DANGER: The gas burner in this direct gas-fired system is designed and equipped to provide safe and
economically controlled complete combustion. However, if the installation does not permit the burner to
receive the proper supply of combustion air, complete combustion may not occur. The result is incomplete
combustion which produces carbon monoxide, a poisonous gas that can cause death.
Always comply with the combustion air requirements in the installation codes and operating instructions.
The amount of air over the burner must be within the specified range. The burner profile plates are set at
the factory to match CFM requirements. Do not adjust the burner profile plates without contacting the
factory. FAILURE TO PROVIDE PROPER COMBUSTION AIR CAN RESULT IN A HEALTH
HAZARD WHICH CAN CAUSE PROPERTY DAMAGE, SERIOUS INJURY, AND/OR DEATH. Directfired installations should provide for air changes as required by the applicable installation codes.

Profile plate sensing tubes should be checked quarterly and cleaned no
less than semiannually. If the sensing tubes become even partially
blocked, false pressure readings may be relayed. To clean, remove the
screened end caps. Clean the screens and the tubes, if necessary. Replace the cleaned end caps. Check the pressure differential across the
profile plate using a slope gauge. Air pressure differential should be
between -.5" and -.7" w.c.
To attach the slope gauge, open the control compartment door panel.
Just below the junction box, locate the tubing connections. Remove the
cap at each connection and attach the slope gauge using two fieldsupplied 1/4" x 1/8" female NPT barbed tubing connections. For instructions on measuring air pressure, see Service Section, Paragraph 9.
5. Circuit Indicator Board (check

WARNING: Do not enlarge burner ports or
performance may be drastically affected.
Inspect the upstream and downstream sides of the mixing plates.
Remove any accumulation of scale or foreign material with a wire
brush. If any mixing plate fasteners are loose or missing, tighten or
replace. Always use zinc plated or stainless fasteners.
If any cracks are present, replace that mixing plate. Because of the
effect of flame temperature on the metal, fasteners may be difficult
to remove. Be careful not to damage the gaskets that go between the
mixing plates and the burner body. The gaskets are designed to
overlap approximately 1/16" for tight air seal.
5) Follow Steps in reverse order to re-install the pilot assembly. Close
all panels and check for proper operation.
6. Main Burner and Pilot Assembly
S
For the most part, the burner and pilot are self cleaning. However, if the
application is extremely dirty or dusty, cleaning of the burner and pilot
may be necessary. Inspect the burner annually. Follow these instructions. If it is necessary to replace any parts, use only factory-authorized replacements.
1) Turn off the gas and power supply to the system.
2) Remove the door panels in the burner/control cabinet (four or six
depending on whether or not the system has return air). Locate the
pilot.
3) Disconnect the two ignition wires (male and female quick connections) and disconnect the flame sensor lead at the burner. Remove
the set screw located in the ignitor tube (set screw holds the brass
bushing in place). Carefully remove the brass bushing and the ignitor.
Check the hot surface ignitor for cracks or unusual deterioration.
Check the flame rod for integrity. Replace the flame rod (P/N 131188)
and/or the hot surface ignitor (P/N 121865) if not in good condition.
4) Clean the burner and pilot by back-flushing, using high pressure air
(40-80 lbs). Continue until dust particles are completely expelled
from both the upstream and downstream sides of the burner.
CAUTION: Wear eye protection while pressure
cleaning and drilling.

Function: The emergency cut off is a fus-
ible link high temperature limit which provides one-time redundant protection
against overheating. If the temperature
sensitive limit control malfunctions, the
electrically activated emergency cutoff will
shutdown the system.
Service: If this limit activates, the manual
limit control has failed and must be replaced. The cause for activating the emergency cut off limit control must be found and corrected before restarting the system.

