Figure 6-1: Low & High Gas Pressure Testing
Fully open the external manual gas shut-off valve and press the
CLEAR
button on the
7.
Control Box.
The fault message should clear and the FAULT indicator should go off. The unit should
8.
restart.
Upon test completion, close the ball valve and remove the manometer. Replace the 1/4“
9.
plug removed in step 1.
6.3 HIGH GAS PRESSURE TEST
To simulate a high gas pressure fault, refer to Figure 6-1 and proceed as follows:
Remove the 1/4“ plug from the leak detection ball valve shown in Figure 6-1.
1.
Install a 0 – 16” W.C. manometer (or W.C. gauge) where the 1/4” plug was removed.
2.
Slowly open the leak detection ball valve
3.
Start the unit in Manual mode at a valve position (firing rate) between 25 and 30%.
4.
Slowly increase the gas pressure using the adjustment screw on the SSOV.
