• Valve:HI,FB:LO (ON - Normal)


• Valve:LO,FB:LO (OFF - but open circuit FAULT)


• Valve:HI,FB:HI (ON - but FAULT)



Each reading consists of two parameters:

1. The [first parameter] indicates whether the solenoid is [ON or OFF].
2. The [second parameter]... Voltage is continuously present on the high side of the solenoid. When the solenoid is OFF:LO or Valves:LO, both ends of the solenoid have voltage, but no current flows. When the solenoid is ON:HI or Valves:HI, current begins to flow, with voltage present at the top while the low side drops to 0V via a conducting MOSFET, resulting in Valve:HI,FB:LO.
By interpreting these signals, you can diagnose whether a valve is operating as expected or if a solenoid fault needs attention.

6. Safety and Emergency Shutdown:

   • Flame Detection Failure: If the selected sensing method (ionization rod, ionization flame rod, or thermocouple) indicates no flame presence after the 15-second stabilization period, the BMS closes Valve 1 (the safety shutdown valve) to halt fuel flow and prevent gas buildup. If this failure persists after five attempts, the heater shuts down and requires manual ESD clearance to restart.
   • High-Temperature Safety Shutdown: If enabled by the operator, the BMS uses the test exhaust thermocouple in the exhaust stack to monitor temperature. If the temperature exceeds the preset 1100°F threshold, the BMS automatically closes Valve 1 to shut down the system, prioritizing safety to reduce the potential for backfire due to gas buildup.
   • Low Oil Level Shutdown: The level switch monitors the oil bath level. If the level becomes too low, the BMS closes Valve 1 to shut down the system, limiting potential damage to the firetube.
   • Emergency Shutdown (ESD): Operators can press the [ESD] button on the interface to shut down the heater treater, closing Valve 1 and switching the system to [Run] mode. After a shutdown due to five failed ignition attempts, the ESD must be manually cleared before restarting.
   • Alarm Thresholds: Adjustable alarms notify operators of issues like defective sensors or solenoid faults (e.g., HI/HI indicates a solenoid fault).
   • Safety Features: The BMS ensures compliance with local electrical regulations and uses robust enclosures to withstand harsh conditions.

5. Q: How do I diagnose a failed flame rod on my Platinum Control Systems-600 BMS?

   A: Start by checking for a proper ground path and clean flame rod surface—carbon buildup or corrosion can interrupt flame rectification. Use a microamp meter in series with the flame rod circuit to measure flame signal strength; values below 1 µA DC typically indicate failure. Also verify flame quality and burner grounding. If the rod is scratched or pitted, replace it to restore reliable flame detection.

6. Q: How does a flame igniter Shot Tube work?

   A: A flame igniter shot tube works by launching a flame front through a pipe to ignite a flare or pilot burner. The tube fills with a fuel/air mixture—either manually or via a self-inspirating design—and a spark ignites the mixture at the base. The resulting flame travels rapidly through the tube (typically 1–2 inches in diameter) and ignites the flare tip or pilot nozzle at the end. This produces a visible or audible confirmation of ignition. Shot tubes are ideal for remote sites and can operate without compressed air, making them reliable for manual or automatic flare systems.
