1. General Information
The D-LX 700 Compact Flame Scanner consists of a control unit and an optical flame scanner. The
flame scanner is suitable for monitoring flames from a variety of fuels and combustion techniques,
particularly in single burner applications. Uses for this flame scanner include remote heating stations,
chemical processes or thermal flue gas combustion systems.
The D-LX 700 Compact Flame Scanner offers an extremely high degree of safety and availability by
using two microprocessors operating in parallel, with corresponding hardware and software. The
hardware is designed to follow all EC guidelines and laws relevant to electromagnetic compatibility.
Thanks to the fail-safe design of the hardware, and the softwares continuous checks of all safetyrelated functions, the D-LX 700 meets the European standards EN 230 (oil) and EN 298 (gas), as well
as technical guidelines for steam boilers TRD 411 to 414 and TRD 604 for intermittent, continuous
and 72-hour operation.
In order to accurately monitor various types of flames and combustion conditions, five different models
are available, with spectral sensitivities in the UV and IR spectrums.
The flame recognition threshold for the flame scanner can be programmed to one of ten different
settings using a rocker switch on the front panel. The scanners safety time, which refers to the
number of seconds before the scanner will signal flame outage, is set at the factory to 1 s. Longer
safety periods of 3 or 5 s may be programmed in upon request.
If one chooses the most suitable compact flame scanner, positions it correctly on the sighting tube,
and properly sets the threshold, one will always be able to selectively monitor single burners or even a
furnace.
The essential operational groups of the control unit are depicted in the D-LX 700 block diagram (fig.
1):
Dual-channel microprocessor systems for control and oversight of flame monitoring functions.
Integrated flame scanner with shutter drive for performing self-checks.
Dynamically driven fault relay, K1; internal operating voltages and all safety-related hardware
functions are monitored.

3. Functional Description
The photo elements used in the integrated optical flame scanner evaluate different spectral ranges of
the flame. Those scanners with semiconductor photo elements cover ranges from short-wave UV-A
to infrared. The signal from the photo element passes through an amplifier with suppression of any
constant (non-dynamic) emitted energy. This amplifier can be set to one of two different levels. After
the amplifier, the signal runs through a high-pass filter and a pulse generation stage.
The pulses generated by the integrated flame scanners, which offer a measure of the flame intensity,
are transmitted to the microprocessor system and will trigger a flame ON or OFF signal, depending on
the flame recognition threshold programmed in.
Three features are available for the flame signal: 1) a fail-safe relay contact, K2, 2) a green LED on
the front panel, and 3) a current output for display of the flame intensity. The current output is set at
the factory to either 4-20 or 0-20 mA.
Both operational readiness and fault status are signaled via a contact in the K1 fault relay, and either a
yellow (ready) or red (fault) LED on the front panel.
The DURAG D-ZS 087-20 Display Unit may be plugged into the jack on the front panel. This device
displays the flame intensity as a pulse signal between 0 and 4095 pulses/sec. and further aides in
setting the proper flame recognition threshold.

4. Self-Check
The D-LX 700 Compact Flame Scanner is fail-safe and self-checking, in accordance with European
EN standards for flame scanning equipment. After power-up, the flame scanner performs a selfcheck, which is constantly performed during continuous operation.
If employed for continuous operation, any component failure that jeopardizes the safety-related
functions of a scanner must trigger an error shutdown. The D-LX 700 is therefore equipped with a
dual-channel microprocessor system. This system controls all functions and self-checks, and
monitors all safety-related timing sequences. Input and output status is independently checked and
compared by the microprocessors. Only if they agree is operation allowed to continue.
If the controller signals flame ON, the integrated flame scanner is automatically monitored. This
occurs every second for 0.2 s via the activation of a shutter. The shutter is a transistor separating the
photo element from the electronics. The interruption of the photocurrent simulates the outage of a
flame and must result in a drop in the flame signal that was present during the 0.8 s that the scanner
was monitoring the flame. If a hardware problem causes too little a decrease in the flame signal, an
error shutdown will occur after eight such cycles, that is, after eight seconds.
If the flame ON signal is stopped, the integrated flame scanner is also no longer checked.

