SR3 - VE3 - BV3 - GV2
CONTROL BOXES DESCRIPTION
The SR3 - VE3 - BV3 - GV2 safety devices are suitable to
control forced draught gas burners for civil and industrial
CONTROL BOXES FOR FORCED applications.
DRAUGHT GAS BURNERS, WITH The BV3 control is used for fast boilers in which hot water
POWER UP TO 120KW. (or steam) taking has to occur within short times, which
cannot be granted by using the SR3 and VE3 devices.
The GV2 control box is used for small boilers in which a
longer safety time is generally allowed.
According to TÜV Bayern, Monaco, the SR3 control is in
compliance with the German regulation DIN 4788, part 3,
for power up to 120KW. It also obtained the DIN-DVGW
89.11fBN approval, now expired and not renewable.
The “Laboratorio di Macchine e Termotecnica del Centro
Studi ed Esperienze” in Rome, Capannelle, tested the SR3
control for power up to 93KW, which obtained the
certification no. 3704/81/77/3A and the approval of the
Ministry of the Interior for fire prevention (circulars no. 68
and no. 42).

FLAME CONTROL
A transformer having one primary and two secondary
windings supplies the electronic flame detection circuit at
low voltage, and the detection probe with about 300V. This
supply system offers the big advantage of having constant
ionization values, even if the network is a live-live
installation.
To check the efficiency of the flame detection circuit, you
have to proceed as follows: connect a low impedance
ammeter, as shown in Fig.1; the R1 ... Rn resistors in
series must give the total resistance value of 200MΩ (e.g.
20 resistors of 10MΩ 1/4W 5%). If the control box is
supplied with 220V, the measured current value is about
0,5+0,6µA DC, which causes the flame relay to switch on.
Lower current values indicate that the circuit is damaged or
only partially efficient.

CONSTRUCTION
The components of the control box are fixed on a pressed
frame made of thermohardening material, with high
dielectric resistance. The plastic casing protects the device
from possible damages resulting from crashes, incautious
opening, dust and contact with the external environment.
Flexible unipolar conductors of different sizes connect the
components of the control, except for the flame detection
and prepurge control circuit, which is mounted on a printed
circuit.
OVERALL DIMENSIONS
The overall dimensions of the control box are shown in

ACCESSORIES
The control is provided with inbuilt reset button and
luminous lockout signal.
It can be supplied with kanthal flame detection probes in
different executions (see, for instance, Fig.3).
The casing is arranged for the fitting of core hitches and/or
cable holders on its sides; also these accessories can be
supplied on request.

THERMAL TIMERS
The safety time is given by a compensated thermal timer.
The fixed value of 220 V/20°C does not vary of more than
25% with voltage (-15% +10%) and temperature (-10

thermal timer too; in the controls type SR3 and VE3 it is
possible to obtain very exact prepurge times even after
frequent and repeated starts of the unit, by exploiting the
bimetal both in the heating and in the cooling stage.
OPERATING CYCLE
When thermostats and gas pressure switch are closed, the
control box starts up the burner motor. During this period

If a limiter or regulator is opened, the oil flow is immediately
