Installation
General
The SOR Type 1510 Electric Level Switch mounts into
the side of a vessel.
Electric switching action is provided by the float
moving a magnet into the field of a hermetically
sealed reed switch capsule.
The unit may be mounted for either high or low liquid
level alarm by rotating the switch body to the proper
position. The body wrench flats provide for ease of
rotation and proper positioning. See decal on
housing.
Design and specifications are subject to change
without notice.
Before Installation of the Level Switch
1. Inspect the unit for any shipment damage.
2. Check for mechanical clearance of the float. Float
must move freely without binding throughout its
stroke.
3. Use an acceptable thread compound when installing unit to ensure a leak-free fit and avoid thread
galling.
4. To achieve required function, install unit according
to the nameplate instructions shown here.
The unit may be mounted in any of the following
installation arrangements.
a. 1-1/2” NPT half coupling (No full coupling).
b. 2” NPT full coupling. (Use in conjunction with
2 x 1-1/2” NPT bushing as required.)
c. 2” NPT pipe tee. (Use in conjunction with 2 x 1-1/2”
NPT bushing as required.)
d. Optional flanged mounting.
e. Optional chamber mounting.
Electrical Connection
Ensure that wiring conforms to all applicable local and
national electrical codes and install unit(s) according
to relevant national and local safety codes.
Electrical connection is free wire leads with a 1/2”
NPT(F) conduit connection. Use two wrenches — one
to hold hex conduit connection, the other to tighten
conduit fitting. Switching element is a hermetically
sealed reed switch.

Wiring for DPDT Relay
For Type 1510 Level Switches equipped with DPDT relays, a wiring schematic and pin position schematic is
shown below. When the 1510 is actuated, the coil will energize and “make” both NO1 and NO2 while it will
“break” NC1 and NC2. This provides a DPDT circuit.

Local Mount Types B121, B122, C120 (Immersion Stem)
The 120 Series temperature switch utilizes a liquid filled sensing stem
which expands or contracts against a bellows to detect a temperature
change. The response at a pre-determined set point(s), actuates or
deactuates a SPDT, dual SPDT, or DPDT snap-acting microswitch(es),
converting the temperature signal into an electronic signal. Control set
point(s) may be varied by turning the adjustment hex (C120) or the external knob(s) and pointer(s) (B121, B122) according to the procedures
outlined (see Part II– Adjustments).

TEMPERATURE CONTROLS, BE SURE TO RE-INSTALL
ADJUSTMENT COVER. DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN COVER SCREWS.
NOTE: For set point adjustments and recalibration, connect control to a
calibrated temperature source and stabilize unit.
NOTE: Type 822E has a single knob and pointer for both switches. Both
switches are standardly, factory set together within 5% of the dial range.
Turning the knob positions both switches simultaneously, maintaining a
constant separation between them.
Replace cover and adjustment knob if removed during installation.
Controller is ready for operation. Turn setting pointer to desired
control temperature and star t up the process. To suit particular process conditions or for greater controller accuracy it may be desirable to make slight alterations to the set point or
indicator reading. Procedures for making these adjustments are described
below.
by an amount greater than the difference between the switch settings by
moving the actuating lever upward with a finger or a tool simulating thermal assembly movement. Connect test lights to indicate switch operation
or listen for the individual switch clicks.
The set point of switch #1 is determined by the red Adjustment Pointer.
The set point of switch #2 may be adjusted by up to 25% of the range
span below the switch #1 set point by turning adjustment “D” in (clockwise). See Figure 4. The set point of switch #2 should not be above that
of switch #1.
To align switch #1 to the Adjustment Pointer, loosen adjustment “A” and
set the Adjustment Pointer to the scale, then re-tighten adjustment “A”.
Types C120, F120
Note: Indicating Pointer Deflection (820E, 822E): The indicating pointers
will read slightly low when the bulb temperature is 15° above the controller setting. This deflection is normal and repeatable (approximately 0.5%
of scale range on single switch models) and is due to the transference of
the switching mechanism load to the thermal system. It can be measured
by moving the setting pointer from the high to the low end of the scale
and observing the resultant indicating pointer deflection.
Note: Adjust set point by holding plunger with 3/16” open end wrench
and turning the calibrating screw with another 3/16” open end wrench
(see figure 5). Turn clockwise (in) to increase or counter-clockwise (out)
to decrease setting.
Note: Indicating Pointer Adjustment (820E, 822E): Use an accurate test
thermometer such as a thermocouple with its probe mounted directly to
the center of the sensing bulb. Before making any adjustments, allow process temperature to stabilize; i.e., successive on-off cycles repeated.
Adjustment Procedure
for C120/F120
Correct any difference between the Indicating Pointer and the test thermometer by holding the compensator with a 5/16” wrench while turning
the zero adjustment “C” on the thermal assembly with a second 5/16”
wrench, per Figure 6 until the brown Indicating Pointer reads the same
as the test thermometer. Turning clockwise lowers indicated reading.
Compare the process temperature with the set point Adjustment Pointer.
Loosen adjustment screw “A” to align set point Adjustment Pointer with the
Indicating Pointer. Re-tighten screw “A”.
Figure 5
Type B121 and E121
Adjust set point by turning external knob and pointer to desired setting on
scale.
Type B122 and E122
Individual switches may be set together or apart up to 100% of range.
When not set together, the front (low) switch cannot be set higher than the
rear (high) switch. Turning external knobs will increase or decrease each
switch setting independently.
Type E122P
Individual switches may be set together or apart by up to 60% of range.
The front switch is set by turning the internal calibrating screw to the right
for lower set point and turning to the left for higher set point. When not
set together, the front switch cannot be set higher than the rear switch.
Turning the external knob will increase or decrease each switch setting
simultaneously without disturbing their relationship.
NOTE: Prior to making any controller adjustments, the cover and adjustment knobs should be removed. When adjustments are completed, all
applicable parts should be replaced.
NOTE: The adjustment knob slides off adjustment shaft for the 820E &
822E. Be sure to replace gasket when re-assembling.
Type 820E
Move the set point Adjustment Pointer up scale beyond the brown Indicating
Pointer. This permits checking the set point by moving the lever arm upward
with a finger or tool simulating thermal assembly movement. Connect test
lights to indicate switch operation or listen for the switch to click. Loosen
adjustment “A” and move the Adjustment Pointer until it agrees with the
Indicating Pointer. When the switch clicks re-tighten the screw.
Type 822E
Remove the explosion-proof die-cast cover to permit access to the switches. Move the Adjustment Pointer up scale beyond the Indicating Pointer

