It must be ensured that the 2 test times are correctly set. It is to be checked whether the
gas required for the test may be fed into the combustion chamber (on the relevant appli-
cation). The test times are safety-related. After a reset and in the case of aborted or
prevented valve proving, the unit performs valve proving on the next startup (only when
valve proving is activated). In the case of a valve proving, prepurging is active during the
startup phase, even if it has been deactivated.
Examples of aborted valve proving:
When the safety loop or the start prevention input for gas (containing Pmin) opens dur-
ing valve proving.

6 Basic unit
When performing valve proving, the gas valve on the
burner side is opened first to bring the test space to at-
mospheric pressure.
Then, the valve is closed whereupon the pressure in the
test space must not exceed a certain level. Then, the
gas valve on the mains side is opened to fill the gas pi-
pe.
When the valve is closed again, the gas pressure must
not drop below a certain level.
