ƽ WARNING
When re-tightening the set screw, be
sure to tighten securely to prevent gas
leaks.
Do not check for gas leaks with an open
flame -- use the bubble test. Failure to
use the bubble test or check for gas leaks
can cause severe personal injury, death,
or substantial property damage.
14. Turn on the gas supply at the manual gas valve.
15. Turn on power at source.
16. Adjust the temperature set point on the control panel
of the SMART SYSTEM control module to the desired
water temperature so the appliance will call for heat.
17. Check burner performance by cycling the system while
you observe burner response. The burner should
ignite promptly. Flame pattern should be stable. Turn
system off and allow burner to cool, then cycle burner
again to ensure proper ignition and flame
characteristics.
Gas Pressure
The gas pressure must remain between 4 inches w.c. (natural),
8 inches w.c. (LP) minimum and 14 inches w.c. (natural and LP)
maximum during stand-by (static) mode and while in operating
(dynamic) mode. If an in-line regulator is used, it must be a
minimum of 10 feet from the Knight wall mount boiler. It is
very important that the gas line is properly purged by the gas
supplier or utility company. Failure to properly purge the
lines or improper line sizing, will result in ignition failure. The
problem is especially noticeable in NEW LP installations and
also in empty tank situations. This can also occur when a utility
company shuts off service to an area to provide maintenance to
their lines.
Gas valve replacement
The gas valve MUST NOT be replaced with a conventional gas
valve under any circumstances. As an additional safety feature,
this gas valve has a flanged connection to the venturi and blower.

DETAIL
Figure 7-3 Inlet Gas Supply Check
DO NOT adjust or attempt to measure
gas valve outlet pressure. The gas valve is
factory-set for the correct outlet pressure.
This setting is suitable for natural gas and
propane, requiring no field adjustment.
Attempting to alter or measure the gas
valve outlet pressure could result in
damage to the valve, causing potential
severe personal injury, death, or substantial
property damage.
Failure to follow all precautions could
result in fire, explosion, or death!