Correction of Capillary
If the length of capillary immersed in the process differs from the amount
immersed (6”, see Mounting Bulb & Capillary in Part I - Installation) at
the factory calibration bath, a calibration shift will occur. The error may be
corrected as follows:
Move set pointer to the highest temperature setting. Note indicating scale
reading with the head and sensor at room temperature. Loosen the two
thermal assembly mounting screws. Re-position the housing index against
the calibration on the instrument case (or skeleton casting) at a rate of 1
division line per capillary length listed in the following column. Move to the
left if capillary is to be added to the process, or to the right if capillary is
to be removed from process.

RECOMMENDED PRACTICES AND WARNINGS
United Electric Controls Company recommends careful consideration of
the following factors when specifying and installing UE pressure and temperature units. Before installing a unit, the Installation and Maintenance
instructions provided with unit must be read and understood.
• To avoid damaging unit, proof pressure and maximum temperature
limits stated in literature and on nameplates must never be exceeded,
even by surges in the system. Operation of the unit up to maximum
pressure or temperature is acceptable on a limited basis (e.g., start-up,
testing) but continuous operation must be restricted to the designated
adjustable range. Excessive cycling at maximum pressure or temperature limits could reduce sensor life.
• A back-up unit is necessary for applications where damage to a
primary unit could endanger life, limb or property. A high or low
limit switch is necessary for applications where a dangerous runaway
condition could result.
• The adjustable range must be selected so that incorrect, inadvertent
or malicious setting at any range point cannot result in an unsafe
system condition.
• Install unit where shock, vibration and ambient temperature fluctuations will not damage unit or affect operation. Orient unit so that
moisture does not enter the enclosure via the electrical connection.
When appropriate, this entry point should be sealed to prevent moisture entry.
• Unit must not be altered or modified after shipment. Consult UE if
modification is necessary.
• Monitor operation to observe warning signs of possible damage to
unit, such as drift in set point or faulty display. Check unit immediately.
• Preventative maintenance and periodic testing is necessary for critical applications where damage could endanger property or personnel.
• For all applications, a factory set unit should be tested before use.
• Electrical ratings stated in literature and on nameplate must not be
exceeded. Overload on a switch can cause damage, even on the first
cycle. Wire unit according to local and national electrical codes,
using wire size recommended in installation sheet.
• Do not mount unit in ambient temp. exceeding published limits.

Thermocouple
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In electrical engineering and industry, thermocouples are a widely used type of
temperature sensor[1] and can also be used as a means to convert thermal potential
difference into electric potential difference.[2] They are cheap[3] and interchangeable,
have standard connectors, and can measure a wide range of temperatures. The main
limitation is accuracy; System errors of less than one degree Celsius (°C) can be
difficult to achieve.

