervision
circuit.

The flame supervision circuit initiates the safety actions in the case of... :
• ... premature or missing flame signal
• ... any kind of fault on the flame detector, the detector cables or the flame signal
amplifier that could simulate a flame signal during burner operation

The burner controls are therefore suited for use in all types of oil- or gas-fired
combustion plant where self-checking flame supervision systems are either mandatory
or recommended.
For example:
- Burners that operate continuously
- Burners in intermittent operation that, in the case of great heat demand, may
operate continuously for more than 14 hours, e.g. in plant using boiler sequencing
- Burners that need to comply with the German TRD 411 and TRD 412 regulations
for steam boilers
- Burners in plant where, for specific safety requirements, supervision of the burner
by a self-checking flame supervision system seems advisable
- The control sequence and connection circuitry of the LOK16…/LGK16… burner
controls are identical to those of the LAL2... and LFL1... respectively (with the
exception of the LFL1.148), so that existing combustion plant can also be equipped
with self-checking burner controls,
 provided very good flame detector current values are measured in the plant
supervised so far by the LFL1..., and
 provided the following types of flame detectors are either installed or can
subsequently be fitted:

Flame supervision - Photocell detector RAR9

when using LOK16...

Flame supervision - Flame detector QRA53.../QRA55...

when using LGK16... - Ionization probe
- Flame detector QRA53.../QRA55... together with ionization probe, e.g. in the case
of burners using a pilot burner (also see Data Sheet N7712)

Warning notes

To avoid injury to persons, 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 and service work, 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 not observed, there is
a risk of electric shock hazard
 Ensure protection against electric shock hazard by providing adequate protection
for the burner control’s connection terminals
 Each time work has been carried out (mounting, installation, service work, etc.),
check to ensure that wiring is in an orderly state and make the safety checks as
described in Commissioning notes
 Press the lockout reset button only manually (applying a force of no more than
10 N) without using any tools or pointed objects
 Do not press the lockout reset button on the unit or the remote reset button
(input 21) for more than 10 seconds, since this would damage the lockout
relay inside the unit
 Fall or shock can adversely affect the safety functions. Such units must not be put
into operation, even if they do not exhibit any damage
 In the case of flame supervision with flame detectors QRA53 / QRA55, it should be
noted that sources of radiation such as halogen lamps, welding equipment, special
lamps, ignition sparks, as well as X-rays and gamma radiation, can produce
erroneous flame signals

Mounting notes

 Ensure that the relevant national safety regulations are complied with.
 Connect the earthing lug inside the terminal base to burner ground using a screw
with a lockwasher
 An ignited UV tube is a source of UV radiation!
If the flame is monitored by several flame detectors, all 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

Upgrading existing plant When equipping existing plants with LOK16 or LGK16, the existing plug-in base for LAL
or LFL burner controls must be replaced with the matching plug-in base AGM17 for
LOK16 / LGK16.

Start repetition in the By removing link (B) on the underside of the unit, the LOK16... can be switched to start
event of loss of flame repetition in the event of loss of flame during operation.
In that case, the wire link must be cut off completely.
However, it must be checked whether this is in compliance with national standards and
regulations.

 Note!
In applications involving air heaters (WLE), or in the case of oil burners with a
maximum throughput of > 30 kW/h, removing wire link B is not permitted.

Installation notes

 Always run the high-voltage ignition cables separately while observing the greatest
possible distance to the unit and to other cables
 Neutral conductors must not be interchanged
 Install switches, fuses, earthing, etc., in compliance with local regulations
 Make certain that the maximum permissible current rating of the connection
terminals will not be exceeded
 The insulation of internal wiring that is exposed to the mains voltage must
withstand the electrical stress occurring during correct use

Application notes

 Note!
For use in applications in dual-fuel burners or oil burners, the oil supply must be
equipped with two shutoff valves connected in series.

Observe the following:

EN 298:2012, Section 7.101.3.3 Prepurge time for oil burner control systems and the
corresponding application standards.

