4. Install a NPT-to-barbed fitting into the

tapped plug port.

5. Attach one end of the plastic tubing to the

barbed fitting and the other end to the 16
inch W.C. manometer.

4.2.3 Accessing the Vent Probe Port

The unit contains NPT plugs on both the left and
right side of the exhaust manifold at the rear of
the unit as shown in Figure 4-2. Prepare the port
for the combustion analyzer probe as follows:

1. Remove the plug from the probe port on the

left or right side of the exhaust manifold.

2. If necessary, adjust the stop on the

combustion analyzer probe so that it will
extend mid-way into the flue gas flow. DO
NOT install the probe at this time.

IMPORTANT

The Combustion Calibration proce-
dure specified in paragraph 4.3
applies ONLY to units with serial
numbers G-07-1901 and above.

For units with serial numbers below
G-07-1901, use the Combustion
Calibration procedure provided in
Appendix K.

4.3 NATURAL GAS COMBUSTION
CALIBRATION

The Benchmark 3.0LN Boiler is combustion
calibrated at the factory prior to shipping.
However, recalibration as part of initial start-up
is necessary due to changes in the local altitude,
gas BTU content, gas supply piping and supply
regulators. Factory Test Data sheets are
shipped with each unit. These sheets must be
filled out and returned to AERCO for proper
Warranty Validation.

It is important to perform the following procedure
as outlined. This will keep readjustments to a
minimum and provide optimum performance.

1. Open the water supply and return valves to

the unit and ensure that the system pumps
are running.

2. Open the natural gas supply valve(s) to the

unit.

3. Set the control panel ON/OFF switch to the

OFF

position.

4. Turn on external AC power to the unit. The

display will show LOSS OF POWER and the
time and date.
