3.11 START/STOP LEVELS
The start and stop levels are the Air/Fuel Valve positions (% open) that start and stop the unit,
based on load. These levels are Factory preset as follows:
Start Level:
22%
Stop Level:
18%
Normally, these settings should not require adjustment.
Note that the energy input of the Heating Boiler is not linearly related to the Air/Fuel Valve
position.
The Tables below show the relationship between the energy input and Air/Fuel Valve position.
