Test of Ignition Safety System

Test the ignition system safety shutoff as follows:

1. Remove the black plug/connector from the main gas valve (it is held on

with a central screw).

2. With the main gas cock (inlet manual gas valve) open, the burner should

be cycled on. After all the safety limits such as gas pressure, water fl ow and
temperature are satisfi ed, the blower will run and pre-purge the boiler.

3. Once the purge is complete (30 seconds), the ignition transformer will be

energized. There will be a 4 second trial for ignition period. During this
period, indicator lights on the fl ame safeguard (pilot and main)

4. The main gas valve will not open because there is no power to the valve

due to the disconnected wires. Hence, no fl ame will be established and the
fl ame safeguard will not receive a fl ame signal from the UV scanner.

5. After 4 seconds, the fl ame safeguard programmer will assume a “Flame

Failure” condition and go to a “lockout” mode. Lockout will require manual
reset of the fl ame safeguard.

6. After completing this test, turn off the boiler and reconnect the wires to

the main gas valve.

Perform Test of Low Water Cut Off

Once the boiler is full of water the following test can be accomplished:

1. Turn the boiler on, this will start the Call for Heat sequence.

2. Press and hold the Low Water Test button for 3 seconds. The Low Water

light should illuminate and the boiler should shut down the Call for Heat
sequence.

3. Reset the Low Water condition by pressing the Low Water reset button and

the LMV Reset button. Boiler should start the Call for Heat sequence again.

4. Perform appropriate test for any secondary Low Water controls.

Perform Test of Limit Controls

Fire the boiler and test the high limit control as follows:

1. Alter high temperature limit to a value lower than the anticipated loop

temperature. Turn the boiler on. Water temperature will rise until the
boiler locks out. This condition has to be manually reset.

2. Alter the high limit cut off temperature to normal level, typically 10-20

degrees above set point.
