Envirospec Burner Diagnostic

skid unit was $3995, think they all come with burner diagnostics now... Got a cap for the vertical burner as well to keep the rain out.

The burner diagnostic system is $197.21 in their catalog.

I have an Ironhorse that is over 5 years old and have had great luck with it. Very few repairs done.

Paul,

Can you explain how the system works?

I used it for the first time today - the red light comes on when the burner switch is on and the blue and orange lights come on when I start washing.

How does the diagnostic work?

Thanks.

Hey Steve do you have a picture of the burner and the Diagnostic light set-up you have?? I have an Envirospec Burner and I saw that Diagnostic light set-up in there catalog and I also was wondering what the lights meant and how they worked.
 
We have a light that is tied into each of the components on the machine. The burner works on a series circuit, each component that is closed will continue the circuit to the next. When one fails and the circuit opens the burner will not work. What our lights do is tell you where the circuit is broken.

When you squeeze the trigger the flow/pressure switch close and the 1st light turns on. From there the circuit continues to the temp switch if it is working the 2nd light turns on. Continuing on to the hi limit switch if that is working the 3rd light will turn on and your burner should light. If all 3 light and your burner is not working you need to check your fuel or transformer.

Now lets say you are working and the 2nd light goes out, this will also cause the 3rd light to go out as the circuit has failed at that point. Then you know you need to start with replacing the thermostat....and so on.

I was actually looking at one of those today in the catalog that just arrived....I would buy one if it worked and was portable, i.e. not hard wired to one unit but could be used for all my machines.

You could set it up to do that fairly easy it would just take a few extra connectors.

Sounds neat Paul.

Like Tom (Liquid Heat Az) and I were discussing the other day before you know it they will have an "app" for this. Remote unit diagnostics, everything communicated with alarms to a handheld device.

That is a cool little tool Paul. As someone else said, it would be awesome if someone built that into a portable diagnostic tool for companies that run multiple units.

Is there any way to add in a feature to test the generator/battery and the ignitor besides the old "hold the screwdriver across the igniter coils" or the ignitor tester? I've seen guys do the screwdrive trick and I always think to myself, what if? The shock from one of those things would ruin your whole beer drinking weekend!
 
It was John's idea, a simpler takeoff from his older diagnostic center. We do have one for 120v systems but you would need a special tester for the igniter we have a tool specifically for that here, it is part # 1947.

WOW !

..I've been giving this away on my pressurewashers for almost 15 years.
Hmmmm.
 
I did not think that any other vendors offered a diagnostic tool like that, I wonder who else has tools like that to help us contractors?
