4.3 NATURAL GAS COMBUSTION CALIBRATION
The Benchmark 2.0LN Dual-Fuel Boiler is combustion calibrated at the factory prior to shipping.
However, recalibration as part of initial start-up is necessary due to changes in the local altitude,
gas BTU content, gas supply piping and supply regulators. Factory Test Data sheets are
shipped with each unit. These sheets must be filled out and returned to AERCO for proper
Warranty Validation.
It is important to perform the following procedure as outlined. This will keep readjustments to a
minimum and provide optimum performance.
1. Open the water supply and return valves to the unit and ensure that the system pumps
are running.
2. Open the natural gas supply valve(s) to the unit.
3. Set the control panel
ON/OFF
switch to the
OFF
position.
4. Turn on external AC power to the unit. The display will show
LOSS OF POWER
and the
time and date.
5. Set the unit to the Manual Mode by pressing the
AUTO/MAN
key. A flashing
Manual
Valve Position
message will be displayed with the present rate in %. Also, the
MANUAL
LED will light.
6. Adjust the air/fuel valve position to 0% by pressing the
▼ arrow key.
7. Ensure that the leak detection ball valve down-stream of the SSOV is open (Figure 4-1).
8. Ensure that the Fuel Selector Switch (Figure 4-5) is in the NATURAL GAS position.