Principle of operations
In 1821, the German–Estonian physicist Thomas Johann Seebeck discovered that when any conductor (such as a metal)
is subjected to a thermal gradient, it will generate a voltage. This is now known as the thermoelectric effect or Seebeck
effect. Any attempt to measure this voltage necessarily involves connecting another conductor to the "hot" end. This
additional conductor will then also experience the temperature gradient, and develop a voltage of its own which will
oppose the original. Fortunately, the magnitude of the effect depends on the metal in use. Using a dissimilar metal to
complete the circuit creates a circuit in which the two legs generate different voltages, leaving a small difference in
voltage available for measurement. That difference increases with temperature, and can typically be between 1 and 70
microvolts per degree Celsius (µV/°C) for the modern range of available metal combinations. Certain combinations
have become popular as industry standards, driven by cost, availability, convenience, melting point, chemical
properties, stability, and output. This coupling of two metals gives the thermocouple its name.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermocouple
11/17/2008
Page 2 of 7
Thermocouples measure the temperature difference between two points, not absolute temperature. In traditional
applications, one of the junctions—the cold junction—was maintained at a known (reference) temperature, while the
other end was attached to a probe.
Having available a known temperature cold junction, while useful for laboratory calibrations, is simply not convenient
for most directly connected indicating and control instruments. They incorporate into their circuits an artificial cold
junction using some other thermally sensitive device, such as a thermistor or diode, to measure the temperature of the
input connections at the instrument, with special care being taken to minimize any temperature gradient between
terminals. Hence, the voltage from a known cold junction can be simulated, and the appropriate correction applied.
This is known as cold junction compensation.
Additionally, a device can perform cold junction compensation by computation. It can translate device voltages to
temperatures by either of two methods. It can use values from look-up tables[4] or approximate using polynomial
interpolation.
A thermocouple can produce current, which means it can be used to drive some processes directly, without the need for
extra circuitry and power sources. For example, the power from a thermocouple can activate a valve when a
temperature difference arises. The electric power generated by a thermocouple is a conversion of the heat energy that
one must continuously supply to the hot side of the thermocouple to maintain the electric potential. The flow of heat is
necessary because the current flowing through the thermocouple tends to cause the hot side to cool down and the cold
side to heat up (the Peltier effect).
Thermocouples can be connected in series with each other to form a thermopile, where all the hot junctions are exposed
to the higher temperature and all the cold junctions to a lower temperature. The voltages of the individual
thermocouples add up, allowing for a larger voltage and increased power output, thus increasing the sensitivity of the
instrumentation. With the radioactive decay of transuranic elements providing a heat source this arrangement has been
used to power spacecraft on missions too far from the Sun to utilize solar power.
Attachment
Thermocouple materials are available in several different metallurgical formulations per type, such as: (listed in
decreasing levels of accuracy and cost) Special limits of error, Standard, and Extension grades. Extension grade wire is
less costly than dedicated thermocouple junction wire and it's usually specified for accuracy over a more restricted
temperature range. Extension grade wire is used when the point of measurement is farther from the measuring
instrument than would be financially viable for standard or special limits materials, and has a very similar thermal
coefficient of EMF for a narrow range (usually encompassing ambient). In this case, a standard or special limits wire
junction is tied to the extension grade wire outside of the area of temperature measurement for transit to the instrument.
Since most modern temperature measuring instruments that utilize thermocouples are electronically buffered to prevent
any significant current draw from the thermocouple, the length of the thermocouple or extension wire is irrelevant.
Changes in metallurgy along the length of the thermocouple (such as termination strips or changes in thermocouple
type wire) will introduce another thermocouple junction which affects measurement accuracy. Also, in the United
States, industry standards are that the thermocouple color code is used for the insulation of the positive lead, and red is
the negative lead.
Voltage–temperature relationship
The relationship between the temperature difference and the output voltage of a thermocouple is nonlinear and is
approximated by polynomial:
11/17/2008
Page 3 of 7
The coefficients an are given for N from zero to between five and nine.
To achieve accurate measurements the equation is usually implemented in a digital controller or stored in a look-up
table.[4] Some older devices use analog filters.
Types
A variety of thermocouples are available, suitable for different measuring applications. They are usually selected based
on the temperature range and sensitivity needed. Thermocouples with low sensitivities (B, R, and S types) have
correspondingly lower resolutions. Other selection criteria include the inertness of the thermocouple material, and
whether or not it is magnetic. The thermocouple types are listed below with the positive electrode first, followed by the
negative electrode.
K
Type K (chromel–alumel) is the most commonly used for general purpose
thermocouple. It is inexpensive and, owing to its popularity, available in a wide
variety of probes. They are available in the −200 °C to +1350 °C range. The type K
was specified at a time when metallurgy was less advanced than it is today and,
consequently, characteristics vary considerably between examples. Another potential
problem arises in some situations since one of the constituent metals, nickel, is
magnetic. One characteristic of thermocouples made with magnetic material is that
they undergo a step change when the magnetic material reaches its Curie point. This
occurs for this thermocouple at 354°C. Sensitivity is approximately 41 µV/°C.
K type thermocouple.
E
Type E (chromel–constantan)[4] has a high output (68 µV/°C) which makes it well
suited to cryogenic use. Additionally, it is non-magnetic.
J
Type J (iron–constantan) is less popular than type K due to its limited range (−40 to
+750 °C). The main application is with old equipment that cannot accept modern
thermocouples. The Curie point of the iron (770 °C) causes an abrupt change to the
characteristic and it is this that provides the upper temperature limit. Type J
thermocouples have a sensitivity of about 50 µV/°C.[3]
S and K type thermocouples,
the S one is partially sheathed
with an alundum tube.
N
Type N (nicrosil–nisil) thermocouples are suitable for use at high temperatures, exceeding 1200 °C, due to their
stability and ability to resist high temperature oxidation. Sensitivity is about 39 µV/°C at 900°C, slightly lower than
type K. Designed to be an improved type K, it is becoming more popular.
B, R, and S
11/17/2008
Page 4 of 7
Types B, R, and S thermocouples use platinum or a platinum–rhodium alloy for each conductor. These are among the
most stable thermocouples, but have lower sensitivity, approximately 10 µV/°C, than other types. The high cost of
these makes them unsuitable for general use. Generally, type B, R, and S thermocouples are used only for high
temperature measurements.
Type B thermocouples use a platinum–rhodium alloy for each conductor. One conductor contains 30% rhodium while
the other conductor contains 6% rhodium. These thermocouples are suited for use at up to 1800 °C. Type B
thermocouples produce the same output at 0 °C and 42 °C, limiting their use below about 50 °C.
Type R thermocouples use a platinum–rhodium alloy containing 13% rhodium for one conductor and pure platinum for
the other conductor. Type R thermocouples are used up to 1600 °C.
Type S thermocouples use a platinum–rhodium alloy containing 10% rhodium for one conductor and pure platinum for
the other conductor. Like type R, type S thermocouples are used up to 1600 °C. In particular, type S is used as the
standard of calibration for the melting point of gold (1064.43 °C).
T
Type T (copper–constantan) thermocouples are suited for measurements in the −200 to 350 °C range. Often used as a
differential measurement since only copper wire touches the probes. Since both conductors are non magneteic, there is
no Curie point and thus no abrupt change in characteristics. Type T thermocouples have a sensitivity of about 43 µV/°
C.
C
Type C (tungsten 5% rhenium – tungsten 26% rhenium) thermocouples are suited for measurements in the 0 °C to
2320 °C range. This thermocouple is well-suited for vacuum furnaces at extremely high temperatures and must never
be used in the presence of oxygen at temperatures above 260 °C.
M
Type M thermocouples use a nickel alloy for each wire. The positive wire contains 18% molybdenum while the
negative wire contains 0.8% cobalt.[5] These thermocouples are used in the vacuum furnaces for the same reasons as
with type C. Upper temperature is limited to 1400 °C. Though it is a less common type of thermocouple, look-up tables
to correlate temperature to EMF (milli-volt output) are available.
Chromel-gold/iron
In chromel-gold/iron thermocouples, the positive wire is chromel and the negative wire is gold with a small fraction
(0.03–0.15 atom percent) of iron. It can be used for cryogenic applications (1.2–300 K and even up to 600 K). Both the
sensitivity and the temperature range depends on the iron concentration. The sensitivity is typically around 15 µV/K at
low temperatures and the lowest usable temperature varies between 1.2 and 4.2 K.[6][7][8].
Thermocouple comparison
The table below describes properties of several different thermocouple types. Within the tolerance columns, T
represents the temperature of the hot junction, in degrees Celsius. For example, a thermocouple with a tolerance of
±0.0025×T would have a tolerance of ±2.5 °C at 1000 °C.

