Burner Controls for Gas/Oil Systems
Burner Controls for Gas/Oil Systems
The LGB... and this Data Sheet are intended for use by OEMs which integrate the
burner controls in their products!
Use
The LGB... burner controls are used for the startup and supervision of 1- or 2-stage gas
or gas / oil burners in intermittent operation.
Depending on the type of burner control used, the flame is supervised either by an
ionization probe, a blue-flame detector QRC1... for forced draft gas / oil burners, or a
UV detector QRA... (with auxiliary unit AGQ1...A27).
In connection with the respective adapters, the LGB... burner controls replace their
predecessor types LFI7... and LFM1... (also refer to «Replacement types» under «Or-
dering»).

Warning notes
To avoid injury to persons, damage to property or the environment, the following
warning notes should be observed!
• All activities (mounting, installation and service work, etc.) must be performed by
qualified staff
• Before performing any wiring changes in the connection area of the LGB..., com-
pletely isolate the burner control from the mains supply (all-polar disconnection)
• 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»
• Check to ensure that wiring is in an orderly state
• Press the lockout reset button only manually (apply a force of no more than 10 N),
without using any tools or pointed objects
• 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
Mounting notes
• Ensure that the relevant national safety regulations are complied with
Installation notes
• Always run the ignition cables separate from the unit and other cables while ob-
serving the greatest possible distance
• Do not mix up live and neutral conductors
• Install switches, fuses, earthing, etc., in compliance with local regulations
• Ensure that the maximum permissible current ratings will not be exceeded (refer to
«Technical data»)
• Do not feed external mains voltage to the control outputs of the unit. When testing
the devices controlled by the burner control (fuel valves, etc.), the LGB... must not
be connected
• To isolate the burner control from the mains supply, use an all-polar switch with a
contact gap of at least 3 mm
• Secure the earthing lug in the base with a metric screw and a lockwasher
• In the case of burners with no fan, the AGK25 must be connected to terminal 3 as
a burden, or else the burner cannot reliably start
• For safety reasons, feed the neutral conductor to the neutral distributor in the plug-
in base, or to terminal 2. Connect the burner components (fan, ignition transformer
and gas valves) as represented in the figure 7435a14, to the neutral distributor as
shown below. The connection between neutral conductor and terminal 2 is pre-
wired in the base

The conductivity and rectifying effect of hot flame gases are used for flame supervision.
For that purpose, AC voltage is applied to the heat-resistant ionization probe which
projects into the flame. The current that flows in the presence of a flame (ionization
current) produces the flame signal which is fed to the input of the flame signal amplifier.
The amplifier is designed such that it only responds to the DC current component of the
flame signal, thereby ensuring that a short-circuit between ionization probe and ground
cannot simulate a flame signal (since in that case AC current would flow).
Basically, the flame supervision circuit is insensitive to adverse effects of the ignition
spark.
However, should the disturbing effects of the ignition spark on the ionization current
exceed a certain level, the electrical connections on the primary side of the ignition
transformer must be changed and / or the location of the ionization probe must be
checked.
Ionization current su- Since the ionization current with burner controls operating on AC 110 V is only about
pervision with burner 50 % of those operating on AC 230 V, certain applications make it necessary to in-
controls operating on crease the ionization current with a transformer.
AC 110 V
Capacity of transformer: Min. 2 VA
Transforming ratio: Approx. 1.1...1.5
The primary and secondary windings of the transformer must be galvanically sepa-
rated.

lated version in the form of the QRA10... (for details, refer to Data Sheet N7712).
Auxiliary unit A special UV auxiliary unit AGQ1...A27 is required in connection with LGB... burner
AGQ1...A27 controls.
That unit is to be connected to the mains supply via 2 cables, and to the burner control
via terminals 1, 2 and 11.
Using circuitry (A) or (B), there are 2 ways to make the quench test on aging UV detec-
tors and to detect UV light:
1. (A) Operation with a permanent line:
UV test at a higher supply voltage across the UV cell on startup and after con-
trolled shutdown.
2. (B) Operation with a controlled line:
UV test at a higher supply voltage only on startup, that is, during the interval
between controlled startup and air pressure signal.
– No voltage at the UV cell after controlled shutdown
– No full substitute for mode (A) above, since an aged UV cell can regenerate
itself

Undervoltages LGB... burner controls are capable of detecting undervoltages. This means that load
relay «AR» will be deenergized if mains voltage drops below AC 160 V (for nominal AC
220...240 V) or AC 75 V (for nominal AC 100...110 V).
The burner control will automatically make a restart attempt when the supply voltage
returns to a level above AC 160 V and AC 75 V respectively.
Reversed polarity If the connections of live conductor (terminal 12) and neutral conductor (terminal 2) are
protection mixed up, the burner control will initiate lockout at the end of «TSA».
tw Waiting time
During the waiting time, air pressure switch «LP» and flame relay «FR» are
tested for correct contact positions.
t1 Prepurge time
Purging the combustion chamber and the secondary heating surfaces:
Required with low-fire air volumes when using the LGB21... and with nominal
load air volumes when using the LGB22... / LGB32...
«Type summary» and the «Function and sequence diagrams» show the so-
called prepurge time «t1» during which air pressure switch «LP» must indi-
cate that the required air pressure is available.
The effective prepurge time «t1» comprises interval end «tw» through «t3».
t3 Preignition time
During «t3» and up to the end of «TSA», flame relay «FR» is forced to close.
On completion of «t3», the release of fuel is triggered at terminal 4 or at termi-
nal 11 of the LGB41...

LGB21... / LGB41...: Time to the release of the second fuel valve «BV2»
LGB22... / LGB32...: On completion of «t4», the heat source is controlled

D Shutdown by «R»
The burner is immediately shut down and the programming mechanism is
ready for a new start.
12/22
• After a mains failure or in the event of un- New startup with full program sequence
dervoltage: on power restoration
• Premature flame signal from the start of «t1»: Immediate lockout
• Contacts of air pressure switch «LP» have Prevention of startup
welded during «tw»:
• No air pressure signal: Lockout on completion of «t10»
• Air pressure failure on completion of «t10»: Immediate lockout
• Burner does not ignite: Lockout on completion of «TSA»
• Flame is lost during operation: Immediate lockout
Lockout After lockout, the LGB... will remain locked (lockout cannot be changed).
This state will also be maintained in the event of mains voltage failure.
Resetting the LGB... Whenever lockout occurs, the burner control can immediately be reset.
Release of fuel
