4.4 NATURAL GAS COMBUSTION CALIBRATION
The Benchmark 1.5LN Boiler is combustion calibrated at the factory prior to shipping. However,
recalibration as part of initial start-up is necessary due to changes in the local altitude, gas BTU
content, gas supply piping and supply regulators. Factory Test Data sheets are shipped with
each unit. These sheets must be filled out and returned to AERCO for proper Warranty
Validation.
It is important to perform the following procedure as outlined. This will keep readjustments to a
minimum and provide optimum performance.
1. Open the water supply and return valves to the unit and ensure that the system pumps
are running.
2. Open the natural gas supply valve(s) to the unit.
3. Set the control panel ON/OFF switch to the OFF position.
4. Turn on external AC power to the unit. The display will show LOSS OF POWER and the
time and date.
5. Set the unit to the Manual Mode by pressing the AUTO/MAN key. A flashing Manual
Valve Position message will be displayed with the present rate in %. Also, the MANUAL
LED will light.
6. Adjust the air/fuel valve position to 0% by pressing the ▼ arrow key.
7. Ensure that the leak detection ball valve down-stream of the SSOV is open.
8. Set the ON/OFF switch to the ON position.
9. Change the valve position to 29% using the ▲ arrow key. The unit should begin its start
sequence and fire.
10. Next, verify that the gas pressure downstream of the SSOV is 3” W.C. for both FM and
IRI gas trains. If gas pressure adjustment is required, remove the brass hex nut on the
downstream SSOV actuator (IRI gas train) to access the gas pressure adjustment screw
(Figure 4-4). Make gas pressure adjustments using a flat-tip screwdriver to obtain 3”
W.C.
