important
Proper air velocity over the burner is critical on direct fired gas units. If the air velocity is not within the unit specifications, the unit will not operate efficiently, may have sporadic shutdowns and may produce excessive carbon monoxide (CO) or other gases.

5. Set the Low Fire Time Delay
Set the low fire time delay to 75% of its maximum setting. See below for location of the time delay setting.
6. Set the Maximum Firing Rate
Monitor the unit’s actual temperature rise by placing a thermocouple in the unit’s inlet and a second in the discharge, three duct diameters downstream of the burner.
Send the unit to maximum fire by disconnecting and isolating the proper wire on the Maxitrol 14 amplifier.
While monitoring the units temperature rise, set the maximum firing rate by adjusting the separate regulator or combined regulator (shown on page 13) until the designed temperature rise is achieved. After setting the maximum firing rate, reconnect the wire to the amplifier.

Do not set the burner maximum firing rate based on gas pressure. It should be set based on the unit’s designed temperature rise shown on the direct gas label.
