    TABLE OF CONTENTS

    A. INTRODUCTION

    Page 3 IntroductionJB Manual

    This manual covers the Models JB1, JB2 and JB3 CYCLO-NETIC burners offered by Webster Engineering & Manu-facturing Co., LLC. These burners can be used in a wide variety of Cast Iron, Firebox, Firetube, Flextube and other applications. They can fire gas, oil and combination gas and oil with several different operating systems.

    READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR REFER-ENCE

    WARNINGDO NOT ATTEMPT TO START, ADJUST OR MAIN-TAIN THIS BURNER WITHOUT PROPER TRAINING OR EXPERIENCE. FAILURE TO USE KNOWLEDGE-ABLE TECHNICIANS CAN RESULT IN EQUIPMENT DAMAGE, PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.

    The startup and maintenance of the JB burner requires the skills of an experienced and properly trained burner techni-cian. Inexperienced individuals should not attempt to start or adjust this burner.

    Every attempt has been made to accurately reflect the burner construction, however, product upgrades and spe-cial order requirements may result in differences between the content of this manual and the actual equipment. These special components will be described in the infor-mation provided with the burner and should be used as the controlling document.

    NOTE: This manual must be readily available to all op-erators and maintained in legible condition.

    1. Nameplate Information

    Each burner has a nameplate with important job details,

    similar to the nameplates shown in Figure A-1. An “X” in the model number refers to a low NOx burner, where FGR or a NOx cone is used to reduce the NOx in the combustion gases. If the burner is not a low NOx burner, there is no “X” in the model.

    208OIL PUMP MOTOR 4.3 60 3 1/2

    The serial number represents the unique number for that burner and is a critical number that will be needed for any communications with Webster Engineering.

    The input rates define the maximum and minimum inputs for that burner, given in MBH for gas and GPH for oil. Air atomized burners show both the oil pressure and air pres-sure. Pressure atomized burners only list the oil pres-

  • sure. For gas firing, the gas manifold pressure is given in “in wc” which is inches of water column.

    The electrical ratings of the burner are given, with the volt-age, current load, frequency and phase (this will either be single or 3-phase). For motors, the motor HP is listed.

    2. Ratings

    The ratings for each specific burner are given on the name-plate. The general burner ratings are given in Specifica-tion Sheets that follow this section. The maximum inputs are given, based on the type of fuel. Other conditions, like the supply gas pressure or the combination of fuels, emis-sion requirements and control systems may prevent the burner from reaching the lowest firing rate.

    3. Product Offering

    The JB burner can fire natural gas, propane and digester gas as well as all grades of light and heavy oil (#2, #4, #5 and #6 oils as defined by ASTM D396).

    DO NOT USE GASOLINE, CRANKCASE OIL OR ANY OIL CONTAINING GASOLINE.

    This burner is also available as a low emission burner, and will have model designation JBX. Several low NOx rates are available for all gas and light oil burners, with the stan-dard offering of 60 ppm and 30 ppm when firing natural gas. Heavy oil is not allowed in combination with low NOx, as the high sulfur content can recirculate from the vessel through the burner when switched from heavy oil to gas. Low sulfur heavy oil can be used with gas FGR, when the sulfur is under ½% (the FGR is closed during oil firing). The burner can also be equipped with a NOx cone for low NOx on gas, which does not require FGR. (See Adden-dum 950064).

    Figure A-2 lists the common variations and options avail-able on this product. The minimum furnace conditions are given in Section C.

    4. Your Complete Manual

    In addition to this manual, there are several other docu-ments that should be considered as part of the complete manual for the burner. All of these documents are needed to support the installation and startup of the unit. These additional items include:

    a. The wiring diagram, which shows the limits and inter-connection of the burner and vessel controls.b. The gas and oil piping schematics, which show thecomponents and their relative positions in the piping train.c. The unit material list which provides an overview ofthe burner requirements and a complete bill of material,including the part numbers and description for each item.d. The flame safeguard manual provides the operating se-quence for the burner management system. This will be acritical document for troubleshooting any future problems.

