Important information
VG3.290 DP and VG3.360 DP burners are
designed for the low-pollutant combustion
of natural gas and propane gas. The
design and function of the burners meet
standard EN 676. They are suitable for use
with all heat generators complying with
standard EN 303 or for use by hot air
generators complying with standard DIN
4794 or DIN 30697 within their respective
performance range. Any other type of
application requires the approval of ELCO.
Installation, start-up and maintenance
must only be carried out by authorised
specialists and all applicable guidelines
and regulations must be complied with.
Burner description
VG3.290 DP and VG3.360 DP burners are
two-stage fully automatic monoblock
devices. The special design of the
combustion head enables combustion with
low levels of nitrogen oxide and increased
output. Class 3 type-approval in
accordance with EN676 certifies that the
lowest emission values have been
achieved and means that the national
environmental regulations have been met
AT: KFA 1995, FAV 1997
CH: LRV 2005
DE: 1.BImSChV
Emissions values may differ, depending on
combustion chamber dimensions,
combustion chamber load and the firing
system (three-pass boilers, boilers with
reverse firing). For specifying warranty
values, the conditions for the measuring
equipment, tolerances and humidity must
be observed.
Packaging
The burner is supplied packaged in three
boxes on a pallet:
- Burner housing with operating
instructions, circuit diagram and spare
parts list.
- Burner head with flange seal and
securing screws.
- Compact gas train with integrated filter
The following standards should be
observed in order to ensure safe,
environmentally sound and energy-
efficient operation:
EN 226
Connection of fuel oil and forced-draught
gas burners to a heat generator
EN 60335-1, -2-102
Specification for safety of household and
similar electrical appliances, particular
requirements for gas burning appliances
Gas lines
When installing the gas lines and trains,
the general directives and guidelines, as
well as the following national regulations,
must be observed:
CH: - G1 instruction text from SSIGE
- EKAS form no. 1942,
liquefied gas directive, part 2
- Cantonal authority guidelines
(e.g. directives for the pilot valve)
DE: - DVGW-TVR/TRGI
Installation location
The burner must not be used in rooms with
aggressive vapours (e.g. hair spray,
tetrachloroethylene, carbon tetrachloride),
high levels of dust or high air humidity (e.g.
laundry rooms).
If no connection to an air exhaust system is
provided for the air supply, there must be a
supply air inlet measuring:
DE: up to 50 kW: 150 cm
2
per additional kW: : + 2.0 cm
2
CH: QF [kW] x 6= ...cm
2
; but at least

Operation
Safety function
Description of the function
A pre-ventilation time of 24 seconds
begins when first powering up, after a
power cut or a lockout, after the gas
supply has been cut or after a shutdown
for 24 hours.
During the pre-ventilation time
- the air pressure is monitored
- a check is made for the presence of
any abnormal flame signals.
At the end of the pre-ventilation time
- the ignition is switched on
- the main and safety solenoid valves
are opened.
- burner start-up
Monitoring
The flame is monitored by an ionisation
probe. The probe is fitted with insulation
to the gas head and is routed through
the turbulator into the flame zone. The
probe must not have any electrical
contact with earthed parts. The burner
switches to malfunction if a short circuit
occurs between the probe and the
burner earth. During burner operation,
an ionised zone is produced in the gas
flame through which a rectified current
flows from the probe to the burner tip.
The ionisation current must be at least
A.
Safety functions
- If no flame is produced when the
burner is started (gas release), the
burner is switched off at the end of the
safety time which lasts no more than
3 seconds and the gas valve closes.
- If the flame is lost during operation, the
gas supply is cut within a second. A
new start-up sequence is activated. If
the burner starts, the operating cycle
starts running. Otherwise a lockout
occurs.
- If there is an air failure during pre-
ventilation or operation, a lockout
occurs.
- If there is a gas failure, the burner
either stops or will not start. As soon
as sufficient gas pressure is available
again, the burner restarts.
During the regulator shutdown
- The control thermostat interrupts the
heat request.
- The gas valves close
- The flame goes out
- The blower motor stops
- The burner is ready for operation
Compact train
CH note
In accordance with SSIGE instructions,
it is compulsory to install a gas safety
valve (mark 1) in the pipe

Operation
TCG 5xx control unit
The TCG 5xx control and safety unit
controls and monitors the forced draught
burner. The microprocessor-controlled
program sequence ensures maximum
stability of time periods, regardless of
fluctuations in the power supply voltage
or the ambient temperature. The
automatic combustion control unit is
designed to cope with brownouts.
Whenever the supply voltage drops
below its rated minimum level (< 185V),
the control unit shuts down - even in the
absence of a malfunction signal. The
control unit switches itself back on again
once the voltage has returned to normal
levels (> 195V).

