INITIAL START-UP
5.1 Initial Start-Up Requirements
•
Complete installation instructions SECTION 2:, including gas supply piping, vent
installation and condensate drain piping. Starting a unit without the proper piping, venting, or
electrical systems can be dangerous and may void the product warranty.
•
Set proper controls and limits (see Section 6:
Advanced Setup
in the
Edge Controller
Manual
, OMM-0161).
PVI recommends that the
Standby Blower Voltage
parameter be kept at 2.00 volts (the default
set at the factory) to prevent flue gas recirculation. To check, go to
Main Menu
→
Advanced
Setup
→
Performance
→
Fire Control
→
Operating Control
and verify the
Standby Blower
Voltage
parameter is set to
2.00 V
. However, individually vented units in positive pressure
Water Heater rooms may set Standby Blower Voltage between 2.00 and 0 volts to compensate.