5. Fault
If the internal self-check recognizes an error in the safety-related software and hardware components,
an error shutdown and internal lockout must be triggered. The relays for the flame, operational
readiness and fault signals are released, and the red LED on the front panel will begin blinking. The
contact from K1 signals the present fault.
The red LED blinks 5 times by itself. After that, the yellow LED will also begin blinking with the red.
The number of times that the yellow LED blinks corresponds to the type of error, which allows the
operator to precisely analyze the source of the fault. The following error sources can be signaled:

If the cause of the error is a defect in the integrated flame scanner,

the red and green LEDs will blink alternately.

Pressing the reset button on the front panel of the D-LX 700 acknowledges a fault in the unit and
allows flame scanning functions to continue after restart. When the reset button is pressed, all LEDs
will go off. It is also possible to reset the unit by open the plug connection or by interrupting the yellow
24 V supply wire for a short moment. In this case the cover of the flame scanner doesnt have to be
opened in order to get access to the reset button.
If the power supply is interrupted or the reset button is pressed, the relays are released, regardless of
the status of the unit (flame signal ON / OFF or fault). The flame scanning program is then restarted.

6. Installation
Installation occurs according to the D-LX 700 dimensional drawings. The electrical installation must
be performed in accordance with the wiring diagram in this manual, as well as any local guidelines.
The location of fuses F1 and F2 can be found in the dimensional drawing.
The enclosure rating of the flame scanner is IP67 if it is a model with the plug connection.

Location of fuses

Note: To change the amplification or to replace the fuses, the electronics must be pulled from the
housing. Due to the D-LX 700s compact design, one must observe that no wires get pinched when
putting the scanner back together. The housing should be closed without using excessive force.

Page 6

D-LX 700

To guarantee the best, most selective flame monitoring, one must determine the correct position of the
scanner, since the flame must be visible to the flame scanner at all times, regardless of the load range
of the burner. The 6 angle of view should always be oriented toward the root of the flame, that is, the
bottom third of the flame.
For optimal alignment of the flame scanner, the D-LX 700 uses a 4-20 mA (or 0-20 mA, if desired)
current output which displays the flame intensity. Note: the current output leads are not galvanically
separated from the internal voltage supply. To avoid having faults attributed to the flame scanner,
these leads may need to be shielded. As a rule, however, shielding is not required for cable lengths
below 15 ft (5 m).
For high availability in the system, the power supply equipment and the flame scanner must be
properly timed (power supply and maximum time for outages).

When connecting the flame scanner, all local regulations must be observed.
The flame scanner is equipped with a safety screw to ensure that the scanner
is firmly in place. Always be certain that the flame scanner has been mounted
properly.

6.1. Start-Up
Once mounted and connected according to the drawings and diagrams in this manual, the D-LX 700
Compact Flame Scanner is immediately ready for operation once power is supplied.

7. Programming the Flame Scanner

The flame scanner is equipped with a rocker switch for adjusting the flame recognition threshold of the
flame relay. This threshold may be set to one of ten levels. The scanner is also equipped with a hook
switch for adjusting the amplification of the photo current to one of two different levels. The rocker
switch is accessible after removing the cover plate. The hook switch is still obscured by the housing
even if the cover plate has been removed, since it is only intended to be switched under special
circumstances for dampening very high flame signals.

D-LX 700

Page 7

7.1. Setting the Flame Recognition Threshold

By setting the flame recognition threshold on the flame scanner, the operator of the combustion
system determines whether the flame signal (pulse frequency) of the integrated flame scanner should
generate a flame ON or flame OFF signal. This threshold is set using the push button switch on the
front panel, and may be programmed to one of ten settings. After start-up, the threshold setting must
be protected from unauthorized changes.
Switch setting 0 is the highest threshold. The flame scanner must generate a strong flame signal in
order to register flame ON. Position 9 is the lowest threshold. A weak flame signal is sufficient to
trigger and maintain a flame ON signal.

The operator uses this threshold setting to determine

when the flame scanner signals flame ON or OFF.

