BURNER LOCKOUT
The burner has an independent control system (Burner Control Box); this includes a flame detector
(Photocell), which senses the presence of a flame. In the event of a flame failure, the burner control box
activates a second re-ignition sequence. Should the photocell not detect a flame presence within 15 seconds
the burner goes to LOCKOUT and shuts down.
Continued LOCKOUTS are a result of a fault in the operation of the boiler and can be attributed to
following examples:
-An interruption of the fuel supply.
-Electrical Supply Fault e.g. Extreme low voltage.
-Failure of a burner component.
-Burner combustion not being correct.
The Burner Reset button on the Control Box illuminates to indicate that a lockout has occurred.
In the event of the Burner locking out, do not attempt to restart the Burner by pressing the Reset Button on
the Burner Control Box for at least 2 minutes. A Bi-metallic timer within the Control Box has a minimum
cooling time of 45 seconds thus the 2 minute interval will ensure that this Bi-metallic timer has cooled and is
therefore in a position where it may be reset.
RESTARTING AFTER LOCKOUT
When lockout has occurred, inspect for any obvious causes e.g. oil leaks. Also check the fuel line from the
tank to the boiler and that any oil shut off valve has not been inadvertently closed.
RESTART
-Check there is adequate oil in the storage tank.
-Check oil supply valves are open
-Switch on heating system (e.g. Time Clock)
-Press the Burner Reset Button on the burner Control Box, which will be illuminated. The Burner Reset
Button (illuminated)(Fig 1) will go out and the burner will commence the ignition start sequence. After
15 seconds the Burner should fire normally.
PLEASE NOTE: Should the Burner not start, the lockout indicator, on the Control Box/Burner Reset
Button will illuminate again.
- Wait at least 3 minutes and press the Burner Reset Button again.
Failure to start a second time indicates a fault requiring attention.
In the event of a second failure to start:
-Switch off electrical supply
-Call service engineer.
