an integrated test port. This port is located on the upstream side of the valve body for measuring
supply pressure.
The air flow is pre-set at the factory prior to shipment. Gas flow is dependent primarily on fan speed
not upstream gas pressure. The automatic gas valve may have to be adjusted to obtain proper
combustion readings for specific local conditions. A combustion analyzer must be used. Combustion
must be set in accordance with Recommended Combustion Settings for P-K Storm Boilers in
Section
3.11.2
.
Manual Control Mode for High and Low Fire Adjustment
To adjust/tune
combustion, use the NURO’s “Manual Control Firing Rate” mode. To access this mode,
touch the “Info” button in the lower left corner of the screen, and then press “Service” in the lower left.
Next, touch “Press to Activate Manual Control” which will open the “Manual Control Firing Rate” mode.
This test mode should be used when adjusting or tuning the gas safety shut off/control valve.
Once in “Manual Control Firing Rate” mode, a heat request is required. Once the appliance cycles on
and is running in “Manual Control Firing Rate”, use the UP and DOWN arrows or the slider to force the
boiler to operate at low fire, high fire, or anywhere in-between. To prevent the appliance from cycling
off prematurely during adjustment, ensure that any load devices (air handlers, control valves, radiators,
air handling units, etc.) are in operation and are able to shed/dump the heat created by the boiler.
Recommended Combustion Settings for P-K STORM Boilers
The P-K Storm
™
boilers are equipped with a combination gas/air control and gas safety shut off control
valve. The “zero governor” gas valve responds to the variable speed combustion blower in order to
supply the correct air/gas ratio for optimum performance and efficiency.

NOTE:
Proper water flow should be established before performing any combustion adjustments to
ensure the boiler doesn’t short-cycle or overheat.
NOTICE!
For high altitude adjustments (greater than 2,000 feet above sea level), see
