SECTION IX - MESTEK LINE BURNERS Inspection and Maintenance of Gas Ports Conduct initial inspection within the first month after commissioning. Visually check the gas ports of new burner assemblies for any piping scale or debris. Use Pin Vise with drill bit to remove. Use of an electric drill motor is not suggested unless both Pin Vise and Drill can be chucked up in a varispeed drill unit. Use caution, because it is easy to snap the bits off in a port when using a drill motor.
SECTION X - MANIFOLD AND VALVE ADJUSTMENTS The I/O Zone 583 Controller (UC-01) must be calling for the burner to be enabled. The DO-2 light will be on and Burner Enable Relay (RE-28) needs to be energized. This will put power to the Burner Relay (RE-02). If the outside air temperature is above the Heating Economizer 65°F Setpoint the burner will be disabled.
CIRCUIT ANALYSIS – MAXITROL GAS VALVES Connect a DC volt meter (capable of reading 0-24V DC) on the Modulator (M611) or Modulator-Regulator (MR212) Valve terminals. The operation of the Valve with regard to voltage is as follows: from 0 volts to approximately 5 volts, the modulating valve should be on bypass flow with the heater operating on low or minimum fire.
SECTION XII - REPLACEMENT PARTS Replacement parts may be ordered from the factory. All warranty parts will be shipped freight allowed from factory for normal ground service. Warranty parts must be returned prepaid within 30 days. Credit will be issued if part is complete, defective and returned on time.
