Low Gas Pressure Fault Test
1. Remove the 1/4“ plug from the ball valve at the low gas pressure switch shown in the
lower portion of Figure 6-1a.
2. Install a 0 – 16“ W.C. manometer or a W.C. gauge where the 1/4" plug was removed.
3. Slowly open the ball valve near the low gas pressure switch.
4. Place the unit in Manual Mode and adjust the Air/Fuel Valve position (% open) between
25 and 30%.
5. While the unit is firing, slowly close the external manual gas shut-off valve.
6. The unit should shut down and display a
GAS PRESSURE
fault message at
approximately:
3.6” W.C. for for BMK 2500
and
2.6” W.C. for BMK 3000
.
7. Fully open the external manual gas shut-off 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.
9. Upon test completion, close the ball valve and remove the manometer. Replace the 1/4“
plug removed in step 1.
6.3 HIGH GAS PRESSURE TEST
To simulate a high gas pressure fault, refer to Figure 6-2a and 6-2b and perform the following
