Introduction and Dimensions

Selectra SERIES 14 electronic gas flame modulation
systems are designed primarily for make-up air heating, as
components of direct fired equipment. They may be field
installed on existing equipment or specified for new
equipment installation. Natural, manufactured, mixed, LP
and LP gas air mixture are compatible gases.

The systems utilize Modulator or Modulator-Regulator
valves. Amplifiers are available with adjustable low-fire
start duration, and with integral or remote temperature
selection. A discharge air temperature sensor is mounted
within a mixing tube housing.

Optional - a room override thermostat provides space
temperature control by raising the discharge air temperature
to a pre-selected point - when used in conjunction with the
remote temperature selector.
Optional - an inlet air sensor (and mixing tube) provides
inverse change in discharge air for each degree change in
inlet air - when installed in a convenient duct location
upstream of the burner.
Optional - a dual temperature selector replaces TD114 to
provide dual control for door heaters, or other applications
such as paint spray booths (TD214_ or _X, or AD1214_).

Installation of Components

Control wires connected to the Override Stat, Discharge
Air Sensor, or Remote Temperature Selector must not
be run close to or inside conduit with power or ignition
wires. Doing so may cause the unit to function
erratically or may destroy the amplifier. If shielded
wires are used, shield must be insulated and grounded
at the amplifier location only.

Remote (or Dual) Selector: Install in control cabinet or
other chosen location. NOTE: Suffix letters must match,
e.g. TS114A must be used with TD114A. For wiring runs
longer than 200 ft. substitute ES261-1/ES261-2 for TD114.
The ES261s are a 2-piece version of the TD114. ES261-1
is a temperature setting dial only, ES261-2 must be
mounted at furnace location.

Wiring Run: If control wiring is inside conduit with

line voltage wiring, use shielded cable up to 100 ft.

For best results up to 200 ft., run control wiring in

separate conduit. For longer runs see Remote
Selector below.

Discharge Temperature Sensor / Mixing Tube
Assembly: sensor housed in mixing tube, install in

discharge air stream.

Optional:

Dual Temperature Selector: see preceding Remote/Dual
selector.

Amplifier / Amplifier-Selector: contains the wiring
terminals and sensitivity adjustment - install in any
convenient location that is protected from the weather and
contaminated atmosphere.

Room Override Stat: mount in heated area not in direct
path of discharge air stream.

Inlet Air Sensor: install in convenient location upstream of
burner, in intake air duct.

Typical Gas Trains

Modulator (M) or Modulator-Regulator (MR) Valve: Mount in upright position in horizontal run of pipe, downstream of

Preliminary Circuit Analysis

For ease in troubleshooting, it is advisable to wire the
system as follows (this differs from the normal connection).
The Discharge Air Sensor is disconnected and replaced
with a 10,000 ohm, 1/2 watt test resistor (terminals 3 and

4). If inlet air sensor is being used, disconnect and replace
with a jumper. On units where the Remote Temperature
Selector is located a considerable distance from the heater,
it may be advantageous to connect the selector at the
heater location.

Connect a DC volt meter (capable of reading 0-24 V DC) on
the Modulator or Modulator-Regulator Valve terminals.
Set the temperature to the minimum dial setting. The DC
voltage should read 0 volts. The DC voltage should
gradually increase to at least 20 volts as you slowly rotate
the dial to the maximum dial setting. If these voltages are
obtained, the valve function can now be checked out.

The operation of the Valve with regard to voltage is as
follows: from 0 volts to approximately 5 volts, the
modulating valve should be on bypass flow with the heater
operating on low or minimum fire. From approximately 5
volts to 15 volts DC, the valve should be performing its
modulating function, and the heater should be firing at a

modulated flow rate between low and high fire, depending
upon the voltage. Above approximately 15 volts DC, the
Valve should be delivering full flow to the heater and the
unit should be on full fire. If the DC voltage is obtained on
the Valve terminals, but the heater does not respond as
described, the problem can be isolated to the valve itself or
to the gas control manifold of the heater (see check list,
pages 4 and 5).

In the event proper voltages are obtained, and the Valve
responds correctly to these DC voltages, the problem could
well be in the wiring leading to the Discharge Air Sensor or
the Discharge Air Sensor itself. This should be also
reviewed in the check list.

If the proper voltages are not obtained when wired as
instructed, the problem can be isolated to the electronics
and this may once again be reviewed in the check list.

After test, remove the test resistor and reconnect the
Discharge Air Sensor to terminals 3 and 4. If Remote
Temperature Selector has been moved return it to its
original position.

Low Fire Start Time Adjustment Sensitivity Adjustment

On A1014L1 and AD1014L1 amplifiers, the low fire start
duration is adjustable from approximately 0-30 seconds,
and begins timing after the amplifier has been energized.

High fire is delayed, and the M/MR valve remains in the low
fire setting position during the delay time period.

Use a small screwdriver to adjust the time delay
potentiometer.

Turn clockwise (+) to increase low fire start duration, and
counter-clockwise (-) to decrease low fire start duration.

(cover removed)

The sensitivity control will allow the user to control the
response of the system. Caution should be exercised in
the use of this adjustment. Under normal usage the pointer
should be located on the mark on the label.

If hunting is encountered (rapid oscillation), rotating the
sensitivity control counter-clockwise will dampen the
oscillation - stabilizing the flame.

DO NOT adjust unless necessary, because decreasing the
sensitivity will increase the temperature “DROOP” of the
system.

Temperature Calibration

NOTE: The components of this system are individually
calibrated and are not part of a matched set. It is
necessary to place an accurate temperature measuring
device as near the Discharge Air Sensor as possible.

Set the Remote Temperature Selector at least 10 degrees
above outside air temperatures.

If calibrating at the
A1014 Amplifier: Adjust

calibration potentiometer
(A), until temperature
reads the same as the
set temperature. If the
temperature is below
the set point, then

A

rotate calibration
potentiometer clockwise. If the temperature is above the
set point, rotate the potentiometer counter-clockwise.

Valve Adjustments

(See bulletin MT2035 for additional M/MR valve information)

NOTE: Low fire adjustment should be checked whenever the high fire adjustment is changed.

If calibrating at the TD114 Remote Temperature
Selector: If measured temperature is below set

temperature, rotate the calibration potentiometer clockwise
until the correct temperature is obtained. If the temperature
is above the set point the potentiometer should be turned
counter-clockwise. Proceed slowly with the above steps so
as to allow the
temperature
measuring
instrument to catch
up with the change in
temperature.

High Fire Manifold Adjustments:

1. Disconnect wires from amplifier terminal #4. This
causes the valve to call for continuous high fire.

2. Remove seal cap (A), and turn
regulator pressure adjusting screw
to obtain desired manifold
pressure. (Clockwise rotation
increases pressure.)

3. Reconnect the wires to amplifier
terminal #4.

NOTE: If low fire bypass is on
maximum, the desired high fire outlet
pressure may not be achieved.

Low Fire or Bypass Adjustments:

1. Disconnect wire from amplifier terminal

low fire.

2. Remove cap (B), and loosen lock screw (C). Turn (D) to
