|
| • Check for proper electrical grounding of the unit. |
|
| • Check incoming supply gas pressure. Natural gas |
|
| pressures should be between 4 - 14 inches w.c. and |
|
| LP gas pressures should be between 8 - 14 inches w.c. |
|
| Refer to Section 7 - Gas Connections of the Knight |

|
| • Verify that the plastic hose from the gas valve to the air |
|
| inlet is connected and is not damaged. |
|
| • Verify that the vent/air intake pipes are correctly |
|
| installed and that there are no obstructions. |
|
| • Check for 24 vac to the gas valve at the |

| measure voltage at that point. The main control board | |
|
| |
|
| can detect if the gas valve is not connected and will |

|
| • If 24 vac is present, check the outlet of the valve to |
|
| ensure the valve is flowing gas. With a manometer |
|
| connected to the outlet tap of the gas valve, when the |
|
| unit is in the prepurge period, there should be a |
|
| negative pressure present. When the valve is |
|
| energized a change in pressure should occur. If the |
|
| pressure change does not occur, the gas valve is not |
|
| opening. Replace the gas valve. |
|
| • Inspect flame sensor and associated wiring. |
