Siemens Burner Controllers LAL Series

Product Code: siemens-burner-controllers-lal-series
Siemens LAL Series comprises automatic oil burner control units for medium- to large-capacity industrial oil atomizing burners with multistage or modulating operation. The LAL1.25, LAL2.14, LAL2.25, LAL2.65 and LAL3.25 models manage burner startup, ignition, checked air damper sequencing, flame monitoring and safety lockout. Depending on the model, flame supervision uses QRB1/QRB3 photoresistive detectors, a QRC1 blue-flame detector or an RAR9 photocell. Selected models support air pressure supervision and specialized applications such as flash steam generators, medium- or heavy-oil burners and incinerator systems. Designed for intermittent operation with at least one controlled shutdown every 24 hours.

Product Description

Siemens Burner Controllers LAL Series

Siemens LAL Series Oil Burner Controls are designed to control and supervise medium- to large-capacity industrial oil atomizing burners with multistage or modulating operation.

The units manage burner startup, prepurge, ignition sequencing, fuel valve operation, checked air damper control and flame supervision. They operate intermittently and require at least one controlled shutdown every 24 hours.

Key Features

  • Automatic startup and ignition sequencing for industrial oil burners
  • Multistage and modulating burner control
  • Flame supervision with compatible Siemens QRB1/QRB3, QRC1 or RAR9 detectors, depending on model
  • Checked air damper control and position monitoring
  • Air pressure switch supervision on LAL2 and LAL3 models
  • Safety lockout for specified combustion faults
  • Integrated lockout indication and reset function
  • Intermittent operation requiring controlled shutdown at least every 24 hours

Available Siemens LAL Models

ModelDescription / Application
LAL1.25Yellow- and blue-flame oil burners without air pressure supervision; supports compatible QRB1/QRB3 and QRC1 detectors.
LAL2.14Yellow-flame burners with air pressure supervision; suitable for flash steam generator applications.
LAL2.25General-purpose industrial oil burners with air pressure supervision.
LAL2.65Medium- or heavy-oil burners requiring extended prepurge.
LAL3.25Specialized applications, including compatible incinerator burners, with startup prevention during extraneous-light detection.

Flame Detector Compatibility

  • LAL1.25: QRB1 / QRB3 photoresistive detectors or QRC1 blue-flame detector.
  • LAL2.14 / LAL2.25 / LAL2.65: QRB1 / QRB3 photoresistive detectors or RAR9 photocell detector.
  • LAL3.25: QRB1 / QRB3 or RAR9, subject to the specific operating configuration.
  • AC 100–110 V versions: Detector compatibility is limited to QRB1/QRB3 or RAR9 as specified by Siemens.

Industrial Applications

  • Industrial steam and hot water boilers
  • Multistage and modulating oil burners
  • Flash steam generators
  • Medium- and heavy-oil combustion equipment
  • Stationary industrial air heaters
  • Specialized incinerator burner installations

Selection and Replacement Guidelines

Confirm the full LAL model number, supply voltage, detector compatibility, prepurge time (t1), ignition safety time (TSA), postpurge time (t6), air pressure switch requirements, wiring and compatible plug-in base before ordering or replacing the controller.

Safety Note: LAL3.25 prevents startup when extraneous light is detected, rather than initiating the same lockout behavior as other LAL models. The flame failure response also depends on the specified wire-link configuration. Installation and commissioning must follow Siemens CC1N7153en and be carried out by qualified personnel.
