The basics
Traditional burner control
ON/OFF
This is the most basic form of burner control. When
automatic burner controls became available, this was
the best available control technology.
SINGLE-POINT MODULATING

the proportional slide wire control and the modulating
motor. This type of control is known as single-point, or
linkage control. This is because only one motor can
safely be controlled by the slide wire output.