9. Air Pressure Switches
Location: Control Compartment Electrical Box (See Figure 7.)
Depending on the options selected, there are two or four switches.
Figure 12 - Air
Pressure Switch
Attach a slope gauge (0 to 1.0" scale) to the tubing connections in the
control compartment. The two connections are located below the electrical control box. Remove the caps on the 1/8" NPT test connections
and attach the slope gauge. (The recommended method for attaching the
slope gauge is to use field-supplied 1/8" female NPT x 1/4" O.D. barbed
hose connections.)
A) If the system includes an optional discharge damper, before measur-
ing burner differential air pressure, check to be sure that the damper
is fully open.
B) With the blower operating, the pressure differential on the slope
gauge should read between -.5" and -.7" w.c. If the slope gauge
reading is within those limits, no adjustments are necessary.
If the slope gauge reading is not within the setpoint limits of the air
flow switches (.2" to .9" w.c.), and the system is operating, replace
the air pressure switch(es).
If the slope gauge reading is not between -.5" and -.7" w.c., but
within the setpoint limits, clean the sensing tubes (Follow the instructions in Maintenance Section, Paragraph 4).
C) When air pressure is within the proper range, turn the disconnect
switch OFF. Disconnect the manometer and the slope gauge. Replace the caps removed to connect the slope gauge.
Service: If the pressure check determines that an air flow switch is not
functioning properly, the switch cannot be serviced and must be replaced with an identical replacement. Low air pressure switch is P/N
86986; high air pressure switch is P/N 86987; bypass damper switches,
P/N 87249 (normally closed, set to open at .5" w.c.) or P/N 87250
(normally open, set to close at .65" w.c.).
• Low Air Flow Switch
Function: The low air flow switch is a velocity pressure switch that
monitors air flow across the burner. Until the air flow attains adequate
volume for combustion, the switch remains open. When the switch
recognizes adequate air volume, it closes, permitting both the pilot and
burner to operate. Low pressure switch is normally open; it closes on
pressure rise at .2" w.c. Do not alter or adjust setting.
• High Air Flow Switch
Function: The high air flow switch is a velocity pressure switch that
monitors air flow across the burner. If the high air flow switch senses air
velocity above the prescribed limit, it will shutdown gas flow to the
burner. High pressure switch is normally closed; it opens when pressure rises above .9" w.c. Do not alter or adjust setting.
• Bypass Damper Air Flow Switches (systems
with Air Control Options AR19, AR20, AR22, AR23,
AR32, AR33, AR34, AR36, or AR37)
Function: With a bypass damper, the volume of outside air supplied
to the building is adjusted by a manually set potentiometer (Option
AR19 and AR22) or automatically by a pressure null switch (Option
AR20 or AR23), a photohelic pressure switch (Option AR36 or AR37),
or a field-supplied computer signal (Option AR33 or AR34). With
Options AR19, AR20, AR33, and AR36 the supply air is varied by
adjusting the position of a damper at the blower discharge. With Options AR22, AR23, AR34, and AR37, a return air damper is adjusted to
vary the volume of return air. The unit is arranged so that a fixed amount
(20%) of the rated volume flows over the burner at a constant velocity.
The remainder (80%) of the rated air volume flows either through a
balancing bypass damper or a combination of bypass and return air
dampers. As the supply air volume is varied by the return air or discharge damper, the balancing damper is adjusted to maintain the required air velocity over the burner. Adjustment of the bypass damper is
controlled by the bypass damper pressure switches. One pressure
switch is normally closed with a setting of .5" w.c.; the other is normally open with a setting of .65" w.c. balancing bypass damper.
Sensing Pressure Check: (requires a slope gauge, several feet of
1/4" O.D. tubing and two 1/4" O.D. barbed tees.)

