Gas fired igniter ZT0
Functional characteristics and structure
Status: 11-2018
- 23 -
The outer tube (6) is screwed to the power head (1) and can be
removed or depending on the position of the air supply pipe can be
turned by 90°.
The gas port can be on the left or right. The unused opening is
sealed off by a sealing screw, into which a gas pressure testing
nipple (3) is screwed.
The final electrode support ring (10) is fastened on the end of the
gas tube (9).
The flame rod (13) and the ignition electrode (12) are extended by
connecting rods (8). These connecting rods are guided through the
floor of the transformer housing and are supported around every
300 mm by intermediate support rings (7).

Flame monitoring
The flame is monitored by the flame rod, which must immerse in
the direction of the flame. This flame rod will be supplied with
changing voltages through the external flame monitor or the
automatic burner control system. The burning flame creates an
electrically conductive connection to the igniter earth and at the
same time acts as a rectifier for the ionisation current. This DC
signal will be evaluated through the external units.

5.3.1 Safety time
The safety time is the response time of the external flame monitor
or the automatic burner control system as the reaction to a failure
of the flame signal (flame sensor current) and as a result of that the
clearing switch of the terminals for the „flame-on“ signal. The
standard safety time is ≤ 1 s, a modification is not possible.
