Low fire start with high turndown option:
Main gas
shut-off
valve train
1. Drive control motor to low fire.
2. Be sure combustion air blower is running.
3. Verify bias adjusting screw 1 on ratio-regulator spring column is
six full clockwise turns (360° x 6) down from top (initial setting).
4. Open main gas manual shut off valves.
5.
Close internal bypass adjusting screw 2 by turning it
clockwise to closed position.
6. Set system control to stay at low fire during and after ignition
sequence.
7.
Attempt to ignite burner.
8. If burner does not ignite:
a. Attempt to ignite burner again to purge air from the gas
piping.
b. If burner still does not ignite, turn bias adjusting screw 1 a
half turn clockwise to increase gas flow.
c. Attempt to ignite burner.
d. Repeat steps b and c until burner ignites. If necessary, refer
to Chapter 5 for troubleshooting tips.
9. After burner ignites, slowly decrease gas flow with bias adjusting
screw 1. Decrease gas flow until the flame signal becomes
erratic. (Refer to flame monitoring relay literature for a
description of an erratic flame signal.)
10. If burner has gone out:
Repeat ignition sequence. Turn internal bypass adjusting screw 2
a half turn counterclockwise to increase gas flow at each attempt
until burner lights.
11. Flame signal strength:
Adjust gas flow with internal bypass adjusting screw 2 for lowest
gas flow that maintains a stable flame signal:
• counterclockwise, for more fuel
• clockwise, for less fuel.
Note:
If viewing the flame, it should be blue with flashes of yellow. The
flame should be completely within the combustion tube. When
firing propane or butane, a proper low fire flame may have
sustained flashes of yellow.
12. Verify low fire flame:
a. Shut off gas. When chamber temperature is below 250°F
(121°C), shut off combustion air blower.
b. Restart combustion air blower and ignite burner.
c. Verify repeatability of ignition and low fire flame signal.
Step3: Ignite the burner
