SAFETY DEVICE TESTING

6-4

3. Close the manual gas shutoff valve located

between the Safety Shut-Off Valve (SSOV)
and the Air/Fuel Valve (see Figure 6-3).

4. Set

the

ON/OFF switch to the ON position to

start the unit.

5. The unit should shut down after reaching the

Ignition cycle and display FLAME LOSS
DURING IGN.

6. Open the valve previously closed in step 3

and press the CLEAR button.

7. Restart the unit and allow it to prove flame.

8. Once flame is proven, close the manual gas

valve located between the SSOV and the
Air/Fuel Valve.

9. The unit should shut down and display

FLAME LOSS DURING RUN.

10. Open the valve previously closed in step 8.

11. Press the CLEAR button. The unit should

restart and fire.

6.8 AIR FLOW FAULT TESTS

These tests check the operation of the Blower
Proof Switch and Blocked Inlet Switch shown in
Figure 6-3.

1. Start the unit in the Manual Mode at a firing

rate between 25% and 30%.

2. Once the unit has proved flame, remove the

memory stick from the Variable Frequency
Drive (VFD).

3. The Blower Proof Switch will open and the

blower should stop. The unit should shut
down and display AIRFLOW FAULT
DURING RUN
.

4. Replace the memory stick in the VFD.

5.

Press the CLEAR button. The unit should

restart.

6. Next, check the Blocked Inlet Switch by

closing the Iris Air Damper to position 8.

7. .The unit should shut down and again

display AIRFLOW FAULT DURING RUN.

8. Return the Iris Air Damper to its previous

setting.

9. Press the CLEAR button. The unit should

restart.

6.9 SSOV PROOF OF CLOSURE SWITCH

The downstream SSOV (#1) shown in Figure
6-1 contains the proof of closure switch. The
proof of closure switch circuit is checked as
follows:

1. Set the unit’s ON/OFF switch to the OFF

position.

2. Place the unit in Manual Mode and set the

firing rate between 25% and 30%

3. Refer to Figure 6-1 and locate downstream

SSOV #1.

4. Remove the cover from SSOV #1 by

loosening the screw shown in Figure 6-4. Lift
off the cover to access the terminal wiring
connections.

5. Disconnect wire #148 from SSOV #1 to

“open” the proof of closure switch circuit.

6. The unit should fault and display SSOV

SWITCH OPEN.

7. Replace wire #148 and press the CLEAR

button.