The green (flame ON) LED and the 4-20 mA (or 0-20 mA) analog output for flame intensity may be
used to select the proper switch position. However, use of the D-ZS 087-20 Digital Display Unit is
recommended. When setting the flame recognition threshold, one must always consider the possible
influence of ambient light. This can play a role both in multi-burner and single burner applications.
Flame OFF Setting:
If the burner is shut down, the flame recognition threshold (switch-on threshold) must be set high
enough that the flame scanner does not see any ambient light and reliably signals Flame OFF:
the green Flame LED is not illuminated,
the current in the flame intensity measurement circuit is less than 8 (or 5) mA,
the fail-safe relay output to the external flame ON signal is open.
Flame ON Setting:
If the burner is operating, the flame signal must reliably exceed the flame recognition (shut-off)
threshold and signal Flame ON:
the green Flame LED is illuminated,
the current in the flame intensity measurement circuit is greater than 12 (or 10) mA
the fail-safe relay output to the external flame ON signal is closed.
Example:
The flame recognition threshold is set on site such that a flame ON signal is reliably present given
sufficient flame intensity, under all load conditions. That is to say, the flame intensity current display
fluctuates between 12 (or 10) and 20 mA. If the flame image deteriorates too much, the flame signal
(pulse frequency) must dip below the shut-off threshold. The safety time programmed into the
scanner will then begin to run. After the safety time expires, the flame OFF signal is given and the
green LED goes out (flame intensity current is less than 8 (or 5) mA).

Once the scanners alignment and flame recognition threshold have been
properly determined, the D-LX 700 must reliably report if a burner is shut down
or if an impermissible deterioration of the flame image occurs. Consideration
must be given in order that ambient light sources do not generate faulty system
status. The operator must see to it that the settings are never changed by
unauthorized personnel.

If the flame recognition threshold is changed, one must be aware that if the rocker switch is not
pressed all the way, it is possible to have the scanner programmed to an intermediate setting,
between settings 1 and 2, for example. If the switch is stuck in one of these undefined settings for
more than 8 s, an error shutdown will occur.

7.3. Setting the Amplification

In most cases it is unnecessary to set the amplification of the photo element signal. However, if signal
saturation should occur due to a very intense flame signal, the amplification hook switch can be
moved from position V2 to position V1.
The hook switch is mounted near the photo element. The housing must be removed in order to gain
access to it. The four Allen screws must be loosened and the electronics insert pulled from the
housing.
When putting the housing back together, the housings o-ring must be in the correct position, and the
cable bundle must lie inside the housing such that the electronics can be re-inserted without using
excessive force and without pinching the cable bundle. Once the housing is back in place, the Allen
screws must be screwed back in.

7.4. D-ZS 087-20 Digital Display Unit

By connecting the D-ZS 087 display unit, the flame intensity can be displayed as a pulse signal, from
0 - 4095 pulses. Furthermore, the minimum and maximum values are stored, and the thresholds for
the flame ON and flame OFF ranges are calculated. This allows the operator to determine the optimal
threshold between ambient light (relay must remain in the OFF position) and flame (relay must remain
in the ON position, even if flame intensity is minimal).

8. Safety Time
The safety time is the response time of the flame scanner to the outage of the flame signal (pulse
frequency of the integrated flame scanner) and the resulting shut-off of the relay contact for the flame
ON signal.
The D-LX 700 has a standard safety time of 1 s. Safety times of 3 and 5 s are available upon request.
Should the safety time need to be changed, the following steps must be followed:

9. Integrated Flame Scanner

In order that the flame scanner can be used in burner applications with the widest variety of fuels, 2
UV and 2 IR flame scanner models are available. All flame scanners with a semiconductor photo
element have the same electronic shutter in common. The scanners use this shutter to perform a
continuous check of the internal signal amplifier and filter. The signal amplifier can be set to one of
two levels. Amplification level V2 is higher than V1 by a factor of three. The scanner comes from the
factory having been set to V2.

