Combustion Analysis 

Procedure

1.  Turn the main power off to the boiler by placing 

the “On/Off” switch in the OFF position.

2.  Remove the flue temperature sensor from the 

flue collector.  

Note:

  Combustion measurements 

will be made at this point.

3.  Turn the main power on to the boiler by placing 

the “On/Off” switch in the ON position.

4.  Navigate to the Service Screen from the Home 

Screen by pressing the MAIN MENU button and 
then the SERVICE button.       

5.  On the Service Screen place heater into Service 

Mode by selecting the START button, then 
selecting 

Set Gas Valve 1 - High

.  

6.  Insert the probe from a combustion analyzer 

into the hole left by the removal of the flue 
temperature sensor.  

7.  Once the heat exchanger has modulated up 

to rate, measure the combustion.  The values 
should be in the range listed in Table 3I.  CO 
levels should be less than 200 ppm for a properly 
installed unit.  If the combustion is not within 
range reference the Troubleshooting Chart below 
for possible causes and corrective actions. 

Table 3H Troubleshooting Chart - Combustion Levels

POSSIBLE CAUSE

CORRECTIVE ACTION

Vent/Air Intake Length 

or Obstruction

• Refer to Section 2 - General Venting of the Crest Installation and Operation Manual 
  for the proper venting and air intake methods for the Crest boiler.

•  Check for obstructions at the vent/air intake terminals.

Gas Supply Pressure

• Refer to Section 6 - Gas Connections of the Crest Installation and Operation 
  Manual for the proper gas supply for the Crest boiler.

Dirty/Damaged Burner

•  Refer to page 34 of this manual for burner removal and cleaning procedures.

•  Replace burner if necessary.

Gas Valve Adjustment

•  Refer to page 53 of this manual for the gas valve adjustment procedure.

Table 3I Flue Products

8. After 

Gas Valve 1

 is set, repeat the same procedure for the second 

gas train by selecting 

Set Gas Valve 2 - High

 on the Service Screen.

9.   Once the heater analysis is complete, test the safety shutoff device 

by turning the manual shutoff valve to the OFF position and 
ensuring that the heater shuts down and registers an alarm.  Open 
the manual shutoff valve and reset the control. 

10.  Turn the main power off to the boiler and replace the 

 flue temperature sensor into the flue pipe connection.

11.  Place the boiler back into normal operation.

You must replace the flue gas temperature sensor 
to prevent flue gas spillage into the room.  Failure 
to comply could result in severe personal injury, 
death, or substantial property damage.
