Burner Controls
LFE1...
Series 03
The LFE1... burner control is designed for use with forced draft gas and dual-fuel
burners of any capacity, in intermittent operation.
The LFE1... and this Data Sheet are intended for use by OEMs which integrate the
burner controls in their products.
Use
The LFE1... is designed for the fully automatic control and supervision of single-stage,
multi-stage or modulating gas or dual-fuel burners. It is suited for use with expanding
flame and interrupted pilot type gas burners.
Flame supervision is ensured by means of an ionization probe or a UV flame detector.
Ignition spark proving with a UV flame detector is also possible.
When used in connection with a gas valve proving system LDU11... (refer to Data
Sheet 7696), the control sequence of the LFE1 can be extended to include automatic
gas valve proving.
All types of LFE1... burner controls comply with the relevant European standards for
gas and oil burners of any capacity.
The LFE1... can control the following burner plant components:
fan motor, flue gas fan, air damper, ignition transformer, 1 to 3 fuel valves, load controller and an external lockout warning device.

Special features
Warning notes
To avoid injury to persons, damage to property or the environment, the following
warning notes should be observed!
Before performing any wiring changes in the connection area of the LFE1, completely isolate the burner control from the mains supply (all-polar disconnection)
Ensure protection against electric shock hazard by providing adequate protection
for the terminals
Check wiring and all safety functions
Press the lockout reset button only manually, without using any tools or pointed
objects
Fall or shock can adversely affect the safety functions. Such units may not be put
into operation, even if they do not exhibit any damage
Sealing screws may only be loosened and factory settings may only be changed by
authorized staff
Mounting notes
Ensure that the relevant national safety regulations are complied with
Locate the ignition electrode and ionization probe such that the ignition spark cannot arc over to the ionization probe (risk of electric overloads)

Mechanical design
The LFE1... is of plug-in design and can be mounted in any position, on the burner, on
a control panel, or inside a control cabinet.
The spacious terminal base and the housing are made of impact-proof and flameretarding plastic.
The sequence switch, which is driven by a synchronous motor, the auxiliary relays, the
electronic flame signal amplifier and all other switching, control and adjusting elements
are mounted on robust printed circuit boards and included in the test circuit of the
burner control.
The burner control is secured to its base with 4 screws. The unit cover is protected
against tampering by means of 2 sealing screws (refer to Dimensions).
A unit fuse protects the control contacts.

Function
Prerequisites for
burner startup
Program sequence
on startup
First, the fan motor is activated via terminal 3, and the actuator is controlled via
terminal 22.
As soon as the air damper reaches its fully open position, the burner controls sequence switch starts running and the prepurge time commences.
The minimum air pressure set on the air pressure monitor must be reached within 10
seconds (5 seconds with the LFE1.1) (or 7 seconds [3.5 seconds with the LFE1.1] with
postpurging) and must be maintained until controlled shutdown occurs. Otherwise, the
burner control will initiate lockout.
A flame signal during the prepurge time also leads to lockout.
On completion of the set prepurge time, the air damper receives the control command
to return to the fully closed position.
The sequence switch remains stationary during the time the air damper travels to its
closed position.
As soon as the signal contact for minimum air is operated by the actuator, the sequence switch starts running again and continues with the burners program sequence,
which can no longer be influenced from externally:
Preignition (3 seconds / 1.5 seconds with the LFE1.1)
Release of the first fuel value at terminal 5 (the fuel valve of a pilot burner, which
must be shut on completion of the second safety time, must be connected to terminal 10)
Completion of the set safety time. If no flame is established during that period of
time, lockout will occur (always with interlocking of the burner control)
Following an interval of 11 seconds (5.5 seconds with the LFE1.1) of the first fuel
valve, the second fuel valve will be released
The pilot burner, if connected to terminal 10, will be shut
The load controller will be switched on following a further interval of 12 seconds (6
seconds with the LFE1.1). The burners operating position has thus been reached.
From now on, the load controller controls the burners output by increasing or decreasing the fuel throughput and the air flow in response to the heat demand (air /
fuel ratio control). This can be accomplished either in a stepwise fashion, e.g. with
a thermostat, or continuously by means of a modulating controller
Loss of flame during operation always leads to lockout.
In principle, the program sequence is the same as that without ignition spark proving.
Exceptions:
If the UV flame detector does not receive an input signal during the preignition
time, lockout will occur before any gas is released, that is, safety time TSA = 0
seconds
With ignition spark proving, the safety time for the pilot burner can only be adjusted
between 0...6 seconds (= TSA in the sequence diagram of the sequence switch)

Control sequence
following a controlled
shutdown
Controlled shutdown takes place as soon as one of the control or monitoring devices in
the control loop between terminals 8 and 9 opens its contacts.
As a result, the fuel valves are immediately shut and the sequence switch is restarted
to program postpurging, if scheduled.
On completion of the postpurge time, the sequence switch has reached its start position
again, which is maintained until the next switch-on command is given.
During the postpurge time, flame supervision is started again. Hence, any flame signal
that occurs during that period of time will lead to lockout.
Control sequence
following lockout reset
After pressing the built-in or remote lockout reset button, the sequence switch will return to its start position.
In that case, the only burner plant component that is switched on is the fan motor connected to terminal 17.
Since in normal circumstances the control thermostat or pressurestat continues to call
for heat, the burner control immediately triggers a new start when the start position is
reached.
Program indicator
The program indicator continuously indicates the progress of the startup sequence.
The letters on the indicator disk correspond to those in the adjacent sequence switch
diagram. The numbers give the remaining prepurge time.
In the event of lockout, both sequence switch and program indicator stop, showing the
phase of operation during which lockout occurred.

Connection examples for modulating burner control including checked air damper operation
Modulating burners designed for the continuous adjustment of the burners output require a temperature or pressure
control system, in addition to the standard burner control equipment, for example:
Modulating controller
Temperature or pressure sensor with integrated setpoint adjuster
Actuator for control of the air damper and the fuel throughput (air / fuel ratio control)
Auxiliary relay
Selector
Control valve or similar for adjustment of the amount of fuel
