Installation

NOTICE: All installation and connection work may be carried out by qualified and approved specialist staff only! The legal regulations as well as adjustment instructions of the plant operator have to be observed!

The KLC 10 should be mounted close to the flame with straight alignment. The flame detector should be mounted with the mounting flange KLC or another suitable holder with Ø14 mm opening. Fix the UV flame detector with the holder. The angle of view, especially with sight tubes, must be of appropriate dimensions to avoid any reduction of flame radiation. Protect the sensor against other light sources. To prevent faults, the direct view of an ignition spark must be avoided. Faults in the pre-purge phase can be caused by this. The maximum cable length of the connection cable must be observed. The connection cable must be kept separate from high-energy ignition and mains cables and must not be laid parallel to them over long distances.

DANGER: For safety reasons and technical regulations a controlled burner shut down of at least once per 24 hours must be guaranteed. By the KLC 10 implementation the BMS has to check the UV tube after every normal shut-down the UV flame detector for the availability of a flame signal there.Otherwise the KLC 11 has to be used.

For the mounting BST solutions offers different accessories:

Mounting flange KLC

• The mounting flange KLC serves for to the admission, attachment and adjustment of the UV flame detector.
• Two overall heights with 7 and 13 mm are available. By means of an O-ring the mounting flange KLC can be simply sealed to the burner housing.

Adapter ADP

The ADP adapter makes it possible to mount the UV flame detectors KLC 10 with additional axial alignment directly on a combustion chamber opening. A quartz glass serves as a pressure barrier and prevents the escape of heating gases from the combustion chamber. For the application of the flame detector KLC at high surface temperatures, the version made of heat-insulating material should be used.

Description

Functional description KLC 10

The KLC 10 is a UV flame detector specially designed for single burner applications that produce almost no radiation in the visible light spectrum or operate with very low flame modulation. The design of the UV sensor ensures that the flame detector does not react to background radiation from hot refractory or from any other infrared light source. Adjustments during commissioning and maintenance are not necessary! The flame signal intensity can be easily recognised via an LED as an optical display. The UVTCom readout tool with the BST-Com PC software enables the flame signals to be displayed and logged. The UV flame detector provides the burner control with the safety- related and switched ionization current simulation signal.

The KLC 10 can be connected directly to the ionisation or LDR input of the burner control. It is compatible with other devices of the KLC series in its dimensions, connection dimensions and pin assignment. All accessories are therefore identical and reduce the variety of parts in production and service. According to EN298:2012-11, it is mandatory for the burner control box of the KLC 10 model to carry out a flame test after the control shutdown (post-flare control). The flame detector must be checked at least once every 24 hours. This checks both the burner for possible afterburning and the UV tube itself for integrity. Otherwise, use the KLC 11 model.

Optionally function blocks for KLC 10

Relay module for flame detectors RMF 1

The UV flame detector KLC 10 is a low power signal out-put equipped to simulate ionizationtion or LDR signal. If a relay switch contact is required, the use of RMF 1 is rec-ommended. The RMF 1 has an electrically isolated changeover contact with a maximum switching voltage of 250 V AC, a maximum switching current of 1 A and a maximum rating of 250 VA. More information can be found in the operating manual of the RMF1 in its current version.

Operation of the UV flame detector

Test of the UV flame detector

To ensure the proper operation, the UV flame detector has to be testet several times by starting and stopping the burner. As long as there is no flame in all cases the ionization current simulation has to be switched off solid. The test should be repeat for different operation situations (see also datasheet). This is a essential condition for a safe and proper operation.

Operating indicator LED

Via the built-in LED the UV flame detector KLC 10 is indicating the following operating conditions:

LED /Meaning

indicated by the intensity of the flashing of the LED – fast flashing indicates a healthy flame si- gnal and vice versa – slow flashing indicates a weak flame signal.
on| KLC has detected the strongest level of flame signal.

Diagnostic with UVT-Com

With the data interface UVT-Com, consisting of optical adapter with cable, USB-Interface and software BST-Com, the following information can be read from the KLC 10:

• present pulses of the UV-tube

For this purpose, the USB-optoadapter UVT-Com must be inserted into the recess of the LED. Via the connection cable and the interface, the data can be read into a laptop or PC using the corresponding BST-Com software. Further information can be found in the BSTCom operating instructions.

Maintenance and servicing

Cleaning

For cleaning, use a moist cloth to wipe the housing from the outside only. For maintenance of the sight glass, please use a clean and lint free cloth. Do not use any kind of cleaning sprays or liquids.

NOTICE: Do not scratch the glass!

Maintenance interval

The UV flame detector should be checked as part of general system maintenance. Replacement of the flame detector is recommended after approximately 10,000 operating hours. At temperatures above 50°C, the intervals are shortened.

Safety-related check

Due to the natural aging of the UV-tube (10,000 h by ambient temperature less than 50°C), a safety-related check has to be done during every commissioning and maintenance. The following steps should be check:

• During start-up of the burner control the UV flame detector should be darkened. After the safety time the BMS should indicate a fault!
• During start-up of the burner control the UV flame detector should be lighted with an external UV radiation like a gas flame or lighter – the existing ambient light is not enough. The BMS should indicate a fault during the prepurge phase!
• During normal operation the UV flame detector should be darkened. Depending on the burner control a fault has to be indicated after safety time expired during anew start-up or directly after darken the flame detector.

Behavior in case of error

In case of malfunction the UV flame detector has to be exchanged and sent back to BST Solutions. After a operating time of more than 10,000 hours the UV-tube should be changed by manufacturer or authorized per-sonnel. The KLC 10 is a safety component and it is not allowed to open it!
