High Gas Pressure Fault Test
– Continued
6. Increase the gas pressure using the adjustment screw on the downstream SSOV (see
Figure 4-3).The unit should shut down and display a GAS PRESSURE fault message
when the gas pressure exceeds 10.5” W.C. The FAULT indicator should also start
flashing.
7. Reduce the gas pressure back to the value recorded in step 5. This pressure should be
within the range of 7.9” W.C. ± 0.4” W.C.
8. Press the
CLEAR
button on the Control Box to clear the fault.
9. The fault message should clear and the
FAULT
indicator should go off. The unit should
restart.
10. Upon test completion, close the ball valve and remove the manometer. Replace the 1/4“
plug removed in step 1.
6.4 LOW WATER LEVEL FAULT TEST
To simulate a low water level fault, proceed as follows:
Low Water Level Fault Test
1. Set the
ON/OFF
switch to the
OFF
position
2. Close the water shut-off valves in the supply and return piping to the unit.
3. Slowly open the drain valve on the rear of the unit. If necessary the unit’s relief valve may
be opened to aid in draining.
4. Continue draining the unit until a
LOW WATER LEVEL
fault message is displayed and the
FAULT
indicator flashes.
5. Place the unit in the Manual Mode and raise the valve position above 30%.
6. Set the
ON/OFF
switch to the
ON
position. The
READY
light should remain off and the unit
should not start. If the unit does start, shut the unit off immediately and refer fault to
qualified service personnel.
7. Close the drain and pressure relief valve used in draining the unit.
8. Open the water shut-off valve in the return piping to the unit.
9. Open the water supply shut-off valve to the unit to refill.
10. After the shell is full, press the
LOW WATER LEVEL RESET
button to reset the low water
cutoff.
11. Press the
CLEAR
button to reset the
FAULT
LED and clear the displayed error message.
12. Set the
ON/OFF
switch to the
ON
position. The unit is now ready for operation.
