9. Upon test completion, close the external ball valve to shut down the unit. Remove the
manometer and NPT-to-barbed fitting. Replace the 1/4“ plug removed in step 1.
6.3 HIGH GAS PRESSURE FAULT TEST
To simulate a high gas pressure fault, refer to Figure 6-1B and perform the following steps:
Figure 6-1B:
High Gas Pressure Test
High Gas Pressure Fault Test
1. Remove the 1/4“ plug from the ball valve shown in Figure 6-1B.
2. Install a NPT-to-barbed fitting and a 0 – 16” W.C. manometer where the 1/4” plug was
removed. Open the ball valve at the High Gas Pressure switch.
3. Open the external gas supply ball valve upstream of the unit.
4. Start the unit in the Manual mode at a valve position (% open) between 25 and 30%.
5. With the unit running, monitor the gas pressure on the manometer installed in step 2 and
record the gas pressure reading.
