Exhaust Blower Installation
The exhaust canopy includes a blower to expel
excess heated air and moisture. This system
contributes to the safety and comfort of operating
personnel, proper operation of the unit, and
reduction of maintenance time.
All labor and materials required for venting the
unit are a local responsibility. Comply with local
codes and regulations for proper installation.
The exhaust blower is designed for vertical
installation directly on top of the exhaust canopy
(Figure 2-5). Remote mounting is possible if there
are height limitations or to reduce noise.
It is particularly important that a straight
section of ductwork be attached directly to the
blower discharge (Figure 2-6, A).
When installed, a blower can be rotated up to
45° to the left or right of vertical to help make
this configuration.
Ductwork
NOTE: Exceeding a 45° rotation
from vertical for the blower may
not maintain proper air movement
and may cause the sail switch to
operate incorrectly.
The 10” (254 mm) diameter ductwork for the
exhaust blower and all associated hardware for
the exhaust system must be locally supplied.
Follow local codes and good engineering
practice to design the exhaust system. Every
effort should be made to keep the ductwork as
short and straight as possible.
B
Check the canopy nameplate for the maximum
length of ductwork. For longer runs, a booster
blower may be required. Do not use elbows
greater than a 45° angle in the exhaust ducting.
If the blower vent ducting is to be connected
to a larger duct for outside venting, consult a
ventilation expert to ensure proper installation
and operation.
Locating the Exhaust Blower
Figure 2-5: Position each blower so that its input
is directly in line with the canopy
exhaust opening (B).
NOTE: Proper installation is
required for all warranties and
applicable certification labels to be
valid. Call the factory if you have
any questions.
CAUTION
Do not change the mounting
position of the sail switch
and do not reverse the
blower housing.

Venting the Installed Regulator
Required Tools
The top of the gas regulator must “breathe” in
order to operate properly and safely. The regulator
is designed to have a small amount of air in the
top section.
Pipe thread compound
Pipe wrench
A vent restrictor (Figure 2-14, B) is provided
on the vent of the regulator to allow it to breathe
and limit any escape of gas if the regulator fails.
Depending on local codes, a vent pipe or tube may
be required in place of the vent restrictor.
Safety requires the diameter of the vent pipe
to vary depending upon its length. A short run of
pipe can have a smaller diameter than a longer
pipe. The pipe size should never be smaller than
3/8” (10 mm). Follow local code requirements
and good engineering practices.
The discharge end of the vent pipe must be
protected. A hood is needed to keep out rain,
snow, and ice, and a screen must be provided to
keep out insects that could clog the discharge.
1. Turn power OFF at the main disconnect
switch.
2. Lockout the gas supply.
3. Remove the vent restrictor (Figure 2-14,
B) from the regulator (A).
4. Thread in any adapters required to increase
the diameter of the pipe.
5. Connect the rest of the piping to the discharge point.
6. Install a hood over the discharge of the
vent to keep out rain, snow, and ice.
7. Install a screen to prevent insects and
debris from clogging the discharge of the

Carefully consider the route the vent pipe
will have to follow from the back of the left
endframe to the final discharge point. Make this
run as short and straight as possible. Be sure the
pipe is protected from any mechanical damage
or restriction.
Generally accepted codes require the discharge
to be placed away from windows and other
openings. Follow local codes for maximum
safety.

5. Check the condition of the waxing cloth.
If the waxing cloth feels:
• Stiff when it is cool, it is sufficiently
waxed. Skip to Step 7.
• Limp when it is cool, more wax is
needed. Go to the next step.
WARNING
The waxing cloth will be hot
when it comes out of the unit
and may burn your hands.
Protect your hands.
7. Holding the waxing cloth tight from side to
side, feed the folded end into the ironer.
CAUTION
Abrasive chest type cleaners,
pads, and paste wax can
permanently damage the
ironing cylinder and return
ribbons, and void the factory
warranty.
• While feeding, lift the cloth off of the
feed ribbons to keep them as wax free
as possible.
• Also hold the trailing edge of the waxing cloth so wax does not drop onto the
canvas feed ribbons.
• Run it through the ironer two or three
times.
Never sprinkle wax directly
on ribbons, compression
roll, or ironing cylinder. This
will shorten the expected life
of the return ribbons.
WARNING
The waxing cloth must
always be cool when it is
stored. A hot, folded waxing
cloth can catch fire by
spontaneous combustion.
DO NOT over wax. The return
ribbon drive roll cover will
become smooth and the
return ribbons will slip.
6. Use a waxing cloth the width of the ironer
and 90” (230 cm) long:
8. When done with waxing, hang up the waxing cloth to cool. Extend it completely; do
not fold it up.
a) Make a fold in the middle of the piece
but do not complete the fold.
9. After the waxing cloth is completely cool,
store it in an appropriate manner.
b) On the inside section of the sheet, apply powdered wax, using from 1/4 to
1/2 lb (115-230 g). Use only Chicago
Dryer Company powdered wax (or
pure Karagami equivalent).
c) Spread the wax in a thin, uniform
layer.
d) Complete the fold, laying the unwaxed
portion over the waxed portion.

Flatwork Handling
Ironing Cylinder
It is very important how operators use the unit.
By following these guidelines, operators can
increase productivity, extend the life of the unit,
and most importantly-promote safety.
•
Use the entire length of the heated ironing
cylinder. This is especially important
when finishing pillowcases.
•
Work from side to side to prevent dirt
and heat buildup at the ends of the
ironing cylinder. This preserves padding
life.
•
Rewax the ironing cylinder before
ironing thicker flatwork such as
tablecloths. This will result in a better
finish quality.
Safety
•
Remove the flatwork only after it has
cleared the unit. Do not pull on the
finished flatwork while still in the unit.
•
Parts of the unit can be hotter than 300°
F (150° C). Severe burns can result.
Maximum Efficiency
•
Follow the posted standards for the type
of flatwork being processed.
•
Place the flatwork straight and square on
the feed ribbons.
•
Stretch the flatwork slightly to the sides
when feeding the flatwork into the unit.
•
Do not process flatwork with frayed
edges or loose threads as these can cause
jams.
•
Feed pillowcases lengthwise with the
closed end first.
•
Leave a small gap between each item
being processed when feeding flatwork.
•
Two operators should feed and receive
flatwork. While one operator is manually
folding flatwork, the other can prepare
the next piece of flatwork for processing.

