(d) By referring to the Sequence of Operations
step-by-step operation of the system can
be controlled and the cause of pilot failure
can be readily found. After the cause of
the pilot failure has been corrected, resume
normal operation by following the Lighting
Instructions.
(3) SHUTDOWN INSTRUCTIONS
(a) Close manual shut-off valves and pilot
valves.
(b) Turn off main electric switch.
8. EPCONTROLSYSTEM–5015Bthru5026B
The5015Bthru5026BboilersutilizetwoEPcontrol
systems that are interconnected electrically thru all
operating and safety controls. Should any of the
aforementioned controls break the power supply circuit,
both EP control systems would be de-energized. The
succeeding paragraphs describe the function and
operation of each EP Control System. Should a pilot
failure on one EP Control System occur, the other EP
Control System would not be affected. Thus main
burners on the unaffected side would ignite on a “call
for heat” and would continue to operate until the
operatingcontrolwassatised.

a. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
(1) Make sure all Manual Main Shut-off Valves and
allPilotValveshavebeenoffforatleastve
minutes.
(2) Set Operating and Limit Controls to desired
setting.
(3) Turn all Manual Main Shut-off Valves and Pilot
Valves to Open Position.
(4) Turn on Main Electric Switch and Service
Switch. Pilots will automatically light main
burners.
Proceed to Paragraph 15- Minimum Input
Adjustments (for diaphragm “Lo-Hi-Lo” or
motorized type gas valves)
