Start-Up Preparation
3. Fill the outer tank to correct system pres-
sure. Correct pressure will vary with each
application.
Typical residential system fill pressure is
12 psi. System pressure will increase
when system temperature increases.
Operating pressure of the system should
never exceed 25 psi.
4. Allow air to escape from the outer tank by
opening the automatic air vent provided
with the MODULATING DELTA.
5. Purge air in each zone of the primary sys-
tem through the purge valve. Open air
vents to allow air to be purged in the zones.
6. Once the system is completely filled and
purged of all air, check the system pressure
and check for leaks.
Check For Gas Leaks
Prior to start-up and during initial opera-
tion, smell near the floor and around the
appliance for gas odorant or any unusual
odor. Do not proceed with the start-up if
there is any indication of a gas leak. Any
leaks found must be repaired immediate-
ly.
DO NOT adjust or attempt to measure
gas valve outlet pressure. The gas valve
is factory-set for the correct outlet pres-
sure. This setting is suitable for natural
gas and propane and requires no field
adjustment. Attempts by the installer to
adjust or measure the gas valve outlet
pressure could result in damage to the
valve, causing potential severe personal
injury, death or substantial property
damage.
Propane installations only - The propane
supplier mixes an odorant with the
propane to make its presence detectable.
In some cases the odorant can fade and
the gas may no longer have an odor.
Prior to start-up of the appliance and
periodically after start-up, have the
propane supplier check an verify the
odorant level.
Check Thermostat Circuit
-
Disconnect the external thermostat
wires from terminals 7 and 8 on the low
voltage terminal strip.
-
Connect a voltmeter across the wire
ends of the external thermostat wiring.
-
Close each thermostat, zone valve and
relay in the external circuit one zone at
a time and check the voltage reading
across the wire ends.
-
There should
NEVER
be voltage mea-
sured at the wire ends.
-
If voltage is measured at the panel
under any condition, check and correct
the external wiring.
In systems using 3-wire zone valves
backfeed of voltage to the appliance is a
common problem. Use an isolation relay
to prevent voltage from the external cir-
cuit entering the MODULATING
DELTA control panel.