Page 10

D-LX 700

9.1. Infrared Flame Scanner

The IR zone of a flame is in many cases large and, relative to UV radiation, very intense. The IR zone
is easy to acquire under different angles of view, is strong in signal, and is not sensitive to absorption
by gases. Compared to a UV flame scanner, however, it is more sensitive to ambient light.
A silicon photo element with a spectral sensitivity of = 300 nm to 1100 nm is used in the D-LX 700 IS.
This flame scanner detects visible light. If the flame is red or orange in color, it is visible to the
scanner, on the pre-condition, however, that there is movement in the flame, i.e., the flame is dynamic.
The D-LX 700 IG A employs a germanium photo element with a spectral sensitivity of = 780 nm to
1800 nm. The integrated flame scanner will therefore acquire the dynamic range of radiation
generated by nearly all fuels. This type of flame scanner is strong in signal, but demonstrates lower
selectivity due to the large IR zone.
Flames whose short-wave UV radiation is absorbed by dust, water vapor or other materials can be
monitored in the IR range. Applications include waste incinerators and oil-fired combustion systems.
In the case of the latter, IR monitoring in the spectral range of 300 to 1100 nm is typical.
IR flame scanners with a spectral sensitivity up to 1800 nm have proven themselves especially
effective in applications employing measures for NOx reduction, e.g., flue gas re-circulation or
systems with combination burners for gas and oil.
Note:
It can occur in practice that static emitters, like glowing boiler components, become modulated by
combustion air currents or flue gas clouds, and work like ambient light with dynamic portions of
radiation. Should this radiation lie in the range received by the scanner, i.e., in the IR spectrum, and
within the normal flicker frequency range (approx. 10 to 200 Hz), an output signal will be generated by
the flame scanner in the form of a pulse frequency corresponding to the intensity and dynamics of the
received radiation. The flame recognition threshold (pulse threshold) of the D-LX 700 may not in this
case be exceeded by the pulse frequency of the integrated flame scanner and cannot be allowed to
trigger a flame ON signal (see section 6: Setting the Flame Recognition Threshold on the Flame
Scanner).

galvanically connected to the internal voltage.
The relay contact for the flame ON signal is delivered with a fuse, F2 = 0.5 A, slow, MST250, for

10.4.1. Cable and Shielding

The D-LX 700 is designed for the connection of 230 VAC via the fault contact and flame contact, while
the system operates in the low-voltage 24 VDC range.
If the contacts are to be used in the high-voltage 230 VAC range, either an appropriately insulated
cable must be used to cover the entire distance from the flame scanner, or a distributor panel needs to
be installed, with separate cables used after it.
Shielding, if needed at all, is only required for the current output because the internal voltages of the
flame scanner (0V and 5V) lead out from the flame scanner via this output.
Recommendation:
Separate 3 high-voltage conductors and a protective ground as early as
possible (up to 5m) from the low-voltage line and then lay 2 or 3 separate cables over greater
distances:

3 wires for relay contacts (q1)

no shield necessary

Diameters q1 and q3 can be determined by conditions on site.

Diameter q2 must be great enough that resistance per conductor does not exceed R= 10. The D-LX
700 operates then at 24V - (200mA x 2 x 10) = 20V still permissible.
The D-LX 700 is constructed potential free. There is no connection between power supply and
grounded housing. If the flame monitor stops operation because of a flame sensor-error (red and
green LEDs flash) this potential separation may be responsible for that.

LX100-10-003

In that case a capacitive connection of C1= approx. 100nF or a direct connection B1 may help (but
with B1 you loose the separation of potentials!)

11. General Information about the D-LL 703 Fibre Optic System
The D-LL 703 fibre optic system consists of a fibre optic bundle including the lens system (D-FO 703),
an inner carrier assembly with purge air connection and the threaded flame scanner mount (D-IC
703), and an outer carrier assembly including cooling air connection and mounting flange for welding
(D-OC 703).
The forward section of the D-LL 703 fibre optic system carrier components is flexible. This allows the
scanner to monitor the flames of tilting burners. In these applications, the flange of the outer carrier
assembly should be welded to the moving portion of the burner facing the flame. If the burner is
moved up to a new location to distribute heat, the scanner will be automatically adjusted to the new
flame location. Another suitable application for the fibre optic system is for installations that do not
have a direct line of sight from the flame scanner to the burner flame.
These fibre optic systems are available for two different spectral ranges: the UV flame scanner D-LX
703 UA/UAF is compatible with the D-LL 703 UV xx fibre optic systems, and the IR flame scanner DLX 703 IG/IS is compatible with the D-LL 703 IR xx fibre optic system.
The lens system receives the light from the flame and concentrates it through the fibre optic. The fibre
optics transmits the light directly onto the photo element inside the D-LX 700 flame scanner.

