5.6 INTERLOCK TESTS

The unit is equipped with two interlock circuits
called the Remote Interlock and Delayed Inter-
lock. Terminal connections for these circuits are
located in the I/O Box 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 jumped (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.

5.6.1 REMOTE INTERLOCK

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

locate the REMOTE INTL’K IN terminals.


2. Start the unit in manual mode and fire at

25% to 30% firing rate.


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 recon-

nected, the INTERLOCK OPEN message
should automatically clear and the unit
should resume running.

5.6.2 DELAYED INTERLOCK

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

locate the DELAYED INTL’K IN terminals.


2. Start the unit in manual mode and fire at a

25% to 30% firing rate.


3. 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, discon-
nect one of the wires leading to the proving
switch.


4. The unit should shut down and display

DELAYED INTERLOCK OPEN. The

FAULT

LED should be flashing.

5. Once the interlock connection is recon-

nected, depress the

CLEAR button. The

unit should start.


5.7 FLAME FAULT TEST

1. Place the

ON/OFF switch in the OFF

position.


2. Place the unit in the Manual Mode and set

the firing rate between 25% and 30%.


3. Close the manual leak detection valve

located between the safety shut-off valve
and the differential regulator (see Fig. 5.4).


4. Start the unit.


5. The unit should shut down after reaching the

Ignition cycle and display FLAME LOSS
DURING IGN.


6. Open the valve previously closed in step 3

and depress the

CLEAR button.


7. Restart the unit and allow it to prove flame.

8. Once flame is proven, close the manual leak

detection valve located between the safety
shut-off valve and the differential regulator.


9. The unit should shut down and display

FLAME LOSS DURING RUN.


10. Open the valve previously closed in step 8

and depress the

CLEAR button. The unit

should restart and fire.
