2. Locate the 1/8” output pressure tap on the valve (See FIGURE 10, page 14). Turn
the knob or switch on the top of the valve to “OFF”. Connect a manometer to the
1/8” pipe outlet pressure tap in the valve. Use a water column manometer that is
readable to the nearest tenth of an inch.
3. Single-Stage and Two-Stage High Fire - Turn the knob or move the switch on
the top of the valve to “ON”. Remove the cap from the pressure adjusting screw
and adjust the gas train pressure to the pressure selected from the table above.
Adjust pressure by turning the regulator screw IN (clockwise) to increase pressure
or OUT (counterclockwise) to decrease pressure.
Two-Stage Low Fire - Disconnect the wire from the “HI” terminal on the gas valve
and check the low fire pressure. Turn the regulator screw to adjust the low fire outlet
pressure to the “Low Fire” pressure selected from the table. Re-connect the wire to
the gas valve.
4. Turn up the thermostat. (NOTE: On Model UDBS, depress and hold the door
safety switch.) Cycle the burner once or twice to properly seat the adjustment
spring in the valve.
Re-check the pressure(s). When the outlet pressure is right for the installation,
remove the manometer and replace the cap.
Check for leak at the pressure tap fitting.
5. With the heater operating determine that the inlet pressure to the heater for
natural gas is between 5 and 13.5 inches w.c. and for propane between 10 and
13.5 inches w.c. Take this reading as close as possible to the heater (Heaters are
equipped with gas valves that have an inlet pressure tap.) If the inlet pressure is
not within the specified range, the inlet pressure must be corrected and Steps 3
and 4 repeated.
6. Find the High Altitude Adjustment label in the plastic bag that contained these
instructions. Using a permanent marker, fill-in the appropriate information from the
tables below. Select a location for the label on the outside of the heater access
panel so that it will be conspicuous to anyone operating or servicing the unit. Be
sure the surface is clean and dry and adhere the label.
The input and/or the capacity of the heater changes with the derate. The tables below
list inputs and capacities at altitudes from sea level to 10,000 ft (3045M).
