7. TROUBLE SHOOTING
ERROR TYPES AND SAFE SHUTDOWN

If a critical error related to safety operation (such as a loss of flame, opening of the air flow switch during the
ignition trial and run sequence) is detected, the DBC2000 instantly goes into lock-out and goes to pre-purge status.
If a non critical error is detected (such as opening of the air flow switch during post-purge), DBC2000 holds the
sequence during the lock-out time, allowing time for the error to rectify, and then goes into lock- out.
For all types of errors, the status LEDs indicate the status information to the operator.
Fig. 6 to Fig. 13 show the sequence of DBC2000 in case of some error. And Table 8 shows the status of LEDs for
each error.

The product handbook (ENS7003) shows the different scenarios for possible failures.

 APPENDIX: Calculations for VPS
General Example 2
The maximum allowable leak-rate (according EN676 and
EN746-2) is 0,1% of the maximum burner capacity. The test
time necessary to detect a failing valve is a function of:
- Inlet pressure
- Test volume
- Burner capacity
When the volume between two safety valves is bigger it takes
more time (in case of a leaking valve) to change the status of
the gas pressure switch (GPS).
The switching point of the GPS is set to 50% of the maximum NOTE: to allow a 3-valve configuration, an external SPDT
inlet pressure. The test period Tp is calculated from the relay needs to be added, when used incombination with VPS.
inletpressure Pi, the test volume Vp (see Table a.) and See schematic drawing below.
maximum burner capacity Qm. In a formula:

2 x Pi x Vp
Tp = --------------- [s]
Qm

Pi = inlet pressure [mbar]

3
Vp = test volume, see also Table a [dm ]
3
Qm = burner capacity [dm /h]
Tp = test time [s]

Important
The total volume Vp has to be calculated with all volumes
between the tested valves: internal volumes of valves and all
pipes.

Calculation examples Calculation of the minimum test time (per valve) in a DN80
Example 1 flanged pipe train, where a 1” bypass valve is used.
Pi = 150 mbar
3
Qm = 100 dm /h
Gas valves used: DN80 size with 1 meter pipe (L1).
Bypass valve: 1” valve with 0.5 meter pipe (L2).
To be calculated: Tp [s]
Calculation of the minimum test time (per valve) in a 2” Calculation:
threaded pipe train. From Table a. :
3
Pi = 150 mbar DN80 @ L1=1m  Vp1 = 6.9 dm
Qm = 60 dm /h
3 1” @ L2=0.5m  Vp2 = 0.44 dm3
Gas valves used: 2” size with 0.5 meter pipe. There is only 1” bypass valve, that reduces the total volume
3
To be calculated: Tp [s] by 0.5x the volume @ L=0m  Vp3 = 0.19 dm
Calculation: 3
From Table a. : Vp = Vp1 + Vp2 – (0.5 x Vp3) = 7.245 dm
3
2“ @ L=0.5m  Vp = 2.3 dm
2 x 150 x 7.15
2 x 150 x 2.3 Tp = ------------------ [s]
Tp = ---------------- [s] 100
60
Using the formula above, the minimum test time Tp = 21.735s
Using the formula above, the minimum test time Tp = 11.5s The DBC2000E2 must be set to 25s test time (see page 11).
The DBC2000E2 must be set to 15s test time (see page 11).

Volumes in dm3 for gas valves like Honeywell VE-series (Vp) with pipe length L (including V1 and V2). For combi blocks, like
VQ-M series and direct linked valves, use the values shown under L=0m.

Flanged connections: sizes in DN
If L = 0m it means that valves are directly linked without pipe connections. Also applicable for combi-blocks (VQ-M series).
