Valve Proving System for

automatic Shutoff Valves LDU11...

The LDU11... valve proving system is designed for use with shutoff valves in con-

nection with gas burners and gas appliances. In the event of inadmissible leakage,

the system prevents the burner from starting up.

The LDU11... system conforms to the requirements of EN1643 covering automatic

shutoff valves for use with gas burners and gas appliances to EN161.

The LDU11... and this Data Sheet are intended for use by OEMs which integrate the

valve proving system in their products.

Use

The LDU11... is designed for automatic gas valve proving (leakage test) based on the

pressure proving principle. It is for use on gas-fired combustion plant with or without vent

pipe to atmosphere. In the case of plants with no vent pipe where EN standards apply,

the notes given in «Connection examples without vent pipe to atmosphere» must be

observed.

Used in connection with 1 or 2 commercially available pressure switches, valve proving is

automatically initiated with every burner startup, either

- prior to burner startup

- during the prepurge time if it lasts a minimum of 60 seconds

- immediately after a controlled shutdown, or

- on completion of the burner control’s control sequence, e.g. at the end of the

postpurge time

The valve proving test is based on the 2-stage pressure proving principle:

1. The valve on the mains side is tested by evacuating the test space and by monitoring

the atmospheric pressure in it.

2. The valve on the burner side is checked by pressurizing the test space and by moni-

toring the gas pressure.

If the pressure increases excessively during the first test phase called «Test1», or de-

creases excessively during the second test phase called «Test2», the LDU11.... will in-

hibit burner startup and initiate lockout. In that case, the lockout reset button will light up

to indicate the fault. Remote indication of the fault is also possible. A program indicator,

which stops whenever a fault occurs, indicates which of the valves is leaking. The

LDU11... can be reset either on the unit itself or via an electric remote reset facility.

Warning notes

To avoid injury to persons, damage to property or the environment, the following

warning notes must be observed.

Do not open, interfere with or modify the control unit.

All activities (mounting, installation and service work, etc.) must be carried out by

qualified staff

Before making any wiring changes in the connection area, completely isolate the

plant from mains supply (all-polar disconnection). Ensure that the plant cannot be in-

advertently switched on again and that it is indeed dead. If not observed, there is a

risk of electric shock hazard

Ensure protection against electric shock hazard by providing adequate protection for

the valve proving system’s connection terminals

Each time work has been carried out (mounting, installation, service work, etc.),

check to ensure that wiring is in an orderly state

Press the lockout reset button only manually (applying a force of no more than 10 N)

without using any tools or pointed objects

Do not press the lockout reset button on the unit for more than 10 seconds since

longer presses will destroy the lockout relay

Fall or shock can adversely affect the safety functions. Do not put such units into

operation, even if they do not exhibit any damage

Mounting notes

Ensure that the relevant national safety regulations are complied with

Life cycle

LDU11... has a designed lifetime* of 250,000 burner startup cycles which, under normal

operating conditions in heating mode, correspond to approx. 10 years of usage (starting

from the production date given on the type field). This lifetime is based on the endurance

tests specified in standard EN298 and the table containing the relevant test documenta-

tion as published by the European Association of Component Manufacturers (Afecor)

(www.afecor.org).

The designed lifetime is based on use of the LDU11... according to the manufacturer’s

Data Sheet. After reaching the designed lifetime in terms of the number of burner startup

cycles, or the respective time of usage, the LDU11... is to be replaced by authorized

personnel.

* The designed lifetime is not the warranty time specified in the Terms of Delivery

Disposal notes

The unit contains electric and electronic components and must not be disposed of to-

gether with domestic waste. Local and currently valid legislation must be complied with.

Function

During the first phase of the valve proving test called «Test1», atmospheric pressure

must exist in the length of pipe between the valves to be tested. In plants with a vent pipe

to atmosphere, atmospheric pressure is available if the valve proving test is made prior to

or during the prepurge time. In plants without vent pipe, atmospheric pressure is made

available as the valve proving system opens the valve on the burner side during evacuat-

ing the test space (t4). If the valve proving test LDU11... is performed after burner opera-

tion, the valve on the burner side after the controlled shutdown can be kept open until

evacuating the test space (t4) has elapsed, thus lowering the pressure in the test space

and making certain its gas content is burnt off in the combustion chamber during the

postpurge time. Prerequisite for this procedure is a suitable control program of the burner

control as provided by burner controls type LFE..., LFL..., LGK... or LEC...

The test space is closed off after evacuation. During the first test phase «Test1», which

then follows, the LDU11... checks with the pressure switch if the atmospheric pressure in

the test space is maintained. If the valve on the mains side is leaking, causing the pres-

sure to rise above the switching point of the pressure switch, the LDU11... will trigger an

alarm and initiate lockout. The program indicator then stops to indicate «Test1».

If the pressure does not increase because the valve closes correctly, the LDU11... con-

tinues its program with the second test phase «Test2». For that purpose, the valve on the

mains side is opened during filling the test space (t3) so that the test space is pressurized

(«filling» the test space). During the second test phase – if the valve on the burner side is

leaking – this pressure must not fall below the switching point of the pressure switch. If it

does, the LDU11... will initiate lockout also, thus preventing the burner from starting up.

On successful completion of the second test phase, the LDU11... closes the internal

control loop between terminals 3 and 6 (circuit path: terminal 3 - contact (ar2) - terminals

4 and 5 - contact III - terminal 6). This control loop is normally included in the burner con-

trol’s start control loop.

After the control loop has been closed, the programming mechanism of the LDU11...

returns to its start position to switch itself off. During these so-called idle steps, the posi-

tions of the programming mechanism’s control contacts remain unchanged.

Program and lockout indicator

In the event of lockout, the programming mechanism stops and thus the position indicator

fitted to the spindle of the mechanism. The symbol that stops above the reading mark

indicates the test phase during which lockout occurred and also gives the number of

programming steps completed from the start of this test phase (1 step = 2.5 seconds).

►Start position = operating position

In plants without vent valve:

Evacuation of test space by opening the valve on the burner side

Test1 «Test1» with atmospheric pressure (valve proving test on the mains side)

Filling the test space by opening the valve on the mains side

Test2 «Test2» with gas pressure (valve proving test on the burner side)

I I I Idle steps until programming mechanism switches itself off

►Operating position = start position for the next valve proving test

In the event of lockout, all terminals receiving voltage from the valve proving system

LDU11... will be deenergized, except terminal 13, which is used for lockout indication.

After a reset, the programming mechanism automatically returns to its start position to

immediately program a new valve proving test.

Note!

Do not press the reset button for more than 10 seconds.

A power failure prior to evacuating the test space does not cause the control sequence to

change.

If a power failure occurs after the evacuation, the valve proving test will not be continued

when power is restored, but the programming mechanism first returns to its start position

and then performs the complete valve proving test.