Applications
Thermocouples are most suitable for measuring over a large temperature range, up to 1800 °C. They are less suitable
for applications where smaller temperature differences need to be measured with high accuracy, for example the range
0–100 °C with 0.1 °C accuracy. For such applications, thermistors and resistance temperature detectors are more
suitable.
Steel industry
Type B, S, R and K thermocouples are used extensively in the steel and iron industries to monitor temperatures and
chemistry throughout the steel making process. Disposable, immersible, type S thermocouples are regularly used in the
electric arc furnace process to accurately measure the steel's temperature before tapping. The cooling curve of a small
steel sample can be analyzed and used to estimate the carbon content of molten steel.
Heating appliance safety
Many gas-fed heating appliances such as ovens and water heaters make use of a pilot light to ignite the main gas burner
as required. If the pilot light becomes extinguished for any reason, there is the potential for un-combusted gas to be
released into the surrounding area, thereby creating both risk of fire and a health hazard. To prevent such a danger,
some appliances use a thermocouple as a fail-safe control to sense when the pilot light is burning. The tip of the
11/17/2008
Page 6 of 7
thermocouple is placed in the pilot flame. The resultant voltage, typically around 20 mV, operates the gas supply valve
responsible for feeding the pilot. So long as the pilot flame remains lit, the thermocouple remains hot and holds the
pilot gas valve open. If the pilot light goes out, the temperature will fall along with a corresponding drop in voltage
across the thermocouple leads, removing power from the valve. The valve closes, shutting off the gas and halting this
unsafe condition.
Some systems, known as millivolt control systems, extend this concept to the main gas valve as well. Not only does the
voltage created by the pilot thermocouple activate the pilot gas valve, it is also routed through a thermostat to power the
main gas valve as well. Here, a larger voltage is needed than in a pilot flame safety system described above, and a
thermopile is used rather than a single thermocouple. Such a system requires no external source of electricity for its
operation and so can operate during a power failure, provided all the related system components allow for this. Note
that this excludes common forced air furnaces because external power is required to operate the blower motor, but this
feature is especially useful for un-powered convection heaters.
A similar gas shut-off safety mechanism using a thermocouple is sometimes employed to ensure that the main burner
ignites within a certain time period, shutting off the main burner gas supply valve should that not happen.
Out of concern for energy wasted by the standing pilot, designers of many newer appliances have switched to an
electronically controlled pilot-less ignition, also called intermittent ignition. With no standing pilot flame, there is no
risk of gas buildup should the flame go out, so these appliances do not need thermocouple-based safety pilot safety
switches. As these designs lose the benefit of operation without a continuous source of electricity, standing pilots are
still used in some appliances.
Thermopile radiation sensors
Thermopiles are used for measuring the intensity of incident radiation, typically visible or infrared light, which heats
the hot junctions, while the cold junctions are on a heat sink. It is possible to measure radiative intensities of only a few
µW/cm2 with commercially available thermopile sensors. For example, some laser power meters are based on such
sensors.
Manufacturing
Thermocouples can generally be used in the testing of prototype electrical and mechanical apparatus. For example,
switchgear under test for its current carrying capacity may have thermocouples installed and monitored during a heat
run test, to confirm that the temperature rise at rated current does not exceed designed limits.
Radioisotope thermoelectric generators
Thermopiles can also be applied to generate electricity in radioisotope thermoelectric generators.

