Air pressure switch

Make sure boiler water temperature

is 100 °F or cooler before starting

procedure to obtain appropriate

readings.

Check pressure switch setting

1. See

Figure 24

and

Table 6

.

2. Remove both air pressure switch hoses from air

pressure switch.

3. Install tees and tubing as shown in

Figure 24

to

inclined manometer.

4. Turn off gas valve and set thermostat to call for heat.

Inducer will run but burners will not ignite.

5. Check for 24 VAC between both air pressure switch

terminals and ground.

6. If manometer reading is above the setpoint of the

switch (see

Table 6

), but there is not 24 VAC between

both air pressure switch terminals and ground
— replace air pressure switch.

Troubleshooting air pressure reading

1. If manometer reading is lower than the setpoint

of the switch (see

Table 6

) — check for possible

causes:
• blockage in hoses
• obstruction in inducer housing outlet
• loose inducer wheel on motor shaft
• inducer motor not in proper rpm
• inducer back plate not sealed properly
• blockage in block assembly
• blockage in flue pipe or termination
• incorrect pressure switch

Return to normal operation

When pressure reading is correct and air pressure switch

is operating properly — remove tees and reinstall hoses

to air pressure switch.

The boiler will not operate
correctly unless pressure switch
hoses are correctly located.
The red hose connects from
the right side (negative) hose
barb to the flue collector. The
white hose connects from the
left side (positive) hose barb
of the switch to the connector
box (between flue collector and
inducer) as shown in

Figure
