7800 SERIES RM7824A RELAY MODULE
Dynamic Input Check
PRINCIPAL TECHNICAL FEATURES
All system input circuits are examined to assure that the
RM7824A is capable of recognizing the true status of external
controls, limits and interlocks. If any input fails this test, a
safety shutdown occurs and the fault will be annunciated.
The RM7824A provides all customary flame safeguard
functions while providing significant advancements in the
areas of safety, annunciation and system diagnostics.
Dynamic Safety Relay Test
Safety Shutdown (Lockout) Occurs If:
Checks the ability of the dynamic safety relay contact to open
and close. Verifies that the safety critical loads, terminals 8, 9
and 10, can be de-energized, as required, by the Dynamic
Self-check logic.
1. INITIATE PERIOD.
a. 24 Vdc power errors occurred, see Operation
section.
b. Configuration jumper has been changed (after
200 hours).
c. Four minute INITIATE period has been exceeded.
2. STANDBY PERIOD.
Dynamic Self-Check Safety Circuit
The microcomputer tests itself and related hardware, and at
the same time, the safety relay system tests the
microcomputer operation. If a microcomputer or safety relay
failure occurs and does not allow proper execution of the self-
check routine, safety shutdown occurs and all safety critical
loads will be de-energized.
a. Flame signal is present after 40 seconds.
b. Ignition/intermittent pilot valve terminal is
energized.
c. Internal system fault occurred.
d. Main valve terminal is energized.
3. SAFE START CHECK.
a. Flame signal is present.
b. Ignition/intermittent pilot valve terminal is
energized.
Expanded Safe-Start Check
The conventional safe-start check, which prevents burner
start-up if flame is indicated at start-up, is expanded to
include a flame signal check during STANDBY and a safety
critical load check.
c. Internal system fault occurred.
d. Main valve terminal is energized.
4. PILOT FLAME ESTABLISHING PERIOD (PFEP).
a. Ignition/intermittent pilot valve terminal is not
energized.
b. Internal system fault occurred.
c. Main valve terminal is energized.
d. No flame present at end of PFEP.
5. RUN PERIOD.
Off Cycle (Standby) Flame Signal Check
The flame detection subsystem (flame detector and amplifier)
is monitored during STANDBY. If a flame simulating condition
or an actual flame exists for 40 seconds in STANDBY, a safety
shutdown occurs and startup is prevented. If the flame signal
exists at any time after the 40 seconds during STANDBY, a
safety shutdown occurs and is annunciated. The self-checking
detector is energized for the first 40 seconds during
a. Ignition terminal is energized.
b. Internal system fault occurred.
c. Main valve terminal is not energized.
d. No flame present.
STANDBY and the last two seconds before exiting STANDBY.
If a flame exists after the first 40 seconds during STANDBY,
the self-checking detector is energized during the last ten
seconds of the 40 second flame detection period. If a flame
exists, a safety shutdown occurs.
e. Pilot valve terminal is not energized.
SAFETY PROVISIONS
Safety and logic timings are inaccessible and cannot be
altered or defeated.
Internal Hardware Status Monitoring
The RM7824A analyzes the integrity of the configuration
jumper and internal hardware. The POWER LED will blink
every four seconds, signifying an internal hardware check.
Verified Spark Termination
The ignition terminal is monitored to assure early spark
termination (ten seconds ignition and pilot and ten seconds
pilot and main only).
Closed Loop Logic Test
The test verifies the integrity of all safety critical loads,
terminals 8, 9 and 10. If the loads are not energized properly;
i.e., the main valve terminal is powered during STANDBY, the
RM7824A will lockout on safety shutdown. The RM7824A
must react to input changes but avoid the occurrence of
nuisance shutdown events. Signal conditioning is applied to
24 Vdc voltage inputs to verify proper operation in the
presence of normal electrical line noise such as transient high
voltage spikes or short periods of voltage dropout.
