INITIAL START-UP
5.1 INITIAL START-UP REQUIREMENTS
•
Complete installation instructions SECTION 2:, including gas supply piping, vent
installation and condensate drain piping. Starting a unit without the proper piping, venting, or
electrical systems can be dangerous and may void the product warranty.
•
Set proper controls and limits (see Section 6:
Advanced Setup
in the
Edge Controller
Manual
, OMM-0161).
PVI recommends that the
Standby Blower Voltage
parameter be kept at 2.00 volts (the default
set at the factory) to prevent flue gas recirculation. To check, go to
Main Menu

Advanced
Setup
→
Performance
→
Fire Control
→
Operating Control
and verify the
Standby Blower
Voltage
parameter is set to
2.00 V
. However, individually vented units in positive pressure
Water Heater rooms may set Standby Blower Voltage between 2.00 and 0 volts to compensate.
