Modulating gas valve
11.1
Function
The Modulating gas valve A in Fig. 1 controls the gas
inflow to the boiler burner.

Fig. 1
By means of an electric command given to the on---off
operators the passage of the gas through the Modula-
ting gas valve can be opened or closed.
By means of an electric command given to the modula-
tion operator the pressure can be varied and therefore
the gas flow rate to the burner (modulation). The mo-
dulation operator has mechanical components which
allow the adjustment of the minimum and maximum
pressure exiting the valve.

For the pressure values refer to the Technical data
section of the User manual and Installation instruc-
tions
Warning: isolate the boiler from the mains

covering or component.
1
Remove the case panels and the sealed chamber
lid (see section 2).
2
Open the gas valve inlet pressure test point (6 in
Fig. 2) at the valve input, connect a suitable pres-
sure gauge and check the gas pressure of the
supply network.
3
Remove the gauge and close the pressure test
point 6.
4
Open the gas valve outlet pressure test point (7
in Fig. 2) and connect the gauge;
