4.2.3 PREPARING THE FLUE VENT 
PROBE HOLE 
1. If the unit has been installed using the
recommended AL29-4C vent, there will be a 
3/8” hole, 18” to 24” above the exhaust 
manifold. The outer vent section, that covers 
vent connections must be loosened and 
moved to uncover the hole (see Figure 4.2). 
2. If equipped with one, adjust the stop on the
combustion analyzer probe so that it extends 
into the flue gas flow without hitting the 
opposite wall of the flue. Do not insert the 
probe at this time.

IMPORTANT
The unit is shipped from the factory set up for 
either natural gas or propane, as specified by the 
Style No. on the Sales Order. If desired, the unit 
can be easily switched from one fuel type to the 
other using the regulator spring change 
procedure in Appendix I. 
 
For propane units, disregard paragraph 4.3 and 
proceed to paragraph 4.4. 
4.3 NATURAL GAS COMBUSTION 
CALIBRATION 
The KC-1000 is shipped combustion calibrated 
from the factory. Recalibration as part of a start-
up is necessary due to differences in altitude, 
gas BTU content, gas supply piping and supply 
regulators. Factory test data sheets are shipped 
with each unit as a reference. 
The following combustion calibration procedure 
closely follows the factory procedure. By 
following this procedure, readjustment of 
combustion will be kept to a minimum. 
1. Open the supply and return valves to the unit
and ensure that the system pumps are 
running.
2. Open the gas supply valve(s) to the unit.
3. If a lockup style regulator is installed as a
gas supply regulator, adjust the gas supply 
until a reading of 12” W.C. static pressure is 
obtained. 
4. Set
the
ON/OFF switch to the OFF position.
Turn on AC power to the unit. The display 
will show LOSS OF POWER and the time 
and date. 
5. Set the unit to the Manual Mode by pressing
the
AUTO/MAN switch. A flashing Manual
Valve Position message will be displayed 
with the present position in % open. Also, 
the 
MANUAL LED will light.
NOTE:
For a review of the control panel operating 
procedures
, refer to Section 3.
6. Adjust the valve position to 0% by pressing
the
▼ arrow key.
7. Set
the
ON/OFF switch to the ON position.
8. Change the valve position to 25% using the
▲ arrow key. This will put the unit into the 
starting sequence.
