1. Check the Supply Gas Pressure

Check the supply gas pressure and compare it with
the unit’s nameplate pressure requirements. Adjust
the supply regulator as needed until the supply gas
pressure is within the specified range. The direct gas
nameplate is located on the outside of the unit on the
control center side.

2. Check the Pilot Gas Pressure

Check the pilot gas pressure. The recommended
gas pressure is 3 in. wc. Adjust the pilot regulator as
needed. See the Gas Train Layout in the Reference
section for the location of the pilot pressure test port
and pilot regulator.

Start-Up Direct Gas

IMPORTANT

For proper unit function and safety, follow the start-

up procedure in the exact order that it is presented.

IMPORTANT

This start-up should begin after all of the installation

procedures and the blower start-up have been

completed.

The proper static pressure should be between 0.625
and 0.675 inches wc (155.68 and 168.64 Pa). If
needed, evenly adjust the baffles on both sides of the
burner, keeping the burner centered in the opening
until the required pressure is obtained.

3. Set the Burner Air Pressure Differential

With the fan running and discharging 70ºF (21ºC) air,
connect a U-Tube manometer to the outer sensing
probes (see below) and measure the static pressure
across the burner.

IMPORTANT

Proper air velocity over the burner is critical on direct

fired gas units. If the air velocity is not within the unit

specifications, the unit will not operate efficiently,

may have sporadic shutdowns, and may produce

excessive carbon monoxide (CO) or other gases.

NOTE

The pressure drop was set at the factory and may

not need adjustment.

NOTE

When required pressure is obtained, be sure to

reconnect the outer sensing probes.

IMPORTANT

This process may need to be repeated until the

proper pressure is achieved. This adjustment

will change the air quantity delivered by the unit

and therefore the air quantity delivered should be

rechecked. Refer to the Blower Start-Up section.

NOTE

To increase the static pressure decrease the

opening. To decrease the static pressure increase

the opening.
