U2 COMBINATION VIEWING HEAD AND SIGNAL PROCESSORS

Auto Filter

Routine that automatically determines the optimum filter for 

the SSUV and IR sensors. This routine should only be done 

after the AUTO GAIN routine.

NOTE: While using the Auto Gain and Auto Filter modes, 

the system will be adjusting to the firing condi-

tions at the time of implementation. This condi-

tion should be carefully selected to ensure 

discrimination through complete load changes 

from minimum to maximum and from cold 

burner/boiler startup to hot burner/boiler startup.

Default

Tapping will access the file default and factory default sub 

menus.

File Default

Changes the settings of the current file being adjusted (see 

FILE menu).

Factory Default

Changes all settings to factory default settings. 

Communications, security, and all file settings will have to be 

reset so only initiate factory defaults when absolutely 

necessary.

TROUBLESHOOTING

“9999” on Display

“9999” on the U2 display can indicate saturation of the UVSS 

and/or IR sensor in addition to the PANEL Time Out sub-menu 

being accessed. First check to see if the PANEL Time Out 

sub-menu has been accessed and exit the menu as described 

in the Panel section of this document. If the problem still 

persists, then sensor saturation is likely. Decrease the gain for 

UVSS and/or IR sensor to 0, then gradually increase the gain 

level(s) to a suitable level to prevent saturation. In rare cases, 

an orifice disk may be required. Refer to the ACCESSORIES 

section of this document for part numbers.

If saturation of the IR or SSUV sensor persists for greater than 

1 second, the flame Relay will open, and the U2 will lock out 

with an error code: code 1 for SSUV saturation and code 8 for 

IR saturation. When a lockout occurs, the U2 must be reset to 

continue normal operation. This is accomplished by pressing 

the enter key twice at the front panel.

Lockout Message

If a lockout message appears on the screen, the user has 

attempted to access the U2 menus while the PANEL Lock 

feature is enabled. The Lock feature requires a special 4-digit 

code for access and modification, which is available from the 

factory. If the password is forgotten or lost, the user must 

contact the factory for assistance with unlocking the panel. 

Refer to the Panel section of this manual and/or contact the 

factory for assistance.

“Bad” Message

If the display shows “Bad” upon entering the access code for 

the PANEL Lock feature, it means the access code that was 

just entered is incorrect. Refer to the Panel section of this 

manual for further details.

NOTE: Refer to “Grounding and Shielding” on page 3 for 

further troubleshooting help in regards to proper 

grounding and shielding techniques.

COMMUNICATING THROUGH 

MODBUS

Modbus RTU communication protocol allows the U2 to 

communicate with any process controllers or human-Interface 

host computers that support this protocol. When 

communicating through Modbus, use the following register 

map to access and control the U2:

— 9600 baud (default)

— 8 data bits

— no parity (default)

— 1 stop bit

Baud, parity, and address are all changeable via the U2 

interface in the “Comms” menu. The address is set to 0 by 

default and must be changed in order to communicate with the 

unit. When communicating with more than one unit ensure 

that no two units share the same address.

A graphical user interface is available for remote configuration 

and monitoring through Modbus called Flame Tools. Refer to 

Table 4 and 5 for the Modbus registers map.

Comms

Tapping COMMS on the U2 menu will access the 

communications sub menus including address, baud, parity, 

IRDA, RS485, and current output. 

Address

Address for modbus communication (0-247). When 

communicating with more than one unit ensure that no two 

units share the same address. The default address is 0 so it 

must be changed before modbus communication can take 

place. For applications where large quantities of U2 are used, 

it is recommended to start with address 11 for burner #1, 21 

for burner #2 and so on. Refer to Fig. 3. Doing so will help 

alleviate potential communication issues when adding new or 

replacing existing U2 models, which have zero (0) as the 

default address. Two units with a 0 address could seize 

communications.

Baud

Speed of modbus communications (2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 

38400, 57600, or 115200). The default baud is 9600.

Parity

Modbus checking method (NONE, ODD, or EVEN). The 

default parity is NONE.