    Page 4 IntroductionJB Manual

    e. Catalog cuts of the major components. These providedetails on the installation, adjustment and maintenance ofthe components used on the burner.

    C. INSTALLATIONPrior to installing the burner, the site conditions and utili-ties need to be evalulated. This section provides some general questions that can help the review process. In-spect the burner for any undetected damage that may have occurred during shipment or by job-site handling. Special attention should be given to the control panel and protruding parts such as linkages. Check linkages, air louver stops, wiring connections and fasteners for tightness.

    Verify that all ship loose (or separately shipped) items are on hand. This normally will be: gas train components, mounting lugs and insulating rope. Also, front mounting plate and remote oil pump set, if supplied. The burner material list included with the instruction manual serves as a good checklist for this purpose.

    1. Is there adequate outside ventilation to supply theneeded air for safe combustion as required by your localregulatory agency?2. If a burner mounting plate is required, is it availableand does it meet specifications? (See Section E)3. Is 120-60-1 voltage available for the control circuitand is the correct voltage available for the blower motoras well for the remote oil pump set and air compressor,if used?4. Will the burner properly fit the boiler or heater withample clearance on top, bottom and sides?5. If a gas burner, will there be adequate gas pressure toassure the specified firing rate?6. If a straight oil burner with gas pilot, is gas available atthe burner location?7. If an oil burner, what is the age and condition of theoil tank(s) and will there be special piping arrangementsneeded to deliver the oil to the burner?Important Note: The JB series burners must be oper-ated with a two-pipe system.8. If an oil burner, what grade of fuel oil is in the tank(s) oron order? If a retrofit installation, has the same oil gradealways been used? Does it meet the grade specified onthe burner’s UL rating plate?

    CAUTIONThe oil burner shall only burn that grade of oil shown on the UL rating plate. DO NOT USE GASOLINE, CRANKCASE OIL, OR ANY OIL CONTAINING GAS-OLINE OR TOXIC CONTAMINANTS.

    9. Is there adequate flue provisions to assure SAFE andproper venting of the burner?10. All manuals should be reviewed and understood andstored in a convenient place.11. Teflon tape should not be used on any field piping.12. Rope gaskets should be used between vessel andmounting plate, and between mounting plate and burn-er.13. Gas piping should be flushed (cleaned) prior to use.14. Check minimum straight lengths for gas pressure

    regulator and/or sensing line.15. Oil piping to be flushed (cleaned) prior to use.16. Check pump suction pressure (max 10” Hg) or maxpress (3 psig) if transfer pump is used or tank elevation ishigher than the pump.17. Strainer before oil pump, sized for max pump suctioncapacity.18. If FGR is used, does it follow Webster guidelines. (seeaddendum 950064)19. If multiple vessels connect to a single stack, are theysized and designed to maintain +/- 0.1” wc draft at the ves-sel outlet under all operating conditions.20. Is stack designed to maintain +/- 0.1” wc at outlet duringall operating conditions.

    WARNINGDO NOT USE TEFLON TAPE OR COMPOUNDS CONTAINING TEFLON. THIS COULD DAMAGE THE VALVES CREATING AN UNSAFE OPERATION

    21. Is the burner mounting plate and burner head sealedwith rope gasket? (See Figure E-2)22. Has the new gas and oil piping been purged to removedebris?23. Is there a drop leg in the gas supply to capture foreignmaterial? (See Figure C-1)24. Is the piping between the gas train and burner done ina manner that will minimize the pressure drop?25. Has all of the piping been pressure checked for leaks?26. Is the combustion chamber of proper size and is thecenter-line height of the burner head adequate? (Seecharts C-2 & C-3.)

    G. INITIAL SETTINGSThe burner will be set at the factory for normal ini-tial settings. These are only rough settings that must be adjusted at startup to match the furnace, fuel pressure and environment of the specifi c ap-plication. These general settings are covered in this chapter as a means of checking the burner (linkage and settings can move in shipment) or readjusting the burner if the settings are lost.

