Instructions for Initial Operation VR / VRM 8e + 14e , VRK / VRKM 8e + 14e
General remarks :
For the initial commissioning, the linkage between the
electric servomotor and the Compound Regulator must Servomotor
be dismantled and the locking lever must point to the op
erator’s side. In this locking lever limit position, a notch
holds the Compound Regulator in the positions 1, 2, 3 ...
10 and the positions in between and makes sure that the
positions can be adjusted manually. Locking Lever
If a flexible control cable is to be mounted between a
driven lever of the Compound Regulator and a damper Turning Slider
intended for metering the primary air or fuel gas volume Bush I
flow (in dual fuel plants) etc., it ought to be mounted in
accordance with Sheet 718311152.

The Compound Regulator must be in position 1. Setting
is made with closed rotary valve (slot of bushing Ι verti

Instructions for Initial Operation
Set the combustion air volume flow
for the minimum burner output
The Compound Regulator must be in position 1.
The slot in the air damper axle indicates:
if situated in direction of flow = damper fully open
if situated crosswise to flow direction = damper closed
The coarse adjustment is made on lever ΙV of the air
damper

Loosen the hexagon nut of the pivot head on lever ΙV XI
If the distance between linkage A and damper axle is
reduced = more volume flow, IV
reduced = more volume flow Damper No. 2
Tighten the hexagon nut.
The final adjustment has to be made by changing the Damper for combustion air
cam strip position. The direction of rotation of the screws
XΙ for changing the cam strip position has to be deter
mined according to the air damper movement for more or Illustration 3: Example of arrangement

Setting is made by means of screw VΙΙ of the rotary valve.
Dismount the hexagon protective cap VΙΙΙ and loosen
the hexagon nut ΙX (SW 16).
Turning the screw VΙΙ (SW 6)
clockwise = more flow;
counter−clockwise = less flow.

From Compound Regulator position 1 to position 10, the
rotary valve proportions the fuel oil flow approx. linearly.

Oil Compound Regulator
with one or two cam strips
VR / VRM 8e + 14e , VRK / VRKM 8e + 14e
Set the combustion air volume flow
for the rated burner output and the Compound Regulator
positions 2 ... 9
The Compound Regulator must be in Position 10.
Setting is made by changing the cam strip position. The
direction of rotation of the screws XΙ for changing the
cam strip position has to be determined according to the
air damper movement such as made for the final adjust
ment of the combustion air for the minimum burner
output.
The cam strip has then to be set so to assure that the air
volume flow allowing optimum combustion is added to
the fuel in each Compound Regulator position.
Set the second cam strip (if provided)
for the adjustment of a control element with damper for
metering the fuel gas or primary air etc.
The procedure of cam strip adjustment is the same as for
the first cam strip. Particular attention must be paid to the
direction of rotation of the metering damper − see exam
ple given in Illustration 3.
Metering the volume flow of
fuel gas (in dual fuel plants) : in relation to the
combustion air volume flow already set for fuel oil,
and the combustion values,
primary air : so as to produce and maintain a steady
flame and a good fuel/air ratio especially in the low fire
range.
Maintenance:
Grease the bearing point (ball type lubricators XII) with a
good grade of heat−resistant ball bearing grease at least
three times a year. At the same time, also clean and re
grease the cam strips. The ball bearing greases intended
for the ball bearings of the burner or burner motors can
be used as lubricant.
