1 Purpose and Functions

The ACTii AC7573 ceramic igniter is an advanced technological solution that revolutionises the process of igniting biomass in modern heating systems. It is a high-temperature heating element used in most pellet burners, designed as a more efficient and durable alternative to conventional metal heaters. The product was manufactured in the European Union from the highest quality materials, which guarantees long-term and trouble-free operation.

The device is designed for the ignition of a wide spectrum of renewable fuels, including wood pellets, wood chips, logs, straw and other types of biomass. Thanks to its design, the igniter reaches extremely high temperatures in a very short time, which significantly speeds up the boiler start process.

Main features:

• ✔ Very low energy consumption compared to a conventional heater
• ✔ Durable and wear-resistant (does not degrade like metal elements)
• ✔ Fast ignition time: 60~90 seconds
• ✔ Tested for 100,000 ignition cycles (technology proven for 15 years on the Japanese market)
• ✔ Easy installation and possibility of retrofitting existing burners
• ✔ Compatibility with any steel pipe with an internal diameter above 18mm
• ✔ High continuous operating temperature: 1000°C
• ✔ Safety: no risk of overheating even in the event of blower failure
• ✔ Fully insulated connections and shielded electrical contacts
• ✔ UL/EC certified wiring resistant to temperatures of 200-500°C
• ✔ High resistance to oxidation and chemical corrosion
• ✔ Compliance with RoHS standards and REACH regulation

Application:

The igniter is used in a wide range of heating devices:

• Wood pellet boilers and burners
• Wood chip burners
• Straw burners
• Other biomass combustion systems

2 Technical Specification

3 Installation and Operating Instructions

Installation rules:

The ceramic igniter should be mounted in such a way that the stream of hot air is directed directly at the fuel (biomass). The following guidelines should be followed:

• Installation diameter: The igniter fits standard steel pipes with an internal diameter larger than 18 mm.
• Positioning: The optimal distance of the igniter front from the fuel should be chosen so as to ensure ignition within 60-90 seconds. Placing it too close can expose the element to mechanical damage from expanding fuel, while placing it too far will lengthen the ignition time.
• Ventilation: Although the igniter is resistant to a lack of air supply, it is recommended to ensure airflow around the heating capillary, which speeds up the transport of heat to the biomass.
• Electrical connection: The 350 mm long cables have high-temperature certification. They must be connected to the boiler controller in accordance with the heating device manufacturer's diagram.

4 Safety and Maintenance

Safety rules (According to EU standards):

• Insulation: The product has fully insulated connections, but cables should be protected from abrasion against the sharp edges of the burner housing.
• Operating environment: The igniter is resistant to corrosion, but direct contact with water or other liquids during operation should be avoided.
• Compliance: The product meets the requirements of the Low Voltage Directive and the EN 60335 standard confirmed by TUV Rheinland.

Maintenance:

The ceramic igniter is a maintenance-free element and does not undergo natural wear and tear to the same extent as metal heaters. It is only recommended to periodically check the cleanliness of the installation pipe and remove any excess ash that could block the flow of hot air.
