PROPANE Combustion Calibration – Continued
12. With the valve position at 100%, insert the combustion analyzer probe into the flue probe
opening and allow enough time for the combustion analyzer reading to stabilize.
13. Compare the oxygen readings on the combustion analyzer to the on-board O
2
sensor
value displayed in the Operating Menu of the C-More Control Panel. If the values differ by
more than ±1.5% and your combustion analyzer is correctly calibrated, the on-board O2
sensor may be defective and need to be replaced.
14. Compare the measured oxygen level to the oxygen range shown below. Also, ensure that
the nitrogen oxide (NOx) and carbon monoxide (CO) readings do not exceed the values
shown. If you are not in a “NOx-limited” area and/or do not have a NOx measurement in
your analyzer, set the oxygen (O
2
) at 4.5% ± 0.5%.

15. If the oxygen level is not within the required tolerance, the gas pressure on the
downstream side of the SSOV must be adjusted using the gas pressure adjustment screw
on the SSOV (Figure 4-3). Slowly rotate the gas pressure adjustment (approximately 1/4-
turn increments). Allow the combustion analyzer to stabilize following each adjustment.
Clockwise rotation reduces the oxygen level, while counterclockwise rotation increases
the oxygen level.
16. Once the oxygen level is within the specified range at 100%, record the O
2
, NOx and CO
readings on the Combustion Calibration Data Sheets provided with the unit.
17. Lower the valve position to 80% using the ▼arrow key.
NOTE
The remaining combustion calibration steps are performed using
the Combustion Cal Menu included in the C-More Control System.
The combustion calibration control functions will be used to adjust
the oxygen level (%) at valve positions of 80%, 60%, 45%, 30%
and 18% (on the BMK 1500DF only) or 16% (on the BMK 2000DF
only), as described below. These steps assume that the inlet air
temperature is within the range of 50°F to 100°F. If NOx readings
exceed the target values shown, increase the O
2
level up to 1%
higher than the listed calibration range. Record the increased O
2
value on the Combustion Calibration sheet.
18. Press the MENU key on the front panel of the C-MORE and access the Setup menu.
Enter password 6817 and then press the ENTER key.
19. Press the MENU key on the front panel of the C-MORE until Combustion Cal Menu
appears on the display.
20. Press the ▲ arrow key until SET Valve Position appears on the display.
21. Press the CHANGE key. SET Valve Position will begin to flash.
22. Press the ▲ arrow key until the SET Valve Position reads 80%. Press the ENTER key.
