J.5     Main And Safety Gas Solenoid Valves Leak Test

1. 

Turn heater OFF.

2. 

Verify supply pressure is between 5 – 20 psi.

3. 

Close the manual pilot gas shut off valve (5) upstream of 
the pilot gas regulator (4), with the handle perpendicular 
with the pipe.

4. 

With the manifold pressure gage (10) reading “0”, close the 
manual gas shut off valve(11), downstream of the main and 
safety gas solenoid valve (9).

5. 

After 10 minutes there should be no increase of pressure 
on the downstream gauge. If there is an increase, refer to 

the Honeywell gas valve manual in the component bulletin 
section at the end of this manual, for service information.

J.6     Dirt Trap And Strainer

WARNING

WARNING. 

All persons employed in handling propane 

or natural gas shall be trained in proper handling and 
operating procedures, as required by local authorities 
having jurisdiction.

1. 

If a dirty supply line is suspected, turn off the local gas supply, 
remove the dirt trap cap and inspect for dirt and moisture.

2. 

If a strainer is installed, remove center plug and inspect for 
blockage. If evidence is found, locate source and correct 
problem.

3. 

If the strainer screen is clogged, remove the cap and 
screen. Old gasket is not reusable. Clean screen. Apply 
sealant to plug threads. Reinstall cleaned screen, cap with 
new gasket, and plug.

4. 

Inspect manifold and clean if necessary.

5. 

Empty cap of any dirt or moisture. Apply thread sealant 
and reinstall cap.

6. 

Turn on gas supply and leak test dirt trap.

7. 

Perform Main And Safety Gas Solenoid Valves Leak to 

ensure valve seats seal.

J.7    Motor

Running amps greater than 115% of the motor rated full 
load amps can indicate failed bearings, excessive air leaks 
in the ductwork, inadequately sized power supply wires, or 
poor electrical connections.

** Maximum current draw under design operating conditions 

of -40°C/°F ambient temperature at sea level and supply voltage. 
Current draw drops with temperature, elevation or voltage increase.

NOTE:     

Measure current between motor and contactor, not at 
the supply terminals.

J.8    Vibration Specifications and Measurement

1. 

All motor/impeller/base sets are match balanced with 

vibration levels lower than 0.20 in./sec RMS, at the four 
points depicted.

2. 

Do not measure on covers or guards.

3. 

Mark locations 1, 2, 3 and 4 on motor to ensure repeatable 
measurements for trend analysis.

4. 

Take measurements vertically at points 1 and 2, and 

horizontally at 3 and 4.

Vibration Level (in./sec)

Acceptable

Less than 0.20

Tolerable

0.21 to 0.29

Excessive

0.30 to 0.71

Extreme

0.72 or more

J.9     Lubrication

1. 

The motor has sealed bearings and does not require 

lubrication.

2. 

When installing flame rod or igniter always apply high 
temperature anti seize compound to threads.

J.10  Flame Safety Relay (FSR)

1. 

Ensure that adequate gas pressure is available.

2. 

Note the 5 LEDs on the front face of the FSR.

3. 

The following is the normal expected status LED sequence:

3.1  

With adequate power, the green POWER will be lit and 
will blink every 4 seconds, indicating standby mode. 

3.2  

Turn the mode selector switch to “MANUAL”. The 

blower will start, followed by the trial for ignition. The 

yellow PILOT LED will light. 

3.3  

Once the burner is lit and a flame signal is 
established, the red FLAME LED lights. 

3.4  

After 10 seconds, the yellow MAIN LED lights, leaving 

four lit LEDs, the POWER, FLAME, PILOT and MAIN. 

3.5  

The LEDs maintain this status until the cycling 

thermostat reaches its set point and turns off the 
request for heat.
