Safety Inspection

1.  Check all thermostats and high limit settings.

2.  During the following safety checks leave manome-

ters hooked up, check and record.

3.  If other gas-fired appliances in the room are on the 

same gas main, check all pressures on the Delta 

Limited with all other equipment running.

4.  Check thermostats for ON-OFF operation.

5.  Check high limits for ON-OFF operation.

6.  While in operation, check flow switch operation.

7.  Check  the  low  gas  pressure  switch.  (For  proper 

adjustment, use the attached manometers, if avail-

able, to set pressure. The scales on the switch are 

approximate only.) Low gas pressure switch must 

be set at 5.0 in. WC for natural gas and 10.0 in. 

WC for propane gas.

8.  Make sure that the high gas pressure switch (op

-

tional) is set to 1.0 in. WC above manifold pres

-

sure.

Follow-Up

Safety checks must be recorded as performed.

Turn heater on. After main burner ignition:

1.  Check manometer for proper reading.

2.  Cycle heater several times and re-check readings.

3.  Remove all manometers and replace caps and 

screws. 

4.  Replace all gas pressure caps.

5.  Check for gas leaks one more time.

Pilot Turn-Down Test

The Delta Limited heaters, depending on their size, 

have two to five burner sections. Each burner section 

is supplied gas by two gas valves incorporated into a 

single valve body. A maximum of three burner sections 

may be controlled by a single hot surface ignition sys-

tem. The middle of the three burner sections is ignited 

directly with a hot surface ignition system.

The burner section that is ignited directly by the hot 

surface ignition system serves as a supervised pilot to 

light the burner sections on either side of it. The burner 

sections on either side of the supervised section (pilot) 

are electrically interlocked with the supervised ignition 

system so as they are not energized unless flame is 

proven on the center section which is acting as a pilot 

to light the right and left-hand sections.

The pilot turn-down test is conducted as follows:

1.  Turn off manual valves on non-supervised burner 

sections.

2.  Turn on electrical power and adjust thermostat to 

call for heat.

3.  Wait for completion of ignition sequence to light 

burner section being utilized as a pilot for those 

turned off in step 1 above.

4.  Gradually  reduce  manifold  pressure  (flame)  on 

supervised burner section by slowly closing man-

ual gas valve. Watch for shut-down due to loss of 

supervised  flame  signal  as  pressure  is  being  re-

duced. Flame signal should be lost before man-

ifold pressure goes below 2.0 in. WC for natural 

gas and 6.0 in. WC for propane gas.

Leak Test Procedure: Dual-Seat Gas 

Valves

Proper leak testing requires three pressure test points 

in the gas train.

Test point A is upstream of the automatic gas valve. 

On the first automatic valve, this is a bleedle valve. On 

the other valves, this is a plugged port. The bleedle 

valve on the first valve may be used for all the other 

valves as well.

Test point B is a bleedle valve located between the two 

automatic gas valve seats.

Test point C is located downstream of both automat-

ic gas valve seats and upstream of the manual valve. 

On the manual valve, this is a bleedle valve. Identical 

readings will be found at the plugged port labeled as 

Alternate C.

Refer to Fig. 37. The numbers on the diagram refer to 

the steps below:

These tests are to be conducted with the electrical 

power to the heater turned off.
