Testing CAP System Operation

1

  

 

With the CAP System installed and the cover securely 
mounted, initiate a call for heat and allow the burner to 
fire.

2

  

 With the burner firing, move the  
Test Lever to the TEST position  
for 20 seconds. The burner will  
shut down following the 20 second  
delay.

NOTE: The 70200 will allow the  

burner to recycle three times to prevent nuisance  
shutdowns caused by temporary blockages or high wind 
conditions. If the blockage persists the burner will shut 
down and lock out after the third recycle attempt. 
NOTE: If the burner does not have a prepurge cycle, the 

burner will fire upon recycle, but will shut down following 
20 seconds of operation. (See the 70200 instructions for 
more details).

Annual Test

Using the instruction above, the CAP System operation should 
be tested annually. 

Troubleshooting

Burner Will Not Shut Down During Test 

If the burner did not shut down with the test damper closed for 
a sustained 20 seconds, check the following:

•  Make sure that the burner cover is properly sealed. If a signif-

icant amount of air is leaking into the cover or back plate, the 
burner will not shut down during the test. Check for proper 
installation of all components in the Burner Seal Kit.

•  Make sure that the burner cover screw is tight. This also 

prevents basement air from entering the cover.

•  Check that the correct air pressure switch is installed based 

on the firing rate of the burner (See table on page 2 and 
instructions for changing the switch on this page)

•  Make sure Vent Input on 70200 control is set to “Intake” (see 

step 11).

Changing the Air Pressure Switch

The air pressure switch must correspond with the firing rate 
of the burner – see table on page 2. Carlin’s Complete CAP 
System Kit (51300S) contains all three pressure switches. 
Switches are also available separately. If you need to change 
the switch to accommodate your application, follow the in-
structions below:

1

   Remove the switch cover which is secured by two mount-

ing screws (shown above). 

2

   Unplug the two female fast-ons from the switch. 

3

    Pull the switch outward to remove it from the assembly. 

Replace it with the switch that corresponds to the burner’s 
firing rate. Reattach the wires and secure the switch cover