7. Turn power OFF at the main disconnect
switch.
WARNING
Never leave the unit
unattended without first
following the Shut-Down
procedure above.
The conditioning of flatwork before processing
and the control settings on the unit will affect the
processing standards. The processing standards
ensure that flatwork is processed in a consistent
and efficient manner.
Conditioning Flatwork Before Ironing
There are several characteristics of flatwork
which are determined by processes before drying
and ironing, including:
•
Wash Load
•
Final Rinse
•
Moisture Retention
•
Timing Between Washing and Ironing
Wash Load
Temporary Shut-Down
At times it is necessary for operators to shut
down the unit for a short time. The following
steps are suggested for temporarily stopping
operation.
1. Turn the GAS switch to OFF and set the
TEMPERATURE CONTROL to zero.
WARNING
Never leave the
unit unattended while
it is running.
2. Turn the SPEED knob to the slowest
speed.
TOC
The wash load should consist of flatwork
with the same fabric blend. Mixing different
fabric blends in the same wash load can create
inconsistent results because different fabrics
retain different levels of moisture during the
extraction process. Such mixing can also create
excess lint on flatwork. The unit works most
efficiently when one type of flatwork is processed
at a time.
CAUTION
Starch only according to
a proper starch program.
Improper levels of starch will
build a residue on the ironing
surface and reduce the unit’s
ability to finish flatwork.
INDEX
3-13
Operating Guidelines
GO 20
Final Rinse
The final rinse can affect the quality of
flatwork finishing. It is important all flatwork be
thoroughly rinsed before entering the unit to keep
flatwork from sticking to the ironing cylinder. A
pH level of 7.2 is recommended.
Add a fabric softener to prevent static
electricity from causing the flatwork to stick.
Never use starch in the final rinse.
A warm rinse allows more water to be extracted
from the material. Thus, the unit needs to remove
less moisture from the flatwork. Additionally,
with warm flatwork, the unit does not have to
work as hard to keep at set temperature. This
produces flatwork with a dry, high quality
finish—more efficiently.
Moisture Retention
Another important factor in delivering a high
quality finish is the amount of moisture retained
(MR) in the flatwork. The correct MR helps to
determine the ironing speed and temperature—
drying flatwork after just one run through the
ironer.
A few important factors in moisture retention
(MR) before ironing are:
•
Wash formula–write down the standard
for consistency
•
Extraction process–write down the
standard for consistency
•
Tumble dry condition time–write down
the standard for consistency
•
Type of fabric–higher percentage of
cotton, the more moisture retained
•
Thickness of fabric–thinner material
retains less moisture
With too little moisture, flatwork can cause
static buildup problems. If too much moisture
is left in the flatwork, the ironing section must
work harder in order to process the work, by
either slowing down the speed or increasing the
temperature.
3-14
TOC
After extraction, the optimum MR is 30% 35% for polyester/cotton fabrics and 45% - 50%
for cotton fabrics.
1. Use a precise scale to measure the “still
wet, but extracted” flatwork; then weigh
again after the same flatwork is “completely dry”.
2. Subtract the weight of the “completely
dry” flatwork from the “still wet, but
extracted” flatwork. Divide the weight difference by the “completely dry” flatwork
weight. Finally, multiply the resulting
weight by 100 to determine the MR percentage.
The optimum MR after ironing is 4% or less.
Ironing is not intended to remove 100% of the
moisture from the flatwork. Therefore, feel the
flatwork when it first comes out of the unit; there
should be a slight moisture content.
Allow the flatwork to sit for a few minutes to
allow excess steam and heat to dissipate in the
air. Check the flatwork again; it should now feel
dry to the touch.
If the flatwork does not feel dry or to improve
the quality of finish and productivity, repeat
the Conditioning Flatwork Before Ironing
procedures.
Timing Between Washing and Ironing
The amount of time delayed between washing
and ironing/drying reduces the flatwork finish
quality due to fabric cooling and MR. Flatwork
needs to be ironed directly from the washer/
extractor whenever possible.
Start up the unit when the second load of wash
is entering the final extract cycle. Flatwork may
be put into carts from the washer and sorted out
as desired.
Be aware that flatwork that sits overnight or
longer will have uneven MR, and the operating
speed must be adjusted accordingly.
INDEX
GO 20
Operating Guidelines
Unit Settings
Ironing Speed
The following three unit settings affect the
final flatwork finish:
The ironing speed should be standardized
based on MR, fabric content and thickness for
flatwork to be properly dried and ironed.
•
Ironing Cylinder Temperature
•
Ironing Speed
•
Compression Roll Pressure
This information contributes to achieving the
best quality finished flatwork. Once processing
tests have been run on the different types of
flatwork, write down the results on the Operating
Standards form and post by the unit.
Thin, single layer material can be processed
at higher speeds. Double thickness items such as
pillowcases, and thicker material like tabletop
flatwork must be finished at lower speeds.
NOTE: Processing excessively
dry flatwork at too low a speed
may result in scorched flatwork.
Excessively moist flatwork,
processed at too high a speed will
result in a damp, poorly finished
piece of flatwork.
Refer to the APPENDIX, Operating Standard
form, for an authorized person to photocopy,
indicate, approve, and post the settings per
flatwork type.
NOTE: It is important to write
down the ironing settings that
produce the best quality finish
for each type of flatwork being
processed. These standards
should be posted. This removes
“guesswork” from the daily routine
and maximizes the efficiency and
consistency of the entire laundry
operation. Consistent washing
and ironing habits are the key to
quality results.
Compression Roll Pressure
Another factor dictating the amount of residual
moisture removed in the flatwork is the compression
roll pressure. The pressure also sets the calendering
effect—the stretching and sliding of the flatwork
to remove wrinkles and achieve a better quality
finish.
For more information, refer to the REPAIR
chapter, Compression Roll section, Compression
Roll Pressure Adjustment procedure.
Ironing Cylinder Temperature
In general, the lower the operating temperature,
the slower the unit must be run in order to produce
a quality flatwork finish.

GO 20
5. Set the temperature of the TEMPERATURE CONTROL for the fabric being
processed.
Processing Standards
CAUTION
This unit is NOT designed
to process folded flatwork.
Processing folded flatwork
could void the
manufacturers warranty.
• VISA®: 300-325° F (149-163° C)
• All cotton or polyester/cotton blends:
325-370° F (163-188° C).
Ironing System
For each type of flatwork processed, follow
the steps below. Once the best temperature
and speed settings for that flatwork type have
been found, the standards should be posted and
followed by all operators.
1. The wash loads should consist of one type
of flatwork only.
2. Use the posted Operating Standards form
for unit settings per fabric type. For more
information within this section, refer to
the Unit Settings subsection.
3. The final rinse should be as warm as possible. Add a fabric softener. Never use
starch in the final rinse.
4. Flatwork should be ironed directly
from the washer/extractor. For more
information within this section, refer
to the Conditioning Flatwork Before
Ironing subsection, Timing Between
Washing and Ironing information.
CAUTION
This unit is not designed to
process nylon or rubberized
fabrics. Processing these
fabrics could result in a fire
or damage the ribbons and
ironing cylinder surface.
3-16
CAUTION
VISA® material has a high
polyester content and can
melt when ironed at too high
a temperature, or too slow
a speed. This can cause
damage to the return ribbons
and require a thorough
cleaning of the
ironing cylinder.
6. Turn the SPEED knob to the fastest
speed.
7. Process a few pieces of the flatwork. The
flatwork might feel slightly damp when
it first comes out of the unit. Set the item
aside and feel it again in five minutes. The
flatwork should feel dry.
8. If the flatwork is still damp, decrease the
speed slightly.
9. Repeat Steps 7 and 8 until the finish on the
flatwork is correct.
10. This is the standard speed for processing
this type of flatwork. For more information within this section, refer to the Unit
Settings procedure, Ironing Speed information.
Maximum Productivity
It is important to follow consistent, standard
operating procedures in the daily operation of the
unit for both safety and productivity. Operator
safety and efficiency are maximized by training
operators to always follow the same set of
guidelines for daily procedures.

The grease fittings for the ironing cylinder
bearing (Figure 4-4) in the right endframe,
cam follower bearings (Figure 4-5) in the left
endframe, and compression roll bearings (Figure
4-6) in both endframes, are marked with yellow
“GREASE WEEKLY” tags and need to be
greased weekly.
Other bearings that are identified with the yellow
“GREASE” tags should also be greased weekly if
the unit is continuously run for long periods.
A special high temperature lubricant is required
to properly grease all bearings. A cartridge of
Shell Darina® SD 2 grease is initially supplied
with the unit. It is important that only this grease
or its equivalent be used.
Figure 4-4: Add grease weekly to the fitting for the
ironing cylinder bearing in the right
endframe.
Use of unsuitable grease can cause bearing
lockup or failure due to heat from the ironing
section. Problems can also result if the new grease
is incompatible with the grease that is already in
the bearings.
Failure to use the correct lubricant will void
the factory warranty.
CAUTION
Before using a grease
other than Shell Darina®
SD 2, check with the
factory service department
to verify that the grease
meets specifications and is
compatible with the grease
already in the bearings.