First-Out Annunciation and Self-Diagnostics
Sequence Status Lights (LEDs) provide positive visual
indication of the program sequence: POWER, PILOT, FLAME,
MAIN and ALARM. The green POWER LED blinks every four
seconds, signifying that the RM7824A hardware is running
correctly.
Optional multi-function Keyboard Display Module shows
elapsed time during PILOT IGNITION. As an additional
troubleshooting aid, it provides sequence timing, diagnostic
information and historical information during normal operation
or when a safety shutdown or hold occurs.
Dynamic Flame Amplifier and Shutter Check
Self-checking circuitry tests all electronic components in the
flame detection system and amplifier twelve times per minute
and shuts down the RM7824A if the detection system fails.

7800 SERIES RM7824A RELAY MODULE
First-out Annunciation reports the cause of a safety shutdown
or identifies the cause of a failure to start or continue the
burner control sequence with an English text and numbered
code via the optional Keyboard Display Module. It monitors all
field input circuits, including the flame signal amplifier. The
system distinguishes 39 modes of failure and detects and
annunciates difficult-to-find intermittent failures.
7. All external timers must be listed or component
recognized by authorities who have jurisdiction for the
specific purpose for which they are used.
IMPORTANT
1. For on-off gas-fired systems, some authorities who
have jurisdiction prohibit the wiring of any limit or
operating contacts in series between the flame
safeguard control and the main fuel valve(s).
2. Two C7024E,F Detectors can be connected in
parallel.
Self-diagnostics add to the First-out Annunciation by allowing
the RM7824A to distinguish between field (external device)
and internal (system related) problems. Faults associated
within the flame detection subsystem or RM7824A are
isolated and reported by the optional Keyboard Display
Module. See the 7800 SERIES System Annunciation
Diagnostics and Troubleshooting, form 65-0118.
3. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate
radio frequency energy, and if not installed and
used in accordance with the instructions, may

Keep the flame signal leadwires as short as possible from the
flame detector to the wiring subbase. Capacitance increases
with wire length, reducing the signal strength. The maximum
permissible leadwire length depends on the type of flame
detector, leadwire and conduit. The ultimate limiting factor in
the flame detector leadwire is the flame signal (see Table 6).

The RM7824A enters the INITIATE sequence if the Relay
Module verifies voltage fluctuations of outside 22 to 28 Vdc
during any part of the operating sequence. The INITIATE
sequence lasts for ten seconds unless the voltage tolerance
is not met. When the tolerance is not met, a hold condition will
be initiated and will be displayed on the optional Keyboard
Display Module for at least five seconds. When the tolerance
is met, the INITIATE sequence will restart. If the condition is
not corrected and the hold condition exists for four minutes,
the RM7824A will lock out. Causes for hold conditions in the

CAUTION
WARNING
If an RM7824A is replaced with a lower or higher
functioning 7800 SERIES Relay Module, the burner
will not sequence unless wiring changes are made.
Do not allow fuel to accumulate in the combustion
chamber. If fuel is allowed to enter the chamber for
longer than a few seconds without igniting, an
explosive mixture could result. It is recommended that
you limit the trial for pilot to ten seconds, and limit the
attempt to light the main burner to two seconds from
the time the fuel has reached the burner nozzle. In
any case, do not exceed the nominal lightoff time
specified by the equipment manufacturer. Close the
manual shutoff valve(s) if the flame is not burning at
the end of the specified time.

7. If necessary, resight or reposition the detector.
7. When the pilot ignites, measure the flame signal. If the
pilot flame signal is unsteady or approaching the 1.25 Vdc
minimum value, adjust the pilot flame size or detector
sighting to provide a maximum and steady flame signal.
8. Recycle the system to recheck lightoff and pilot flame
signal.
9. When the RUN period is displayed by the MAIN LED,
make sure the automatic main fuel valve is open; then
smoothly open the manual main fuel shutoff valve(s)
and watch for main burner flame ignition. When the
main burner flame is established, proceed to step 16.
