screw) by turning screw clockwise to decrease
pressure setting, counterclockwise to increase
pressure setting. Switch must be adjusted so burner
fuel supply cuts off should pressure drop below 45
psi. Burners are susceptible to flame failure should
fuel pressure drop below 40 psi.
5-11. Air Pressure Switch Adjustment (Refer to
Fig C-13)
a. Remove electrical control box cover.
b. Remove air flow switch cover.
c. Start unit (turn on pump control switch).
d. Turn on low fire start switch, allow low fire
burner to ignite.
e. Place obstruction in front of blower inlet. Hold
obstruction over inlet for only a few seconds or until
black smoke begins to emit from exhaust. If air flow
switch is set properly, burner should be shut down.
f. If burner does not shut down, increase setting
of air flow switch by turning adjustment screw
clockwise.
g. Check air flow switch trip point again by
repeating step e in this paragraph. Repeat steps e and
f until burner shutdown occurs immediately after
obstruction is placed over blower inlet. If switch
setting is too high, burner will not ignite when low
fire switch is turned on.
h. Decrease set point by turning adjustment
clockwise until burner ignites.
i. Test air flow switch trip point after decreasing
set point by repeating steps e and f
j. Replace switch cover.
k. Replace electrical control box cover.
5-12. Low Water Pressure Switch Adjustment
(Refer to Fig C-13)
a. Remove electrical control box cover.
b. Observe settings on dial indicator of switch,
cut-in setting should be 20 psi, cut-out setting should
be 5 psi.
c. If settings in step b are not as indicated, set cut-
in on pressure switch (right hand screw) by turning
screw
clockwise
to
raise
pressure
setting,
counterclockwise to decrease pressure setting.
d. Set cut-out on pressure switch (left hand screw)
by turning screw clockwise to decrease pressure
setting, counterclockwise to increase pressure
setting.
e. Start unit and initiate low fire ignition.
f. After low fire has been established, shut off
water supply to water tank. Water tank should pump
dry, coil back pressure and outlet pressures drop to
zero psi and fire shut off.
g. If fire does not shut off, increase cut-in
setting slightly and repeat step f above until fire shuts
off.
h. If switch setting is too high, fire will not ignite.
Decrease switch setting until fire ignites, then
perform steps f and g of this paragraph to test fire
shut-off point.
i. Replace electrical control box cover.
5-13. Excess Pressure Switch Adjustment
(Refer to Fig C-13)
a. Remove electrical control box cover.
b. Observe settings on dial indicator of switch,
cut-out setting should be 350 psi, cut-in setting
should be 150 psi.
c. If settings in step b of this paragraph are not as
indicated, set cut-out on pressure switch (right hand
screw) by turning screw clockwise to raise pressure
setting, counterclockwise to decrease pressure
setting.
d. Set
cut-in
on
pressure
setting,
coun-
terclockwise to increase pressure setting.
e. Start unit and develop water flow through
switch.
f. Slowly close discharge valve(s) and observe
pressure on coil outlet gage.
g. When pressure gage reaches 350 psig, motor
should shut off.
h. When pressure drops to 150 psig, unit motor
should automatically restart.
i. If motor does not stop and start at pressures
specified in steps g and h of this paragraph, readjust
switch as indicated in steps c and d of this paragraph
and retest until proper settings are achieved.
j. Replace electrical control box cover.
5-14. Excess Temperature Switch (Refer to Fig
C-13)
a. Remove electrical control box cover.
b. Set dial indicator on switch to 370°F.
c. Start unit and initiate high fire, two gun, 300
GPH operational mode at 325°F.
d. After ½ hour operation at this mode, increase
thermostat setting until coil outlet temperature gage
reads 370°F.
e. If fire goes not trip, slowly decrease dial setting
on switch until fire shuts off.
f. Allow temperature to drop and reset switch.
g. Fire unit at high fire to 370°F to see if switch
cut-out setting repeats itself.
h. If setting does not repeat, perform steps e and f
of this paragraph until proper setting is reached.
i. Replace electrical control box cover.
