INITIAL START-UP
14. Use a flat-tip screwdriver to adjust the
differential pressure regulator. Turn the
screwdriver:
• counterclockwise to increase the
oxygen level
• clockwise to decrease the oxygen level
15. Replace the regulator cap and cap gasket
and wait for the analyzer reading to settle.
16. When the analyzer reading settles, compare
the new oxygen reading to Table 4.
17. If necessary, repeat the adjustment until the
oxygen level is within the range specified in
Table 4.
18. Replace the regulator cap and cap gasket.
NOTE:
Adjust only the differential regulator at 30%
control signal; do not adjust the air shutter.
19. Once the oxygen level is within the specified
range at 30%, change the valve position to
16%.
20. Oxygen levels at the 16% valve position
should be as shown in Table 5. Also, ensure
that the CO and NOx readings do not
exceed the values shown. No adjustment
should be necessary. Contact AERCO if the
oxygen, CO or NOx levels are not within the
specified ranges.

NOTE:
At a 100% valve position, the KC1000 will not
operate reliably at inlet air temperatures below
55°F if the Cold Air Damper (P/N 99026) is not
installed. See paragraphs 2.8.2 and 2.8.3.
21. Change the valve position to 100% and allow
the combustion analyzer to settle. If the
optional Cold Air Damper (P/N 99026) is
installed, compare the measured oxygen
level with the levels in Table 6. If the Cold Air
Damper is not installed, compare the oxygen
levels with the readings in Table 6A.

21. If the measured oxygen reading is below the
oxygen range in Table 6 (or 6A), loosen the
two bolts that secure the inlet air shutter to
the unit using a 7/16” wrench (see
Figure 4.4). Open the shutter 1/4” to 1/2” to
increase the oxygen level, then tighten the
nuts.