10. If the main burner flame is not established within five
seconds or the normal lightoff time specified by the
equipment manufacturer, close the manual main fuel
shutoff valve(s).
Initial Lightoff Check for Proved Pilot.
Perform this check on all installations that use a pilot. It
should immediately follow the preliminary inspection.
NOTE: Low fuel pressure limits, if used, could be open. If so,
bypass them with jumpers during this check.
1. Open the master switch.
2. Make sure that the manual main fuel shutoff valve(s) is
closed. Open the manual pilot shutoff valve. If the pilot
takeoff is downstream from the manual main fuel
shutoff valve(s), slightly open the manual main valve to
supply pilot gas flow. Make sure the main fuel is shut off
just upstream from the burner inlet, or disconnect power
from the automatic main fuel valve(s).
3. Close the master switch and start the system with a call
for heat by raising the setpoint of the operating
controller (see Fig. 12 or RM7824A sequence). The
primary sequence should start the SAFE-START
CHECK sequence.
4. Let the sequence advance through STANDBY and
SAFE-START CHECK. Ignition spark should occur and
the pilot should light. If the pilot ignites, the FLAME LED
will be energized. Proceed to step 7.
5. If the pilot flame is not established in four or ten
seconds, safety shutdown occurs. Let the sequence
complete its cycle. Consult the equipment operating
manual for further information.
11. Recycle the system to recheck lightoff and pilot flame
signal.
12. Let the RM7824A recycle to the RUN period. Smoothly
open the manual fuel shutoff valve(s) and try lightoff
again. (The first attempt may have been required to
purge the lines and bring sufficient fuel to the burner.)
13. If the main burner flame is not established within five
seconds or the normal lightoff time specified by the
equipment manufacturer, close the manual main fuel
shutoff valve(s). Check all burner adjustments.
14. If the main burner flame is not established after two
attempts:
a. Check for improper pilot size.
b. Check for excess combustion air.
c. Check for inadequate fuel flow.
d. Check for proper gas supply pressure.
e. Check for proper valve operation.
f. Check for proper pilot flame positioning.
15. Repeat steps 10 through 14 to establish the main
burner flame, then proceed to step 16.
16. With the sequence in RUN, make burner adjustments
for flame stability and Btu input rating.
6. Push the reset pushbutton and let the system recycle
once. If the pilot still does not ignite, make the following
ignition/pilot adjustments:
a. Open the master switch and remove the
RM7824A from the subbase.
b. On the subbase, jumper terminal 3 to ignition
terminal 8 or 10; refer to the appropriate subbase
wiring diagram to determine the proper terminal.
Disconnect the leadwire to the pilot valve if it is
connected to the same terminal.
c. Close the master switch to energize only the
ignition transformer.
d. If the ignition spark is not strong and continuous,
open the master switch and adjust the ignition
electrode spark gap setting to the manufacturer
recommendation.
e. Make sure the ignition electrodes are clean.
f. Close the master switch and observe the spark.
g. After a continuous spark is obtained, open the
master switch and add a jumper on the subbase
from terminal 3 to the pilot terminal 8. Reconnect
the leadwire from the pilot valve if it was
disconnected in step b.
h. Close the master switch to energize both the
ignition transformer and the pilot valve.
17. Shut down the system by opening the burner switch or
by lowering the setpoint of the operating controller.
Make sure the main flame goes out. There may be a
delay due to gas trapped between the valve(s) and the
burner. Make sure the automatic fuel valve(s) closes.
18. Restart the system by closing the burner switch and/or
raising the setpoint of the operating controller. Observe
that the pilot is established during PILOT IGNITION and
the main burner flame is established during RUN within
the normal lightoff time.
19. Measure the flame signal. Continue to check for the
proper signal, see Table 6, through the RUN period.
20. Run the burner through another sequence, observing
the flame signal for:
a. Pilot flame alone (unless using direct spark
ignition).
b. Pilot and main flame together.
c. Main flame alone (unless monitoring an
intermittent pilot).