Temperature Control
Electrical Connection
The TEMPERATURE CONTROL (TSTAT)
(Figure 5-10) is used to set the temperature of
the ironing cylinder.
When the GAS ON/OFF switch (S3) is set to
OFF, there will be no voltage at terminals 4 and
5 of the TEMPERATURE CONTROL.
When the GAS ON/OFF switch is set to ON,
both terminals 4 and 5 will have 24 VAC present
until the ACTUAL temperature increases to the
SET temperature. Then, either terminal 4 or 5 will
not have 24 V present.
NOTE: The TEMPERATURE
CONTROL has been precisely
calibrated at the factory for the
operating temperature range of
your unit. Do not be concerned
if ambient room temperature
indications are high prior to
heating up. The controls cannot
and should not be adjusted on
site.
Either terminal 4 or 5 will continue to have 24
V present until the ACTUAL temperature falls
12 degrees below the SET temperature. Then,
once again, both terminals 4 and 5 will have 24 V
present until the ACTUAL temperature increases
to the SET temperature.

Touchless Temperature Sensors and
UV Flame Scanner
The unit is equipped with two touchless
temperature sensors, one inside each endframe.
They monitor the temperature of the ironing
cylinder.
The burner temperature control sensor
(ITC2), located in the left endframe, (Figure
5-11) monitors the ironing cylinder temperature
towards the middle of the cylinder and provides
constant millivolt signals to the TEMPERATURE
CONTROL (TSTAT). The millivoltage rises and
falls with the temperature.
Figure 5-11: Touchless temperature sensor in the
left endframe.
The burner high limit temperature sensor
(ITC1) (Figure 5-12, A) is aimed at the ironing
cylinder close to the right end of the burner. It
provides constant millivolt signals to the high
limit control board (HLT1) found inside the main
electrical panel.
B
The UV flame scanner in the right endframe
(UV1) (Figure 5-12, B) verifies the presence of

5.5 Sequence of Operation
The unit has four main stages of operation:
•
Stand-By Stage
•
JOG Operation Stage
•
Mechanical Start-Up Stage
•
Burner Normal Operation Stage
•
Burner Fail-Safe Protection Stage
4. If all motor and inverter protectors are
closed, the green MOTOR PROTECTOR indicator lights; if all interlock
switches are closed and no STOP buttons
are pushed in or stuck, the LEFT SIDE
INTERLOCKS & STOP BUTTONS and
the RIGHT SIDE INTERLOCKS & STOP
BUTTONS indicators light.
JOG Operation Stage
Each stage requires several components to
accomplish its job. The sequencing and timing
of stages are critical.
When the ironer is in Stand-By Stage, the
JOG switch is active. The NC auxiliary contact
of CON2 in the INV1 communication circuit is
closed.
The following steps describe the logical
progression of events allowing the unit to work
safely and efficiently.
1. If the JOG switch is turned to FORWARD,
the INV1 communication circuit is closed
as if the NO CON2 contact is closed.
2. If the JOG switch is turned to REVERSE,
the communication circuit is completed to
the INV1’s reverse terminals and the main
drive motor runs in reverse.
NOTE: T h e l e t t e r s a n d
numbers in parentheses are
schematic references. For
more information, refer to the
SCHEMATICS.
3. The setting of the speed control is active.
The control should always be set to minimum before using the JOG switch.
Stand-By Stage
During this stage, the incoming power
is connected to the unit, but the unit is not
operating.
4. When the ironer is running normally, the
NC auxiliary contact of CON2 opens,
locking out operation of the JOG switch.
1. Line voltage is present at INV1 and the
high-voltage contacts for CON2.
2. One stage of the incoming power supplies
the transformer T1, converting the line
voltage to 24 VAC. The 24 VAC supply is
terminated at the START button and the
CON2 low voltage contacts.
3. One stage of the incoming power supplies
transformer T2 converting the line voltage
to 120 VAC. The 120 VAC supply powers
the gas safety circuitry. The 120 VAC supply is terminated at the auxiliary contacts
for CON2.

Operating Principles
Mechanical Start-Up Stage
This stage contains the sequence that occurs
when the unit begins operating without ignition
of the burner.
4. The contactor (CON 2) is energized and
initiate the following events.
• The normally-closed auxiliary contact
in the AC frequency inverter motor
control circuitry opens and disables
operation of the JOG switch.
1. The green START button is pressed, the
24 VAC supply energizes contactor CON2,
and the green START button indicator
lamp comes on.
• Simultaneously, a second contact in the
motor control circuitry closes, signaling the inverter to provide power to the
main drive motor.
2. The auxiliary CON2 contacts close, allowing the green START button to release
without de-energizing the start relay. In addition, the closing of the auxiliary CON2
contacts makes power available to the gas
control and safety circuitry.
• The ironing cylinder, feed ribbons, and
return ribbons begin to rotate.
• Power is connected to the:
• Exhaust blower motor (MTR2),
which rotates the exhaust blower
fan and moves air through discharge
duct. The sail switch closes, showing the blower is operating and
sufficient air is flowing to exhaust
combustion by-products and excess
heat; the EXHAUST AIR FLOW
indicator lights in the left endframe
control panel.
3. The Cylinder Motion Interlock Relay
(CMI) in the right endframe has a 5-second
delay, allowing the unit to start and come
up to speed.
• If the sprocket sensor (PX1) is triggered
by rotation of the ironing cylinder, the
CMI contacts remain closed, allowing
the machine to operate.
• If the sprocket sensor (PX1) is not
triggered by rotation of the ironing
cylinder, the CMI relay contacts open
and the start circuit is disabled, shutting
the machine down.
• Combustion blower motor (MTR3),
which rotates the combustion blower, providing air for the power
burner system. The combustion air
pressure switch closes, showing the
blower is operating and sufficient
air is flowing to support burner
combustion; the COMBUSTION
AIR FLOW indicator lights in the
left endframe control panel.
• Delivery drive motor (MTR4)
(Type R units), which powers the
delivery ribbons either toward the
front or rear of the unit depending
on the position of the DELIVERY
switch.

7.1 Safety Considerations
Before attempting any repair work, review
these safety steps and precautions to protect
yourself and the unit.
•
•
Safety should be the primary concern of
anyone performing repair work on the
unit.
Only work on the unit when it has been
completely cooled down following
the procedures in the OPERATING
GUIDELINES chapter.
•
Make sure the GAS ON/OFF switch is
turned to OFF and the TEMPERATURE
CONTROL is set to zero.
•
All maintenance procedures should
be handled by at least two qualified
persons. Using the “buddy system”
facilitates a quicker procedure and
decreases the risk of an accident.
•
Always keep hands and clothing away
from the moving parts of the machine
when it must be running to make repairs
or adjustments.
•
Never bypass any of the unit’s safety
features. Only operate the unit with
endframe doors and all guards in
place and all safety features operating
correctly.
•
Never stand, sit, or kneel on a receiving
shelf.
•
Your site should lockout/tagout

