Ecom-AK Digital Firing Automates

Intended Use

The read-out head ecom-AK enables the recall of data made available by digital firings automats. Information like trouble sources, error history, flame signal and operation voltage are received by the ecom-AK as optical signal at the reset button of the firing automat and shown on the graphic display.
In addition, the ecom-AK read-out head can be optionally connected to the PC to to read out data and to create documentation. The ecom-AK is able to identify the make and the model of the following firing automats:

4. Error
   Satronic: Display of the current and the last 2 errors. Fault description, flame signal with operation-voltage at fault, time of fault shut- down are displayed in 3-second intervals.
   Siemens: Display of the current and last 5 faults, with number of burner starts when the fault occurred.

5. Statistics
   Satronic: Display Total number of faults, number of „extraneous light“ faults, number of „no flame after safety time“ faults, number of „flame failure“ faults, total number of burner starts, number of burner starts since resetting the service counter.
   Siemens: Total number of burner starts, number of burner starts since resetting the service counter.