Also observe the time it takes to light the main flame. Ignition
of the main flame should be smooth.
21. Return the system to normal operation.
22. Make sure all readings are in the required ranges
before proceeding.
i.
If the pilot does not ignite and if the ignition spark
is still continuous, adjust the pressure regulator
until a pilot is established.

Initial Lightoff Check for Direct Spark
Ignition
This check applies for gas and oil burners that do not use a
pilot and it should immediately follow the preliminary
inspection. Refer to the appropriate sample block diagram of
field wiring for the ignition transformer and fuel valve(s)
hookup.
NOTE: Low pressure fuel limits, if used, could be open. If so,
bypass them with jumpers during this check.
19. Restart the system by closing the burner switch and/or
raising the setpoint of the operating controller. Observe
that the burner flame is established during PILOT
IGNITION, within the normal lightoff time specified by
the equipment manufacturer.
20. Measure the flame signal. Continue to check for the
proper signal, see Table 6, through the RUN period. Any
pulsating or unsteady readings will require further
attention.
1. Open the master switch.
2. Complete the normal checkout of the fuel supply and
equipment as recommended by the equipment
manufacturer.
3. Close all manual main fuel shutoff valve(s). Check that
the automatic fuel valve(s) are closed. Make sure fuel is
not entering the combustion chamber.
4. Close the master switch and start the system with a call
for heat by raising the setpoint of the operating
controller see Fig. 11 or RM7824A sequencing. The
primary sequence should start with the SAFE-START
sequence.
5. Let the sequence advance through STANDBY and
SAFE-START CHECK to Ignition Trial. Ignition spark
should occur. Listen for the click of the first stage fuel
solenoid valve(s).
21. Make sure all readings are within the required ranges
before proceeding.
NOTE: Upon completing these tests, open the master
switch and remove all test jumpers from the
subbase terminals, limits/controls or switches.
22. Return the system to normal operation.
6. Let the program sequence complete its cycle.
7. Open the manual fuel shutoff valve(s).
8. Push the reset pushbutton and recycle the program
sequence through STANDBY and SAFE-START
CHECK.
9. Watch for the FLAME LED to help determine when the
first stage burner flame is established. If it is
established, proceed to step 15.
10. If the first stage burner flame is not established within
four seconds, or within the normal lightoff time specified
by the equipment manufacturer, close the manual fuel
shutoff valve(s) and open the master switch.
11. Check all burner adjustments.
Pilot Turndown Test (All Installations
Using a Pilot)
Perform this check on all installations that use a pilot. The
purpose of this test is to verify that the main burner can be lit
by the smallest pilot flame that will hold in the flame amplifier
and energize the FLAME LED. Clean the flame detector(s) to
make sure that it will detect the smallest acceptable pilot
flame. When using Self-checking Amplifier and 20K ohm/volt
voltmeter, the flame signal will fluctuate every time the
amplifier does a self-check or a shutter check.
12. Wait about three minutes. Close the master switch,
open the manual fuel shutoff valve(s), and try again to
light off the burner. The first attempt may have been
required to purge the lines and bring sufficient fuel to
the burner.
13. If the first stage burner flame is not established within
four seconds, or within the normal lightoff time specified
by the equipment manufacturer, close the manual fuel
shutoff valve(s) and open the master switch.
14. If necessary, repeat steps 11 through 13 to establish
the first stage burner flame, then proceed to step 15.
15. When the first stage burner flame is established, the
sequence will advance to RUN. Make burner
adjustments for flame stability and input rating. If a
second stage is used, proceed to step 18.
NOTE: Low fuel pressure limits, if used, could be open. If so,
bypass them with jumpers during this test.
1. Open the master switch.
2. Close the main fuel shutoff valve(s).
3. Connect a manometer (or pressure gauge) to measure
pilot gas pressure during the turndown test.
