Patent ID: 7090140

Claim:
Method for monitoring burners with an automatic burner control for controlling and/or regulating the burner, optionally a regulator for regulating the automatic burner control and a temperature monitor, at least the flow/boiler temperature being detected and compared by means of the temperature monitor with a predefinable first maximum flow/boiler temperature, and the burner being switched off if the flow/boiler temperature reaches or exceeds the predefinable first maximum flow/boiler temperature, characterized in that the flow/boiler temperature is compared with a predefinable second maximum flow/boiler temperature, the predefinable second maximum flow/boiler temperature is higher than the predefinable first maximum flow/boiler temperature, and the burner is switched off and locked if the flow/boiler temperature reaches or exceeds the predefinable second maximum flow/boiler temperature and also an error signal of the temperature monitor was produced, wherein the error signal of the temperature monitor is produced if the flow/boiler temperature reaches or exceeds the predefinable first maximum flow/boiler temperature and a status signal of the temperature monitor signals no switching-off of the burner.
