2.6.4 Ensure that the spark ignitor contact wires are connected to the pressure switch (C8, Figure 7).
Loosen the ignitor rod wing nut and push the ignitor rod (A8, Figure 5) in until it touches the
power unit and then pull it out about 5 mm (1/4 inch). Test the spark ignitor by shorting the
contacts on the pressure switch and listen for the sound of the spark.
2.6.5 Confirm that the regulator inlet pressure is between 105 kPa (15 psi) and 172 kPa (25 psi).
2.6.6 Turn on the gas pressure and then fully push in the button on the shutoff valve (C11, Figure 7)
to supply pressure to the pressure valve and gauge. The spark ignitor should begin clicking
and the sound of combustion should begin. In some cases it is necessary to allow the fuel line
to bleed out all of the air. Hold the button down for about one minute after combustion begins
and then release. If the sound of combustion quits then push the button down again until com
-
bustion is sustained.
NOTE: It is necessary to push the button firmly before releasing it.
2.6.7 Check that the gas pressure is still close to where it was set at the factory. This pressure is
marked on the front cabinet (see section 1.4). The pressure gauge reading will vary with alti
-
tude due to changes in atmospheric pressure and so it may be necessary to correct the factory
reading for altitude. Figure 4 shows the correction for variation from the factory altitude of 750
m (2460 ft). If the fuel pressure reading differs from the value shown on the cabinet and after
correcting for altitude then adjust it to be close to the indicated pressure or slightly lower.
2.6.8 After ignition of the burner, record the time on the Performance Log, at the back of this manual.
The voltage will begin to rise and at no time should this voltage exceed 4.0 volts.
WARNING: Should these values ever exceed these limits then overheating may
cause irreparable damage to the power unit invalidating the warranty.
2.6.9 After ignition, allow the temperature of the generator to stabilize for one hour and then record
the V
oc
voltage in the Performance Log.
CAUTION: When the TEG is operating, surface temperatures in the vicinity of the
thermopile, burner, exhaust stack and around the cooling fins may be in
excess of 100ºC. Avoid contact of skin and clothing with these areas when
operating in and around the TEG.