4. Open the manual pilot shutoff valve(s).
5. Close the master switch and start the system with a call
for heat by raising the setpoint of the operating
controller. The primary sequence should start and
PILOT IGNITION should begin.
6. After the sequence has entered the normal burner run
period, very slowly turn the pilot gas pressure down,
reading the manometer (or pressure gauge) as the
pressure drops. Stop immediately when the FLAME
LED goes out. Note the pressure at this point.
16. Shut down the system by opening the burner switch or
by lowering the setpoint of the operating controller.
Make sure the burner flame goes out and make sure all
automatic fuel valve(s) close.
17. If used, remove the bypass jumpers from the low fuel
pressure limit and subbase.
18. If a second stage is used, make sure the automatic
second stage fuel valve(s) has opened, check the
lightoff as follows. Otherwise, proceed to step 19:
a. Open the manual second stage fuel valve(s).
NOTE: If there is not flame present for the selected
Flame Failure Response Test (FFRT), the
RM7824A will lock out.
a. Push the reset pushbutton and allow the
RM7824A to recycle to PILOT IGNITION.

7800 SERIES RM7824A RELAY MODULE
b. As the control attempts to relight the pilot,
increase the pilot pressure immediately until the
FLAME LED comes on, and then slowly turn it
down to obtain a pressure reading just above the
dropout point or until the flame signal increases
to approximately 1.25 Vdc. This step must be
completed within four or ten seconds, depending
on the selected PFEP, or lockout will occur.
c. Turn the pilot back down slightly but not enough
to cause the FLAME LED to go out. (Keep the
pilot gas pressure just above the reading noted in
step 6 above.)
Response to Other Ultraviolet Sources
Under certain conditions, an ultraviolet detector will respond
to other ultraviolet sources as if it is sensing a flame. These
ultraviolet sources include artificial light, such as
incandescent or fluorescent bulbs, mercury and sodium vapor
lamps or daylight. To check for proper detector operation,
check the Flame Failure Response Time (FFRT) and conduct
Safety Shutdown tests under all operating conditions.
Flame Signal with Hot Combustion
Chambers (All Installations)
After all initial start-up tests and burner adjustments are
completed, operate the burner until the combustion chamber
is at the maximum expected temperature. Observe the
equipment manufacturer warm-up instructions. Recycle the
burner under these hot conditions and measure the flame
signal. Check the pilot alone for non-DSI applications or the
main burner flame for DSI applications.
NOTE: Step d requires two people to complete,
one person to open the manual main
fuel valve(s) and one to watch for
ignition.
d. With the sequence in the normal burner run mode,
make sure that the automatic main fuel valve(s) is
open. Smoothly open the manual main fuel shutoff
valve(s) and watch for main burner lightoff.
e. If the main flame is not established within five
seconds or the normal lightoff period specified by
the burner manufacturer, close the manual main
fuel shutoff valve(s) and open the master switch.
Then return to step 6.a. If the burner flame is
established in the normal lightoff period, proceed
to step 10.
Check the FFRT of the Flame Amplifier. Lower the setpoint of
the operating controller and observe the time it takes for the
burner flame to go out. This should be within three seconds
maximum.
If the flame signal is too low or unsteady, check the flame
detector temperature. Relocate the detector if the temperature
is too high. If necessary, realign the sighting to obtain the
proper signal and response time. Then if the response time
continues to be too slow, replace the Plug-in Flame Signal
Amplifier.
7. Recycle the burner and let the sequence advance to
the PILOT IGNITION period.
8. Increase the pilot flame size by increasing its fuel flow
until a smooth main flame is accomplished.
9. Reposition the flame scanner sight tube or use orifices
until the pilot flame signal voltage is approximately
1.25 to 1.50 Vdc.
10. When the main burner lights reliably with the pilot at
turndown, disconnect the manometer (or pressure
gauge) and turn the pilot gas flow up to that
recommended by the equipment manufacturer.
11. If used, remove the bypass jumpers from the subbase
terminals, limits/control or switches.