Profire 1100 O peration
Overview
The Profire 1100 is a burner ignition system for atmospheric natural-draft burners. The unit
monitors and controls a pilot valve, main burner valve, uses high-voltage spark ignition and
has inputs to shutdown the burner or prevent startup if there is a fault condition. The
method of flame detection is ionization, with thermocouple being used as a flame detection
backup. The thermocouple is also used to control the main valve opening.
With ionization flame detection, the flame ionization effect is monitored between the
sparker rod and the pilot assembly. With thermocouple, the flame is detected with a ‘K’ type
thermocouple and there are two temperature set-points, one for pilot flame detected and the
other set-point to check for a high temperature pilot (pilot quality) before the main valve is
opened.
The front panel on the unit has LED lamps to display the state of the pilot valve, the main
valve, the sparker, the mode, the flame along with a three digit display to indicate the state
of the unit, purge times, and thermocouple temperature, depending on the sequence the
burner is currently executing. The front panel also has a keypad for entering pilot
temperature set-points, for controlling the operation mode, and has a prominent
“emergency shutdown” button.
A purge timer allows time for natural gas to dissipate from the natural-draft burner between
ignition attempts or after a flame failure. The purge timer is configurable to allow the purge
time to be set to allow proper purging of the burner. The target setting of the purge timer is
to allow three air exchanges before ignition. The purge time is set in 5 second increments
up to 600 seconds (10 minutes).
There is a Lockout Input which can be connected to external devices. The Profire 1100 is
programmed so the Lockout Input must be closed (normal state) before a start sequence is
initiated. The Lockout Input can be connected to valve position sensors or other devices
that give a closed contact when in a “safe-to-start” mode. After the unit has started the
ignition sequence, the Lockout Input is allowed to open.
The PRS Input (pressure input) must be closed for the unit to start, as well as while the unit
is in normal running mode. This input can be wired into high and low pressure switches in
a loop so if any device opens its contacts, the controller will shut down the burner, initiate
alarm mode, and wait for operator intervention.
The Emergency Shutdown input must be closed for the unit to start, as well as while the
unit is in normal running mode. This input can be wired into various alarms such as “High
Glycol Temperature”, “Low Glycol Level”, etc., in a loop, so if any device opens its
contacts, the controller will shut down the burner, initiate the alarm mode and wait for
operator intervention.
An alarm output on the unit can be connected to monitoring equipment which indicates
whether the unit is operating normally or has a fault.

Installation
Site Selection
The Profire 1100 system enclosure is CSA compliant for a Zone 2 (Class 1,
Division 2) (C&D) area classification. This means the system enclosure must
be mounted outside any Zone 1 (Class 1, Division 1) area. The system can be
mounted on the unit skid or on a building wall as long as it does not infringe
on a Zone 1 (Class 1, Division 1) area.
The Profire 1100 system enclosure is a fiberglass box, 8" x 6" x 4", complete
with mounting tabs. The enclosure weighs less than 5 pounds, so heavy-duty
supports are not required, but the unit should be firmly mounted, as the push
buttons on the front panel have to be operated. The enclosure should be
mounted in a location that faces away from the burner housing so that the
operator is facing both the enclosure and the burner housing while operating
the unit. Other considerations are panel access, traffic, wire-runs, and
visibility. The enclosure should be mounted about 5 1/2 feet above ground
level.
The spark generator (coil), however, must be mounted in a non-hazardous
area, as there is a potential of a spark arcing across the output terminals of the
coil or along the insulated high-voltage leads. The ideal location for the spark
generator is inside the burner housing.

pressing of the PRG button scrolls through the menu items. Pressing the UP
or DOWN buttons will modify the item selected. Press OK to save and exit
program mode.
Flame mode
The Profire 1100 use two methods of flame detection, using an Ionization
circuit, in conjunction with a type K
thermocouple probe. This is a safe and reliable method. The thermocouple
probe provides a low and high set
point that ensures a stable pilot. Running the Ionization circuit in conjunction
with the probe, detects a flame-out within 1.8 seconds.
Hi and Low set points
Setting the high set points can be done once the lowest running temperature of
the flame has been established. This is done on the initial start-up of the unit.
Typically the pilot temperature can be used, but on occasion the main burner can
cool the flame temperature of the pilot. If that is the case, one should use the lower
of the two flame temperatures as a guideline to setting the Hi set point. The unit
must then be shut down to adjust and accept the new value. Only under special
circumstances will the low set point need adjustment. This will occur if the
operating temperature of the vessel is higher than the low set point, or if the probe
will not cool to a point for re-ignition. One must keep in mind that on a cold start,
there is a time-frame to reach this set point.

