Combustion efficiency is determined by the percent CO2 and the tem- perature of the flue gases. These two measurements are taken on the vent. Combustion efficiency and stack loss calculators are available from several manufacturers of combustion test equipment.
IMPORTANT: DRAFT - When installing Wayne power conversion gas burners in oil fired furnaces a minimum negative draft of .01” w.c. (0.0025 kPa) over fire must be maintained.
Refer to your local gas company and codes for assistance.
3.Perform the following combustion analysis. All adjustments below must be made with the following instruments: draft gauge, 02 or CO2 analyzer and CO tester.
a.Adjust the primary air damper to provide about 25% excess combustion air. Confirm this by checking the flue gas for its FREE OXYGEN (O2) or CARBON DIOXIDE (CO2) PER- CENTAGES with a test instrument. Free oxygen should be about 4.5%, or carbon dioxide should be about 9.5% for natu- ral gas, 12.1% for propane gas.
b.CARBON MONOXIDE - Should be checked for its presence in the flue gas. This percentage should not exceed .04% (or 400 PPM).
NOTE: Check overfire draft and adjust to NEGATIVE
OPERATION AND TROUBLESHOOTING
SEQUENCE OF OPERATION —
On a call for heat, voltage (24V) is applied to motor start relay and air switch. Once the fan motor reaches operating rpm, combustion air pres- sure is sensed by the air proving switch and closes the switch contacts energizing the S89F gas primary control.
The S87K gas primary control has an internal 30 second prepurge timer. After the initial 30 second prepurge, an internal 8 second safe start check of the S89F will commence. Once this is successfully com- pleted, the S87K simultaneously energizes the gas valve and ignition transformer. Gas flows and the transformer produces an approximate 7300 volt spark end point grounded at the burner head establishing main burner flame.
At the start of each heat cycle, there is a trial for an ignition period of a four (4) second duration. Normally, burner flame will be established before the end of this period. Once the flame is established, sparking will cease and the flame rod will provide flame monitoring to the S87K gas control primary for the remainder of the heat cycle. If the flame should be extinguished during the heat cycle, the S87K gas control pri- mary will go into the 30 second prepurge and 8 second safe start check, then
To restart the system, the main power or thermostat must be