Safety Shutdown Tests (All Installations)
Perform these tests at the end of Checkout section after all
other tests have been completed. If used, the external alarm
should turn on. Press the RM7824A reset pushbutton to
restart the system.
1. Detect flame 40 seconds after entry to STANDBY.
a. Simulate a flame to cause the flame signal
voltage level to be at least 1.25 Vdc for 30 sec-
onds after the initial 40 second entry into
STANDBY.
b. Safety shutdown will occur.
2. Failure to ignite pilot.
12. Run the system through another cycle to check for
normal operation.
13. Return the system to normal operation.
a. Close the pilot and main fuel manual shutoff
valve(s).
b. Depress the reset pushbutton.
c. Start the system.
d. Automatic pilot valve(s) should be energized but
the pilot cannot ignite.
Ultraviolet Sensor, Ignition Spark Response
Test (All Ultraviolet Detectors)
Test to be sure that the ignition spark is not actuating the
FLAME LED:
1. Close the pilot and main burner manual fuel shutoff
valve(s).
2. Start the burner and run through the PILOT IGNITION
period. Ignition spark should occur, but the flame signal
should not be more than 0.5 Vdc and the FLAME LED
should not turn on.
3. If the flame signal is higher than 0.5 Vdc and the
FLAME LED does come on, consult the equipment
Operating Manual and resight the detector further out
from the spark, or away from possible reflection. If may
be necessary to construct a barrier to block the ignition
spark from the detector view. Continue adjustments
until the flame signal due to ignition spark is less than
0.5 Vdc.
e. Safety shutdown will occur.
3. Loss of flame during RUN.
a. Open the main fuel manual shutoff valve(s).The
manual pilot shutoff valve(s) must also be opened.
b. Depress the reset pushbutton.
c. Start the system. Startup should be normal and
the main burner should light normally.
d. After the sequence is in the normal RUN period
for at least ten seconds with the main burner
firing, close the manual main and pilot fuel shutoff
valve(s) to extinguish the main burner flame.
e. The flame signal should drop below 1.25 Vdc within
three seconds after the main flame goes out.
f.
Safety shutdown will occur.

7800 SERIES RM7824A RELAY MODULE
IMPORTANT
The Expanded Annunciator Terminal Status is not available
with the RM7824A. With this information, most problems can
be diagnosed without extensive trial and error testing.
Information available in the Diagnostic Information file
includes: Device Type, Device Suffix, Software Revision,
Manufacturing Code, Flame Amplifier Type, Flame Failure
Response Time, Selectable Jumper Configuration Status and
Terminal Status.
1. If the RM7824A fails to shut down on any of these
tests, take corrective action (refer to
Troubleshooting, RM7824A diagnostics and
return to the beginning of all Checkout tests).
2. When all Checkout tests have been completed,
reset all switches to original states.
Diagnostic Information Index
TROUBLESHOOTING
The RM7824A with the optional Keyboard Display Module
can monitor input/output terminals and can display the status
of the terminal at the VFD (eg, Pilot Valve T9 ON<), see
S7800A Keyboard Display Module Specifications. A complete
terminal description and terminal number are provided. The
display will show the actual status of the terminal. If voltage is
detected at the terminal, ON is displayed; but if voltage is not
present at the terminal, OFF is displayed.
RM7824A System Diagnostics
Troubleshooting control system equipment failures is easier
with the RM7824A self-diagnostics and first-out annunciation.
In addition to an isolated spst alarm relay (audible
annunciation), the RM7824A provides visual annunciation by
displaying the ALARM LED.
Self-diagnostics of the RM7824A enable it to detect and
annunciate both external and internal system problems.
External faults such as flame failures and false flame signals
are annunciated by a lockout of the RM7824A that energizes
the ALARM LEDs by using the optional Keyboard Display
Module or 7800 SERIES System Annunciation Diagnostics
and Troubleshooting, form 65-0118.