    1. Oil nozzle positionThe oil nozzle initial position is shown in FigureG-2. The oil nozzle will be adjusted at start-upand may be moved in or out from this initial set-ting. In some cases, the oil nozzle may be insidethe diffuser

    The air proving switch has been adjusted at the factory for an initial setting. If the switch trips during initial start-up, turn the adjustment screw ccw two full turns to re-duce the trip pressure setting.

    3. TYPICAL AIR AND FUEL ADJUSTMENT LOCATIONS

    4. Fuel Cam Adjustments (if applicable)The fuel cam needs to be checked for correct traveland alignment. Positions can change during shipmentand installation and they must be reviewed prior tostartup. The fuel cams are mounted to the ends of thejackshaft assembly. A cam follower link follows the profi leestablished by the adjusting screws and drives the fuelvalve. A thin metal band is used between the screw andcam follower to provide a smooth profi le. The adjustingscrews are backed by compressed nylon inserts, whichprovide a resistance to turning.

    The cam (Figure G-3) should be checked for the following conditions:a. At the low fi re position, the roller should be betweenthe fi rst two adjusting screws. If not, adjust the positionof the cam accordingly, making sure to maintain the samelow fi re fuel valve position.b. When the linkage is modulated from low to high fi re,the roller must stay in the center of the adjusting screwswithin 1/8”. If needed, the two cam set screws can beloosened and the cam moved to center it on the roller.

    c. At high fi re, the roller should be between the last twoadjusting screws.d. The adjusting screws should form a smooth contourwith no jumps between the screws.e. In preparation of startup, the retention plate canbe removed temporarily to make it easier to adjust thescrews.

    THE RETENTION PLATE MUST BE REPLACED WHEN SETUP IS COMPLETE.If the unit is equipped with a parallel positioning system (linkageless), the control valves can be positioned and operated in a similar manner, but accomplished through the controller. Refer to the instruction manual for details.

    CAUTIONLINKAGE AND ACTUATOR MOUNTINGS CAN BE BENT OR MOVED DURING SHIPMENT AND INSTALLATION. THEY MUST BE CHECKED PRIOR TO OPERATION AND ANY FAULTS CORRECTED. FAILURE TO CORRECT A MISALIGNED CONTROL WILL RESULT IN PREMATURE FAILURE.

  • H. IGNITION SYSTEMS

    Page 30 Ignition SystemsJB Manual

    1. Gas Pilot AssemblyA crucial part of reliable burner operation is a dependablepilot, which must be properly adjusted and kept clean. A gaspilot is standard for all models except JB1 through JB2-20straight oil pressure atomizing burners which have directspark ignition as standard. The following illustrations showthe typical confi guration and nominal adjustment parame-ters of each pilot.

    Figure H-1 showns the JB1 & JB2 gas pilot. Figure H-2 shows the JB3 gas pilot. Figure H-3 shows how the pilots are positioned in the burner drawer.

    Pilot gas pressure should be measured at the 1/8” port locat-ed on the downstream side of the last pilot solenoid valve.

    2. Oil Nozzle Positiion, Direct Spark Oil.Figures H-5 and H-6 show the position of direct spark igni-tion and nozzle positions. These are initial settings and willbe adjusted at start-up.

    3. Air Damper PositionOn a straight gas burner, the air damper should be openabout 1/4” at low fi re and close to full open at high fi re. In

    Figure H-2 JB3 PILOT ASSEMBLYNatural Gas Pressure;4 - 6” wcLP Gas Pressure;1.5 - 2.5” wc

    some applications, the pilot requires an orifi ce in the pilot gas supply line. With the exception of the JB3, this ori-fi ce is located external of the blower housing.

    The pilot to diffuser dimension is the distance of the face of the pilot to the outer diameter of the diffuser.

    For an oil or combination burner, the air damper should be open about 3/8” at low fi re and close to full open at high fi re.

    4. Gas Modualting Control Valve PositionThe gas valve should be open about 10% at low fi re andstroked to abput 60% open at high fi re.

    5. Oil Modulatining Control Valve Position.For pressure atomizing, the low fi re position should beadjusted to get the correct low fi re presure, as statedon the rating label. Typically, this would be 100 psi forsimplex systems and 65 psi for return fl ow nozzles. Thehigh fi re position should be about 45o to 60o travel fromlow fi re.

