It must be ensured that the 2 test times are correctly set. It is to be checked whether the
gas required for the test may be fed into the combustion chamber (on the relevant
application). The test times are safety-related. After a reset and in the case of aborted or
prevented valve proving, the unit performs valve proving on the next startup (only when
valve proving is activated). Prepurging with valve proving is active during the startup
phase, even if it was deactivated.
Examples of aborted valve proving:
When the safety loop or the start prevention input for gas (containing pressure switch-
min) opens during valve proving.

Step 1: t80 – evacuation of test space.
Gas valve on the burner side is opened to bring the test space to
atmospheric pressure.
Step 2: t81 – test time atmospheric pressure.
When the gas valve has closed, the gas pressure in the test space must
not exceed a certain level.
Step 3: t82 – filling of test space.
Gas valve on the mains side opens to fill the test space.
Step 4: t83 – test time gas pressure.
When the gas valve has closed, the gas pressure in the test space must
not drop below a certain level.
