Post Start-Up Check
Check off steps as completed:
1. Verify that the heater and heat distribution units or
storage tank are filled with water.
2. Confirm that the automatic air vent (if used) was
opened two full turns during the venting proce-
dure.
3. Verify that air has been purged from the system.
4. Verify that air has been purged from the gas pip-
ing, and that the piping has been checked for
leaks.
5. Confirm that the proper start-up procedures were
followed.
6. Inspect burner to verify flame.
7. Test safety controls: If heater is equipped with a
low water cut-off or additional safety controls, test
for operation as outlined by manufacturer. Burner
should be operating and should go off when con-
trols are tested. When safety devices are restored,
burners should re-ignite after pre-purge time
delay.
8. Test limit control: While burner is operating, move
indicator on high limit control below actual water
temperature. Burner should go off while blower
and circulator continue to operate. Raise setting
on limit control above water temperature and
burner should re-ignite after pre-purge time delay.
NOTE: Ignition control may have to be reset
after this portion of the test.
9. Test ignition system safety device:
a. Open manual gas valve. Turn power on.
b. Set thermostat to call for heat.
c. When the heater is in operation, pull the hoses
off of the air switch. The burner should shut off
almost immediately.
d. Reattach hoses. Burner should re-ignite after
pre-purge time delay. NOTE: Ignition control
may have to be reset after this portion of
the test.
10. To restart system, follow lighting instructions in the
Operation section.
11. Check to see that the high limit control is set
above the design temperature requirements of the
system. For multiple zones: Check to make sure
the flow is adjusted as required in each zone.
12. Check that the heater is cycled with the thermo-
stat. Raise the setting on the thermostat to the
highest setting and verify that the heater goes
through the normal start-up cycle. Reduce to the
lowest setting and verify that the heater goes off.
13. Observe several operating cycles for proper oper-
ation.
14. Set the heater thermostat to desired temperature.
15. Review all instructions shipped with this heater
with owner or maintenance person, return to enve-
lope and give to owner or place the instructions
