Figure 6-1A:
Low Gas Pressure Switch Locations & Test Point Locations
The upstream Low Gas Pressure switch is set at 8.6” W.C. and is tested as follows:
Low Gas Pressure Fault Test
1. Remove the 1/4“ plug from the Tee at the Low Gas Pressure switch shown in Figure 6-
1A.
2. Install a NPT-to-barbed fitting and connect a 0 – 16“ W.C. manometer where the 1/4" plug
was removed.
3. Open the external gas supply ball valve upstream of the unit.
4. Place the unit in Manual Mode and adjust the Air/Fuel Valve position (% open) to 50%.
5. While the unit is firing, slowly close the external gas supply shut-off valve.
6. The unit should shut down and display a
GAS PRESSURE
fault message at approximately
8.5” W.C. The
FAULT
indicator should also start flashing.
7. Fully open the external gas supply ball valve and press the
CLEAR
button on the Control
Box.
8. The fault message should clear and the
FAULT
indicator should go off. The unit should
restart.
