If during the following sequence of
operations the heater fails to operate
correctly the fault should be traced and
rectified before proceeding, if necessary
referring to section 5.0 fault diagnosis. If for
any reason the pilot light is extinguished no
attempt should be made to re light it
within three minutes
a) Switch off the main electrical supply to the
heater
b) Turn off gas supply to the heater
c) Remove side panel, and connect
manometers to the gas supply test point and
to the main burner test point
d) Ensure outlet louver’s are correctly set
e) Ensure fan rotation is not impaired or
obstructed
f) Set room thermostat to its lowest setting
g) If a time switch is fitted ensure it is set to
an on period
h) Switch on electrical supply
i) Turn on gas supply, and open burner
viewing port
j) Depress and hold in control start button
and test for soundness
k) Continue to depress start button whilst
operating igniter until pilot light is present
l) Hold in start button for at least one minute
to establish pilot - carefully release button
confirming presence of pilot
Warning
If the pilot fails to become established do not
attempt to re light for at least three minutes ,
if the pilot is established continue as follows.
m) Close burner viewing port
n) Turn thermostat to the highest setting, and
the main burner will light then re-open the
viewing port and check that the main burner
is providing a good flame i.e. even, stable,
and conical.
o) Check pressure readings on the
manometers, and continue to let the heater
fire for ten minutes
p) When the fan starts ensure that the
direction of rotation is correct , and that the
fan start is within two minutes of burner
ignition
Caution
If the fan fails to operate within approximately
two minutes and the heater goes to overheat
it will shut down through breaking the circuit
to the gas valve, the cause must be
ascertained and rectified before re-ignition.
Once the limit thermostat has tripped out it
must be manually reset to allow re-ignition to
take place.
q) After ten minutes check burner head
pressure is as specification - adjust as
necessary by removal of the gas pressure
adjustment cover, and using a screwdriver
turn the adjustment screw on the governor as
follows: Anti clockwise to reduce. Clockwise
to increase.
r) Check that the gas pressure remains
satisfactory for all appliances on the same
circuit
s) Undertake combustion tests checking CO
CO
2
and efficiency (see section 7.0) check
for spillage using a dry, water
cooled ,rhodium or chromium plate.
t) Check that the burners are extinguished
when the thermostat is set to its lowest
setting, and then remove the manometers.
u) Turn the thermostat to its highest setting
to re light the burner and replace the
adjustment screw cover
v) Check flame failure circuit by loosening
the connection between the thermocouple
and the overheat limit control on the main
gas valve, the ignition and main burners
should go out, retighten after testing
w) Turn the thermostat to its lowest setting
and shut off the gas supply at the gas control