Feed Table Alignment and
Positioning
Required Tools
The feed table is an important component in
the feed section and must be properly aligned and
positioned. If the feed table becomes bowed out
of shape or is positioned too far from the ironing
cylinder, flatwork may not feed properly into the
ironing section.
Bar stock:
1/4”
3/8”
Wooden wedges
Perform only when the unit is OFF
with power disconnected and COOL.
1. Turn power OFF at the main disconnect
switch.
Checking Alignment and Positioning
Improper handling of the unit during shipping
can cause too much tension on the feed table,
making it bow upward excessively. A feed table
that is in poor alignment is usually due to heavy
items being set on it, or people standing on it. Over
time, normal daily use also causes the table to sag
slightly. Any of these conditions may cause flatwork
to feed improperly.
When properly aligned and positioned, the feed
table will bow slightly upward in the middle. The
leading edge should be 1/4” (6 mm) from the
ironing cylinder at either end and 3/8” (9 mm)
from the ironing cylinder in the middle (Figure
7-14).
2. Open both endframe doors.
3. Locate the feed ribbons drive roll tension
adjustment bolts (Figure 7-2, A). There is
one on each side of the machine.
4. While holding each adjustment bolt in
place, loosen its locknut (Figure 7-2, B).
5. Turn each bolt the same number of turns
counterclockwise until the ribbons are
easily moved by hand.
6. Place the wooden wedges under each end
of the doffer roll to hold it above the feed
ribbons.
7. Pull the feed ribbons around their tracks
until all the lacing clips are accessible and

Compression Roll Pressure Check
When flatwork does not feed smoothly into the
ironing section, the pressure of the compression
roll may need to be adjusted.
It is important that there is sufficient pressure
and that pressure is even from side to side. Too
little pressure will cause poor ironing quality; too
much pressure will cause premature wear of the
compression roll covers and padding.
7. Turn power ON at the main disconnect
switch.
8. Press the green START button. Turn the
SPEED knob to the slowest speed.
9. Feed the piece of paper under the compression roll (Figure 7-16) on the left side
about one-quarter of the distance from the
endframe. Immediately pull back gently
on the paper.
10. You should feel the compression roll
pulling the paper into the ironing section,
but be able to pull back the paper without
tearing it. If there is uneven or no pressure placed on the paper, or if the paper
tears, the compression roll pressure must
be adjusted.
WARNING
Specific procedures that
require the unit to be running
should be done with extreme
caution and attention
to detail.
11. Repeat Steps 9 and 10 at the middle of the
unit and on the right side about one quarter
of the distance from the endframe.

Pilot Gas/Air Mixture Check and
Adjustment
The gas/air ratio in the pilot affects the
combustion characteristics of the pilot flame.
Difficulties in igniting the burner flame could be
caused by a poor quality pilot light.
To correct this, the combustion air and gas
flows can be adjusted.
NOTE: Propane or butane gas
will require more air than natural
gas.
Note that the gas shut off valve handle should
always be left in full open position, with the
handle oriented in line or parallel to the flow
path through the valve. This prevents it from
accidentally being knocked out of position.
WARNING
Do not adjust or test gas
components unless you are
qualified to do so. Serious
injury and damage to
property may result.
This procedure involves
open panels and close
proximity to flame. Take
every precaution to ensure
your safety.

7.9 Machine Speed Sensor
The machine speed sensor (Figure 7-59) is
located inside the right endframe. It is mounted
on a bracket very close to the teeth of the ironing
cylinder sprocket.
This sensor generates a magnetic field, which
is disturbed by each passing tooth of the sprocket.
This signal is interpreted as the speed of the
flatwork.
Machine Speed Sensor Adjustment
Required Tools
Shim: 1 or 1.5 mm
Wrenches: 11/16” (2)
Perform only when the unit is
RUNNING and COOL.
Use extreme caution.
1. Turn power ON at the main disconnect
switch.
2. Open the right endframe door.
A
B
Figure 7-59: The machine speed sensor must be
correctly positioned near the teeth of
the ironing cylinder sprocket.
WARNING
This safety interlock switch
is only to be defeated
temporarily while performing
this procedure. Never
operate the unit unless
all safety systems
are working correctly.
Serious Injury Could Result.
3. The unit will not operate while a safety
interlock switch is open. As a temporary
measure during this work, defeat the door
switch in the endframe by pulling out on
its plunger.
4. Start the unit. Turn the SPEED knob to the
slowest speed.
5. Look at the machine speed sensor (Figure
7-59). The LED on the back of the sensor
should blink each time a tooth of the ironing cylinder sprocket passes.
6. If the LED is not blinking, the sensor
may be located too far from the teeth of
the sprocket. The gap between the sensor
and the teeth should be 0.04” to 0.06” (1
to 1.5 mm).
7. Stop the unit and turn the power OFF at
the main disconnect switch.

CAUTION
Adjust the position of the
machine speed sensor very
carefully. If it is hit by the
sprocket, the sensor must be
replaced.
Machine Speed Sensor Replacement
It the machine speed sensor fails or is erratic,
it must be replaced immediately.
Required Tools
Plastic wire ties
Scissors/knife
Shim: 1 or 1.5 mm
Wrenches: 11/16” (2)
8. Loosen the outer nut (Figure 7-59, A) and
move the sensor closer to the teeth.
9. Tighten the inner nut (B) to hold the sensor
in the new position. Do not position the
sensor closer than 0.04” (1.0 mm) to the
sprocket. The sensor must be replaced if it
is hit by the teeth of the sprocket.
10. Turn power ON at the main disconnect
switch; then, repeat Steps 4 to 9 until the
machine speed sensor is operating correctly.
11. Stop the unit and turn power OFF at the
main disconnect switch.
12. Push the interlock switch plunger in;
then, close and secure the right endframe
door.
WARNING
Never operate the unit unless
all safety covers are in place
and all safety equipment is
operating correctly.
Perform only when the unit is OFF
with power disconnected and COOL.
1. Make sure you have the correct replacement sensor. For more information, refer
to the SCHEMATICS.
2. Turn power OFF at the main disconnect
switch.
3. Open the right endframe door.
4. Trace the sensor’s wiring to its connector
plug and disconnect. Cut any plastic wire
ties securing the sensor wiring along its
path.
5. Unscrew the sensor from its mounting
bracket. Be careful to save the nuts.
6. Using these nuts, secure the new machine
speed sensor in position.
7. Plug the sensor into its connector receptacle. Use plastic wire ties to secure the
sensor wiring along its path as needed.
8. Make sure the new machine speed sensor
is positioned properly. Within this section, refer to the Machine Speed Sensor
Adjustment procedure.
9. Start the unit and process several pieces
of flatwork to make sure the new sensor
is working correctly.

DESCRIPTION
The UV1A3/6, UV2/UV2A6/UV2C, 45UV2, 45UV3, UV90-3/6/9 Scanners are used with the
M-Series, M-Series II, MicroM, FlameWorx, MB-2 and D-Series controls as well as the Fireye
FLAME-MONITORTM, BurnerLogix and Nexus System. The UV1A3/6 scanners come with 3 ft. and
6 ft. shielded flexible cables. The UV2 scanner comes with 36 inch (915mm) shielded flexible cable.
The UV2C comes with 36 inch (915mm) unshielded lead wires. The UV90-3/6/9 is available with 3
ft., 6 ft. and 9 ft. shielded flexible cables.
The UV8A Scanner is a 90° right angle ultraviolet flame scanner used in conjunction with the
M-Series, M-Series II, MicroM, FlameWorx, MB-2 and D series controls as well as the Fireye®
FLAME-MONITORTM, Burner Logix and the Nexus System. It is available only with 72 inch
(1830mm) unshielded lead wires.
The 45UV2 Scanner is a non self-checking scanner in a die cast aluminum housing with a 1 inch
NPT threaded mount.
The 45UV3 Scanner has a rugged cast housing that mounts on a 3/4 inch pipe with sleeve and setscrew. The replaceable UV tube is mounted in a vertical position for greater sensitivity. Non selfchecking.
The UV90 Series Scanners are designed for front and lateral (90°) mounting which, in some applications allow the scanners to obtain a clearer view of the flame. The UV90, with its exclusive snug-fit
mounting block, eliminates the need for a threaded sight pipe.
The UV tube is made of quartz and is filled with a gas that ionizes when struck by UV radiation from
the flame. In the absence of UV radiation, the gas acts as an insulator between two electrodes which
are mounted inside the tube. These electrodes are energized continuously by a high voltage. During
combustion, UV radiation ionizes the gas, causing current pulses to flow between the electrodes.
These current pulses result in a flame signal which is transmitted to the amplifier in the control,
where it is processed to energize or hold in the flame relay.
WARNING: When installing or replacing UV scanners, a minimum pilot turndown test on
pilot ignited burners and a spark pickup test on all burners must be performed. Refer to bulletins E-1101, C-4000, MC-5000 or BurnerLogix for recommended procedures.

