COMMISSIONING THE APPLIANCE
WARNING: The burner inlet flow rates are factory set and cannot be changed.
The aeration is fixed; do not change the burner aeration.
This fire must not be
operated without the heat shield in place over the remote system. Failure to do
this will result in serious damage to the remote system which will not be
covered by the warranty.
The burner is tested to 150mBar at the factory to ensure there are no gas leaks
in the burner. Do not adjust any fixings within the fire.
Refer to the “lighting the fire” on page 44 later in this handbook to learn the
remote system and sequence.
To commission the appliance complete all of the steps below.
CHECK THE GAS PRESSURE
•
Use the commissioning sheet on page 31 completing each section in
turn, recording the gas pressures measured on the sheet.
•
It is very important that this test is performed as stated to
ensure the appliance is safe and reliable.
•
Ensure the gas tap is in the open position to allow gas to flow. Remove
the screw from the test point within the appliance and connect a
manometer. With the appliance off check for gas soundness in the
supply circuit. If there is a pressure drop correct the leak in the pipe
work before continuing.
•
Check 1 – Record the standing pressure in the commissioning
sheet.
•
Using the handset start the fire. The pilot will light and then the main
burner will ignite. If the pilot does not light try a few times until any air
in the gas pipes has been purged.
•
Use the handset to ensure the fire is on full. You will now start a set of
tests which will confirm the gas pressure is within the safety limits.
•
The inlet supply pressure (measured at the test point in the fire)
must be within (+/- 1mb) of the pressure stated on the Data Plate. For
example a 20mBar Natural Gas appliance must read between 19mbar
and 21mBar.
•
Check 2 – with the fire on full and all other gas appliances in the
home on - record the pressure in the commissioning sheet.
•
Check 3 – with the fire on full and all other gas appliances in the
home off - record the pressure in the commissioning sheet.
•
Are the results within the limits?
