Instructions
NOTE: If operating at high altitude, outlet pressure requires adjustment. Follow the
instructions in Paragraph 6.1.3 below.
1) Locate the 1/8” output pressure tap on the valve (See FIGURE 10). With the
manual valve turned off to prevent flow to the gas valve, connect a manometer
to the 1/8” pipe outlet pressure tap in the valve. NOTE: A manometer (fluid-filled
gauge) is recommended rather than a spring type gauge due to the difficulty of
maintaining calibration of a spring type gauge.

6.1.3 Derate by Valve
Outlet Pressure
Adjustment for High
Altitude Operation
Instructions for High Altitude Derate
1. Determine the required valve outlet pressure for the elevation where the heater will
be operating. If unsure of the elevation, contact the local gas supplier.
Valve Outlet Pressure Settings by Elevation
This adjustment
can only be done
after the heater is in
operation. High altitude
adjustment is included
in the startup Steps.
NOTE: If elevation is
above 6000 ft (1830M),
a high altitude pressure
switch is required; see
Paragraph 3.2.1.

2) Open the manual valve and operate the heater. (NOTE: On Model UDBS, depress
and hold the door safety switch.) Measure the outlet pressure of the gas valve. To
measure low-stage pressure on a unit equipped with a two-stage valve, disconnect
the wire from the “HI” terminal on the valve. (Be sure to reconnect the wire.)
Normally when operating at sea level, adjustments should not be necessary to the
factory setting. (For high altitude settings, see next paragraph.)
If adjustment is necessary, remove the cap from the adjustment screw(s). Set pres-
sure to correct settings by turning the regulator screw IN (clockwise) to increase
pressure. Turn regulator screw OUT (counterclockwise) to decrease pressure.

on standby. Incorrect inlet pressure could cause excessive valve outlet gas pressure
immediately or at some future time. If natural gas supply pressure is too high, install a
regulator in the supply line before it reaches the heater. If natural gas supply pressure
is too low, contact your gas supplier.
6.1.2 Valve Outlet or Orifice Pressure Setting (cont’d)
CAUTION: DO NOT
bottom out the gas valve
regulator adjusting
screw. This can result
in unregulated manifold
pressure causing
excess overfire and heat
exchanger failure.
