4.2.3 PREPARING THE FLUE VENT
PROBE HOLE

1. If the unit has been installed using the

recommended AL29-4C vent, there will be a
3/8” hole, 18” to 24” above the exhaust
manifold. The outer vent section, that covers
vent section connections must be loosened
and moved to uncover the hole (see
Fig. 4.2).

2. If equipped with one, adjust the stop on the

combustion analyzer probe so that it extends
into the flue gas flow without hitting the
opposite wall of the flue. Do not insert the
probe at this time.

IMPORTANT

The unit is shipped from the factory set up for
either natural gas or propane, as specified by the
Style No. on the Sales Order.

For propane units, refer to paragraph 4.4 for
some additional setup procedures unique to
propane units. The oxygen and carbon
monoxide levels in Tables 1, 2 and 3 apply to
both natural gas and propane. However, it
should be noted that in Table 2 the oxygen and
carbon monoxide levels are measured at 13%
for natural gas and 16% for propane.

4.3 NATURAL GAS COMBUSTION
CALIBRATION

The KC-1000 is shipped combustion calibrated
from the factory. Recalibration as part of a start-
up is necessary due to altitude, gas BTU
content, gas supply piping and supply regulators.
Factory test data sheets are shipped with each
unit as a reference.

The following combustion calibration procedure
closely follows the factory procedure. By
following this procedure, readjustment of the
combustion settings will be kept to a minimum.

1. Open the water supply and return valves to

the unit and ensure that the system pumps
are running.

2. Open the gas supply valve(s) to the unit.

3. If a lockup style regulator is installed as a

gas supply regulator, adjust the gas supply
until a reading of 12” W.C. static pressure is
obtained.

4. Set

the

ON/OFF switch to the OFF position.

Turn on 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 switch. A flashing Manual

Valve Position message will be displayed
with the present Air/Fuel Valve position in %
open. Also, the

MANUAL LED will light.

NOTE:

For a review of control panel operating
procedures

, refer to Section 3.

6. Adjust the Valve Position to 0% by pressing

the

arrow key.

7. Set

the

ON/OFF switch to the ON position.

8. Change the Valve Position to 25% using the

arrow key. This will put the unit into the
starting sequence.
