sizing is to add 10% to vacuum determined from Figure 10
5. If installation has lift (Lift is defined as the vertical distance

Power Flame uses flame safeguards from several different
manufacturers including Honeywell, Siemens, Fireye,
Autoflame, and Lamtec. Please reference the flame
safeguard manufacturer literature for the minimum flame
strength value which triggers flame failures. Power Flame
recommends the burner be adjusted such that the flame
signal strength reliably exceeds that minimum flame
strength value.
