Weekly
For
1.Check igniter. (Resistance reading should be 42- 70 ohms at ambient temperature.)
2.Check flame signal strength. (Flame signal should be greater than 1 microamp).
3.Check flame failure detection system. (See “Post
4.Check firing rate control by checking the manifold pressure. (See “Main Burner Adjustment” on page 46.)
5.Make auditory and visual check of main fuel valves.
Monthly
1.Check flue, vent, stack, or outlet dampers.
2.Test fan air pressure. (See “Blower Adjustment” on page 46.)
3.Test high and low gas pressure interlocks (if equipped). (See “Safety Inspection” on page 47.)
Semi-Annually
1.Recalibrate all indicating and recording gauges.
2.Check flame failure detection system components. (See “Pilot
3.Check firing rate control by checking the manifold pressure. (See “Main Burner Adjustment” on page 46.)
4.Check piping and wiring of all interlocks and shut- off valves.
5.Inspect burners.
Annually
1.Test flame failure detection system and pilot turn- down. (See “Pilot
2.Test high limit and operating temperature. (See “Post
3.Check flame sensors.
4.Conduct a combustion test at full fire. Carbon di- oxide should be 7.5 to 8.5% at full fire for natural gas, and between 9.2 to 9.8% for propane gas; Carbon monoxide should be < 150 ppm).
5.Check coils for 60 cycle hum or buzz. Check for leaks at all valve fittings using a soapy water solu- tion. Test other operating parts of all safety
6.Perform leakage test on gas valves. (See Fig. 41.)
7.Test air switch in accordance with manufacturer’s instructions. (Turn panel switch to the “On” posi- tion until blower is proven, then turn the switch to “Off”.
As Required
1.Recondition or replace low water
2.Check drip leg and gas strainers.
3.Perform flame failure detection and pilot turn- down tests.
4.Test safety/safety relief valves in accordance with ASME Heater and Pressure Vessel Code Sections VI and VII.
