6.2 LOW GAS PRESSURE TEST
To simulate a
low gas pressure fault
, refer to Figure 6-1a and perform the following steps:
Figure 6-1a:
Low Gas Pressure Test
Low Gas Pressure Fault Test
1.
Close the leak detection ball valve located at the Low Gas Pressure switch.
2.
Remove the 1/4" NPT plug from the ball valve at the Low Gas Pressure switch.
3.
Install a
0 - 16” W.C.
(
0 – 4.0 kPa
) manometer or gauge where the 1/4" plug was
removed.
4.
Slowly open the ball valve near the Low Gas Pressure switch.
5.
Place the unit in MANUAL mode and adjust the Air/Fuel Valve position (% open)
between
25% and 30%
.
6.
While the unit is firing, slowly close the external manual gas shut-off valve.
7.
The unit should shut down and display a
GAS PRESSURE
fault message at approximately
2.6” W.C.
(
648 Pa
) for both 750 & 1000 units.
8.
Fully open the external manual gas shut-off valve and press the
CLEAR
button on the
Control Box.
9.
The fault message should clear and the
FAULT
indicator should go off. The unit should
restart.
10.
Upon test completion, close the ball valve and remove the manometer. Replace the 1/4"
NPT plug removed in step 2.
