Abstract

The regulating device (15) for a burner has an ionization electrode (16) in the flame area of the burner influencing the fuel and air feed amounts dependent upon a positioning signal (18). Connected beyond the ionization electrode is an ionization evaluator (14) which produces an ionization signal (13). In a control unit (23), in which characteristic data is stored for determining a first condition of the positioning member (17), is produced time wise a first control signal (24). A regulator (26) produces the positioning signal at least time wise dependent upon the ionization signal and likewise dependent upon the first control signal (24).
