checking the input
for appliance installation locations with elevations above 2000
feet, refer to HiGH ALTiTuDe iNSTALLATioNS section of this
manual for input reduction procedure.
1. Attach a pressure gauge or a manometer to the manifold
pres sure tap on the gas valve and refe r to Tabl e 10, fo r cor rect
manifold pressure.
2. use this fo rmula to “clock” the meter. Be sure that other gas
consuming appliances are not operating during this inte rval.
(3600/T) x H = Btuh
T = Time in seconds to burn one cubic foot of gas.
H = Btu’s per cubic foot of gas.
Btuh = Actual heater input.
example: (using BCG3 100T250 6NoX heater)
T = 15.1 seconds
H = 1050 Btu
Btuh = ?
(3600/15.1) x 1050 = 250,000 (C ompare wit h BCG3 100T2 50
6NoX model and rating.)
Should it be necessary to adjust the gas pressur e to the
burners to obtain th e full input rate, t he steps below should
be followed:
3. Remove the regulator adjustment sealing c ap and adjust the
pressure by turning the adjusting screw with a screwdriver. See
figure 25.
Clockwise to increase gas pressure and input rate.
Counterclockwise to decrease gas pressure and input rate.
4. “Clock” the meter as in step 2 above.
5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 until the specied input rate is achieved.
6. Turn the gas control knob to Pi LoT. Remove the pressure
gauge and replace the sealing cap and the Allen wrench set
screw in the pressure tap opening.
