Calibration of air and gas pressure switches
The
air pressure switch
locks the control box if the air pressure is not the one requested. If it happens, unlock the burner by means of
the control box unlock pushbutton, placed on the burner control panel.
The
gas pressure switches
check the pressure to avoid the burner operate when the pressure value is not in the requested pressure
range.
Calibration of air pressure switch
To calibrate the air pressure switch, proceed as follows:
Remove the transparent plastic cap.
Once air and gas setting have been accomplished, startup the burner.
During the pre-purge phase o the operation, turn slowly the adjusting ring nut
VR
in the clockwise direction until the burner lockout,
then read the value on the pressure switch scale and set it to a value reduced by 15%.
Repeat the ignition cycle of the burner and check it runs properly.
Refit the transparent plastic cover on the pressure switch.
Calibration of low gas pressure switch
As for the gas pressure switch calibration, proceed as follows:
Remove the transparent plastic cap.
While the burner is operating at the maximum output, test the gas pressure on the low gas pressure switch port.
Slowly close the manual shut-off valve (placed upstream the pressure switch, see gas train installation diagram), until the measu-
red pressure is reduced by 50%. Pay attention that the CO value in the flue gas does not increase.
Check that the burner is operating correctly.
Screw down the pressure switch adjusting ring nut until the burner lockout.
Fully open the manual shut-off valve.
Refit the transparent plastic cover on the pressure switch.
Adjusting the maximum gas pressure switch (when provided)
To calibrate the maximum pressure switch, proceed as follows according to its mounting position:
1
remove the pressure switch plastic cover;
2
if the maximum pressure switch is mounted upstreaam the gas valves: measure the gas pressure in the network, when flame is off;
by means of the adjusting ring nut
VR
, set the value read, increased by the 30%.
3
if the maximum pressure switch is mounted downstream the “gas governor-gas valves” group and upstream the butterfly valve:
light the burner, adjust it according to the procedure in the previous paragrph. Then, measure the gas pressure at the operating
flow rate, downstream the “gas governor-gas valves” group and upstream the butterfly valve; by means of the adjusting ring nut
VR
, set the value read on step 2, increased by the 30%;
4
replace the plastic cover.
PGCP Gas leakage pressure switch (witn Siemens LDU burner control/Siemens LMV Burner Management
System)
remove the pressure switch plastic cover;
adjust the PGCP pressure switch to the same value set for the minimum gas pressure switch;
replace the plastic cover.
