STEP 2 - Testing
a. Turn on power to oiler and pump circuits.
ith the boiler empty, the pump should turn on (5 or 5-M switch models) or the valve open
(7B or 7B-M switch models). The burner should remain off and boiler should begin to fill with water.
. For Automatic Reset Models
hen water level in the gauge glass is approximately 1 3/8” (35mm) above the horizontal cast line,
the burner should turn on.
For Manual Reset Models
hen water level in the gauge glass is approximately 1 3/8” (35mm) above the horizontal cast line,
press the manual reset button and the burner should turn on.
c. For 5 or 5-M Switch Models
hen water level in the gauge glass is approximately 2 1/8” (54mm) above the horizontal cast line,
the pump should turn off.
For 7B or 7B-M Switch Models
hen water level in the gauge glass is approximately 2 11/16” (68mm) above the horizontal cast
line, the valve should be closed.
d. ith the water in the boiler at its normal level and burner on, SLO LY open the blow-down valve
until it is fully open. As the water level in the gauge glass begins to drop, verify that the following
occurs.
For 5 or 5-M Switch Models
hen water level drops to approximately 1 1/8” (29mm) above the horizontal cast line, the pump
should turn on.
hen water level drops to the horizontal cast line, the burner should turn off.
For 7B or 7B-M Switch Models
As the water level drops, the valve should begin to open.
hen the water level drops to approximately 7/8” (22mm) above the horizontal cast line, the valve
should be full open.
hen the water level drops to the horizontal cast line, the burner should turn off.
e. Close the blow-down valve after burner turns off and restore water level to normal operating level.
f. Repeat testing procedure several times to ensure proper operation of control.
g. After testing and verification of control operation, the boiler can be returned to service.
– Dimensions shown are typical.
– The following testing procedure is only meant to serve as a verification of proper
operating sequence.
CAUTION
Immediately turn off all power if the urner turns on with no water in the gauge glass.
Investigate further efore continuing procedure.
CAUTION
If pump does not turn off or valve close, turn off water supply to oiler. Investigate
further efore continuing procedure.
