4.3 COMBUSTION CALIBRATION
The Benchmark 2.0LN Boiler is combustion calibrated at the factory prior to shipping. However,
recalibration as part of initial start-up is necessary due to changes in the local altitude, gas BTU
content, gas supply piping and supply regulators. Factory Test Data sheets are shipped with each
unit. These sheets must be filled out and returned to AERCO for proper Warranty Validation.
It is important to perform the following procedure as outlined. This will keep readjustments to a
minimum and provide optimum performance.
1. Open the water supply and return valves to the unit and ensure that the system pumps are
running.
2. Open the natural gas supply valve(s) to the unit.
3. Set the control panel ON/OFF switch to the
OFF
position.
4. Turn on external AC power to the unit. The display will show LOSS OF POWER and the
time and date.
5. Set the unit to the Manual Mode by pressing the
AUTO/MAN
key. A flashing Manual Valve
Position message will be displayed with the present rate in %. Also, the MANUAL LED will
light.
6.
Adjust the air/fuel valve position to 0% by pressing the ▼ arrow key.
7. Ensure that the leak detection ball valve down-stream of the SSOV is open.
8. Set the
ON/OFF
switch to the
ON
position.
9. Change the valve position to 29% using the
▲ arrow key. The unit should begin its start
sequence and fire.
10. Next, verify that the gas pressure downstream of the SSOV is 2.8” W.C. for both FM and
IRI gas trains. If gas pressure adjustment is required, remove the brass hex nut on the
downstream SSOV actuator (IRI gas train) to access the gas pressure adjustment screw
(Figure 4-4). Make gas pressure adjustments using a flat-tip screwdriver to obtain 2.8” W.C.

11. Increase the valve open position to 100% and verify that the gas pressure downstream of
the SSOV remains at 2.8” W.C. Readjust pressure if necessary.