12. Mounting the D-LL 703/704 Fibre Optic System

To achieve optimal, selective flame monitoring, the correct position must be used to mount either the
welded flange of the D-LL 703 outer carrier tube (flexible system) or the D-LL 704 unit (rigid system).
The sensor must be able to view the flame at any load within the range of the burner. The flame
sensor should also be positioned such that the distance to the selected flame is as short as possible,
and the distance to neighbouring flames is as great as possible. The viewing angle of the flame
sensor should capture the lower third of the flame (the root). When selecting the correct position, it is
important to accommodate any normal flame migration, particularly for coal-fired burners. The viewing
axis should not cut through the flames of any neighbouring burners.
Two " internal threads have been provided on the fibre optic system, one as a purge air and another
as a cooling air connection. Purge air must be supplied to keep the lens free of possible particulate
accumulation. Therefore, the purge air should be connected to the inner carrier assembly. Only oilfree, filtered, compressed air should be used for purging.
The D-LL 703 has a connection for cooling air on the outer carrier tube. Enough cooling air should be
supplied to insure that the permissible ambient temperature for the fibre optics is not exceeded.
If the ambient temperatures are too high in installations using the D-LL 704 system, a guide tube
should be provided on site that can supply cooling air to the system.
The necessary flow rate, air volume, and pressure required for the cooling air supply must be
determined on a site-specific basis. These specifications depend on the ambient temperature, the
length of the fibre optic system supplied, the diameter of the guide tube at the burner, and the
temperature of the available cooling air. The length of the fibre optic section exposed to higher
ambient temperatures must also be taken into account. For example, when a section of the fibre optic
bundle is exposed to the heat from the main burner, less cooling air is required than if the entire length
of the fibre optics were exposed to the heat radiating from the main burner or heated combustion air.

When the ambient temperature inside the burner exceeds the permissible ambient
temperature of the fibre optic, sufficient cooling air must be supplied at all times. A
failure to meet these criteria can damage to the fibre optic conductors.

The welding flange on the outer guide tube of the D-LL 703 fibre optic system needs to be welded
near the flame in the burner assembly, aligned so it has a clear, precise view of the flame. If possible,
the combustion air supply (primary or secondary wind box) area should be used as the mounting
location.

To prevent damage to the fibre optic conductors when welding the mounting flange
into place, the internal support tube and fibre optics should be removed from the
outer carrier tube before welding.

D-LX 700

Page 17

The back end of the outer carrier assembly must be secured at the burner plate, either by directly
welding it into place or using the D-ZS 703 mounting flange. When the main flange is tightened, the
cutting ring will form a pressure-seal with the rigid portion of the guide tube.
After the outer carrier assembly is installed, the inner carrier assembly with the fibre optics can simply
be reinserted into the outer carrier and secured with the hex nut.

The carrier tube (both inner and outer) have specific, factory-determined length
tolerances and are to fit to each other during production. If these guide tubes are
switched during installation, the mounting rings may need to be repositioned.

After unscrewing the two M4 screws in the mounting ring, this ring can be moved. This ring must be
positioned so that the beginning of the fibre optic holder is held against the welded flange. The outer
guide tube should compress the inner carrier tube slightly to make sure that the holder for the fibre
optics is kept in front of the welded flange when the tube moves.
The D-ZS 703 can be used to secure the D-LL 703 fibre optic scanner to the burner plate. The
mounting flange D-ZS 702 or the D-ZS 704 welded flange can be used to secure the D-LL 704.
Once the internal carrier tube is installed, the mounting ring can be used to mount the flame scanner.
It is important to make sure the surface of the photo element does not become damaged, since the
housing does not directly protect it. Once the mounting ring is tightened into place, the setscrew
should also be tightened down.
When laying the flexible section of the D-LL 703 outer guide tube, the radius of any curves or bends
should not be less than 300 mm. The fibre optics can withstand curves with a radius as small as 190
mm without permanent damage, but the internal guide tube will not be able to slide properly for
insertion or later movement.