Historical Information
The RM7824A has nonvolatile memory that allows the Relay
Module to retain historical information for the six most recent
lockouts. Each of the six lockout files retains the cycle when
the fault occurred, the hour of operation when the fault
occurred and the fault message and burner status when the
fault occurred. The historical information can be viewed by the
optional S7800A Keyboard Display Module.
The RM7824A provides diagnostic information to aid the
service mechanic to obtain information when troubleshooting
the system; see Table 7 and Table 8.
SERVICE NOTE: To check voltages, remove the access slot
covers on the sides of the Q7800A,B.
The optional Keyboard Display Module displays sequence
status messages indicating: INITIATE, STANDBY, SAFE-
START CHECK, PILOT IGN and RUN. The selectable
messages also provide visual indication, current status and
historical status of the equipment such as: Flame Signal, Total
Cycles, Total Hours, Fault History and Diagnostic Information.
CAUTION
Reinstall access slot covers on the Q7800A,B
Subbase after performing voltage checks.

Table 7. Sequence And Status Hold Information.
NOTE: Normal sequences are in bold type, while abnormal sequences are in standard type.
Sequence
Information
INITIATE
The LED indicates the burner status, POWER, which is a stabilization period for
the RM7824A to check for any fluctuations in dc voltage inputs or control input on
power-up or during normal operation.
If the RM7824A is in a HOLD status, the following conditions could exist:
INITIATE HOLD (Vdc Frequency/noise)
The LED indicates the burner status, POWER, and that the RM7824A is waiting
for excess line noise to clear up. The burner sequence will not advance into
STANDBY until the excess line noise, which prevents sufficient read of the voltage
inputs, ceases.
INITIATE HOLD (AC Line Dropout)
INITIATE HOLD (AC Frequency)
INITIATE HOLD (Low Line Voltage)
STANDBY
The led indicates the burner status, POWER, and that DC Bus power has
momentarily dropped out. The burner sequence will not advance into STANDBY
until the DC Bus voltage has stabilized throughout the INITIATE sequence.
The LED indicates the burner status, POWER, and that the internal timing
functions are out of synchronization. The burner sequence will not advance into
STANDBY until the internal timing is synchronized.
The LED indicates the burner status, POWER, and that low DC Bus voltage has
occurred. The burner sequence will not advance into STANDBY until the DC Bus
voltage is at a sufficient level for proper operating parameters.
The LED indicates the burner status, POWER. The burner can be placed in
STANDBY by opening the burner switch or if the operating controller indicates its
setpoint has been satisfied. If a demand is present for burner operation, the burner
sequence will not advance from STANDBY to SAFE START CHECK until the
recycle limits close.
If the RM7824A is in a HOLD status, the following conditions could exist:
STANDBY HOLD: F/G (Flame Detected) The LEDs indicate the burner status, POWER and FLAME, and that a flame is
detected. A demand is present for burner operation. The burner sequence will not
advance to SAFE START CHECK because a flame is detected as being present.
The sequence will not advance to SAFE START CHECK until the flame signal
clears. If the flame signal does not clear within
40 seconds, the RM7824A will lockout.
SAFE START CHECK
PILOT IGN
The LED indicates the burner status, POWER, which is the period of time after
STANDBY. The RM7824A is verifying that a flame is not present before the start
of Ignition Trials. If a flame is present, the RM7824A will recycle to STANDBY.
The LEDs indicate the burner status, POWER, PILOT and FLAME, which is the
period of time the RM7824A permits the pilot valve and ignition to be energized
and the pilot flame to be established.
RUN
The LEDs indicate the burner status, POWER, PILOT, FLAME and MAIN, which is
the period of time after the Ignition Trials and before the operating controller
setpoint is reached. During this time, the burner is firing under the control of the
operating controller.
RESET/ALARM TEST
The LED indicates the burner status, POWER and ALARM. This condition
indicates that the reset pushbutton is pressed. If it is held for more than four
seconds, the alarm output is energized. The alarm output will be de-energized
after the reset pushbutton is released.