    For air atomizing, the low fi re should be on about #2 po-sition and the high fi re should be about the #8 position.

    This section covers the startup and operating adjustments of the Webster Models JB and JBX burners.

    WARNINGBURNER STARTUP, COMBUSTION ADJUSTMENTS AND LIMIT CONTROLS ADJUSTMENTS SHOULD ONLY BE PERFORMED BY TRAINED AND EXPE-RIENCED SERVICE TECHNICIANS. ATTEMPTING TO PERFORM THESE FUNCTIONS WITHOUT THE PROPER TRAINING AND EXPERIENCE CAN RE-SULT IN EQUIPMENT DAMAGE, PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.

    Before proceeding with the startup and adjustment, be sure that the overall installation is complete. Review the boiler operating and installation manual, as well as all con-trol manuals to verify that all equipment is ready for opera-tion. These manuals must be read and understood prior to starting the equipment.

    If you are not qualified to service this equipment, DO NOT TAMPER WITH THE UNIT OR CONTROLS - CALL YOUR SERVICEMAN.

    At the conclusion of the startup, document valve and linkage positions, pressures and settings for future refer-ence.

    READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR FU-TURE REFERENCE.

    1. Pre-Start Check ListBefore starting the burner, a complete review of the instal-lation, wiring and piping of the burner, boiler and all sup-porting equipment must be complete and all of these itemsmust be ready for operation prior to starting. The followingis a general review:

    ______All wiring is connected. Test pulls on wire show them to be tight.

    ______All fuel lines are connected and tight. ______Pilot gas is connected.______Burner is mounted to vessel and floor, with all bolts secured.______The linkage is correct (in low fire position) and tight.______The stack is connected and routed to the outside. Draft controls are installed and operational, if needed.______Gas vent lines are connected and routed to the outside, if required per code.______Do not start the unit unless all cleanout doors are in place and secured.______The vessel is completely installed, filled with water and operating controls checked.______Support equipment is in place and ready (feed pumps, draft controls, steam/hot water systems, boiler limits and controls and feedwater systems).______A load must be available for the burner startup and adjustment process. The burner must be operated at high rates for extended periods of time and the load must be capable of using this energy.______A combustion analyzer with O2 and CO (for gas) must be available to tune combustion. A smoke spot tes-ter must be available for oil firing. If this is a low NOx burner, a NOx analyzer must be available. All of these analyzers must be recently calibrated and able to provide accurate readings.______Other test equipment, including manometers, gauges and volt meter shall be available.______Manometer or gauge on the gas manifold.______Manometer or gauge before and after gas pres-sure regulator.______Draft gauge or manometer (at stack outlet).______Draft gauge or manometer for furnace pressure.

    2. Linkage Adjustments

    Adjusting the air damper and FGR control valve on a link-age system requires an understanding of linkage setups. The rate of change for the fuel valve, air damper and FGR valve must be matched by how the linkage is setup. If the air damper or FGR valve opens too quickly, the flame may become unstable or the NOx levels may not meet the requirements. There are a few general guidelines that should be followed in setting up the linkage of a burner,a. The linkage must provide the correct stroke of thevalve, from low to high fire. Increasing the length of thedrive crank arm (B) or decreasing the length of the drivencrank arm (C) will increase the valve travel. To reducevalve travel, decrease B or increase C (Figure I-1).

    Length C Increase driven arm travel (D)

    Reduce driven arm travel (D)

    b. Decreasing the angle of the drive arm will slow the ini-tial valve travel (and speed up the travel at high fire). Thiswould be done to get the air damper to match the fuel valveaction.

    3. Fuel Cam Adjustments

    The cam is used to adjust the intermediate fuel rate with the low and high fire settings done by the linkage connec-tions. The intermediate rates can be adjusted by turning the adjusting screws in the clockwise direction to increase fuel input and decrease the % O2 level in the flue gases. Turn-ing the adjustment screws counterclockwise will decrease fuel input and increase % O2 in the flue gases.

