Test Procedure
Requirements
Sustained operation and servicing of the X45 compressor above
4,000 ft (1219 m) requires the compressor setting be checked and/
or adjusted for proper combustion.
For sustained operation above 7000 feet (2134 m) the compressor
must be adjusted in order to maintain proper combustion.
1. Run heater until warm to the touch. This ensures the heater
components are up to normal operating temperature.
2. Switch heater off.
3. Connect Digital Manometer PK0037 (or analog gauge PK0060)
in-line as shown in figure A.
a) Basic Hand Tools.
b) Proheat Remote Start Switch (P/N 952925K).
c) Proheat Digital Manometer Test Gauge (P/N PK0037).
d) Or Proheat Analog Air Pressure Test Gauge (P/N PK0060).
If using PK0060, Analog air pressure
gauge, Calibrate gauge before each,
use refer to: www.proheat.com/PDFs/

NOTICE
Remove Pressure Gauge when finished
with measuring & setting procedure.
NOTICE
4. Locate the rubber boot on the positive end of the ignition coil and
peel it back to expose the positive terminal.

(2134 m) the compressor must be adjusted
in order to maintain proper combustion.
NOTICE
Figure B.
5. Select the DC Volts range of a multimeter and connect as per
Figure B. The positive lead of the multimeter should be attached to
the positive coil lead. The negative lead of the multimeter should
be attached to the heater chassis.
6. With the heater running in full output (flame on and ignition is
off) read the voltage at the coil to ensure voltage is nominally
12 +/- 1V for 12 V models and 24+/- 1V for 24 V models. Check
air pressure reading using the correct altitude for your location.
7. The reading must be within the range of the shaded area as
shown in figure C.

SERVICE BULLETIN

Compressor Adjustment If after performing the above checks and the air pressure is still
outside the recommended setting for your location, adjust the air
pressure by turning the screw as shown in figure D.
Altitude correction is needed above 7,000 feet (2134 m) (see figure C
on page 2).
If the air compressor pressure cannot
be adjusted back into normal range,
repair or replace air compressor.
Refer to parts manual.

Air Pressure Checks If air pressure is outside the recommended setting for your location
please perform the following checks before adjusting the compressor:
Low Pressure Reading – Check:
Ensure the coil voltage is nominally 12 ±1V for 12V models and 24 ±1V
for 24V models. If voltage is low, charge batteries and check compressor
reading again.
i) Inspect air line from compressor outlet to fan end inlet for leaks,
kinks or other restrictions.
ii) Check condition of air compressor filter. Retest with the filter
removed.
High Pressure Reading – Check:
Ensure the coil voltage is nominally 12 ±1V for 12V models and 24 ±1V
for 24V models. If voltage is high, stop charging batteries (turn engine
off) and check compressor reading again.
i) Nozzle and cavity for blockage. Refer to Step 5 on page 5-10 of
the X45 service manual.