®
APPLICATION
UV scanners are recommended for detecting flames from standard fuel gases, some waste gases and
light oil fuels such as No. 2 oil. Flames from heavier oils can be detected with UV scanners but the
unburned fuel shroud and/or atomization shroud can block passage of the UV from the flame zone to
the UV tube, causing nuisance burner/boiler trips. Infrared detection is recommended for fuel oil
heavier than No. 2, and some installations where waste gases are burned together with natural gas as
a main flame.
NOTE: Certain safety codes and regulations require the use of self-checking ultraviolet scanners.
For information on self-checking UV scanners, refer to Bulletin SC-101.

CAUTION: The UV1A, UV2, UV8A, 45UV2, 45UV3 and UV90 ultra-violet flame scanners
and associated amplifier modules are non-self checking UV systems and should be applied
only to burners that cycle often (e.g.: a minimum of once per 12 hours) in order for the safety
checking circuit to be exercised. If component checking is required during burner operation
for constantly fired burners, utilize the self-checking ultra-violet flame scanners (45UV5)
with associated amplifier module (EUVS4), (MEUVS, (MBUVS) or YB110UVSC or the
infrared flame scanner (48PT2) with associated Auto Check amplifier (E1R1, E1R2, E1R3,
MEIR1, MEIR4, YB110IR).

WARNING: THE LEADS FROM THE UV8A AND UV2C SCANNER TO THE
CONTROL MUST BE SHIELDED TO PREVENT ELECTRICAL NOISE FROM
GENERATING A FALSE FLAME SIGNAL TO THE CONTROL.
Where possible, obtain the Burner Manufacturer’s Instructions for mounting the scanner.
This information is available for most standard burners. The scanner mounting should comply with the following General Instructions:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
The quartz UV tube is brittle. Care must be exercised to avoid dropping or otherwise striking the
scanner with force. Keep the scanner protected until mounted.
Position the UV scanner within 36 inches of the flame to be monitored.
Select a scanner location that will remain within the ambient temperature limits of the UV
Scanner (200°F). If cooling is required, use an insulating coupling (Fireye P/N 35-69).
The UV Scanners are designed to seal off against pressures up to 1 PSI. To seal against higher
pressures, install a union coupling with quartz window (P/N 60-1257). Add cooling air to reduce
the scanner sight pipe temperature. (Not applicable to UV90).
Install the scanner on a standard 1/2 in. NPS (3/8 in. for UV2/UV2A6/UV2C, 1 in. NPT for
45UV2, 3/4 in. for 45UV3) pipe whose position is rigidly fixed. If the scanner mounting pipe
sights through the refractory, do not extend it more than halfway through. Swivel flanges are
available if desired (P/N 60-302). The sight pipe must permit an unobstructed view of the pilot
and/or main flame, and both pilot and main flames must completely cover the scanner field of
view. Oil and gas flames radiate more ultraviolet energy from the base of the flame than from
further out in the flame. This fact should be considered when installing the scanner sight pipe.

Since the radiated energy from an electric spark ignitor is very rich in the UV region, the field of
view should be aimed so that it does not see an electric spark ignitor nor any reflector that is
close to the spark.
CAUTION: The unprotected leads must be run in electrical conduit in order to eliminate
pickup of electrical noise which could present an unsafe condition.
7.
8.
4
To prevent spark pickup by the UV detector, close and/or disconnect all pilot and main fuel
valves. Operate the control through a burner startup cycle to determine that ignition spark cannot
be detected. Burner will not ignite if spark is detected.
Avoid running the scanner cables or conduit in close proximity to hot surfaces at the burner.
Avoid running the scanner conduit in close proximity to high energy ignition wires.
®
9.
Smoke or unburned combustion gases absorb ultraviolet radiation. On installations having negative pressure combustion chamber, a small hole drilled in the scanner sight pipe will assist in
keeping the pipe clean and free of smoke. For positive pressure furnaces, provide clean air to
pressurize the sight pipe, if necessary.
10. Two UV Scanners may be installed on one burner if it is necessary to view two areas to obtain
reliable detection of the flame. They should be wired in parallel.
11. To increase scanner sensitivity with the UV Scanners, a quartz lens permits location of the scanner at twice the normal distance. (Union w/quartz lens P/N 60-1290).
12. Request the assistance of any Fireye Field Office for recommendations of a proper scanner
installation on a non-standard application.
CAUTION: Ultra-violet tubes can simulate flame when exposed to high levels of “X” and
GAMMA radiation. The table below indicates the maximum dose of radiation that a UV tube
can be exposed to safely.

WIRING - UV SCANNERS
To connect the scanner to the control, the UV1, UV2 and UV90 Scanners are supplied with up to 96"
of flexible cable. Consult factory for custom lead lengths.
The 45UV2 and 45UV3 are supplied with 72 in. (1830mm) lead wires. Install them in a suitable
length of flexible armor cable and connect it to the control. A conduit connector is supplied with the
scanner. Connect black wires (UV tube) of the 45UV2 to terminals 14 & 15 of the appropriate PSeries and for the 45UV3, to terminals S1 & S2.
If it is necessary to extend the scanner wiring, the following instructions apply:
Scanner wires should be installed in a separate conduit. The wires from several scanners may be
installed in a common conduit.
The voltage applied to UV scanners is nominally 560 VAC with no flame present.
Selection of Wire
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
Use #14, 16, or 18 wire with 75° C, 600 volt insulation for up to 100 foot distances (signal loss
approximately 20% at 100 feet).
For extended scanner wiring up to 500 feet, or for shorter lengths to reduce signal loss, use a
shielded wire (Belden 8254, RG-62/U coaxial cable, or equal) for each scanner wire. The ends
of the shielding must be taped and not grounded.
Asbestos insulated wire should be avoided.
Multiconductor cable is not recommended.
High voltage ignition wiring should not be installed in the same conduit with flame detector
wires.
CAUTION: Keep scanner leads well clear of ignition high voltage wiring or any other high
voltage or high current wiring in order to prevent false signal pickup in the scanner leads.
WARNING: Protective filtered lenses should be worn when viewing flame. Infrared and
ultraviolet energy can be damaging to the eyes.
MAINTENANCE
Ultraviolet Scanners
The viewing area of the scanner must be kept clean. Even a small amount of contamination on the
lens will reduce the flame signal reaching the detector by a measurable amount. Wipe the viewing
area routinely using a soft cloth dampened with concentrated detergent, then wipe dry.
Flame Signal Strength
Routine observation of the flame signal strength will forewarn any deterioration in the capability of
the flame detector or its application.
Periodic Safety Check
It is recommended that a procedure be established to test the complete flame safeguard system at
least once a month,. This test should verify the proper operation of all limit switches and safety interlocks as well as flame failure protection and fuel safety shutoff valve tightness.
Rotation
It is recommended that control and scanner units purchased as spares be installed periodically to
ensure proper operation.

