!CAUTION

To prevent electrical shock and/or equipment damage, disconnect electrical power to system at main fuse or circuit breaker box until installation is complete.

NOTE

All wiring should be installed in accordance with local and national electrical codes and ordinances.

Always check that the electrical power supply used agrees with the voltage and frequency shown on the gas control.

The typical wiring diagrams (figs. 3 & 4) show only the terminal identification and/or wiring hook up. Always refer to wiring instructions provided by Equipment Manufac- turer for system hookup operation.

PILOT GAS ADJUSTMENT

If the pilot flame is low and does not engulf the bulb of the mercury flame sensor, the system will not energize the main valve. If pilot gas pressure is too high, gas will sputter past the ignition electrode, and may not ignite. High pilot gas pressure may also cause the flame to lift off the burner, causing the flame sensor bulb to sense “low” heat.

To adjust the pilot gas pressure, remove the cover screw (see fig. 5). To REDUCE pilot pressure, turn the pilot adjust screw (beneath the cover screw) clockwise. To INCREASE pilot pressure, turn the pilot adjust screw counterclockwise. Replace and tighten cover screw.

PRESSURE REGULATOR

ADJUSTMENT

The pressure regulator has been factory adjusted (see control for specific setting). Although additional adjust- ments will not normally be necessary, you may adjust the regulator. Do not force the adjusting screw beyond the limits that it can easily be adjusted.

1.Energize valve to ignite main burner.

2.Remove “Reg. Adj.” cover screw (see fig. 6).

3.To DECREASE outlet pressure, turn the adjusting screw (beneath the cover screw) counterclockwise. To INCREASE outlet pressure, turn the adjusting screw clockwise.

4.Replace the cover screw. Cycle the valve two or three times to verify regulator setting.

NOTE

If adjustment to higher range (4.2” W.C. to 11.0” W.C.) is required, use conversion kit packed with control.