LE703-03-001

For application with tilting burners, these guidelines should also be fulfilled so that a large enough
radius for any bends is provided at all burner positions. The fibre optics should also be installed with
enough slack that the burners movements do not stretch the outer carrier tube.

(Fig. 9)

12.1

Laying the outer carrier tube of the D-LL 703

Installing the fibre optic system in tilting burner applications

When determining the installation position and angle of view of the D-LL 703 fibre optic system
relative to the flame (particularly for coal flames whose combustion may occur away from the main
burner), it is important that the monitored flame surface remain the same while the burner tilts. The
following drawing (fig. 17) shows an example of a changing viewing range of a tilting burner.
Generally, oil-fired burners are designed so that the fibre optic system can be mounted parallel to the
oil-atomisation nozzle in the tilting burner head. In this location, there are no significant changes to
the viewed flame range of the scanner system as the burner moves. For coal-fired burners, however,
the fibre optic system must usually be built into the wind box above the burner. This causes
significant changes in the portion of the flame being observed as the burner tilts.

13. Purge and Cooling Air

The amount of purge and cooling air required for the fibre optic system depends on the site conditions.
The purge air should protect the optical surfaces from dust deposits or contamination. A gas-fired
burner will require significantly less purge air than a coal-fired burner that creates a great deal of ash.

13.1

Purge and cooling air for the D-LL 703 fibre optic system

With purge airflow of 1.5 Nm3/h, the exit velocity at the optics is approximately 5 m/s. This
corresponds to an air pressure at the purge air inlet of approximately 250 mbar. This purge rate is
sufficient for average applications. At installations that have a higher chance of optics contamination,
a purge air volume of 3 Nm3/h (exit velocity of 10 m/s) is recommended. This corresponds to an inlet
pressure of about 500 mbar. Purge air must be oil- and dust-free.
The cooling air is needed to protect the system from overheating. For an air velocity of 5 m/s in the
outer carrier tube, a flow rate of approximately 12.5 Nm3/h is required. To achieve this flow rate, the
cooling air pressure at the inlet should be about 100 mbar. With higher ambient temperatures, such
as those in gas turbine applications, a cooling air volume of 25 Nm3/h or higher may be necessary.
This volume can be achieved with a cooling air inlet pressure of approximately 500 mbar.

LE703-05-001

The required air pressure at the inlet port for a given purge or cooling air volume can be determined
from the following graph (fig 18). Pressure drops through the supply lines must be taken into account.
The curves on this graph do not compensate for any backpressure from the combustion chamber.
The supply pressure may need to be increased to achieve the same flow rate and compensate for the
furnace pressures on site.

(Fig. 11)

Graph of purge and cooling air volumes for the D-LL 703

Page 20
13.2

D-LX 700

Purge and cooling air for the D-LL 704 fibre optic system

A flow volume of 7 Nm3/h will yield a flow velocity of approximately 10 m/s. This corresponds to an air
inlet pressure of approximately 50 mbar at the air connection on the fibre optic system. This flow rate
is sufficient for typical installations. If a higher level of particulate accumulation is expected, the airflow
should be increased to 15 Nm3/h (flow velocity of 20 m/s). This requires an inlet pressure of
approximately 250 mbar. Oil- and dust-free air must be used for the purge air supply.
If the fibre optic system must be cooled due to an ambient temperature higher than the tolerances of
the fibre optics, the airflow can be increased. For a flow velocity of 30 m/s, about 20 Nm3/h of air is
needed. This can be achieved if the air supply pressure at the air inlet port is approximately 600
mbar.
For higher ambient temperature applications, such as gas turbines, an additional guide tube should be
supplied on site to supply adequate cooling air to the fibre optic system.

LE703-06-001

The required air pressure at the inlet port for a given purge and cooling air volume can be determined
from the following graph. Pressure drops through the supply lines must be taken into account. The
curves on this graph do not compensate for any backpressure from the combustion chamber. The
supply pressure may need to be increased to achieve the same flow rate and compensate for the
furnace pressures on site.

