SAFETY DEVICE TESTING

1. Start the unit in the normal operating mode.

Allow the unit to stabilize at its setpoint.

2. Lower the adjustable over-temperature

switch setting to match the displayed
OUTLET TEMPERATURE.

3. Once the adjustable over-temperature

switch setting is approximately at, or just
below, the actual outlet water temperature,
the unit should shut down. The FAULT
indicator should start flashing and a HIGH
WATER TEMP SWITCH OPEN

fault

message should be displayed. It should not
be possible to restart the unit.

4. Reset the adjustable over-temperature

switch to its original setting.

5. The unit should start once the adjustable

temperature limit switch setting is above the
actual outlet water temperature.

6. Once the adjustable over-temperature

switch setting is approximately at, or just
below, the actual outlet water temperature,
the unit should shut down. The FAULT
indicator should start flashing and a HIGH
WATER TEMP SWITCH OPEN

fault

message should be displayed. It should not
be possible to restart the unit.

7. Reset the adjustable over-temperature

switch to its original setting.

8. The unit should start once the adjustable

temperature limit switch setting is above the
actual outlet water temperature.

6.8 INTERLOCK TESTS

The unit is equipped with two interlock circuits
called the Remote Interlock and Delayed
Interlock. Terminal connections for these circuits
are located in the I/O Box (Figure 2-9) and are
labeled REMOTE INTL’K IN and DELAYED
INTL’K IN. These circuits can shut down the
unit in the event that an interlock is opened.
These interlocks are shipped from the factory
jumpered (closed). However, each of these
interlocks may be utilized in the field as a remote
stop and start, an emergency cut-off, or to prove
that a device such as a pump, gas booster, or
louver is operational.

6.8.1 REMOTE INTERLOCK

1. Remove the cover from the I/O Box and

locate the REMOTE INTL’K IN terminals.

2. Start the unit in the Manual Mode and set

the valve position between 25% and 30%.

3. If there is a jumper across the REMOTE

INTL’K IN terminals, remove one side of the
jumper. If the interlock is being controlled by
an external device, either open the interlock
via the external device or disconnect one of
the wires leading to the external device.

4. The unit should shut down and display

INTERLOCK OPEN.

5.

Once the interlock connection is
reconnected, the INTERLOCK OPEN
message should automatically clear and the
unit should restart.

6.8.2 DELAYED INTERLOCK

Remove the cover from the I/O Box and
locate the DELAYED INTL’K IN terminals.

Start the unit in the Manual Mode at a valve
position between 25% and 30%.

If there is a jumper across the DELAYED
INTL’K IN terminals, remove one side of the
jumper. If the interlock is connected to a
proving switch of an external device,
disconnect one of the wires leading to the
proving switch.

The unit should shut down and display a
DELAYED INTERLOCK OPEN

fault

message. The FAULT LED should be
flashing.

Reconnect the wire or jumper removed in
step 3 to restore the interlock.

Press

the

CLEAR

button to reset the fault

The unit should start.

6.9 FLAME FAULT TESTS

Flame faults can occur during ignition or while
the unit is already running. To simulate each of
these fault conditions, proceed as follows:

1. Set

the

ON/OFF

switch to the OFF position.

2. Place the unit in the Manual Mode and set

the valve position between 25% and 30%.

3. Close the manual gas shutoff valve located

between the Safety Shut-Off Valve (SSOV)
and the Air/Fuel Valve (see Figure 6-3).

4. Set

the

ON/OFF

switch to the ON position to

start the unit.

5. The unit should shut down after reaching the

Ignition cycle and display FLAME LOSS
DURING IGN.
