OPERATION Prior to starting up or operating the heater, check all fasteners for tightness. In particular, check the set screw in the wheel hub, bearings and the fan sheaves (pulleys). With power and gas to the heater OFF or prior to connecting ventilator to power, turn the fan wheel by hand to be sure it is not striking the inlet or any obstacles. Re-center if necessary. Start Up Special Tools Required • AC Voltage Meter • Amperage Meter • Tachometer • Manometer • Standard Hand Tools

Final Start Up Procedure 1. With the air and burner systems in full operation and all ducts attached, measure the system airflow. Motor sheave (pulley) is variable pitch, and allows for an increase or decrease of the fan RPM to adjust the airflow, as shown in the illustration below. For your convenience, a RPM chart is included in the following pages. 2. Once the proper airflow is achieved, measure and record the fan speed with a reliable tachometer. Caution - Excessive speed will result

Sequence of Operation The direct-fired heater is most easily understood when broken down into smaller individual systems. There are two main systems, a make-up air fan and a heater. The make-up air fan consists of a blower and motor. The heater may be further broken down into two control systems, the Flame Safety Control (FSC) and the Modulating Gas System (MGS). The burner mixes air with the gas (Natural or LP) which heats the air. Flame Safety Control The first system to understand is t

In the event that the pressure drop across the burner is not in the range of the airflow switch, gas flow to the burner is stopped by the Flame Safety Control. The graphs below illustrate the approximate cfm going through the unit vs. the differential pressure measured by the airflow switch. Simply measure the differential profile pressure drop at t
