Design Features

MICROFLAT control units feature compact size and robust construction:

  • Self-extinguishing plastic enclosure
  • PCB with SMD components
  • Overvoltage protection with varistor
  • Built-in fuse for relay protection
  • Multiple mounting options

Operation Principle

At each start, the control unit performs self-diagnostics. During pre-purge, the flame signal amplifier is tested. Only after successful test the gas valve and ignition device are activated. If flame is detected within safety time (TS), ignition is stopped. If no flame is detected, the system goes to lockout.

Model Range

The MICROFLAT series includes several types of control units:

  • CM..F – for wall-mounted boilers
  • SM..F – general purpose
  • MM..F – monoelectrode
  • TM..F – with safety thermostat
  • CE..F/ME..F – with electrical reset
  • Compact size
  • High reliability
  • Wide range of time settings
  • Easy installation and connection
  • Compatibility with various burner types
  • Full compliance with European safety standards

Conclusion

The MICROFLAT series control systems from Brahma are modern, reliable and safe solutions for gas burner automation. Their compact size, wide functionality and compliance with strict safety standards make them an excellent choice for heating equipment manufacturers.
