RUVG

 

UNITS

 

 

The

 

unit

 

has

 

been

 

tested

 

at

 

the

 

factory,

 

gas

 

consumption

 

clocked,

 

and

 

all

 

safety

 

controls

 

checked

 

to

 

ensure

 

they

 

operate.

 

Field

 

testing

 

will

 

confirm

 

all

 

components

 

are

 

operating

 

properly

 

after

 

shipping

 

and

 

installation.

 

 

1.

 

Read

 

all

 

of

 

this

to

 

refer

 

to

 

another

 

control

 

manual

 

to

 

perform

 

some

 

of

 

the

 

operation

 

test

 

procedure

 

and

 

then

 

return

 

to

 

this

 

document

 

to

 

complete

 

the

 

safety

 

checks.

 

 

2.

 

Purge

 

all

 

the

 

air

 

from

 

the

 

gas

 

lines.

  

Refer

 

to

 

the

 

Canadian

 

Natural

method.

 

Check

 

all

 

connections

 

for

 

leaks

 

and

 

correct.

  

Ensure

 

that

 

the

 

inlet

 

pressure

 

agrees

 

with

 

the

 

approval

 

label.

 

 

3.

 

Adjust

 

airflow

 

through

 

the

 

unit

 

to

 

obtain

 

the

 

rating

 

plate

 

specified

 

airflow.

  

Operation

 

with

 

airflow

 

less

 

than

 

specified

 

can

 

damage

 

the

 

heat

 

exchanger.

 

 

4.

 

Do

 

not

 

re

start

 

burner

 

when

 

the

 

heat

 

exchanger

 

is:

 

 

a.

 

very

 

hot

 

b.

 

full

 

of

 

gas

 

 

5.

 

Do

 

not

 

start

 

burner

 

unless

 

the

 

supply

 

fan

 

blower

 

access

 

door

 

is

 

secured

 

in

 

place

 

and

 

the

access

 

cover

 

is

 

firmly

 

attached.

 

 

6.

 

Open

 

door

heater

 

enclosure.

  

Note:

  

The

 

access

 

panel

 

must

 

be

 

in

 

place

 

except

 

when

 

servicing.

 

 

7.

 

Turn

 

the

 

gas

 

on

 

for

 

the

 

unit.

 

Check

 

for

 

leaking

 

gas

 

piping

 

to

 

the

 

unit

 

and

 

check

 

the

 

manifold

 

piping

 

up

 

to

 

the

 

safety

 

shutoff

 

valves.

 

 

8.

 

Check

 

the

 

main

 

and

 

safety

 

shut

 

off

 

valves

 

and

 

pilot

 

valve

 

for

 

leakage

 

following

 

the

 

valve

 

manufacture’s

 

recommendations.

 

 

9.

 

Move

 

gas

 

control

 

knob

 

to

 

“Off”

 

position.

 

 

10.

 

Install

 

a

 

tapped

 

fitting

 

for

 

attachment

 

to

 

a

 

manometer,

 

or

 

other

 

gauge

 

suitable

 

for

 

14.0”

 

w.c.,

 

in

 

the

 

inlet

 

pressure

 

tap,

 

and

 

for

 

10.0”

 

w.c.,

 

in

 

the

 

manifold

 

pressure

 

tap.

 

 

11.

 

Wait

 

5

 

minutes

 

for

 

any

 

gas

 

to

 

clear

 

out.

 

If

 

you

 

smell

 

gas,

 

see

 

Step

 

4

 

above

 

and

 

correct

 

leak.

 

If

 

you

 

don’t

 

smell

 

gas

 

or

 

have

 

corrected

 

any

 

leaks,

 

go
