HIGH GAS PRESSURE TEST: BMK3000
–
6000 Only
To simulate a high gas pressure fault, refer to Figure 5-4a and 5-4b and perform the following
steps:
HIGH Gas Pressure Test Instructions: BMK3000
– 6000 ONLY
1.
Shut off the
external
gas supply by closing the external gas supply ball valve.
2.
Locate the port on the side of the
High Gas Pressure
switch and loosen the screw in the port a few
turns to open it.
Do not completely remove the screw.
Alternatively, you can remove the 1/4-inch
plug shown in Figure 5-4a and 5-4b and install a hose barb fitting in that location.
3.
Attach one end of the plastic tubing to the port or barb fitting and the other end to
a 0
– 16” W.C. (0
– 4.0 kPa)
manometer.
4.
Apply the reading of the manifold pressure taken in Step 21 of Section 4.4.1 (natural gas units) or
Step 21 of Section 4.4.2 (propane units) and plug it into the following formula, which calculates the
maximum
allowable gas pressure:
BMK3000
Natural Gas Pressure
→
______ x 1.5 = ______ max gas pressure
BMK4000
Natural Gas Pressure
→
______ x 1.5 = ______ max gas pressure
BMK5000 &
6000
Natural Gas Pressure
→
______ x 1.5 = ______ max gas pressure
Propane Gas Pressure
→
______ x 1.5 = ______ max gas pressure
5.
Remove the cover from the High Gas Pressure switch and
set the dial indicator to 20
(the
maximum).
6.
Open the
external
gas supply ball valve upstream of the unit.
