• Connect and disconnect the unit only after switching off the power supply
• Avoid exposing the unit to dripping water
• Ventilation and the lowest temperature ensure the longest life of the control Electrical Installation..
• Before starting the system check cables carefully BROMIC TUNGSTEN 300 Smart Heat Gas Heater for incorrect installation..

Operation

At every start, the control unit proceeds to a self-check of its components. During the pre-purge or waiting time (TW, the internal circuit makes a test of the flame signal amplifier. Extraneous light or a fault in the amplifier will result in the simulation of a flame, which will prevent the control from starting. In this way, the safety time (TS) begins.
