SAFETY DEVICE TESTING
6.6 INTERLOCK TESTS
The unit is equipped with two interlock circuits 
called the Remote Interlock and Delayed Inter-
lock. Terminal connections for these circuits are 
located in the I/O Box and are labeled REMOTE 
INTL’K IN and DELAYED INTL’K IN. These 
circuits can shut down the unit in the event that 
an interlock is opened. These interlocks are 
shipped from the factory jumped (closed). 
However, each of these interlocks may be 
utilized in the field as a remote stop and start, an 
emergency cut-off, or to prove that a device such 
as a pump gas booster, or louver is operational. 
6.6.1 REMOTE INTERLOCK
1. Remove the cover from the I/O Box and
locate the REMOTE INTL’K IN terminals.
 
2. Start the unit in the manual mode and fire at 
a 25% to 30% valve position.
 
3. If there is a jumper across the REMOTE 
INTL’K IN terminals, remove one side of the 
jumper. If the interlock is being controlled by 
an external device, either open the interlock 
via the external device or disconnect one of 
the wires leading to the external device. 
 
4. The unit should shut down and display 
INTERLOCK OPEN.
 
5. Once the interlock connection is recon-
nected, the INTERLOCK OPEN message 
should automatically clear and the unit 
should resume running. 
6.6.2 DELAYED INTERLOCK
1. Remove the cover from the I/O Box and
locate the DELAYED INTL’K IN terminals.
 
2. Start the unit in the manual mode and fire at 
a 25% to 30% valve position.
 
3. If there is a jumper across the DELAYED 
INTL’K IN terminals, remove one side of the 
jumper. If the interlock is connected to a 
proving switch of an external device, 
disconnect one of the wires leading to the 
proving switch. 
 
4. The unit should shut down and display 
DELAYED INTERLOCK OPEN. The FAULT 
LED should be flashing. 
 
5. Once the interlock connection is recon-
nected, depress the CLEAR button. The unit 
should start. 
6.7 FLAME FAULT TEST
1. Place the ON/OFF switch in the OFF
position.
 
2. Place the unit in the Manual Mode and set 
the valve position between 25% and 30%.
 
3. Close the manual leak detection valve 
located between the safety shut-off valve 
and the differential regulator (see Fig. 6.4).
 
4. Start the unit.
 
5. The unit should shut down after reaching the 
Ignition cycle and display FLAME LOSS 
DURING IGN.
 
6. Open the valve previously closed in step 3 
and depress the CLEAR button.
 
7. Restart the unit and allow it to prove flame. 
 
8. Once flame is proven, close the manual leak 
detection valve located between the safety 
shut-off valve and the differential regulator. 
 
9. The unit should shut down and execute an 
IGNITION RETRY cycle by performing the 
following steps: 
(a) The unit will execute a shutdown purge
cycle for a period of 15 seconds and 
display WAIT FAULT PURGE. 
(b) The unit will execute a 30 second re-
ignition delay and display WAIT RETRY 
PAUSE. 
(c) The unit will then execute a standard
ignition sequence and display WAIT 
IGNITION RETRY. 
10. Since the manual gas shutoff valve is still
closed, the unit will shut down and display 
FLAME LOSS DURING IGNITION following 
the IGNITION RETRY cycle. 
11. Open the valve previously closed in step 8
and depress the CLEAR button. The unit 
should restart and fire.
