Product Overview
The Siemens LME41 / LME44 Burner Controller for Gas Industrial Burners is a microprocessor-based automatic burner control system developed for the startup, control, supervision, and shutdown of gas burners operating in intermittent mode. These controllers are suitable for forced-draft burners with or without fans and are widely used in industrial and commercial combustion systems.
The LME41 / LME44 series manages all critical burner functions including pre-purge, ignition, flame monitoring, safety shutdown, and post-purge, ensuring high safety standards and stable burner performance. Flame supervision is carried out using an ionization probe or UV flame detectors, providing accurate flame detection even under demanding operating conditions.
Designed for OEM burner manufacturers and industrial installations, these controllers feature digital burner sequence control, air pressure supervision, undervoltage protection, and restart limitation, enhancing system safety and operational reliability. The built-in multicolor LED indicator enables quick status checks and fault diagnostics, reducing downtime and maintenance effort.