Uninstalling the fibre optic connector of the D-LL 703

If the D-LL 703 needs to be replaced or inspected, the disassembly should be conducted as follows:
Warning: the fibre optic conductors may not be stretched, crushed, or twisted.
These types of stress can break or tear all or some of the glass fibres. During normal
handling, the metal hose will protect the fibres against mechanical damage.

LE703-07-001

1. Unscrew the hexagonal locking ring (item 6) and pull out the complete internal carrier tube
(fig. 20) from the outer guide tube (fig. 19). If the inner carrier tube does not come out
easily, do not apply excessive force. The removal can be obstructed by dirt accumulation in
the outer carrier tube, a bend with a radius of less than 300 mm, or a severe angle caused
by the current orientation of a tilting burner. In such cases, reposition the burner, makes
curves less sharp, or supply additional air to clear any built-in dirt. If the inner carrier tube
remains immobile, unscrew the locking ring (item 16) in the fibre optic holder (item 9, fig.
24). This frees the fibre optics so they are secured at only one point to the front piece so
they will not be damaged when the tube is pulled out.

Inner carrier tube D-IC 703

2. Once the inner carrier tube has been removed, the locking ring (item 16) should be
unscrewed so the fibre optic strands can move freely. The end pipe (item 3) can be
removed once the two 17 mm screws have been unscrewed from the inner carrier tube.
The fibre optics can then be carefully removed from the inner carrier tube.

LE703-09-001

3. The optics holder is screwed to fibre optics with an M6x0.75 mm thread. If the end cover on
the fibre optics comes loose while the optics holder is being unscrewed (Warning! The
glass fibres are extremely fragile and may break when unscrewing this piece), the end
cover should be carefully held still with a pair of forceps. The polished ends of the fibre
optics can then be carefully cleaned with a soft optics cloth or replaced with new fibres.

LE703-10-001

1. Before installing the fibre optics, check the glass strands for damage or dirt (up to three of the
glass fibres in the bundle may appear dark as a result of the process used to fuse the strands
at one end). To check the condition of the optic fibres, hold the flame end to a light source
and look at the other end of the fibre optic cables. If all 100 fibres appear as bright points of
light, the fibres are in good condition. If more than 3 of these 100 fibres are dark (indicating
broken filaments), the fibre optic bundle should not be used and needs to be replaced with
another bundle of the same length.

(Fig. 16)

2. Screw in the two M4x10 screws (item 17) and pull the fibre optic holder (item 9) out of the
front portion of the mounting flange. Make sure that neither of the o-rings (item 14) falls out

(Fig. 16)

3. Screw the locking nut (item 8) onto the threads of the inner carrier tube as far as it can go.
The complete scanner front face can then also be screwed onto the inner carrier tube as far
as possible.
4. Insert the entire length of the fibre optics with attached holder into the inner carrier tube, until
the neck of the optic holder rests against the threaded socket of the inner carrier tube. Screw
in the end pipe (item 3) and use two 17 mm screws to secure it.
5. Insert the short end cover of the fibre optics into the hole bored in the fibre optic holder (item
9) until it reaches the back and secure it with the setscrew (item 16). Make sure that the inner
o-rings (item 14) are lying inside the nut.
6. Turn the entire scanner front piece back onto the inner carrier tube until scanner side of the
fibre optic holder is flush with the rear edge of the scanner front piece. -- Warning! When
turning the scanner front flange piece, make sure the fibre optic bundle is never twisted. The
best method is to carefully clamp the inner carrier tube, hold the fibre optic holder and fibres in
one hand, and then turn the scanner front flange (item 10) with the other hand. After aligning
the scanner front flange, secure it with the locking nut (item 8). When fastening the locking
nut in place, make sure the holes in the front piece are aligned with the threaded holes in the
fibre optic holder. Secure the fibre optic holder with the two M4x10 screws.

