Siemens LMO14 / LMO24 / LMO44 Oil Burner Controllers

Siemens LMO14, LMO24 and LMO44 Series are microcontroller-based oil burner controls for automatic startup, ignition sequencing, flame supervision and safety monitoring of forced-draft oil burners in intermittent operation. LMO14 is designed for single-stage burners, while LMO24 and LMO44 support two-stage operation, including selected applications above 30 kg/h oil throughput. The controllers support QRB1, QRB3, QRB4 and QRC1 flame detectors, undervoltage monitoring, remote reset, restart limitation and multicolor LED diagnostics. Suitable for industrial oil-fired boilers, steam generators and heating equipment.

Product Description

Siemens Burner Controllers LMO14 / LMO24 / LMO44 Series

Siemens LMO14 / LMO24 / LMO44 Series are microcontroller-based oil burner controls developed for automatic burner startup, ignition sequencing, flame supervision, and safe operation of forced-draft oil burners in intermittent mode.

The controllers use digital program sequencing to coordinate burner operation and monitor flame signals. Depending on the model, they support single-stage or two-stage fuel valve control, with safety lockout and multicolor LED status diagnostics.

Key Features

  • Automatic startup and ignition sequencing for forced-draft oil burners
  • Single-stage control with LMO14 and two-stage control with LMO24 / LMO44
  • Oil throughput below 30 kg/h, including applications above 30 kg/h on selected versions
  • Yellow-flame detection with QRB1, QRB3 or QRB4
  • Blue-flame detection with QRC1
  • Integrated undervoltage monitoring
  • Electrical remote reset functionality
  • Oil preheater monitoring and bridging contact
  • Accurate digital burner program sequencing
  • Controlled intermittent operation after 24 hours of continuous operation
  • Restart limitation for burner safety
  • Multicolor LED operating and fault indication
  • Diagnostic support through OCI400 and ACS410 software

  • QRC1: Blue-flame detector

Typical Applications

  • Industrial oil-fired boilers
  • Forced-draft oil burner systems
  • Steam generators
  • Industrial heating equipment
  • Stationary direct-fired air heaters on supported models

Product Selection Guidelines

Verify the complete model reference, supply voltage, burner stage configuration, oil throughput, flame detector type, prepurge time (t1), ignition safety time (TSA), and existing electrical wiring before ordering or replacing a controller.

Important: Installation, commissioning, and replacement must be performed by qualified personnel according to Siemens technical documentation. When replacing an LOA controller, check any required changes to the ignition transformer wiring and other safety-related connections.
