• When a tension ga
u
ge is not a
v
ailable, meas

re
the belt span of the belts (
See Page 66, Figure
32
).
• Allo
w
for 1/64" (0.40 cm) of deflection for each
inch of center distance length for the charted
po
u
nds of force. Check
Page 66, Table 15
for
proper deflection force.
• EXAMPLE: A 40" (101.6 cm) shaft center
distance
w
o

ld dictate 40"/64" or 5/8" (1.59
cm) of deflection. With a standard B-belt and
a motor shea

NOTE: If drive belts squeal during start-up, increase belt tension
to the highest allowed value. Re-check tension during each
inspection. See Page 72, Section 21 for additional information.
20.2.3 Air Temperature Sensin

The sensing probe is factory mo
u
nted in the blo

1.
Check motor starter for proper o
v
erload set-
tings. The o
v
erload setting sho

ld meet f
u
ll
load amps (FLA) of motor.
2.
Meas
u
re the s

w
ith the air handler
off and then on. For a system that is po
w
ered
w
ith three phase po
w
er, meas
u
re the
v
oltage of
each phase.
3.
Verify correct blo
w
er rotation.
4.
While the blo
w
er is r
u
nning and the b
u
rner is
off, meas

re the system c
u
rrent dra
w
again after the b

and
w

5.
If applicable, compare all

20.4 Airflow
The air flo
w
s
w
itches are factory calibrated safety
de
v
ices for b
u
rner air flo
w
. If an air flo
w
s
w
itch does
not close, the problem may not be the air flo
w
s
w
itch.
It co
u
ld be an indication of an air flo
w
problem
(incorrect blo
w
er rotation, d
u
ct restrictions, etc.).
20.4.1 Differential Pressure
In order to
v
erify proper airflo
w
across the b
u
rner, the
differential press
u
re across the profile plate needs to
be meas
u
red. Attach a manometer to the press
u
re
test ports
w
here the press
u
re s

itch is attached and
meas
u
re the differential press

After any adj

alignment, belt tensions and
v
