Special Test Mode for PWM (V) output
(Installer function only)
The PWM (V) output controls the modulating gas valve.
Amplitude of this signal is about 10 VDC, frequency is 1 HZ
and the pulse width is variable 350 to 950 in steps of 50
msec.
To activate the modulating test mode, press and hold the
Installer Config touch key until the display changes to show
dC (in actual temperature digits) and 05 (default) in clock
digits (at least 10 seconds). If the touch key is released
before the display changes the test mode will not be acti-
vated and the installer menu mode will be active. On entering
the modulating test mode, the display (
05 ) will indicate the
duty cycle of 5% (pulse width of 50 msec) corresponding to
no call for heat.
Press key to change the display to 35 (duty cycle 35%).
The W output will energize and within one second the pulse
width modulated V output will also be activated with a pulse
width of 350 msec.
Use or touch keys to increase or decrease the pulse
width in steps of 50 milliseconds (5% change in duty cycle).
The maximum duty cycle is 95% (maximum pulse width of
950 milliseconds).
This special test mode will be exited by pressing Run
Schedule touch key or when there is no keypad activity for
over 60 minutes.