Hot Surface Ignition System with Prepurge
Time Delay and Flame Sensor with 100%
Lockout
Function: The ignition system including the controller, the hot surface
ignitor, and the flame sensor function to ignite and prove the pilot
flame. When there is a call for heat, the modular ignition controller is
energized. When the controller reads 1.4 amps going to the hot surface
ignitor, it opens the pilot valve for a 15-second trial for ignition. After
the pilot flame rod senses pilot flame, the main gas valve is energized. If
the pilot flame rod does not sense a pilot flame, the controller shuts
down the pilot valve for a 10-second interpurge and then opens it again
for a second ignition trial. If pilot flame is not proven on the second
trial, the ignition controller locks out and must be manually reset by an
interruption of the main circuit (disconnect switch).
Service: The modular ignition controller does an internal self-check
each time that it is energized and will lockout if not found to be func-

Burner, Gas Control Systems,
Manifold Arrange-ments, and Gas
Pressure Switches
Direct-Fired Burner
Function: The design of the direct-fired burner and the con-
trolled velocity of air at the burner ensure complete combustion
through the full range of burner sizes and gas inputs as determined
by the gas control system. The velocity of air is controlled by the
profile plates and monitored by a standard low and high air pressure switch.
Service: Refer to Paragraph 6 in the Maintenance Section for
instructions on burner maintenance.
For troubleshooting guides and further explanation of Maxitrol Series 14 and
44 electronic modulation gas control systems, refer to the Maxitrol literature
in the owner's envelope.
The Option AG30, AG31, AG32 and AG35 electronic modulation systems
are comprised of Maxitrol Series 14 controls. Options AG30 and AG31
systems electronically maintain a constant discharge air temperature in the
range of 55-90°F (55-75°F for C.G.A.). Option AG31 includes an overriding
thermostat. Option AG32 system will maintain a constant discharge air
temperature in the range of 80-130°F. Option AG35 maintains a discharge
temperature range of 120-160°F.

Makeup Air Gas Control Systems
• Electronic Modulation Gas Control
Options AG30, AG31, AG32, AG33, AG35,
AG36
Refer to the wiring diagrams in the main electrical box to determine which controls are on the system being serviced. NOTE: All
field-supplied control wiring for Maxitrol controls must not be
run inside conduit with line voltage wiring. To avoid any potential
electrical interference, all field-supplied wiring for Maxitrol controls should be shielded wiring and must be grounded at the unit
only.
Function: These makeup air gas control systems provide heated
makeup air at a temperature controlled by a discharge air sensor.
Each system is equipped with electronic modulation controls
that modulate burner flame from 1/25th of full fire input to full
fire.
The electronic modulating-type gas controls act in response to
discharge and/or room air temperature sensors to change the gas
flow rate to the burner, thus lengthening or shortening the flame.
The BTU output is varied (modulated) to maintain the required
discharge air temperature.
These modulating gas control options are electronic because in all
cases the gas valve acts to adjust the flow of the gas to the main
burner in response to DC volts emanating from an amplifier.
When the DC voltage is between 0 and 5 volts, the main valve seat
is closed. Low fire flow is accomplished through a mechanical
bypass. The low fire flow rate is set at the factory and should not
need adjustment. However, if adjustment is necessary, refer to
the Maxitrol literature that is included in the heater owner's envelope.
All of the electronic modulating gas control burner systems include low fire start. On an initial call for heat, the main burner
ignites at its lowest input. During mild weather, the burner may
then cycle off. Such full shutdown can be dictated by the outdoor
ambient cutoff control. As the outside air temperature climbs
above the setpoint of the outdoor ambient control, the burner
control circuit is de-energized. When moderately cold outside air
temperatures exist, the burner will modulate between low flame
and high flame. Low fire start and the outdoor ambient control
prevent the makeup air system from heating already warm air and
providing "too much" heat to the building.
Temperature
Selector
Option AG33 electronic modulation system is comprised of Maxitrol Series
44 controls. The low limit (20-60°F) and the high limit (60-140°F) for control of discharge air temperature are set at the amplifier located in the control
compartment. The space temperature is set at the remote selectrastat (5590°F range) located in the space. When the temperature is below the space
temperature setpoint, the control system operates the burner to automatically adjust the discharge air temperature within the maximum and minimum
limits set on the amplifier.

