Part 2 Service

For operation characteristics, maintenance, and service procedures, refer to

manufacturer's literature provided with burner.

____________________________________________

The standard RE6850 burner is equipped with a Honeywell RM7895 microprocessor

based burner control, employing a flame rectification system of flame detection. Burner
construction for special codes and/or insurance   requirements   such  as   Factory  Mutual
or Industrial Risk Insurers (IRI) may require alternate controls.  A safe start and run control
sequence is provided with instantaneous response to presence or loss of flame signal.
Flame failure response time is 3-seconds; Pilot Flame Establishing Period (PFEP) is field
selectable from 4 or 10-seconds. The RM7895 features a pre-purge time (30-seconds for
ON-OFF, 90-seconds for 2-Step or Modulating burners), and a plug-in amplifier. An airflow
circuit is also field selectable to allow either lockout or recycle upon loss of airflow. Five
LED’s (light emitting diodes) are provided to display sequence information. Refer to the
Honeywell RM7895 literature for detailed operating information, configuration requirements,
testing, and service.

INITIATE SEQUENCE 

("POWER" LED is lit)

The RM7895 enters the 

INITIATE

sequence when it is powered. The 

INITIATE

sequence lasts for ten seconds unless the voltage or frequency tolerances are not met
(refer to Honeywell RM7895 literature for criteria). When tolerances are met, the 

INITIATE

sequence will restart. If the conditions not corrected and the hold condition exists for four
minutes, the RM7895 will lock-out. Causes for hold conditions in the 

INITIATE

sequence

are in the Honeywell RM7895 literature.

STANDBY

("POWER" LED is lit).

The RM7895 is idle in this state of sequencing. When the burner switch, limits, operating

limit controls, and all microprocessor monitored circuits are in the correct state for the
RM7895 to continue, sequencing will advance to PREPURGE.

PREPURGE

("POWER" LED is lit).

The RM7895 in this application features a prepurge time of 30-seconds for ON-OFF,

90-seconds for 2-Step or Modulating burners.

Once the 

STANDBY

sequence has a "

CALL FOR HEAT

" input, normal start-up

prepurge will be initiated.

A. The blower motor is powered to start the prepurge sequence.
B. The airflow interlock switch must close in ten seconds of prepurge or within the 

specified purge card timing. Otherwise a recycle to the beginning of prepurge 
or lockout will occur, depending on how the airflow switch selectable jumper is 
configured. Refer to Honeywell  RM7895 literature for configuration requirements.

IGNITION TRIAL

1. PILOT FLAME ESTABLISHING PERIOD (PFEP)

A. The pilot valve and spark generator are energized.
B. Flame must be proven by the end of the 4 or 10-second PFEP to allow the sequence

to continue. If flame is not proven by the end of PFEP, a safety shutdown  occurs.

2. MAIN FLAME ESTABLISHING PERIOD (MFEP)

After the ignition trials, and with the presence of flame, the main valve is energized.

("MAIN" LED will be lit.) If a flame-out occurs, the RM7895 will lockout or recycle within
3-seconds, depending on "jumper" configuration. Refer to Honeywell literature for proper
configuration. 

The RM7895 is now in 

RUN

mode and will remain in run mode until the controller input

opens, indicating that the call for heat has been satisfied or a limit has opened. Once  this
occurs the RM7895 will sequence back to the 

STANDBY

mode.

Notes:

1. During 

STANDBY

and during RM7895  sequencing the "

POWER

"  LED will 

blink every four seconds. This is normal.

2. The "

ALARM

" LED will be lit in the event of  any flame failure. 

3. To maintain proper operation of this device it 

MUST

be electrically grounded. 

Refer to Honeywell RM7895 literature for criteria.

____________________________________________

Special equipment, either factory or contractor installed, may cause variation in the

procedures and descriptions given in this manual.

Consult the OEM's manual to identify the differences in the information.

____________________________________________

The major difference for the CUL version of the RE6700B / RE6850 / RE6850B  is the French
/ English specification plate and the firing valve for the pilot line.
