Final calibration of the pressure switches
5.5.1
Air pressure switch
Adjust the air pressure switch (Fig. 34) after having performed all
other burner adjustments with the air pressure switch set to the
start of the scale.
With the burner working at MIN output, insert a combustion
analyser in the stack, slowly close the suction inlet of the fan (for
example, with a piece of cardboard) until the CO value does not
exceed 100 ppm.
Slowly turn the appropriate knob clockwise until the burner goes
into lockout.
Check the indication of the arrow pointing upwards on the gradu-
ated scale. Turn the knob clockwise again, until the value shown
on the graduated scale corresponds with the arrow pointing
downwards, and so recovering the hysteresis of the pressure
switch (shown by the white mark on a blue background, between
the two arrows).
Now check the correct start-up of the burner. If the burner locks
out again, turn the knob slightly anticlockwise. During these op-
erations it may be useful to measure the air pressure with a pres-
sure gauge.
The connection of the pressure gauge is shown in Fig. 34.
The standard configuration is that with the air pressure switch
connected in absolute mode. Note the presence of a "T" connec-
tion, not supplied.
In certain applications in strong depression situations, the con-
nection of the pressure switch does not allow it to change over.
In this case it is necessary to connect the pressure switch in dif-
ferential mode, applying a second tube between the air pressure
switch and the fan suction line mouth.
In this case also, the pressure gauge must be connected in differ-
ential mode, as shown in Fig. 34.
5.5.2
Maximum gas pressure switch
Adjust the maximum gas pressure switch (Fig. 35) after making
all other burner adjustments with the maximum gas pressure
switch set to the end of the scale.
To calibrate the maximum gas pressure switch, open the tap and
then connect a pressure gauge to its pressure test point.
The maximum gas pressure switch must be regulated to a value
no higher than 30% of the measurement read on the gauge when
the burner is working at maximum output.
After making the adjustment, remove the pressure gauge and
close the tap.
