PROPANE Combustion Calibration Instructions
NOTE:
These instructions assume that the
inlet air temperature is between 50°F and 100°F
(10°C – 37.8°C)
. If NOx readings exceed the target values in Table 4-4, above, or Table 4-
6, below, increase the O
2
level up to 1% higher than the Target value. You must then record
the increased O
2
value on the Combustion Calibration sheet.
22. On Benchmark 3000 - 6000 units
only
, record the manifold (downstream) gas pressure at
100%. This value will be used in Section 5.2.2:
Low Pressure Gas Test
, and Section 5.3.2:
High Pressure Gas Test
.
23. Once the O
2
level is within the specified range at 100%:
•
Enter the
Flame Strength
,
NOx
and
CO
readings from the Combustion Analyzer
and multi-meter in the Manual Combustion Calibration screen’s
Reading
column.
•
Enter the same values, plus the
O
2
value, on the Combustion Calibration Data Sheet
provided with the unit.
24. Lower the Valve Position to the next calibration point using the
(Left) arrow key (if using
Method 1 in step 11) or the Fine Valve Position – (Minus) key (if using Method 2).

25. Repeat step 17, 18 and 21 at that valve position and the rest of the valve positions in Table
Table 4-6a and 4-6b, depending on model. The O
2
, NOx and CO should stay within the
ranges shown in these tables.