FLAME SAFEGUARD CONTROLS
APPROVED
WARNING: Selection of this control for a particular application should be made by a competent professional, licensed by a state or other government agency. Inappropriate application
of this product could result in an unsafe condition hazardous to life and property.
DESCRIPTION
The Fireye MicroM Series Flame Safeguard Control is a compact, microprocessor based, modular
burner management system designed to provide automatic ignition and continuous flame monitoring
for commercial sizes of heating and process equipment firing any type of fuel.
The MicroM is designed to be backward compatible with existing TFM, UVM and M-Series II controls. The MicroM MEC120 and MEC230 chassis with the appropriate MEP100, MEP200 and
MEP500 series programmers provide operation similar to its predecessors and is usually directly
interchangeable. The MEC320 and MEC480 chassis with the appropriate MEP300, MEP400 and
MEP600 series programmers provide additional enhancements such as early spark termination, pilot
proving, and interrupted pilot.
The advantages of the MicroM are zero dependence on discrete components previously used for timing functions. The MicroM, through the use of micro-controller technology, incorporates smart diagnostic LED's, smart reset function for multi-burner applications, optional alpha-numeric display
output (ED510), and serial communications via a Modbus or E500 Communication Interface. The
MicroM system also provides additional amplifier selections. Along with the standard UV and
Flame Rod amplifiers are UV self-check, Infrared, Cadmium Sulfide and a dry contact amplifier for
use with the Fireye Phoenix scanner. All amplifiers are available with flame failure response times of
0.8 seconds or 3 seconds nominal (4 second maximum) and each provide a set of test jacks with a
uniform range of 0-10 VDC for the measurement of flame signal intensity.
A complete MicroM system includes the appropriate flame detector, plug-in amplifier and programmer modules which connect into a standard chassis and wiring base. Interchangeable programmer
and amplifier modules allow for complete versatility in selection of control function, timing and
flame scanning means. Functions such as relight, recycle, non-recycle, two stage capability, nonrecycle air flow, proof of air flow open at start, purge timing, early spark termination, pilot proving
and pilot cutoff are determined by the appropriate programmer module. Type of flame scanner (UV,
Repetitive UV Self-Check, Flame Rod, IR or Cadmium Sulfide or dry contact) and the flame failure
response time (FFRT) are determined by the amplifier module. Optional plug-in daughter boards
provide additional features such as remote reset, alpha-numeric display and serial communications.
The MicroM programmers are micro-controller based modules that control the sequence of operation and also interface with plug-in amplifiers, meter boards, display drivers and external communication devices. The programmers are available in an assortment of configurations necessary to
resolve the application requirement. Current families of programmers for use with the MEC120 and
1
®
MEC230 type chassis include the MEP100, MEP 200 and MEP500 series. Programmers for use with
the MEC320 and MEC480 type chassis include the MEP300, MEP400 and MEP600 series.
Some programmer modules are equipped with a series of dipswitches to select Purge Timing, Pilot
Trial for Ignition (PTFI) timing, Proof of Air flow open at start, Post Purge, Recycle and Non-Recycle operation. LED indicators on the programmer modules indicate the current operating status of the
control and during a lockout condition displays the fault as a coded sequence, simplifying the troubleshooting of a shutdown.
In the event of pilot ignition failure, or following a safety shutdown, the control locks out, activating
an alarm circuit and displays the cause of lockout on the integrated LED’s and on the optional ED510
display. Unless otherwise specified, manual reset is required. Remote reset is available on the
MEC120R, MEC120RC, MEC320RD, MEC230RC, MEC320R, MEC320RC and MEC320RD
chassis. A detailed description of the various programmer, amplifier and chassis modules is found
later in this document. A “run-check” switch, provided to assist in testing size, position and stabilization of the pilot, is provided on some specific models and all MEP500 and MEP600 series programmers.
Modular MicroM controls incorporate a safety checking circuit that is operative on each start. If
flame (real or simulated) is detected prior to a start or during purge, the fuel valves will not be energized and the unit will lock out.
The modular MicroM controls use the same wiring base as the Fireye UVM, TFM and M- Series II
controls and are designed to be interchangeable with most models with little or no rewiring. See
INSTALLATION OF CONTROL, SCANNERS AND FLAME DETECTORS (page 8 and 47) for
temperature and wiring requirements.
?
NOTE: The individual MicroM modules, i.e. MEC chassis, MEP programmers and amplifiers are
not interchangeable with M-Series II modules, i.e. MC chassis, MP programmers and amplifiers.

In order for the MicroM to gather and retain statistical and historic data such as burner
hours, burner cycles, system hours and average flame signal, it is necessary that Terminal 1
be powered at all times. Removing power from Terminal 1 at the end of the firing cycle
causes all data gathered during the previous 16 hours or last 9 cycles to be lost. For conversions or upgrades from older TFM or M-Series II controls that use MART1 amplifiers, it is
necessary that Terminal 1 be directly powered with 120 VAC.

CAUTION: The UV1A, UV2, UV8A, UV90 and 45UV3 ultra-violet flame scanners and associated amplifier modules are non self-checking UV systems and should be applied only to
burners that cycle often (e.g.: a minimum of once per 12 hours) in order for the safety checking circuit to be exercised. If component checking is required during burner operation for
constantly fired burners, utilize the self-checking ultra-violet flame scanners (45UV5) with
associated amplifier module (MEUVS1, MEUVS4) or the infrared flame scanner (48PT2)
with associated AutoCheck amplifier (MEIR1, MEIR4).

WARNING: Installer must be trained and qualified. Follow the burner manufacturer’s
instructions, if supplied. Otherwise, proceed as follows:
INSTALLATION OF CONTROL, SCANNERS AND FLAME DETECTORS
Wiring Base
Mount the wiring base on the burner or on a panel. The location should be free from excessive vibration and within the specified ambient temperature rating. The base may be mounted in any angular
position.
All wiring should comply with applicable electrical codes, regulations and local ordinances. Use
moisture resistant wire suitable for at least 90 degrees C. Good electrical wiring practice should be
followed to ensure an adequate ground system. Refer to Fireye Service Note SN-100 separately and
General Grounding Rules later in this document for grounding methods.
A good ground system should be provided to minimize the effects of AC quality problems. A properly designed ground system meeting all the safety requirements will ensure that any AC voltage
quality problems, such as spikes, surges and impulses have a low impedance path to ground. A low
impedance path to ground is required to ensure that large currents involved with any surge voltages
will follow the desired path in preference to alternative paths, where extensive damage may occur to
equipment.
Circuit recommendations are found on pages 38 through 43. Consult the factory for assistance with
non-standard applications.
WARNING: Controls require safety limits utilizing isolated mechanical contacts.
Electronic limit switches may cause erratic operation and should be avoided.
Care must be taken to NOT route the high energy ignition wire in close proximity to the flame sensor wiring, particularly when using MERT amplifier.