Arrangements (cont'd)
Service - All Maxitrol Controls: Check all electrical connec-
tions. A qualified service person should refer to the Maxitrol Troubleshooting Guides for assistance in identifying problems and determining
the correct solution. None of the Maxitrol controls have field replaceable parts. All components must be replaced with identical replacement
parts.
Figure 19 - Gas Manifold Control Components
Solenoid Valve
Modulating/
Regulating
Valve
Manifold Arrangements
Description: The manifold is the gas train from the gas supply con-
nection to the burner. The manifold selection ordered determines the
manifold arrangement including all of the gas train components except
the main control valve. Manifold arrangements are available for varying
BTUH ranges and gas controls and include versions that meet FM or
IRI requirements.
In addition to the Maxitrol valve and two solenoid valves, all manifold
arrangements include main gas and pilot gas shut-off cocks, a pilot
regulator, and a pilot solenoid valve.
The table below lists the pressure drops through the various types of
manifolds by option designation (BM). To determine the required minimum supply pressure for natural gas, add 5.0" w.c. to the natural gas
manifold pressure drop. For propane gas, add 2.0" w.c.
If the gas train includes either or both
high and low gas pressure switches,
the switches monitor gas pressure
downstream from the safety valves.
If the gas pressure in a system equipped
with a high gas pressure switch (Option BP2) exceeds the setpoint, the
switch will open the electrical circuit
to the burner, stopping all gas flow.
The high gas pressure switch is a manually reset device.
A low gas pressure switch (Option
BP3) will shutoff the gas flow if the
gas pressure drops below the setpoint
of the low pressure switch. The low
gas pressure switch will automatically
reset when the gas pressure rises above
the setpoint.
(NOTE: Both high and low gas pressure switches incorporate a vent limiting device and do not require
venting to the outdoors when used in an application installed indoors.)

12. Outside Air Cutoff Control (Option BN2;
required on C.G.A.-certified units)
Location: The control is in the electrical
box (See Figure 7.); the sensor is in the air
inlet.
Function: After sensing pilot flame, the
burner ignites at its lowest input rate. The
"amount of heat" required to reach the desired discharge temperature also depends on
the temperature of the incoming outside air.
The outside air control is factory set at 60°F
(adjustable 25-250°F). The burner reacts
differently depending on the entering air temperature and the setting on the outside air
control. The burner --
• may not ignite (pilot valve will not open);
If the actual temperature of the outside
air is above the setpoint on the outside air control, the burner will
not ignite.
• may modulate to satisfy discharge setting;
• may shutdown; or
Figure 21 Outside Air
Cutoff Control
Burner shutdown or modulating operation will depend on the temperature rise between the outside air and the discharge air setting.
• may remain on continuous low fire.
If the outside air control is set too high, the burner will continuously
burn on low fire as long as the control switch is set to "winter".
When the outside air control is set properly for the climate, the system
blower will continue to provide the required makeup air (ventilation) at
the ambient outdoor temperature (burner not operating) even when the
control switch is set to "winter".
Service: If the control does not function properly, replace it with an
identical switch.
13. Door Switch (Option BX1; required on
C.G.A.-certified units)
Location: The control is installed on an overhead door opening to control the operation of
the heater to coincide with the opening and closing of the door.
Function: The function of the switch is to energize and interlock the heating unit when an outside overhead door reaches approximately 80%
of full open travel. The switch will de-energize
the furnace when the overhead door closes approximately 20%. The complete switch includes
a limit switch electrically wired to the heater and a roller yoke for
mechanical activation by a field-supplied trigger on the overhead door.

