6.8.2 Blocked Inlet Switch Test
This test will be run in simulated fire mode, with the Blocked Inlet switch isolated from the rest of
the control circuitry.
1.
Set the Controller’s
Enable/Disable
switch to
Disable
.
2. Remove the air filter (see Figure 6-7, above).
WARNING:
THE BLOWER SUCTION IS VERY STRONG AND CAN PULL NEARBY
OBJECTS INTO THE FAN BLADES!
3. Turn off the gas supply ball valve to the unit and then complete the following steps:
a) Use jumper wires to jump out the Low Gas Pressure switch and Blower Proof switch.
b) Remove the black connector boot from the Flame Detector.
c)
Create a connector as shown below and connect it to the Flame Detector’s black
connector boot. Keep the alligator clip away from bare metal parts until step 5b.

4. Go to
Diagnostics
→
Manual Run
and enable the
Manual Mode
control.
5. Complete the following:
a)
Ramp the Water Heater up to 100% fire rate and then set the Controller’s
Enable/Disable
switch to
Enable
.
b) When the Controller gets into the ignition phase, it will show
Ignition Trial
. At that
point attach the alligator clip (see Figure 6.8-3) to any bare metal surface or
ground. The Controller displays
Flame Proven
and begins to ramp up to 100% fire
rate. Note that no gas or flame is present in the Water Heater at this time.
6. Wait for the unit to ramp up to at least 90% before continuing.
7. Cover the combustion air inlet opening with a solid, flat object, such as a piece of thick
plywood or a thick metal plate.
8. The unit should shut down and display
Airflow Fault During Run
. This step confirms
proper operation of the Blocked Inlet switch.
9. Remove cover from air inlet opening and reinstall the Combustion Air Duct or air filter.
10. Remove jumper wires installed in step 3 and replace the black connector boot on the
Flame Detector.
11. Press the
CLEAR
button. The unit should restart.