Operation
Start sequence: In Auto mode
Step #1
-
Check is done to verify unit is in a safe mode to start
- Pilot Closed
- Main Closed
- No Flame detected
- Lockout input closed
- PRS input closed
- ESD input is closed
Step #2
-
-
Sparker starts sparking and Pilot opens
- Sparker sparks 20 times per second for a total of 5 seconds.
- After 5 seconds of Spark, the Pilot remains open for 10 seconds for flame detection.
- If no flame is detected, the Pilot is closed and the system goes into a purge delay.
After the purge delay and if the retry count has not been exceeded, the unit will again try
to light the burner.
The unit is only allowed a set number of retries. If the retry count has been exceeded,
the unit goes into Idle mode and the alarm output indicates an alarm condition. In idle
mode, no additional relight attempts will be made unless there is operator
intervention.

- After ignition, if the pilot is verified for 10 seconds, the Main valve is allowed to open.
- The pilot temperature has to reach the high setpoint before the Main will open.
- If flame fails anytime during this sequence, the unit will go into a purge sequence. If
the retry counter allows, it will attempt a relight; otherwise it will go into idle mode,
alarm and wait for operator intervention.

Burner running
If flame is lost for 1.8 seconds, the main and pilot valves will close and the burner will go
into a purge sequence. If the retry counter allows, it will attempt a relight; otherwise it
will go into idle mode, alarm and wait for operator intervention.
If the thermocouple temperature drops below the high setpoint, the main and pilot
valves will close and the burner will go into a purge sequence. If the retry counter allows,
it will attempt a relight; otherwise it will go into idle mode, alarm and wait for operator
intervention.
Notes:
- On unit power up, the unit will first go into a purge cycle, then if in Manual mode the
unit will wait for operator input or if in Auto mode, the unit will attempt an ignition
sequence.
-
During an Emergency Shutdown (ESD), the LED display digits show “ESD”, the unit
will shut down, and the unit will switch to Manual mode. To clear ESD, the operator
must press the OK button. If the unit will not clear, the ESD contact is still open. In this
case, check plant condition.
-
If the Lockout Input opens during the start sequence, the unit will display LCK, prevent
startup, and wait for the operator to press OK. If the LCK does not clear, then the
contact is still open and the operator should check the valve or limit-switch position.
-
If the PRS Input opens at any time, the unit will shutdown, display PRS, and wait for the
operator to press OK. If the unit does not clear, check pressure switches.
-
During the purge time, the unit is prevented from ignition or valve operation until the
timer reaches zero. The LED display digits will display “PU” alternating with the time
left on the purge timer.
-
In normal operation, the display will show the thermocouple temperature. There is a
configuration option to turn off the display and indicator LEDs after a time, to save
power.
-
If the thermocouple is disconnected, the unit will flash 999 and prevent startup.
-
When the burner is operating normally the display will show “RUN”.