Pre-setting without flame
Setting is carried out in 2 phases:
- pre-adjustment without flame
- setting the flame, to fine tune the
settings based on the combustion
results
When the burner is switched on, the
control unit displays the screen below.
Important
At this point, no setting position for the
servomotor has been defined, therefore
the burner cannot be started under
these conditions.
Modifying a settings value for the servomotor position:
- To modify the value of a position, move the cursor to the
corresponding location with the or key.
- Select the value to be modified using the key, the
selected value will flash.
- Increase or decrease the value in increments of 0.1° by
repeatedly pressing or . For large modifications, press
and hold the or key the value will scroll quickly up or
down.
- Confirm the new value using the key. The value stops
flashing.
The control unit then opens the
settings mode. The screen
displays the factory pre-
settings for the different
positions of the air flap (here for
example: for a VG3.290 DP).
The following positions for the
air flap are presented:
- ignition position (when the
menu is opened, the curser
goes to this position)
- the position of the air flap at
minimum pressure
- the position of the air flap at
maximum pressure

Pre-setting without flame
General advice before starting the burner
End of presetting menu without flame
When all the positions of the servomotor have been determined according to the required
settings, it is then possible to move on to the next section for commissioning - "Setting the flame".
To do this, place the cursor in the lower part of the screen on the symbol and confirm by
pressing the key.
If it is necessary to quit the menu without saving the pre-settings, position the cursor on the
symbol and confirm with the key.
Optimising combustion values
Optimum combustion values can be
achieved by adjusting the position of the
turbulator (dimension Y) if necessary.
Doing this can have an effect on starting
characteristics, pulsation and
combustion values. Any reduction in
dimension Y increases the CO
2
value.
However, starting characteristics
become harsher.
Compensate for the change in airflow if
necessary by adjusting the air flap
position.
Precautions: To avoid condensation,
observe the minimum required flue
gas temperature specified by the
boiler manufacturer and comply with
the requirements for flue gas ducts.
Risk of deflagration
Continuously check CO, CO
2
and soot emissions when
adjusting. Optimise
combustion values if CO is
present. The CO level must
not exceed 50 ppm.
Function check
Flame monitoring must be checked for
safety as part of initial commissioning
and also after servicing or if the system
has been out of operation for any
significant period of time.
- Starting attempt with gas valve closed:
once the safety time has elapsed, the
control and safety unit should indicate
a lack of gas or switch to malfunction
mode.
- Starting with the air pressure switch
closed:
after an 8-second test period, the
burner switches to malfunction mode.
- Starting attempt with air pressure
switch open:
after a 60-second waiting period, the
control and safety unit locks.
- Starting attempt with brief opening of
the air pressure switch during pre-
ventilation:
the control and safety unit restarts the
pre-ventilation programme (air
pressure detected again within
60 seconds) ; otherwise a lockout
occurs.

Commissioning
Setting the flame
- If the boiler heating request
is not present, the boiler
remains on standby.
In this case, it is still possible to
return to the previous setting
menu "Pre-setting without
flame". To do this, position the
cursor on the symbol and
confirm with the key.
- If a boiler heating request is
present (T1-T2 contact
closed), the burner starts.
The air flap is opened to move
to the pre-ventilation position.
Air pressure switch test
Pre-ventilation
The air flap switches to the
ignition/pre-ignition position.
The fuel valve opens.
Awaiting flame signal
If no flame is detected at the
end of the safety time, the
control unit switches to
malfunction mode.
If the flame is detected
Flame stabilisation
The control unit awaits the
regulation authorisation.

Commissioning
Setting the flame
Setting the minimum pressure
If the flame has been detected and stabilised, the control unit sets the burner to minimum power
as soon as it receives the regulation authorisation.
- Check the combustion values (CO, CO
2
, soot test). If necessary, adjust screw N on the valve
(see page16).
- Read the ionisation current value.
- Read the gas flow rate on the gas counter.
Modification of the air flow via the "manual output control"
The "manual output control" function allows the burner output to be modified.
To do this, position the cursor on the corresponding line on the display and confirm with the
key. It is then possible to adjust the burner output upwards or downwards using the , keys.
The servomotor reacts in real time. This is why the combustion values must be continuously
monitored.
Setting the maximum output
Slowly increase the burner to the maximum output using the "manual power control" function. At
this point, adjust the gas flow using the regulator V on the gas train.
The preset limit values for the minimum output and the maximum output cannot be exceeded. If
necessary, exit the "manual output control" function again using the key and modify the limit
value for the maximum or minimum output.
Definitive limitation of the maximum output position
Limit the maximum opening of the air flap according to the position determined for the maximum
output. In this example, the new position determined for the maximum output is below the value
set manually. Using the "manual output control" function, it is now possible to reduce the burner
output, but this cannot be set above the new maximum position, which here is 50°.
Definitive limitation of the minimum output position
Using the "manual output control" function, reduce the burner output to the minimum output. If
necessary, limit the minimum output position, in the same way as for the maximum output.
Specific function: ignition checking
If the ignition position has been modified, it is possible to carry out a new burner start-up to check
the new ignition position, without having to quit the settings menu.
To do this, after modifying the ignition position, position the cursor on the symbol, and initiate
the new start-up using the key.
