4. Connect an ohmmeter across the blower
proof switch and start the unit.
5. The blower proof switch should show
continuity while the blower is running.
6. If the blower proof switch does not show
continuity, remove the switch and check for 
signs of blockage. If there is blockage, clean 
the switch and retest. 
 
7. If the blower proof switch shows continuity, 
disconnect AC power to the unit.
 
8. Disconnect the 15 pin connector from the 
control panel.
 
9. Referring to system schematic 161413 in 
Appendix H, locate wires #17 and #24 and 
check both for continuity. 
 
10. Check the switch end of wires #17 and #24 
for loose connections.
 
11. Check the connector end for worn pins 
and/or proper pin insertion.
 
12. If continuity, the connector and pins are 
okay, reconnect wires #17 and #24 to the 
blower proof switch. 
 
13. Reconnect the 15 pin connector to the 
control panel.
 
14. Reconnect AC power to the unit and start 
the unit.
 
15. If the SYSTEM FAULT LOW AIR 
PRESSURE fault still persists, replace the 
control panel. 
8.7.4 PURGE INTERLOCKS
If the SSOV proof of closure switch or the air/fuel 
valve open position switches fail to prove closed 
during the start up sequence, the unit will shut 
down and the Annunciator will display the 
message SYSTEM FAULT, PURGE 
INTERLOCKS. To determine the cause of the 
fault perform the following: 
1. Remove the air/fuel valve cover.
2. Clear the Annunciator and start the unit. 
 
3. If the Annunciator displays the message 
PURGE INTLK OPEN and the air/fuel valve 
does not rotate, proceed to section 8.7.7. 
4. If the air/fuel valve rotates to its full open
position and engages the air/fuel valve open 
proving switch, and the Annunciator still 
displays SYSTEM FAULT, PURGE 
INTERLOCKS, proceed to section 8.7.6. 
8.7.5 SSOV PROOF OF CLOSURE 
SWITCH 
1. Disconnect AC power to the unit. 
 
2. Loosen the two set screws securing the 
safety shut-off valve actuator to the safety 
shut-off valve body. 
 
3. Rotate the actuator portion clockwise 
exposing the electrical cover plate and 
tighten the two previously loosened set 
screws. 
 
4. Remove the electrical cover plate exposing
the control wiring
 
5. Referring to the system schematic 161413 in 
Appendix H, remove wires #21 and #22 from 
the proof of closure switch. 
 
6. Connect an ohm meter across the NC, 
normally closed, and the C, common, 
terminals. 
 
7. The switch should show continuity. If it does 
show continuity proceed to step 16.
 
8. If the switch does not show continuity, 
remove the actuator from the valve body.
 
9. Looking at the actuator from the bottom, 
push on the lever closest to the bottom of 
the actuator. 
 
10. Observe the ohm meter while pushing on 
the lever. Pushing downward on the lever 
should make continuity. Releasing the lever 
should break continuity. 
. 
11. If continuity makes and breaks, slightly bend 
the arm toward the bottom of the actuator.
 
12. Reset the actuator onto the valve body while 
observing the ohm meter.
 
13. If continuity is now okay, reconnect wires 
#21 and #22, replace the electrical cover 
plate and reassemble the actuator to the 
valve body.