INSTALLATION AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
for Bath I Control Card in Profire 1100 Burner Management System
Rev. 1 – 20 November 2008
Function
The Bath I Control Card for the Profire 1100 adds a three-stage high temperature shutdown functionality.
Setpoints can be configured and saved in the Profire 1100 for each temperature trip limit. Bath I Control
Card should not be used directly for temperature control but only as a backup in case primary temperature
control fails. In addition, Bath I Card protects system from overheating in case process heat demand is
lower than the burner low fire, i.e. beyond burner maximum turndown.
Primary Process Temperature Control
Primary process temperature control must be provided by a temperature controller (TC101) external to
this BMS and using a separate temperature element (TE101). A temperature switch, I/P controller, or a
pneumatic temperature controller may be connected to a temperature control valve (TCV205).
Alternately for heaters with fuel inputs not exceeding 1 MM Btuh, a temperature switch (TSH101) can be
wired in series with the BMS output to the automatic safety shutoff valve(s) (SSV202 & SSV 203). To
meet the intent of the CSA B149.3 Code, a controller (TC101), which is not connected to a certified
safety shutoff valve(s) (SSV202 & SSV203) can operate the burner between its maximum and minimum
fire only, but it cannot shut the burner off entirely. This means that the TCV205 must have either a
mechanical or an electronic low fire stop (STP205). In addition, heaters with fuel input in excess of 1
MM BTU/hr must have a low fire start (SOV205) and slow opening valves (SPV205) (10-30 seconds
opening time recommended).
K-type Thermocouple to Bath I Card Connection
K-type thermocouple (TE102) inserted into a thermowell immersed in the bath liquid, must be wired
using a K-type 20 Ga thermocouple wire (yellow (+), red (-), shield) to the optional Bath I card mounted
on the inside of the Profire 1100 door. Shield connection should be done only on the controller side.
Thermocouple sheath tip must be in contact with the bottom of the thermowell. Spring loaded
thermocouple and/or use of heat conductive high temperature compound is recommended to avoid
erroneous temperature readings. Standard wire should not be used for thermocouple connection to the
Bath I card, as it may introduce a significant error in temperature readings.
Fuel Train Design
The most common P&ID is shown in the diagram below. It is based on the use of two CSA 6.5 C/I
certified shutoff valves (SSV202 & SSV203) and one pneumatic TCV205 with EQ% trim, minimum fire
stop (STP205), minimum fire bypass solenoid valve (SOV205) and a speed control valve (SPV205). Bath
temperature is controlled by an external pneumatic controller (TC101), such as a Kimray HT12.
Other standard or customized designs are available from ENEFEN Engineering Ltd. All designs are fully
compliant with the CSA B149.3 Code and can be Field Approved under the Alberta Municipal Affairs
Accepted ENEFEN Fired Appliance Field Approval Program in Alberta or by applicable Authority
Having Jurisdiction in other Canadian provinces.
Three-Stage High Temperature Shutdown (TSHH101, TSHH102, TSHH103)
Profire 1100 BMS displays the current bath temperature value (PV) read from the temperature element
TE102 as “PU”
The three temperature shutdown setpoint values are displayed as:
TSHH1 = “SP” (default value 50 deg C)
TSHH2 = “HH1” (default value 60 deg C)
TSHH3 = “HH2” (default value 65 deg C)
In addition, Profire 1100 displays:
Bath temperature low alarm as “bLo” (default value 0 deg C), and
Temperature setpoint deadband as “dEd” (default value 4 deg C).
Each of the above setpoint values can be viewed by repetitive pressing of the PROG button and when the
desired label is displayed, its associated value can be adjusted by pressing UP and DOWN buttons then
saving it to the memory by pressing the OK button. By holding down the UP or DOWN buttons, the value
will change in increments of 10.
Since the TSHH1, TSHH2 and TSHH3 values are interrelated and the controller expects the TSHH1 to be
the lowest and the TSHH3 the highest value, it is recommended that when decreasing these three values
the adjustment should be started with TSHH1 followed by TSHH2 and then TSHH3. When increasing the
three values the adjustment should be done in the reverse order.
When changing the setpoints, the “SP” will not increase above “HH2” minus 2 deg C, and “HH2” will not
decrease below “SP” plus 2 deg C. If attempting to increment beyond these limits Profire 1100 will
momentarily display “ERR”.
If the password is enabled, pressing the PROG button will only allow the operator to change the TSHH1
(“SP”) value. The operator must press OK and then enter the password to change any other settings
including the TSHH2 (“HH1”) and TSHH3 (“HH2”) setpoints.
While the unit is idle or running and not in program mode, the operator can press the UP or DOWN
button to scroll through the following values:
“PU” = current bath temperature reading from bath thermocouple
TSHH1 (“SP”) = main burner shutdown setpoint
TSHH2 (“HH1”) = pilot shutdown setpoint
TSHH3 (“HH2”) = heater high temperature trip setpoint
“PLc” = Pilot temperature reading from pilot thermocouple
At any time while displaying these values, the operator can press the OK button to return to the
respective idle or running display.
Deadband (“dEd”) Value
The deadband is set by pressing the PROG button until the “dEd” is displayed. The deadband can be
adjusted from 0 to 10 degrees C and applies to the THH1 (“SP”) and the THH2 (“HH1”) setpoints. The
deadband adjusts the difference between the point at which either main burner or pilot, or both are turned
odd, then turned back on.. For example, if the TSHH1 (“SP”) is set to 60 deg C and the dead band
(“dEd”) is set to 5 deg C, the main burner will be turn off when the bath temperature exceeds 60 deg C
and will be turned back on when the bath temperature decreases to 60 deg C – 5 deg C = 55 deg C.
TSHH1 (“SP”) High Temperature Shutdown
The lowest high temperature shutdown setpoint TSHH1 (displayed as “SP”) is used as a backup to the
primary temperature control loop (TC101). In the event of the loss of control by TC101, or an overtemperature condition at low fire, Profire 1100 BMS will remove power to main safety shutoff valve(s)
without causing a system trip or alarm. When the burner is running normally, the display is cycling first
