The gas valve will automatically de-rate the maximum input in accordance with
the density altitude, by approximately 2% per 1,000' above sea level. The gas
valve’s zero governor will ensure that the gas:air mixture is not be affected at
altitude.
To verify the proper operation of the gas valve in the field, the following procedure
can be carried out by a qualified technician
(diagrams on this page).
1.
Turn off the boilers gas shut off valve. With a small (1/8" or 3 mm) flat
screwdriver, open the inlet gas supply pressure test port by turning its
center-screw 1 full turn counterclockwise. Attach a manometer to the
pressure test port and turn on gas to appliance. Static manometer reading
should be ideally 7" w.c., for Natural Gas and 11" w.c. for Propane. Minimum
and maximum static pressure should be between 7" and 14" w.c. Monitor
pressure throughout the commissioning procedure. Pressure may droop up
to 1" to 2" w.c. at high fire.
2.
Allow the boiler to ignite / run against a large load, to maintain high fire. Enter
the High Fire Manual Mode by pressing both the Service
and Plus
+
buttons together twice. “H” will be showing in the service display.
NOTE:
Do not make any adjustments if an “h” is showing in the service display.
Allow the boiler to operate at High Fire for 3 minutes to stabilize. (The boiler
will operate in manual mode for 10 minutes then switch back to the normal
operating mode. To extend manual mode operation, press the Service
and Plus
+
together twice while the boiler is operating in manual mode to
reset the timer for 10 more minutes.)
3.
With a combustion analyzer probe in the flue gas test port, turn the High Fire
(Gas : Air Ratio Adjustment) screw
(see diagrams on this page)
to achieve
results This screw offers very fine adjustment, and may require several turns.
NOTE:
Clock the gas meter to confirm full maximum rating plate input. Check
the measured results with Table 10 - High Fire.
4.
Switch the boiler to low fire by pressing both the Service
button and
Minus
-
buttons at the same time. The boiler will drop to low fire. Compare
the readings with Table 10 - Low Fire.
5.
Switch off the boiler by pressing the On/Off
button. Turn off the gas at
the boiler gas shut off valve. Remove the flue gas analyzer from the test port
and reinstall the test port cap. Remove the gas pressure manometer from the
gas valve and close the test port. Turn on the gas at the boilers gas shut off
valve. Ensure there are no gas leaks and reinstall the front cover. Turn on the
boiler by pressing the On/Off
button.

WARNING
Check the rating plate of
the boiler to ensure it is
configured for the fuel
you are using. If the fuel is
incorrect for the appliance,
a conversion kit must be
ordered from IBC and the gas
valve adjusted accordingly.
Failure to perform the
required fuel conversion can
result in an immediate hazard.
