grated control or via an external system
interface for integration into a closed-
loop system (MISTRAL SYSTEM).
Informed: Display with user status information and
programming (MISTRAL SYSTEM).
Innovative design: Special baffle for an even airflow
distribution and an optimized,
aerodynamic airflow velocity.
Integrated: Thermal probe in the MISTRAL
SYSTEM for enhanced precision.
Quick to connect: Thanks to the integrated air hose
connection adapter, with its internal
1-inch thread, an additional adapter is
not required.

IGNITER BM4 / BR4 – Ignites just about anything.
The new IGNITER ignition blower from Leister has been specially developed for installation into pellet and wood chip
boilers. The IGNITER BR4 with 3.4 kW has what it takes. The interface was selected so that the ignition blowers can
easily be installed into any heating boiler.
Easy:Connector plug located directly on the
device means easy removal and
installation, as well as fewer
device configurations.
Clever:New assembly support for positioning
within the furnace.
Linked:Connection adapter for air hose located
directly on the device with inner 1”
thread (no extra accessories needed).
Additional:Pipe joint adapter with M14 thread for
easy adaptation of the heat conduction
lines and extensions (available only for
IGNITER BM4).
Protected:Heating element protection with
phototransistor and device protection
via temperature protection circuit.