    The following guidelines should be used for adjusting the cam:a. When adjusting the screws, the adjacent screws mustalso be adjusted to provide a smooth contour from screw toscrew. When complete, the flexible strip between the adjust-ing screws and the roller must come in contact with eachscrew, providing a smooth transition from low fire to highfire.b. The end screws (or nuts) can be adjusted to hold the stripagainst the screws, but should not deform the strip.c. There should be no upsets in the profile, where the flex-

    Figure I-1Linkage Adjustments

    ible strip is required to move to a screw position where it is initially not in contact with the screw. Also, the movement from one screw to the next cannot be too large (more then 1/8”). This will cause the strip to flex and will lead to premature failure of the strip.d. The adjusting screws have a limited range of adjust-ment. They can be turned in until they are flush withthe aluminum bar and adjusted out until the side wash-ers of the roller contact the aluminum bar.e. If any adjusting screw does not turn with some re-sistance, the cam must be replaced.f. When the cam adjustment is complete, the retentionplate must be installed. The retention plate will help insure that the fuel valve position will not get far from its ideal position, even with interference or sticky valve operation.

    WARNINGIF THE CAM ADJUSTING SCREWS DO NOT HAVE RESISTANCE TO TURNING, THE CAM SHOULD BE REPLACED, AS THE SCREWS MAY CHANGE POSITION. FAILURE TO CHANGE A DEFECTIVE CAM MAY RESULT IN INJURY OR DEATH.

    CAUTIONLARGE CHANGES FROM ONE ADJUSTING SCREW TO ANOTHER WILL RESULT IN PREMA-TURE FAILURE OF THE CAM AND MAY PREVENT THE BURNER FROM OPERATING PROPERLY.

    g. If the contour has a sharp rise in the cam screw pro-file, trying to open the valve very quickly in the first fewscrews, the linkage should be readjusted to cause theair damper to open slower (make the jackshaft drivearm more parallel to the linkage rod). Likewise, the op-posite contour can be corrected by speeding up the airdamper drive (Figure I-1). The final cam screw profileshould be close to the profile of the cam with no abruptchanges.

    4. FGR Adjustments

    Flue gas is recirculated back into the burner to reduce the flame temperature, which reduces the NOx level. High quantities of flue gas result in lower NOx levels, but can also result in flame instability if there is too much FGR. Natural gas fuel can handle larger quanti-ties of flue gas than oil and can have much lower NOx levels as a result. Generally, the NOx levels only apply to gas firing and oil firing is not adjusted for NOx levels. There may be exceptions to this, and the orders details should be reviewed to identify any special combustion requirements.

    Dual fuel units may need additional adjustments and compensation to handle the different FGR rates be-tween natural gas and #2 fuel oil. Units that require gas NOx levels above about 45 ppm can operate with the same quantity of FGR on both fuels and no addi-tional controls or adjustments are needed. Burners

  • equipped with Posi-Control can be adjusted for individual air and FGR settings on both fuels and can easily handle these variations, even with lower NOx levels. Linkage burners op-erating at 30 ppm NOx (natural gas) are equipped with a potentiometer in the control panel that will allow the shut-off valve to partially open and allows a small amount of FGR to flow when firing oil. This keeps the oil inputs close to the gas input (lower FGR rates increases the combustion air rate). The oil combustion is generally better when FGR is used at low rates resulting is a lower NOx level. Linkage levels with NOx levels under 30 ppm will also use a multiple modulation motor to provide separate gas and oil low fire and high fire positions.

    Linkage dual fuel units may also be equipped with the op-tional multiple set point (Landis) modulation motor in addition to the above potentiometer. This motor allows for different low and high fire settings on gas vs oil to obtain the correct airflow for each fuel and optimize the turndown on gas.

    On a dual fuel unit, the natural gas should be done first to properly set the FGR inlet tube. Once gas is setup, oil can be set.

