SAFETY DEVICE TESTING

3. Slowly open the ball valve at the high gas

pressure switch.

4. Start the unit in Manual mode at a firing rate

between 25 and 30%.

5. Using a flat-tip screwdriver, slowly increase

the gas pressure by turning the SSOV
regulator adjustment screw clockwise.

6. The unit should shut down and display a

HIGH GAS PRESSURE fault message
when the gas pressure exceeds 4.7” W.C.
The FAULT indicator should also start
flashing.

7. Reduce the gas pressure back to 2.7” W.C.

and replace the hex head cap on the SSOV
regulator.

8. Press

the

CLEAR button on the Control Box

to clear the fault.

9. The fault message should clear and the

FAULT indicator should go off. The unit
should restart.

10. Upon test completion, close the ball valve

and remove the manometer. Replace the
1/8“ plug removed in step 1.

6.4 LOW WATER LEVEL FAULT TEST

To simulate a low water level fault:

1. Set

the

ON/OFF switch on the Control Box

to the OFF position.

2. Close the water shut-off valves in the supply

and return piping to the unit.

3. Slowly open the drain valve on the rear of

the unit. If necessary, the unit’s relief valve
may be opened to aid in draining.

4. Continue draining the unit until a LOW

WATER LEVEL fault message is displayed
and the FAULT indicator flashes.

5. Place the unit in the Manual Mode and raise

the firing rate above 30%.

6. Set

the

ON/OFF switch to the ON position.

The READY light should remain off and the
unit should not start. If the unit does start,
shut the unit off immediately and refer fault
to qualified service personnel.

7. Close the drain and pressure relief valve

used in draining the unit.

8. Open the water shut-off valve in the return

piping to the unit.

9. Open the water supply shut-off valve to the

unit to refill.

10. After the shell is full, press the LOW

WATER LEVEL RESET button to reset the
low water cutoff.

11. Press the CLEAR button to reset the

FAULT LED and clear the displayed error
message.

12. Set the ON/OFF switch to the ON position.

The unit is now ready for operation.

6.5 HIGH WATER TEMPERATURE
FAULT TEST

A high water temperature fault is simulated by
adjusting the automatic over-temperature switch.
This switch is accessible from the front of the
unit as shown in Figure 6-2.

1. Start the unit in the normal operating mode.

Allow the unit to stabilize at its setpoint.

2. Lower the adjustable temperature limit

switch setting to match the displayed
OUTLET TEMPERATURE.

3. Once the adjustable over-temperature

switch setting is approximately at, or just
below, the actual outlet water temperature,
the unit should shut down. The FAULT
indicator should start flashing and a HIGH
WATER TEMP SWITCH OPEN
fault
message should be displayed. It should not
be possible to restart the unit.

4. Reset the adjustable temperature limit

switch to its original setting.

5. The unit should start once the adjustable

temperature limit switch setting is above the
actual outlet water temperature.
