Overview of RM7800L2087 Honeywell Burner Control
The RM7800L2087 is an enhanced microprocessor-based burner control in Honeywell’s 7800 Series. It supports “VPS LHL-LF & HF” programming with proven purge capability. It offers robust sequencing, flame supervision, diagnostics, and plug-in modular flexibility. It is used to manage safety and operation of oil, gas, or combination fuel burners.
Key Features & Benefits
-
Full burner sequencing (prepurge, ignition, main flame, postpurge), with flame supervision and lockout logic
-
Built-in diagnostics and system status indicators via LEDs and display module
-
Nonvolatile memory retains history and operational state through power loss
-
Interchangeable plug-in flame amplifiers for flexibility
-
Compatible with optional remote display modules, annunciators, and FIELD interfaces
-
Unlockable configuration including valve proving test timing and purge scheduling
-
Can be used with airflow switch checks, multiple interlocks, and remote reset capability
-
Supports flame establishing periods configurable for pilot and main stages
-
Designed for modularity: requires subbase, amplifier, display, and purge timer card to function

Applications
-
Commercial or industrial burner systems using oil, gas, or blended fuel
-
Replacement or upgrade applications where enhanced sequencing, diagnostics, or modular flexibility is desired
-
Systems requiring valve proving, remote monitoring, or advanced control logic
-
Burners needing configurable purge logic, flame failure response settings, and lockout tracking
Installation & Maintenance Recommendations
-
Assemble the control onto a properly wired subbase that matches 2xxx series (Q7800A or Q7800B)
-
Add the required plug-in flame amplifier, purge timer card, and display module for operation
-
Configure features such as purge time, flame establishing periods, and valve proving settings using the display module
-
Connect interlocks (airflow, limits, safety switches) per proper terminal assignments
-
During commissioning, check LED status indicators and lockout history to confirm correct operation
-
Periodically check wiring integrity, examine for corrosion or loose connections, and verify that no unapproved modifications are present
-
Use optionally available remote modules or annunciators to extend control visibility in larger systems