through “SP” label, followed by its setpoint value, then the “PU” label followed by the actual bath
temperature. If the “PU” exceeds the “SP” for a period longer than 10 seconds, the MAIN burner valve(s)
is closed until the bath temperature decreases for a period longer than 60 seconds below the “SP” value
minus the deadband (“dEd”) value. Then the MAIN burner valve(s) reopen. When the MAIN burner
valve is closed due to exceeded “SP”, the MAIN LED on the front panel will flash.
For example: if TSHH1 (“SP”) = 50 deg C and “dEd” = 2 deg C the main valve(s) will close if the bath
temperature (“PU”) exceeds 50 deg C for more than 10 seconds, then will reopen once the bath
temperature decreases to 48 deg C for more than 60 seconds.
Warning: During the TSHH1 (“SP) shutdown, the main valves can automatically restart at any
time. To prevent main valves from reopening, press the MODE button to switch to MANUAL mode. All
alarms and conditions, which automatically switch the unit to MANUAL, will also cancel the temporary
main burner shutdown.
TSHH2 (“HH1”) High Temperature Shutdown
The middle high temperature shutdown setpoint TSHH2 (displayed as “HH1”) is used as a backup in case
the pilot flame alone overheats the system (zero process demand and low heat loss). Profire will remove
power to the pilot safety shutoff valve without causing trip or alarm.
When “HH1” setpoint is exceeded for a period longer than 10 seconds, Profire 1100 will shut down the
pilot until the bath temperature (“PU”) decreases for a period longer than 60 seconds below the “SP”
value minus the deadband (“dEd”) value. Then the ignition is turned on and both pilot and main flame
restarted. During the pilot shutdown due to exceeded “HH1”, both the PILOT and MAIN LEDs on the
front panel will flash indicating the temporary burner shutdown. Also the display will show “H-1”
alternating with the current “HH1” value.
For example: if TSHH1(“SP) = 50 deg C, TSHH2 (“HH1”) = 60 deg C and “dEd” = 2 deg C the pilot
valve will close if the bath temperature (“PU”) exceeds 60 deg C for more than 10 seconds, then the pilot
and main flame will be restarted once the bath temperature decreases to 48 deg C for more than 60
seconds.
Warning: During the TSHH2 (“HH1”) shutdown, the burner can automatically restart at any
time. To cancel the temporary shutdown and prevent automatic restart, press the MODE button to switch
to MANUAL mode. All alarms and conditions, which automatically switch the unit to MANUAL, will
also cancel the temporary shutdown and prevent automatic restart.
Intermittent and Continuous Pilot Mode
There are two “special cases” of TSHH2 (“HH1”) setup:
1) If TSHH2 (“HH1”) is set to the same value as “SP”, Profire 1100 BMS will turn the pilot off at the
same time as the main burner. Then, once the bath temperature (“PU”) decreases below the “SP”
value minus the “dEd” value for a period longer than 60 seconds, Profire will automatically restart
the pilot and the main burner. This mode is recommended as a fuel savings measure, especially on
systems using propane for pilot flame.
2) If TSHH2 (“HH2”) is set to zero (0), Profire 1100 BMS will maintain the pilot operation until the
bath temperature exceeds TSHH3 (“HH2”) and the heater trips. This is a traditional operating
method of fire-tube heaters resulting in higher fuel consumption. Once set to zero display of the
“HH1” setpoint value will display “OFF” indicating that a separate pilot trip point is disabled.
TSHH3 (“HH2”) High Temperature Shutdown
The highest high temperature shutdown setpoint TSHH3 (displayed as “HH2”) is the final heater trip
point. If bath temperature (“PU”) exceeds TSHH3 (“HH2”) setpoint for a period longer than 10 seconds
the Profire 1100 will ESD and alarm. The display will show “H-2” alternating with an “ESD” display.
The operator must press the OK button to acknowledge the alarm before the unit can be restarted.
Bath Temperature Low (“bLo”) Alarm
An additional temperature setpoint in the Profire 1100 BMS is the bath low temperature alarm (“bLo”). If
bath temperature (“PU”) decreases below “bLo” setpoint the Profire 1100 will alarm but will maintain
normal burner firing. The display will show “bLo” alternating with the current bath temperature value.
The alarm will be automatically reset once the bath temperature increases above the “bLo” setpoint. This
function of the Profire 1100 BMS is strictly for the annunciation purposes for the operator in case of an
excessive process load or problems with reduced burner firing rate.
Pilot Thermocouple Display
If the Profire 1100 is set to either dual flame rod/flame thermocouple flame supervision mode or an
emergency flame thermocouple only mode, the pilot thermocouple temperature is displayed during heater
startup until the main safety shutoff valve(s) (SSV2023 & SSV203) open. During this time, the display
will alternate between “PLc” and the pilot temperature. The pilot temperature can also be displayed by
pressing the UP or DOWN buttons while the unit is in idle or running.
Bath Thermocouple Failure
If the process temperature thermocouple becomes disconnected or fails, the unit will
immediately shut down and display “ERR” then “31”.
Thermocouple Calibration
The bath thermocouple reading can be adjusted by +/- 10 deg C using a calibration feature in the menu. If
bath temperature can be accurately confirmed using a temperature calibrator or an accurate temperature
gauge press PROG button until “CPU” is displayed followed by the “CPU” value. The “CPU” value can
be adjusted by pressing the UP or DOWN buttons. Once the correct temperature is displayed, press OK to
save the calibration factor.
The calibration feature is for fine-tuning only and should not be used to compensate for non-linear
temperature reading errors due to improper wiring used, grounding, or thermocouple problems. Typically,
a new Profire 1100 BMS controller should show bath temperature within +/- 1 deg C. If error exceeds +/5C, the problem should be investigated and rectified.
Common thermocouple problems
1) Thermocouple reads ambient temperature but the actual temperature is known to be higher - Check
for shorted thermocouple positive and negative wires
2) Thermocouple shows a large temperature error or the temperature changes erratically - Check that
the thermocouple is isolated from ground. A short to power supply or earth ground on either lead
from the thermocouple will create an offset.
