Chapter 3. Operation Names of parts BC-R fastening screw 7-segment LED (green) When normal: Sequence code/Flame voltage When an error occurs: Alarm code/Flame voltage DISP switch Reset switch Switch to change as follows: Switch to cancel lock-out Flame voltage/Sequence code or (Press and hold for approximately 1s) Flame voltage/Alarm code ALARM LED (red)
Page 22
Chapter 3. Operation When an error occurs The 7-segment display shows a alarm code and the sequence code for which the alarm was issued alternately. Every time the DISP switch is pressed, the display is changed between a alarm code and the sequence code for which the alarm was issued alternately as well as the flame voltage.
Page 23
Chapter 3. Operation z Reset switch * Lock-out is canceled when the reset switch is pressed and held for 1 s. * A fter the lock-out is canceled, a stabilization time of approximately 5 seconds should be maintained. During the stabilization time, no start input can be accepted. • During postpurge, reset is not possible.
Chapter 3. Operation Trial operation mode WARNING Loads(the blower, ignition transformer, valves, etc.) operate in trial operation mode. They should be operated by a person with expert knowledge and an understanding of the functions. There is a risk of a major accident. [1] Press and hold the DISP switch for approximately 5s or more during the stop sequence (when the start input is Off).
Page 25
Chapter 3. Operation [4] Press and hold the DISP switch for 5 s or more to end trial operation mode. Trial operation mode also ends in the following situations. • Power OFF • A larm is issued during trial operation mode (in continuous pilot burn mode). 1.1 Continuous pilot burn mode ( In the combustion sequence, only the pilot burns and main trial is not performed.
Chapter 3. Operation Function selection mode (for POC and host communications (RS-485) address) CAUTION If POC is selected, the lower right dot of the 7-segment display is lit, regardless of the operation mode. If devices installed in the system are set without selecting POC (proof of closure), an E8 error is issued when this device is replaced, unless the new device is set without POC (proof of closure) selection.
Page 27
Chapter 3. Operation • Factory settings • Communications address setting (only on the BC-R25) [7] Use the DISP switch to select 7-segment display [ Settings 1 Press the Reset button. (On the BC-R25, pressing this does not change the display). The 7-segment display shows [ /xx ], where XX is the address value.
Chapter 3. Operation Host communication settings using the Smart Loader Package (SLP-BCR) Function setting mode [ ], [ ] and [ ] (host communication (RS-485) setting) can also be set using the smart loader package. [1] Turn off the power of the product. [2] Remove the wiring of RS-485.
Chapter 4. Explanation of Operation CAUTION Even if the start input is turned on, this device does not begin operation until approximately 8 seconds after power supply being turned on. Therefore, give sufficient time after turning on the power, then check the output of the device. As the start input uses a 24 Vdc input circuit, it takes approximately 1 second to confirm it.

Chapter 5. Trial Operation and Adjustment WARNING Make sure that the ignition times for the pilot and main burners do not exceed the ignition times specified by the burner or device manufacturer. Excessive ignition times may cause fuel to accumulate in the combustion chamber and form an explosive fuel-air mixture, which can result in a serious explosion hazard.
Chapter 5. Trial Operation and Adjustment Ignition spark response (UV sensor) WARNING Ensure that the UV sensor does not detect ultraviolet rays other than those from the burner. If the UV sensor responds to other ultraviolet radiation, fuel will continue to be supplied even if the burner flame is off, potentially causing an explosion.
Chapter 5. Trial Operation and Adjustment Measurement of flame voltage This device shows the flame voltage on the 7-segment display. It can be checked by changing the display using the DISP switch on the front of the device. Checking the flame voltage is the best way to determine whether or not the location of the flame detector is appropriate.
Page 49
Analog ame meter Flame voltage display FSP136A100 * Connector for front wiring (81447514-001/002) is required to connect FSP136A100 to BC-R25 series. Handling Precautions • For flame voltage output signal wires, use wire with indoor PVC insulation ("IV wire," JIS C3307) 0.75 mm .
Chapter 5. Trial Operation and Adjustment Pilot turn-down test WARNING Make sure that the pilot turn-down test is done properly. If the flame detector is able to detect a pilot flame that is too small to ignite the main burner, and if there is a flame failure of the main burner, this device will not be able to recognize the flame failure.
Chapter 5. Trial Operation and Adjustment (5) Turn off the power switch, return the main valve to the normal state and then turn on the power switch again. After the pre-purge, pilot burner combustion begins and then main burner combustion begins. If the main burner does not ignite, turn off the power switch immediately. The pilot flame is too small, so it must be increased.
Chapter 6. Maintenance and Inspection WARNING Ensure you turn off the power of this device and all auxiliary devices when mounting, removing or connecting the wires of this device. There is a risk of electrical shock. Terminal 14 (F) retains an electrical charge even after the power is turned off. Do not touch terminal 14 (F) even after turning the power off.
Chapter 6. Maintenance and Inspection Alarm codes and details When lock-out occurs, an alarm code is displayed automatically. When an alarm occurs, the sequence number and alarm code issued when the lock-out occurred are displayed alternately. Refer to chapter 4, “Relationship between Error Occurrence and Sequence.
Chapter 6. Maintenance and Inspection Failure inspection flow WARNING Before removing, mounting, or wiring the module, be sure to turn OFF the power to the module and all connected devices. Failure to do so may result in an electric shock. If there is any problem with the device, follow the inspection procedure below.
