CHAPTER 5. SAFETY DEVICE TESTING
5.1 INTRODUCTION
Periodic safety device testing is required to ensure that the control system and safety devices
are operating properly. The heater control system comprehensively monitors all combustion-
related safety devices before, during and after the start sequence. The following tests check to
ensure that the system is operating as designed.
Operating controls and safety devices should be tested on a regular basis or following service or
replacement. All testing must conform to local codes such as ASME CSD-1.
NOTES
MANUAL and AUTO modes of operation are required to perform the
following tests. For a complete explanation of these modes, see Chapter 3.
It will also be necessary to remove the front door and side panels from the
unit to perform the following tests.
WARNING!
Electrical voltages in this system may include 120 and 24 volts
AC. Power must be removed prior to performing wire removal or
other test procedures that can result in electrical shock.
5.2 LOW GAS PRESSURE FAULT TEST
Refer to Figure 5-1 and ensure that the leak detection ball valve located at the
High Gas
Pressure
switch is closed.
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 5-1.
2.
Install a
0 – 16“ W.C. (0 – 4.00 kPa)
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
LOW GAS PRESSURE
fault message at
approximately 2.6” W.C. (648 Pa). The
FAULT
indicator should also start flashing.
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.
