f. Look through sight glass in burner enclosure and check
burner flame. Burner flame should be clear blue, almost
transparent. (See Fig. 46.)
3. Verify natural gas input rate by clocking gas meter.
NOTE:
Be sure all pressure tubing, combustion-air and vent
pipes, and burner enclosure front are in place when checking input
by clocking gas meter.
a. Calculate high-altitude adjustment (if required).
UNITED STATES
At altitudes above 2000 ft, this furnace has been ap-
proved for a 2% derate for each 1000 ft above sea level.
See Table 10 for derate multiplier factor.
EXAMPLE:
100,000 Btuh input furnace installed at 4300 ft.

CANADA
At installation altitudes from 2000 to 4500 ft, this
furnace must be derated 5% by an authorized Gas
Conversion Station or Dealer. To determine correct input
rate for altitude, see example above and use 0.95 as
derate multiplier factor.
b. Turn off all other gas appliances and pilots.
c. Start furnace and let operate for 3 minutes.
d. Measure time (in sec) for gas meter test dial to complete
1 revolution.
e. Refer to Table 11 for cu ft of gas per hr.
f. Multiply gas rate (cu ft/hr) X heating value (Btu/cu ft)
using natural gas heating value from local gas
utility/supplier.
EXAMPLE: (0—2000 ft altitude)
Furnace input from rating plate is 100,000 Btuh.
Btu heating input = Btu/cu ft X cu ft/hr
Heating value of gas = 975 Btu/cu ft
Time for 1 revolution of 2-cu ft dial = 70 sec
Gas rate = 103 cu ft/hr (from Table 11)
Btu heating input = 103 X 975 = 100,425 Btuh
In this example, the orifice size and manifold pressure
adjustment is within
±
2 percent of the furnace input rate.
B.
Set Temperature Rise
CAUTION:
Temperature rise must be within limits
specified on unit rating plate. Recommended operation is
at midpoint of rise or above. Failure to follow this caution
may result in condensing or overheating the heat ex-
changers.
Determine and adjust air temperature rise as follows:
1. Place thermometers in return and supply ducts as close to
furnace as possible. Be sure thermometers do not see heat
exchanger so that radiant heat does not affect readings. This
practice is particularly important with straight-run ducts.
2. When thermometer readings stabilize, subtract return-air
temperature from supply-air temperature to determine air
temperature rise.