Air Flow Dampers
Function: Dampers operate in response to controls to provide the
rated flow of makeup air to the building.
Service: Clean dampers of dust or dirt.
Damper Motor
Function: The damper motor automatically actuates the return air, bypass, and/or discharge
dampers in response to an electrical control device. The damper motor is direct-coupled to the
dampers so there is no damper linkage to adjust.
Service: There is no service required on these
motors other than external cleaning. If the motors need replaced, replace with an identical
damper motor.
Potentiometer
Function: The potentiometer is a manually set
switch that operates either the discharge damper
(Option AR19) or the return air damper (Option AR22) providing a mixture of return and
outside air. It is a remotely located switch that
requires manual adjustment.
Figure 23 Damper Motor
Figure 24 Potentiometer,
P/N 16110
Service: If the potentiometer does not func-
tion properly, replace it with an identical switch.
Pressure Null
Switch (automatic
building pressure
sensor)
Description/Function:
The pressure null switch is
a diaphragm operated differential pressure switch used
in makeup air applications
to automatically control
building pressure. It maintains a selected positive or negative pressure
setpoint by changing the amount of outside air being introduced to the
building through modulating outside air damper. As more pressure is
required in the building, the pressure null switch activates the damper
motor driving the outside air damper towards the full open position
(causing the bypass return air damper to go toward the closed position). Conversely, as less pressure is required, the switch drives the
outside air damper in the opposite direction.
Service: Clean the tubing and the screened ends of the pressure tap
vents. Be sure that the switch is installed with the diaphragm in a
vertical plane and that the pressure taps are sheltered from the wind.
For further service, follow the manufacturer's instructions included
with the switch.
Photohelic Pressure Switch (automatic
building pressure sensor)
Description/Function: The
photohelic pressure switch is a
phototransister relay operated
positive pressure switch used
in makeup air applications to
automatically control building
pressure. It maintains a selected
positive pressure setpoint by
changing the amount of outside
air being introduced to the
building through a modulating outside air damper. As more pressure is
required in the building, the switch activates the damper motor driving
the outside air damper towards the full open position (causing the
bypass return air damper to go toward the closed position). Conversely, as less pressure is required, the switch drives the outside air
damper in the opposite direction.
Service: Clean the tubing and the screened ends of the pressure tap
vents.
If the interior of the switch is protected from dust, dirt, corrosive gases
and fluids, years of trouble-free service may be expected. Zero adjustment should be checked and reset occasionally to maintain accuracy;
follow the manufacturer's instructions included with the switch.
There are no field-repairable parts in this switch. If the switch should
require repair, contact either the system or the switch manufacturer
concerning switch replacement or repair.

15. Dirty Filter Switch
Location: Switch is located in the
main electrical box (See Figure 7);
sensor tubes run to either side of
the filter rack; indicator light is on
the remote console.
Function: The dirty filter
switch is a pressure switch that
activates an indicator light on the
remote console when the filters
need cleaned or replaced (See Service Section, Paragraph 2). This
switch is only on systems with an optional console that includes a dirty
filter light. The pressure switch is set during installation so that the light
will be activated at approximately 50% filter blockage. Contacts should
close at .17 to 5.0" w.c. ± .05" w.c.
Service: Clean the sensor tubes. If the dirty filter indicator system still
does not function properly, check the setting of the switch. With clean
filters in place, blower doors closed, and blower in operation, decrease
the pressure setting by adjusting the set screw on the switch clockwise
until the filter light is energized or screw is bottomed out. At that point,
adjust the set screw three full turns counterclockwise or until the screw
is top ended.
If it is determined that the switch needs replacing, use an identical
switch. When a new switch is installed, it must be manually set; follow
the instructions above.
16. Photoelectric Smoke Detector (Option
SA1)
Location: Field-mounted in
the discharge ductwork.
Function: The detector will
shut down the system if
smoke is detected in the discharge ductwork.
Service: Clean the external
surface. Check the wiring and
connections.

Detector (cover removed), P/N
159553, used with sampling tube,
P/N 159714
17. Firestat (Option BD5)
Location: Field-mounted on the discharge ductwork so that the sensor
extends into the duct. This control
requires manual reset so should be
mounted in an accessible location.
Function: The firestat will shut
down the system if the temperature
in the ductwork reaches 200°F. The
switch must be manually reset.
Service: Clean the external surface. Check the wiring and connections.

P/N 42782
18. Freezestat (Option BE2)
Location: The control is in the
blower section electrical box; the
sensing bulb is field-mounted in the
discharge duct.
Function: The freezestat will shut
down the system if the discharge
temperature falls below the
setpoint. The switch is automatic
and will startup the heater when
the temperature reaches the
setpoint.
Service: Clean the external surface.
Check the wiring and connections.
