3.8. START SEQUENCE
When the Control Box ON/OFF switch is set to
the ON position, it checks all pre-purge safety
switches to ensure they are closed. These
switches include:
•
Safety Shut-Off Valve Proof of Closure
(POC) switch
• Low Water Level switch
• High Water Temperature switch
• High Gas Pressure switch
• Low Gas Pressure switch
If all of the above switches are closed, the
READY light above the ON/OFF switch will light
and the unit will be in the Standby mode.
When there is a demand for heat (hot water), the
following events will occur:
NOTE:
If any of the Pre-Purge safety device switches
are open, the appropriate fault message will be
displayed. Also, the appropriate fault messages
will be displayed throughout the start sequence,
if the required conditions are not observed.
1. The DEMAND LED status indicator will light.
2. The unit checks to ensure that the proof of
closure switch in the Safety Shut-Off Valve