    For dual fuel linkage systems, the following guidelines should be used:• A 60 ppm system can be adjusted with the same FGR rateon both fuels. The FGR control valve is set on gas and oilfollows that setting.• A 30 ppm system uses the FGR limiting potentiometer(located in the control panel) to obtain a partial flow of FGRwhen firing oil. The FGR control valve is set when firinggas. The FGR limiting potentiometer is adjusted to improvecombustion but not cause instability. The combustion needsto be checked at several firing rates.• Under 30 ppm, separate gas and oil operating points areestablished in the modulating motor. Parallel positioning(linkageless) systems allow all of the valves to be positionedindependently for each fuel. For this reason, the setup se-quence can be more flexible.

    5. Burner Drawer Adjustments

    The burner drawer has several adjustments built into the de-sign that allow the combustion to be tuned. While this can simplify the combustion tuning process, care must be used to retain the relative position of other components during this sequence. If these adjustments are required, follow the se-quence listed to perform the adjustments.

    Before any adjustments are made, the position of each com-ponent must be marked. A felt tip pen or a combination of masking tape and another type of pen can be used.• Mark the distance of the oil gun tube from the backplate.• Mark the distance of the gas pilot line to the backplate.a. To adjust the diffuser to inner fire cylinder dimension:• Measure the dimension from the backplate to the end ofthe oil gun tube. This dimension, along with the initial posi-tion will determine the limit of the adjustment. For example,if the diffuser is 1 inch behind the fire end of the inner firecylinder, then it can be adjusted in 3/4 inch or out 1/2 inch tostay within the limits of 1/4 inch to 1 1/2 inch diffuser to fire

    end of the inner fire cylinder dimension.• Loosen the two setscrews locking the pilot gas lineand gun tube to the backplate.• Adjust the diffuser by moving the oil gun tube in andout the amount determined above. When the best posi-tion is found, lock into place with the two setscrews onthe oil and pilot tubes.b. To adjust the oil nozzle to diffuser position:• Adjust the oil nozzle to obtain the best combustion.• Watch for spray back on the diffuser when the oil noz-zle is pulled too far back. The flame may appear goodbut carbon will quickly develop on the diffuser.• The drawer assembly must be removed to adjust theoil nozzle to diffuser position.

    The burner drawer must be removed for access to com-ponents, follow the following steps:

    a. Disconnect the gas pilot line. Move the pilot line sothe drawer can be pulled out without interference.b. If equipped with oil, disconnect the oil line(s), andmove the oil line out of the way to allow the drawer tobe pulled.c. Loosen and remove the screws on the burner draw-er.d. Disconnect the ignition cable from the drawer assem-bly. It is attached with a snap-on fitting.e. Pull the drawer out, holding the drawer centered inthe opening to prevent it from hanging up while beingpulled out.f. Disconnect the scanner by screwing it off of the scan-ner tube. In some cases, the scanner simply pulls out,with a spring tension. Secure the scanner so that it isprotected from shock.g. Set the drawer down horizontally, do not set it on thediffuser as it may flatten some fins or change positions.

    To re-install the burner drawer, simply work the proce-dure in reverse.

    6. Single Fuel Setups

    Single fuel burners can be adjusted following the proce-dures outlined in Section 10 for gas firing; Section 11 for pressure atomized oil, Section 12 for Air atomized #2 oil and Section 13 for heavy oil firing.

    The procedures for each of the systems (linkage, cams, FGR) must be completely understood and followed as part of the setup process.

    7. Combination Gas and Pressure Atomized Oil

    Combination burners, firing both gas and oil, require some compromises in the setup because they share common controls for both fuels. In this case, linkage units must have the gas input adjusted to match the oil inputs because there is little flexibility in adjusting the oil rates. Oil will be setup first and will set the air damper positions to support the low and high fire oil inputs. Fol-low the procedure outlined in section 11 to complete the oil setup. Then setup the gas input as defined in section

    Page 34 Startup and Operating AdjustmentsJB Manual

  • 10, using the air damper positions defined by oil, and adjust-ing the gas input to match the air damper settings.

