Installation
___________________________________
Burner operation depends on the unit control setup in which the HMA-2 & 2A burner is used. A
typical setup should consist of a Flame Safety Control with appropriate air fl ow proving system and
a Modulating Gas Control System.
1. Verify the pressure across the burner. The pressure across the burner can be measured by
placing two static pressure probes, one downstream and one upstream of the profi le opening
and measure the differential pressure. The pressure should be within burner operating
specifi cations and within the expected calculated pressure. See Chart 2
2. With the burner off check the Flame Safety Air Proving System
a. Check the operation of the air proving system for low and high airfl ow setting. Refer to
the Specifi cations of the Flame Safety Control for setup instructions and air switch
operational characteristics.
