11.If unit does not light first time (gas line not fully purged) it will attempt up to two more ignitions before locking out.

12.If lockout occurs, repeat steps 1 through 9.

13.If appliance still will not operate, follow the instructions “TO TURN OFF GAS TO UNIT” and call your service technician or gas supplier.

TO TURN OFF GAS TO UNIT

1.Set thermostat to lowest level.

2.Turn off all electrical power to unit if service is to be performed.

3.Rotate black knob to OFF position.

HEATING SEQUENCE OF OPERATION

1.When the thermostat calls for heat, the combustion air blower starts immediately.

2.Combustion air pressure switch proves blower operation before allowing power to the ignition controller. This switch is factory set and no adjustment is necessary.

3.After pre-purge of approximately 30 seconds, the spark ignition is energized and the solenoid valves open in the gas valve.

4.The spark then ignites the gas, the ignition sensor proves the flame and the combustion process continues.

5.In the event that the flame is not detected after the first

10-second trial for ignition, the controller will repeat steps

3 and 4 an additional two times before locking out the gas valve. Ignition control will then automatically repeat steps 3, 4, and 5 after 60 minutes.

To interrupt the 60-minute lockout period, move thermostat from “Heat” to “OFF” then back to “HEAT.” Heating sequence then restarts at step 1.

6.The burners shall light without noticeable crossover delay. There shall be no flame lifting from the burner heads,

flashback or burning within the burner. The flames shall be predominantly blue in color and shall be approximately centered in the tubes with no apparent impingement taking place.

7.The ignition control will energize the fan approximately 45 seconds after ignition is established.

8.After the thermostat demand is satisfied the gas valve is closed; 5 seconds after the demand is satisfied the combustion air blower is shut off.

9.The control center shall shut off the system fan approximately 150 seconds after the gas valve is de-energized.

IGNITION CONTROL LED

The ignition control board contains a green LED which indicates the following:

ADJUSTMENTS

HIGH ALTITUDE

Units may be fired at full input up to 2000 ft. (610m) above sea level. Above 2000 ft. (610m), manifold pressure must be adjusted on some units. Adjust pressure regulator to pressure shown in table 4 for natural gas and table 5 for LP/propane gas.

GAS FLOW

To check for proper gas flow to the combustion chamber, determine the Btu input from the appliance rating plate. Divide this input rating by the Btu per cubic feet of available gas. Result is the required number of cubic feet per hour. Determine the flow of gas through the gas meter for two minutes and multiply by 30 to get the hourly flow of gas.
