6.11 SSOV PROOF OF CLOSURE
SWITCH

This test can be performed when the unit is set
up to run on either natural gas or proane fuel.
Downstream SSOVs #1 (natural gas) and #3
(propane) shown in Figure 6-1 contain the proof
of closure switches. 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

valve position between 25% and 30%

3. Refer to Figure 6-1 and locate downstream

SSOV #1(natural gas).

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.
When wire #148 is disconnected, it opens
the proof of closure switch circuit for both
the natural gas and propane downstream
SSOVs.

6. The unit should fault and display SSOV

SWITCH OPEN.

7. Replace wire #148 and press the CLEAR

button.

8. Set the ON/OFF switch to ON to start the

unit.

9. Remove the wire again when the unit

reaches the purge cycle and PURGING is