Electrical connection of flame detectors

It is important to achieve practically disturbance- and loss-free signal transmission:

 Never run the detector cable together with other cables
– Line capacitance reduces the magnitude of the flame signal
– Use a separate cable
 Observe the permissible detector cable lengths (see Technical data)
 It is not permitted to connect 2 flame detectors QRA53.../QRA55... in parallel
 When using the QRA53.../QRA55..., earthing of terminal 22 is mandatory
 The ionization probe is not protected against electric shock hazard
 Locate the ignition electrode and ionization probe such that the ignition spark
cannot arc over to the ionization probe (risk of electrical overloads) and that it
cannot adversely affect the supervision of ionization
 Supervision with ionization probe and QRA53/QRA55 flame detector is possible
but, for safety reasons, both must not be active at the same time, with the
exception of the second safety time (t9). At the end of the second safety time, one
of the detected flames must extinguish, e.g. by shutting down the pilot gas valve
connected to terminal 17

Commissioning notes

When commissioning the plant or when doing maintenance work, make the following
safety checks:

Safety check to be carried out Anticipated response

a) Burner startup with flame detector Lockout at the end of safety time
darkened
b) Burner startup with simulated flame Lockout after no more than 40 seconds
c) Burner operation with simulated loss LOK16... with wire link cut: Start
of flame; for that purpose, darken the repetition followed by lockout at the end

closed: Immediate lockout
d) Burner startup with response of air Prevention of startup/lockout during
pressure switch prepurge time
e) Burner operation with simulated air Immediate lockout

Function
Principle of In contrast to conventional amplifiers, the signal delivered by the flame detector is
self-supervision handled dynamically and not statically. The flame detector signal is converted to a
sequence of control pulses and then fed to the flame relay circuit. The latter is designed
such that the flame relay can only be energized by a flame signal of the described form.
If the pulses change due to a faulty detector or faulty detector cables, the relay will be
deenergized and the burner control triggers the required safety actions. In the case of
UV supervision, it must also be ensured that self-ignition of the UV tube (e.g. due to
aging) does not simulate a flame signal. For that reason, incident radiation at the UV
cell is periodically interrupted by a shutter. In addition to the self-checking facility, the
flame signal circuit is subjected to a functional test during the prepurge time. If it does
not operate correctly, the startup sequence will be aborted or lockout initiated.
Furthermore, if mains voltage drops to a level where safe operation of the burner
control is no longer ensured, the burner will automatically shut down. When mains
voltage returns to the normal level, the burner control repeats the startup sequence. If
the detector signals are only slightly above the minimum levels, such mains voltage
fluctuations can also give rise to burner lockout however.

Prerequisites for - The burner control is reset and in the start position (terminals 11 and 12 must
burner startup receive power)
- The air damper is closed. The end switch (z) for the CLOSED position must pass
voltage from terminal 11 to terminal 8
- All control contacts between terminals 12 and 5 (limit thermostat, control
thermostat, etc.) must be closed

A Start
When control thermostat or pressurestat closes, the burner control’s sequence switch starts running. At the
same time, the fan motor connected to terminal 6 (only prepurging) receives power and, on completion of
switch-on delay time, the fan motor or flue gas fan at terminal 7 (pre- and postpurging) also receives power.
On completion of interval (t16), the control command to open the air damper is given via terminal 9. During
the running time of the motor, the sequence switch does not operate, as terminal 8, via which the motor of
the sequence switch first receives power, is not live during that period of time. The sequence switch starts
again and begins the prepurge time (t1) only after the air damper is fully open and end switch «a» has
changed over to feed power to terminal 8.

t1 Prepurge time with air damper fully open (nominal amount of combustion air)
Shortly after the start of the prepurge time, air pressure switch must change over, thus interrupting the
current path between terminals 4 and 13. Otherwise, the burner control would go to lockout (start of air
pressure check). At the same time, terminal 14 must be live since this current path is used to power the
ignition transformer and the fuel valves.

t3‘ With the LOK16…, an ignition transformer connected to terminal 15 is therefore switched on at this point in
time (long preignition). If there is no air pressure switch, the ignition transformer receives power already with
the start command. On completion of the prepurge time, the burner control via terminal 10 drives the air
damper into the low-fire position, which is determined by the changeover point of auxiliary switch (m). During
the positioning time, the sequence switch stops again until terminal 8 receives power from «m».

t5 Interval
On completion of interval (t5), terminal 20 receives power. At the same time, control outputs 9 to 11 and
input 8 are galvanically separated from the unit’s control section, so that the latter is protected against
reverse voltages from the load control circuit. The startup sequence of the burner control ends with the
release of load controller at terminal 20. The sequence switch switches itself automatically off, depending on
the time variant used, either immediately or after some so-called idle steps, that is, without changing the
contact positions.

