1. Check the Supply Gas Pressure

Check the supply gas pressure and compare it with
the unit’s nameplate pressure requirements. Adjust
the supply regulator as needed until the supply gas
pressure is within the specified range (see below). The
nameplate is located on the outside of the unit on the
control panel side.

2. Check the Pilot Gas Pressure

The recommended gas pressure is 3 in. wg. Adjust the
pilot regulator as needed. See the Gas Train Layout
in the Reference section for the location of the pilot
pressure test port and pilot regulator.

3. Check the Optional High and Low Gas
Pressure Switches

Check the settings on the high and low gas pressure
switches. The high gas setting is typically 8 in. wg
(2 kPa) and the low gas setting is typically 3 in. wg
(0.7 kPa). The switches are set at the factory and
should not need adjustment. Adjust the settings if
needed. See the Gas Train Layout diagram in the
Reference section for the high and low pressure
switch location.

Start-Up - Direct Gas

IMPORTANT

For proper unit function and safety, follow the start-
up procedure in the exact order that it is presented.

IMPORTANT

This start-up should begin after all of the installation
procedures and the blower start-up have been
completed.

IMPORTANT

The purpose of the high and low gas pressure
switches is to automatically shut down the burner
if the inlet gas pressure is too low for the burner to
safely light, or if the manifold pressure is too high for
the burner to operate properly.

The proper static pressure
should be between 0.625 and
0.675 inches wg (155.68 and
168.64 Pa). If needed, evenly
adjust the baffles above and
below the burner, keeping
the burner centered in the
opening until the required
pressure is obtained.

4. Set the Burner Air Pressure Differential

With all access panels in place, the fan running
and discharging 70ºF (21ºC) air, connect a U-Tube
manometer to the outer sensing probes (see below)
and measure the static pressure across the burner.

IMPORTANT

Proper air velocity over the burner is critical on
direct fired gas units. If the air velocity is not within
the unit specifications, the unit will not operate
efficiently, may have sporadic shutdowns, and may
produce excessive carbon monoxide (CO) or other
gases.

NOTE

The pressure drop was set at the factory and may
not need adjustment.

NOTE

When required pressure is obtained, be sure to
reconnect the outer sensing probes.

IMPORTANT

This process may need to be repeated until the
proper pressure is achieved. This adjustment
will change the air quantity delivered by the unit
and therefore the air quantity delivered should be
rechecked. Refer to the Blower Start-Up section.

NOTE

To increase the static pressure, decrease the
opening. To decrease the static pressure, increase
the opening.
