Installation
IMPORTANT: Only qualified personnel should
install or service BASO® Gas Products products.
These instructions are a guide for such personnel.
Carefully follow all instructions in this document and
all instructions for the appliance.
IMPORTANT: Make all gas installations in
accordance with applicable local, national, and
regional regulations.
!
CAUTION: Risk of Electric Shock.
Disconnect power supply before making electrical
connections to avoid electric shock.
!
WARNING: Risk of Explosion or Fire.
Shut off the gas supply at the main manual shutoff
valve before installing or servicing the G196. Failure
to shut off the gas supply can result in the release of
gas during installation or servicing, which can lead to
an explosion or fire, and may result in severe
personal injury or death.
!
WARNING Risk of Explosion, Fire, or
Electric Shock. Label all wires before they are
disconnected when replacing or servicing the G196.
Wiring errors can cause improper or dangerous
operation and may result in an explosion, fire, or
electric shock leading to severe personal injury or
death.
IMPORTANT: Verify that the valve is installed
only in applications where the specified maximum
ambient (surface) temperature and maximum
operating pressures do not exceed the limits in the
Technical Specifications section.
To install the G196 valve:
1. Shut off power to the appliance.
2. Shut off the gas at the main manual shutoff valve.
3. Label each wire with the correct terminal
designation prior to disconnection.
4. Compare the voltage on the valve with the power
source voltage to ensure the correct unit is being
installed. For valves with 25-volt coils, use a
National Electrical Code (NEC) Class 2
transformer.
Note: The transformer must be mounted to a
grounded metal enclosure.
5. Ensure that the gas flows through the valve body
in the direction indicated by the arrow on the
valve body. If the valve is installed with the gas
flow in the opposite direction of the arrow,
leakage can occur.
