NATURAL GAS Combustion Calibration – Continued
NOTE
If NOx readings exceed the target values shown (<20 ppm), increase the O
2
level up to 25% higher than the listed calibration range shown in the table.
Record the increased O
2
value on the Combustion Calibration sheet.

23. If the oxygen level at the 16% valve position (RECON 500) or 20% valve position (RECON
1000) is too high and the Blower voltage is at the minimum value, you can adjust the idle
screw (TAC valve), which is recessed in the top of the Air/Fuel Valve (Figure 4-5). Rotate the
screw 1/2 turn clockwise (CW) to add fuel and reduce the O
2
to the specified level.
Recalibration MUST be performed again from 60% down to 16% after making a change to the
idle screw (TAC valve).

This completes the Natural Gas combustion calibration procedure.
4.3.1 REASSEMBLY AFTER COMBUSTION CALIBRATION
Once the combustion calibration adjustments are properly set, the unit can be reassembled for
service operation.
