INTRODUCTION

The TMO 720-4 oil burner control box is capable of control-

ling and monitoring medium to high capacity forced-draught
burners (tested and approved as per EN 230).
It can be employed, as preferred, for multi-stage or modu-
lating operation, with burners of any nominal rating or with
stationary warm air generators (as per DIN 4794).
The TMO 720-4 is fully interchangeable with the earlier ver- TECHNICAL DATA
