Change in Fuel Pressure Vs Elevation

2.1.9

Factory Settings

The power output at ambient temperature, voltage across the precision load, and burner

fuel pressure that were measured during factory performance test at elevation of the

factory are recorded as factory settings. This information is provided for reference only

because the fuel pressure is adjusted to obtain the desired power at customer site.