    If the burner is equipped with an optional multiple set-point modulating motor or parallel positioning, the low and high fire rates, as well as lightoff rates, can be set independently for each fuel. In this case, the gas is adjusted first, to set the air damper locations for gas firing, as defined in Section 10. Once gas is set, oil is setup as defined in Section 11, except that the multipoint modulating damper motor is adjusted to bring the low fire air setting to match the oil needs.

    There are several different options available that can alter the exact setup details, and these must be evaluated prior to startup so that the procedures can be adjusted accord-ingly. The procedures given are for linkage systems. Par-allel positioning (linkageless) systems allow for much more flexibility in the fuel, air and FGR settings on each fuel, and can be tuned to better match each fuels needs. The setup details for linkageless controls will follow the same general sequence, but differ in specifics for setting the valve posi-tions.

    8. Combination Gas and Air Atomized #2 Oil

    Combination burners, firing both gas and oil, require some compromises in the setup because they share common con-trols for both fuels. Air atomized #2 oil firing can have turn-downs and air damper positions very similar to gas firing, simplifying the setup. If the burner is equipped with FGR, gas must be started first to set the FGR control valve po-sitions to obtain the correct NOx performance. If there is no FGR, either fuel can be started first, however the setup cannot be finalized until both fuels have been reviewed to determine the air damper positions. Follow the setup proce-dures defined in Section 10 for gas setup and Section 12 for air atomized oil setup.

    If the burner is equipped with an optional multiple set-point modulating motor, the low and high fire rates, as well as ligh-toff rates, can be set independently for each fuel. In this case, the gas is adjusted first, to set the air damper locations for gas firing, as defined in Section 10. Once gas is set, oil is setup as defined in Section 12, except that the multipoint modulating damper motor is adjusted to bring the low fire air setting to match the oil needs.

The setup details for linkageless controls will follow the same general sequence, but differ in specifics for setting the valve posi-tions.

    9. Combination Gas and Heavy Oil

    Combination burners, firing both gas and oil, require some compromises in the setup because they share common con-trols for both fuels. Heavy oil burners cannot operate with

    FGR and do not have this adjustment. If the burner does not have a multiple setpoint modulating motor or link-ageless control, oil must be set first, as the air damper positions will be determined by this setup. With the mul-tiple setpoint modulating motor, gas must be set first, as it will dictate the damper positions. In either case, setup cannot be finalized until both fuels have been reviewed to determine the air damper positions. Follow the setup procedures defined in Section 10 for gas setup and Sec-tion 13 for air atomized heavy oil setup.

    There are several different options available that can al-ter the exact setup details, and these must be evaluated prior to startup so that the procedures can be adjusted accordingly. The procedures given are for linkage sys-tems. Parallel positioning (linkageless) systems allow for much more flexibility in the fuel, air and FGR settings on each fuel, and can be tuned to better match each fu-els needs. The setup details for linkageless controls will follow the same general sequence, but differ in specifics for setting the valve positions.

    10. Gas Setup

    a. Place the burner switch in the “OFF” positionb. Place the “Auto-Manual” switch in the manual posi-tion, for modulation or low fire hold, switch in low fire po-sition for Lo-Hi-Lo operation. If this is a combination fuelburner, make sure the fuel selector switch is on “GAS”.c. Place the manual flame control potentiometer in theMIN (low fire) position on modulating units.d. Close the downstream manual shutoff valve (closestto the burner head) on the gas train.e. Turn the electrical power on for the burner, boiler andrelated components.f. Verify that the gas metering valve is nearly closed, thevent valve (if equipped) is operating and the gas pilotvalve is not open (the solenoid will hum and feel warm).g. If equipped with FGR, verify that the FGR controlvalve is in the near closed position. A linkage systemshould have the shutoff FGR valve in the closed posi-tion.h. Turn the burner switch on. This will start the blowermotor and initiate the prepurge cycle.i. When the prepurge sequence is complete and thelow fire start switch (if used) is made, the pilot valve willopen and the pilot flame should be visible through thesight port.j. When the pilot flame is established, the flame safe-guard will energize the main gas valve (indicated withthe Fuel Valve Light). This operation of the main fuelvalves must be visually checked by observing the valvestem operation.k. After the timer has completed the trial for main flame,the b