INSTALLING THE PROGRAMMER AND AMPLIFIER MODULES
WARNING: Remove power from the control before proceeding.
FIGURE 1.
.
AMPLIFIER
PROGRAMMER
Select the appropriate programmer and amplifier modules for your application. Remove the dust
cover from the chassis. Insert the amplifier module into the slot in the corner of the chassis and gently push the module into position. Insert the programmer module into the slot at the right side of the
chassis and gently push the module into position.
NOTE: Refer to programmer dipswitch settings on page 11 for the proper setting of the dipswitches
for those programmers with this feature.
WARNING: Turn off the power when installing or removing the control.
Replaceable Fuse
The chassis modules are designed with a field replaceable fuse. The fuse is located on the printed circuit board below the transformer. In the event the fuse becomes OPEN, the Operating Control, PTFI,
and Flame LED’s will light. However, KL or KF (Wiring Arrangements section on pages 33 through
38) will not be energized and the control will lock out and indicate Lockout, Check Blown Fuse. The
fuse will blow as a result of an overload condition on Terminals 3, 4, or 5. To replace the fuse,
remove power from the system and using a small screwdriver or similar tool, install a Fireye replacement fuse (P/N 23-197) or equivalent 10 amp fuse (e.g. Wickman # 19373-071-K).
FOR MEC230, ORDER FIREYE REPLACEMENT FUSE P/N 23-198 OR EQUIVALENT 4 AMP
FUSE (E.G. WICKMAN # 19373-062-K).
WARNING: Disconnect power before servicing.

Function
Any MicroM chassis type with the appropriate plug-in board installed provides remote reset capabilities in the event of a lockout condition. A remote reset switch consists of a dry contact such as a
remote momentary push-button wired to the two (2) terminals located on the plug-in board as shown
in Figure 5. The reset switch will also force the MicroM to recycle if depressed and released during
the purge or run period.
A plug-in board (MED8) is pre-installed in the MEC320TS chassis to provide local reset, remote
alpha-numeric display, serial communications and normally closed relays.

CAUTION: Remote reset is recommended only on a control solely for proved ignition programming (pilot ignited burner) or a control for use only with applications in which
unburned fuel cannot accumulate and that is intended for installation in inaccessible locations such as open-flame, ceiling-suspended gas heaters. The remote reset location must be
within sight and sound of the fired equipment.
ADVANCED RESET FUNCTIONS
Multiple functions have been integrated into the reset push button located on the MicroM and provided by way of the remote reset terminals. Among these are reset/recycle, reset from lockout only,
recycle only and set unit address. The functions of the switch is determined by the length of time
the push button is depressed and released.
The MicroM allows the connection of the remote resets to be connected together, usually in a multiburner system where multiple MicroM’s are mounted in a common panel. The reset push button
located on the MicroM daughter board is in parallel with the remote reset terminals when provided
by the other MED daughter boards.
Normal Operation
If the push button is depressed and released for greater than 1/2 second but less than 3 seconds, the
MicroM will either reset if in lockout, or shutdown and revert back to the start of the cycle. If the
MicroM is in the Idle state, this action will cause the LED’s to sequence from the bottom to top and
serves as a LED test.
Smart Reset
If the push button is depressed and released greater than 3 seconds but less than 5 seconds, the
24
®
line of the display. Pressing and releasing the RESET key will cause the address to increment. The
address after 31 is 0. The second method is to use the local reset located on the plug-in board. It is
first necessary to open the operating control (L1-7) to have the MicroM in the IDLE or STANDBY
position. Depressing the reset switch for greater than 10 seconds will cause the address of the
MicroM to be displayed in a binary format on the LEDs located on the programmer board. Because
the default is address 0, and since address 0 would mean no LEDs would be lit; the ALARM LED is
made to flash when the address is 0. The OP CTRL LED is the least significant bit while the
ALARM relay is the most significant bit. To increment the address counter, depress and release the
RESET push button and observe the LED pattern. If the RESET switch is untouched for 30 seconds
the current address displayed will be stored to memory and the MicroM will automatically exit the
address mode.
TEST JACK VOLTAGE
For all amplifiers, the MicroM provides a uniform 0-10 volt signal to represent the flame signal
strength. A signal reading greater than 4 volts is considered sufficient to provide reliable operation.
This same signal is also available in a numerical format on the ED510 display. The chart below correlates the test jack voltage to the numerical value. The signal clamps at 10 volts at a numerical value
greater than 42 and the numerical value clamps at 80.

INSTALLATION TESTING
Use of Test Meter (All Controls)
Testing the Fireye MicroM Controls requires the use of a test AC/DC multimeter, with a minimum
1000 ohm/volt AC scale and 20,000 ohm/volt DC scale.
With the test meter on the DC scale, and the test meter leads inserted into the test jacks on the amplifier (Red for positive (+) polarity, Black for minus (-) polarity), a DC voltage reading of 4.0 to 10
volts for all amplifier types should be obtained when the control is detecting flame and 0 volts when
no flame is present. Wildly fluctuating readings are an indication of an unstable flame or flame sensor requiring maintenance. Inadequate flame signal may be improved by:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
Assuring that the flame detector and wiring installations have followed the instructions beginning on page 46.
Assuring that the flame detector is clean and within the ambient temperature limits.
Assuring that the flame is sufficiently large to detect.
Assuring that the flame quality (fuel to air ratio, combustion air velocity) is satisfactory.
Trying a shorter sight pipe or increasing the sight pipe diameter. (The burner manufacturer
should be consulted before mechanical changes are made).
When using a flame rectification amplifier, a micro-ammeter may be connected in series with the
wire to Terminal S2. Normal flame will produce a meter reading between 4 and 10 micro-amps.
With the test meter on the AC scale, line and load voltages may be measured at the identified test
points on the chassis.
WARNING: Before making a pilot flame test, manually shut off the fuel supply to the main
burner.
Normal Pilot Flame Test (Programmers with Run/Check Switch)
1.
2.
At pilot trial for ignition (PTFI) place the Run/Check switch in the Check position.
During the pilot flame test and adjustment period, if flame is not detected within 30 seconds, the
control will lock out and require manual reset to initiate another cycle.
35
®
3.
Observe the pilot flame signal on the test meter or the ED510 display. If the flame signal is
below 4.0 volts DC or a reading of 10 on a remote display, re-adjust the pilot flame or realign
the flame detector.
WARNING: DO NOT TOUCH a flame rectification rod with power applied.
4.
5.
When using UV detection, a test is required to verify that UV radiation from the ignition spark
is not being detected. To accomplish this, manually shut off both the pilot and main fuels. Initiate a normal start-up. Observe the test meter which should read no more than 1/2 volt DC. If
higher levels are observed, realign the UV scanner, and/or shield the spark from the scanner’s
view.
Move the Run/Check switch to the Run position, check pilot flame response time by manually
shutting off the pilot fuel and initiate a normal start-up. With no pilot flame present, the control
will de-energize the pilot assembly at the end of the trial for ignition interval (selectable by
dipswitch #4) and go into safety shutdown.
WARNING: The minimum pilot test must be accomplished by a trained and qualified
burner technician.
Minimum Pilot Test
This test assures that the flame detector will not sense a pilot flame too small to light a the main
flame reliably. It must be made on every new installation as well as following the repositioning or
replacement of the flame detector. This procedure should not be used on a direct spark burner.
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
Manually shut off the fuel to the main burner.
Place the Run/Check switch in the Check position. (MEP500 Series Programmers only).
Connect a test meter to the test jacks on the Amplifier Module or observe the reading on the
ED510 display.
Initiate a normal start-up.
Reduce the fuel to the pilot until the DC voltmeter reads 4.0 volts. This is the minimum pilot.
For flame rectification the flame signal for minimum pilot varies depending on the application.
See WARNING below.
Return the Run/Check switch to the Run position (MEP500 Series Programmers only).
Slowly turn on the main fuel and insure the main flame lights off promptly and normally.
WARNING: If light off is delayed, shut off the power to the installation. Realign the flame
detector so a larger pilot flame is required before flame is detected. Repeat this test until
the main flame lights reliably with minimum pilot.
Flame Failure Test
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
36
Temporarily connect spark ignition and pilot to Terminal #3.
Initiate a normal start-up.
Manually shut off all fuel and observe the loss of flame signal on the test meter.
If flame signal does not reduce to zero within the flame failure response time of the control
(FFRT determined by the selection of the amplifier), verify the UV flame detector is not actuated by the ignition spark. If spark is detected, a metallic shield or relocation of the UV detector
is required.
IMPORTANT: When the test is completed, reconnect the spark ignition to Terminal #4.