7. After assembling the inner carrier tube, the fibre optics should again be checked for broken
strands. Hold the flame scanner side to a light source and look through the optics on the
other side. If multiple strands have been damaged due to improper assembly, the fibre optic
bundle must be replaced with a new one.
8. To fit the inner and outer carrier tubes together, remove both the M4x4 screws in the
adjustment ring (item 4). Insert the inner carrier tube into the outer tube until it touches the
end. Secure the adjustment ring approximately 5 mm from the cooling air flange (item 5).
Fasten the inner carrier tube with the hexagonal locking nut (item 6).
9. Finally, the flame scanner can be screwed onto the fibre optic system with the union ring (item
11). Make sure the o-ring (item 14) is inside the nut.

Disassembly of the fibre optic conductor of the D-LL 704

The fibre optic cable in the D-LL 704 system needs to be replaced to checked, the following
procedures should be followed:
Warning: the fibre optic conductors may not be stretched, crushed, or twisted.
These types of stress can break or tear all or some of the glass fibres. During normal
handling, the metal hose will protect the fibres against mechanical damage.

1. Unscrew the flange on the flame scanner from the fibre optic assembly and remove the
entire piece from the burner. To check the integrity of the fibre optics, hold the flame
scanner end to a light source and look into the front end of the fibre optic bundle. If about
all 100 fibres appear clear, the system is undamaged. If multiple fibres are dark, indicating
breaks in the fibres or dirt accumulation on the optic or polished ends, the bundle should be
completely disassembled and either cleaned or replaced, as needed.
2. Loosen the M3x4 mm screws (item 16) in the fibre optic holder (item 9) so that the fibres lie
loose in the hole.

LE703-13-001

3. Unscrew the two M4x10 mm screws (item 17) from the front flange (item 10) and remove
the fibre optic cable holder (item 9).

4. Unscrew the two 17 mm screws in the forward section of the tube (item 3) and carefully pull
off the forward tube section and fibre optic bundle.

LE703-14-001

5. Unscrew the threaded fitting (item 2) from the forward section of the tube (item 3) and
remove the fibre optic holder (item 12). Unscrew the optics holder from the fibre optic
bundle. Ensure that the threads in the end cap do not come loose (Warning! be careful not
to break some or all of the glass fibres). If necessary, gently hold the end cap still with a
pair of forceps. The fibre optic bundle can then be cleaned or replaced, as needed.

Mounting the fibre optic conductor of the D-LL 704

1. With a 27 mm wrench, loosen the outer locking ring (item 8) and turn it with the complete
forward mounting flange (item 10) to the end of the threads.
2. Screw the optics holder (item 12) onto the threads of the long end cap for the fibre optic
bundle. Push the optics holder into the forward section (item 3) of the tube and secure it with
the setscrew (item 2).
3. Slide the partially mounted fibre optic bundle in through the front of the guide tube (item 1) and
then secure the forward section of the tube with two 17 mm screws. About 20 mm ( in.) of
the fibre optic bundle should protrude from the forward section (see fig. 27).
4. Place the fibre optic holder (item 14) over the end cap of the fibre optics and secure it with the
setscrew (item 16). Make sure that the forward o-ring (item 14) is sitting properly inside the
nut.

5. Screw the completely assembled forward section onto the guide tube threads until the front
edge of the fibre optic holder is aligned with the rear edge of the forward flange assembly (see
fig. 28). Warning! When turning the forward flange assembly, make sure that the fibre optic
bundle is never twisted. The recommended method is to lightly clamp the guide tube, hold the
fibre optic holder with one hand, and use the other hand to gently turn the forward flange
assembly (item 10) until the pieces are aligned as described above. Once all pieces are in
place, secure the position of the forward flange by tightening the locking ring (item 8). Make
sure that the holes in the fibre optic holder and the forward flange piece are aligned, then
fasten them with the two M4x10 mm screws.
6. After assembly is completed, the fibre optic bundle should again be checked for damage.
Hold the flame scanner side to a light source and look at the optics on the other end to
observe the fibres. If multiple fibres are broken and appear dark from improper handling when
mounting the bundle, the process must be repeated with a new fibre optic bundle. If the fibres
appear bright and undamaged, the system can be reinstalled on the burner and the flame
scanner screwed into place. Make sure that the o-ring (item 14) is seated properly when
reinstalling.
