MAINTENANCE

7.3 FLAME DETECTOR

The flame detector assembly (124837) is located
in the body of the burner (Figure 7.1). The flame
detector may be HOT. Allow the unit to cool
sufficiently before removing the flame detector.


To inspect or replace the flame detector
(124837):

1. Set the ON/OFF switch on the control panel

to the OFF position and disconnect AC
power from the unit.

2. To access the flame detector, remove the

unit’s left side panel and left rear cover.

3.

Disconnect the flame detector wire lead.

4. Using a 15/16” open-end wrench, loosen

and remove the flame detector from the
burner shell.

5. Inspect the detector thoroughly. If eroded,

the detector should be replaced. Otherwise,
clean the detector with a fine emery cloth.

6. Reinstall the flame detector in the burner

shell. Do Not over-tighten. A slight snugging
up is sufficient.

7. Reconnect the flame detector wire lead.

8. Replace the left side panel and left rear

cover on the unit.

7.4 COMBUSTION CALIBRATION

Combustion settings must be checked at the
intervals shown in Table 1 as part of the sched-
uled maintenance requirements. Refer to the
combustion calibration instructions in Section 4..

7.5 SAFETY DEVICE TESTING

Systematic and thorough testing of the operating
and safety devices should be performed to
ensure that they are operating properly. Certain
code requirements, such as ASME CSD-1,
require that these tests be performed on a
scheduled basis. Test schedules must conform
to local jurisdictions. The results of the tests
should be recorded in a log book. See Section 6
- Safety Device Testing Procedures.

7.6 MANIFOLD AND EXHAUST TUBES

The presence of even trace amounts of
chlorides and/or sulfur, in the combustion air and
fuel sources, can lead to the formation of
deposits on the inside of the exchanger tubes,
exhaust manifold, and/or the condensate cup.
The degree of deposition is influenced by the
extent of the condensing operation and the

chloride and sulfur levels that vary significantly
from application to application.

The following replacement parts will be required
for reassembly after inspection:

GP-122537 Combustion

Chamber

Gasket

GP-18900

Manifold to Tubesheet

Gasket

124749

Burner Head/Plate Gasket

124834

Burner Plate/Shell Gasket

*124839

Combustion Chamber Liner

*Not necessary to change but should be on hand
in case damage occurs during the inspection.

To remove the manifold for inspection:

1. Remove the sheet metal covers from the

unit.

2. Disconnect the plastic tubing from the

condensate cup to drain and remove the
rear covers.

3. Remove the condensate cup from under the

unit Disconnect AC power and turn off the
gas supply to the unit.

4. and disconnect the condensate drain tubing

from the exhaust manifold.

5. Remove the flame detector and ignition

cable wires from the flame detector and
igniter contactor. Remove the igniter and
flame detector per paragraphs 7.2, and 7.3.

6. Remove the grounding terminal from the

burner by loosening the upper screw and
sliding the connector from the grounding rod.