SUGGESTED GROUNDING RULES
The MicroM system, being microprocessor based, requires a ground system that provides a zerovoltage reference. The voltage measured from L2 to all other terminals except L1 should be 0 volts.
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
The most effective ground is to run the ground wire in the same raceway as the hot and neutral
from the main distribution service panel (not intermediate sub-panels) to the burner control
panel and insure that this ground wire is well bonded to the control panel.
The wiring base of the MicroM must have earth ground providing a connection between the
sub-base and the control panel or the burner.
The earth ground wire must be capable of conducting the current to blow the 20A fuse in event
of an internal short circuit. A number 14 AWG copper conductor is adequate, wide straps or
brackets are preferred rather than lead wires.
The ground path needs to be low impedance (less than 1 ohm) to the equipment frame which in
turn needs a low impedance to earth ground. For a ground path to be low impedance at RF frequencies, the connection must be made with minimum length conductors having maximum surface areas.
All connections should be free of nonconductive coatings and protected against rust.
Utilizing conduit as a means of providing a ground must be avoided.
Installing ground rods at the burner control panel defeats the purpose of a single point ground as
described above and could also present a safety hazard.
INSTALLATION
Do not run high voltage ignition transformer wires in the same conduit with flame detection wiring.
Do not run scanner wires in a conduit with line voltage circuits.
Ensure the frame of the ignition transformer is securely connected to control panel frame or preferably the burner frame.
The MicroM chassis (MEC120) contains a transient suppressing device connected internally across
hot and neutral and then to the internal bracket. For this to be effective the chassis must be screwed
securely into the wiring subbase.
REMOTE DISPLAY
When the ED510 is to be remotely mounted on the front of the control panel, the ED580 cable must
contain a ferrite core, currently supplied by Fireye with the cable. The cable end with the ferrite core
must be mounted at the control end. High frequency currents flow more to the surface of the conductor. The 60 Hz ground system, properly designed, has sufficient low-impedance at 60 Hz to maintain
all metal surfaces at the same ground reference. But, this same system is unable to provide this at
higher frequencies, because of the increased impedance caused by the ‘skin effect’. The purpose of
the ferrite core is to provide a low-impedance at these higher frequencies and absorb this unwanted
energy.
Care must be taken not to route the ED580 cable in close proximity to any starter motor contactors
located in the control panel or across any high voltage ignition wires. Refer to Fireye bulletin E-8002
for proper installation.

®
COMMUNICATIONS
When interfacing Fireye controls to a communication system, be it an E500, PLC or other microprocessor based device, ferrite cores should also be utilized. Proper twisted shielded pair cable must be
utilized. In a multi-drop system, the shields should be tied together within a cabinet and not to any
ground point. The shield at the source end of the cable of the multi-drop connection can then be terminated to ground. Source end is defined as the originating end of the communication system
Care must be taken not to route communication cables in close proximity to any starter motor contactors located in the control panel or across any high voltage ignition wires. Refer to Fireye bulletin E8002 for proper installation.
SCANNERS
The armored cable supplied with the Ultra-Violet and Infrared scanners should be connected to
equipment by means of a good mechanical connection such as a conduit fitting. It may be necessary
to utilize heat insulator (P/N 35-69) to isolate the sensing end of the scanner from boiler ground.
Care must be taken not to route the scanner cable across the high voltage ignition cable. The high
energy ignition cable should be checked periodically for cracking, connections and aging.
In applications using flame rod units and the MERT amplifier, it may be beneficial to route a separate
return wire from the S1 terminal to the flame rod assembly. This will minimize the effects of transient currents flowing into the MicroM.
In all cases, scanner wires should be routed in separate conduit and not joined with any high voltage
AC or ignition cables.
MAINTENANCE
Periodically, the spark electrode should be inspected for proper gapping and cracked ceramics. At
ignition time, the high energy from the ignition transformer will attempt to conduct to the point of
least resistance and with an improper spark gap, where the conduction takes place will no longer be
controlled.
The VA rating of the control transformer must be sized to handle the inrush currents of the pilot solenoid and ignition transformer at PTFI and then the inrush currents of the main fuel valve assembly at
MTFI time.
Inspect neatness of wiring in junction boxes and cabinets. It is best to have connections short and
direct and also not having wires bunched up and tied off. Also, connections should be periodically
inspected for tightness and corrosion.
INSTALLATION - UV SCANNERS
Where possible, obtain the burner manufacturer’s instructions for mounting the scanner. This information is available for most standard burners. The scanner mounting should comply with the following general instructions:
1.
2.
3.
4.
46
Position the UV1A, UV2 scanner within 30 inches of the flame to be monitored; the 45UV5
within 72 inches, closer if possible.
Select a scanner location that will remain within the ambient temperature limits of the UV Scanner. If cooling is required, use an insulating coupling (Fireye P/N 35-69 for UV1A, UV2 Scanners, P/N 35-127-1 for 45UV5) to reduce conducted heat.
The UVlA, UV2, 45UV5 Scanners are designed to seal off the sight pipe up to 1 PSI pressure.
Higher furnace pressures should be sealed off. To seal off positive furnace pressure up to 100
PSI for UV1A, UV2 Scanners, install a quartz window coupling (#60-1257) For 45UV5 Scanners, use #60-1199 coupling. Add cooling air to reduce the scanner sight pipe temperature.
Install the scanner on a standard NPT pipe (UV1A: 1/2", UV2: 3/8", 45UV5: 1") whose position
is rigidly fixed. If the scanner mounting pipe sights through the refractory, do not extend it more

Tip - Flatwork
Warm Rinse
A warm rinse allows more water to be extracted from the material. This means the ironer needs to
remove less moisture from the flatwork to produce a dry, high quality finish. Furthermore, the ironer can be
run faster if the final rinse is warm.
Moisture Retention (MR)
After extraction, the optimum MR is 30% - 35% for mixed-fiber-content fabrics and 45% - 50% for cotton
fabrics. To determine the MR after extraction, use a precise scale to measure the “still wet, but extracted”
flatwork; then weigh again after the same flatwork is “completely dry”. Subtract the weight of the “still wet, but
extracted” flatwork from the “completely dry” flatwork. Divide the weight difference by the “completely dry”
flatwork weight. Finally, multiply the resulting weight by 100 to determine the MR percentage.
The optimum MR after ironing is 4% or less. Ironing is not intended to remove 100% of the moisture
from the flatwork. Therefore, feel the flatwork when it first comes out of the unit; there should be a slight
moisture content. Allow the flatwork to sit for a few minuts to allow excess steam and heat to dissipate in the
air. Check the flatwork again; it should now feel dry to the touch. For more information, review the Instruction
Manual, Flatwork Handling procedure.
NOTE: This Operating Standard form needs to be completed and approved by the laundry manager at each facility. Each laundry facility uses different means to
accomplish a quality finish, including wash formulas, extraction, number of personnel, etc.; the Chicago Dryer Company does not assume any responsibility how this
form is completed or used.
