Combustion Analysis Procedure

1. Turn the main power off to the boiler by placing the

“On/Off” switch in the OFF position.

2. Remove the flue temperature sensor from the flue pipe

connection. Note: Combustion measurements will be
made at this point.

3. Turn the main power on to the boiler by placing the

“On/Off” switch in the ON position.

4. Place the boiler into the active position by pressing the

RIGHT SELECT [ON] key (see page 7).

5. Locate the pinhole button below the RESET button on

the display board (see page 7). Insert a thin wire (such
as a paper clip) into the hole and press the button once
and hold for 5 seconds to place the boiler into Service
Mode. In Service Mode the boiler will fire at ignition
speed and will then modulate up to full fire.

6. Insert the probe from a combustion analyzer into the

hole left by the removal of the flue temperature sensor.

7. Once the boiler has modulated up to full fire, measure

the combustion. The values should be in the range
listed in Table 3-5 above. The CO levels should be less
than 150 ppm for a properly installed unit.

If the combustion is not within the specified range,
reference the chart below for possible causes and
corrective actions.

8. Once the combustion analysis is complete, test the safety

shutoff device by turning the manual shutoff switch to

the OFF position and ensuring that the boiler shuts

down and registers an alarm. Turn the manual shutoff

switch to the ON position, reset the control, and return

to Service Mode.

9. Turn the main power off to the boiler and replace the flue

temperature sensor into the flue pipe connection.

10. Place the boiler back into normal operation.

You must replace the flue gas temperature
sensor to prevent flue gas spillage into
the room. Failure to comply could
result in severe personal injury, death, or
substantial property damage.
