IMPORTANT
Setting the maximum firing rate during mild weather
conditions may cause the high limit to trip out during
extreme conditions requiring manual resetting.
NOTE
Gas trains are equipped with either separate
regulators and modulating valves or with a combined
modulating valve.
NOTE
Clockwise rotation increases the temperature rise,
counterclockwise rotation decreases the temperature
rise.
NOTE
The minimum setting for the maximum firing rate
may be higher than required. This is acceptable. The
burner will modulate as needed.
Set the Minimum Firing Rate
Disconnect and isolate one of the wires running to the
modulating valve to send the unit to its minimum firing
rate. Set the minimum firing rate by adjusting the needle
valve indicated.
After setting the minimum firing rate, shut off the pilot
to ensure that the flame safeguard can still read the
main flame signal. Reconnect the wire to the modulation
valve and open the pilot shut-off valve.

IMPORTANT
The proper minimum firing rate setting results in a
small ribbon of continuous flame which covers the
flame rod and runs across the entire burner.
IMPORTANT
Do not allow the disconnected wire to come in
contact with a potential ground. Damage to the
amplifier or transformer could result.
IMPORTANT
On units with a 42 inch or greater burner, the flame
safeguard will automatically shut off the pilot after the
burner has been ignited.
NOTE
Gas trains are equipped with either separate
regulators and modulating valves or with a combined
modulating regulator.
NOTE
Adjusting the maximum and minimum firing rate
requires the inlet air sensor to be set higher than the
outdoor air temperature in order to start the burner(s).
Once high and low fire have been set, the inlet air
sensor should be set to the desired temperature.
NOTE
Counterclockwise rotation increases the minimum fire
rate setting, clockwise rotation decreases the setting.