 Note! (Only for LGK)

For use in applications in dual-fuel burners or oil burners, the oil supply must be equipped with two
shutoff valves connected in series.

Observe the following:

EN 298:2012, Section 7.101.3.3 Prepurge time for oil burner control systems and the corresponding
application standards.
TSA First safety time (ignition load)
TSA‘ On completion of the safety time latest, a flame signal must be present at the input of the flame signal
amplifier, or else the burner control will initiate lockout.

t4 Interval until the fuel valve at terminal 19 is released (start load of the main burner).Times safety time
t4‘ (TSA´), short preignition time (t3´) and interval (t4´) are only programmed by burner controls type
LGK16.335... and LGK16.635...

t9 Second safety time

On completion of the safety time, the main burner must have been ignited by the pilot burner, since the pilot
gas valve is closed on completion of second safety time (t9).

B Operating position of the burner

B-C Burner operation (generation of heat)

During burner operation, the load controller drives the air damper to the nominal load or low-fire position,
depending on heat demand. Here, the nominal load is released by auxiliary switch (v) in the actuator.

C Controlled shutdown by control thermostat or pressurestat

In the case of controlled shutdown, the fuel valves are immediately closed and, at the same time, the
sequence switch starts again to program the postpurge time (t6).

t6 Postpurge time (postpurging with fan (M2) connected to terminal 7).

Shortly after the start of the postpurge time, voltage at terminal 10 is reinstated, so that the air damper is
driven into the MIN position. The full closing of the air damper starts only shortly before the completion of the
postpurge time initiated by the control signal on terminal 11, which also remains live during the following
burner off period.

t13 Permissible afterburn time

During permissible afterburn time (t13), the flame signal input may still receive a flame signal
 No lockout

D-A End of control sequence (= start position)

When, on completion of postpurge time (t6), the sequence switch has reset the control contacts to their start
positions, thereby switching itself off, the detector and flame simulation test is started again. However, during
the burner off period, lockout can occur only if the faulty flame signal lasts a few seconds. Hence, short
ignition pulses of the UV detector caused by cosmic radiation do not initiate lockout.

Control sequence in the event of fault and indication of lockout
In case of any disturbance, the supply of fuel will immediately be interrupted. At the
same time, the sequence switch stops and thus the lockout indicator also.

The symbol appearing above the reading mark indicates the kind of fault:

 No start  One of the contacts is not closed (also see Prerequisites for burner startup)
 Extraneous light
Lockout during or after completion of the control sequence
Example:
- Flame not extinguished
- Leaking fuel valves
- Faulty flame supervision circuit

= Abortion of startup  No OPEN signal for end switch (a) at terminal 8

sequence  Terminals 6, 7 and 14 and, in case LOK16... is used, terminal 15, also remain live
until the fault is corrected.

P Lockout  The air pressure signal has not been received at the start of the air pressure check
 Each air pressure failure after this time initiate also lockout.

 Lockout  Due to a fault in the flame supervision circuit.

> Abortion of startup  Auxiliary switch (m) has not delivered the positioning signal for the low-fire position
sequence, to terminal 8.
 Terminals 6, 7 and 14 and, in case LOK16... is used, terminal 15, also remain live
until the fault is corrected.

1 Lockout  No flame signal has been received on completion of the (first) safety time.

2 Lockout Only with LGK16...:

 No flame signal has been received on completion of the second safety time (flame
signal of the main flame with interrupted pilot burners).

I Lockout  The flame signal has been lost during burner operation
 Air pressure failure

After the lockout reset, the burner control sequence switch first returns to the start
position and then initiates a burner restart.

If lockout occurs any other moment in time between start and preignition not indicated
by a symbol, the usual cause is a premature flame signal, that is, a faulty flame signal
caused, for instance, by a self-igniting UV tube.

Only with LOK16...:

 If wire link (B) was cut off and the flame is lost during burner operation, the burner
control programs a repetition of the startup sequence with the full program.

When lockout has occurred, the burner control can immediately be reset:
 Do not press the lockout reset button for more than 10 seconds

The sequence switch always travels to the start position first

 After resetting
 After rectification of a fault that led to shutdown
 After each power failure
 During this period of time, power is only fed to terminals 7 and 9...11

After that, the burner control programmed the restarting of the burner
