PERATION
Natural gas and propane are permanently piped to
separate connections on the boiler. Each branch of the
gas train is fitted with a regulator and a motorized gas
valve. The regulators are adjusted to properly fire the
boiler from their respective sources. Boiler and con-
trol functions are the same for both fuels.
In the event of interruption or restriction of the natural
gas supply, changeover to propane is made
manually
by a selector switch on the boiler (or by a signal from
a remote switch or controller).
When the natural gas supply is reestablished, change-
over is made by restoring the selector switch to its
normal position (or by sending the appropriate signal
from the remote controller).
