the manometer. To adjust the burner pressure,
remove the regulator cover from the valve and
turn the regulator adjustment screw to set the
required burner pressure as stated in the
Technical Data Table for the correct gas and
.
NOTE:
If the correct burner pressure cannot be
reached, then check the inlet pressure to the valve
with the burner firing. See Technical Data Table
for inlet pressure
requirement.
Do not continue to adjust the regulator if the
pressure is not changing.
If the inlet pressure is too low to allow correct burner
pressure setting, then the gas inlet pressure must be
corrected before completing the start-up.
11.2.2.2 Check Gas Rate
1. After burner pressure adjustment, allow the
heater to operate for at least 15 minutes and
then re-check settings. Adjust pressure setting
if necessary.
2. Check gas flow rate at gas meter.
3. Turn off heater and electrical supply.
