(continued)
with instruments
For Ultra-399 propane boilers, special start-up is re-
quired. See page 41 for procedure. See DANGER on
page49 before proceeding.
1. Initiate a call for heat on one of the heat demand inputs.
2. Access the U-Control installer menus by pressing and holding the
UP and DOWN arrow keys for ve seconds.
3. Use the U-Control display to navigate to Manual test mode (see
Figure115,page102) and force the ring rate to MAX (high re).
4. Look at the ame through the ame inspection window. e high
re ame should be blue and should be stable. e burner surface
should be covered with orange dots.
5. Remove the ue temperature sensor from the ue pipe and insert
a combustion test probe., using a calibrated combustion test in-
strument.
6. Test for CO
2
(or O
2
) and for CO. e CO
2
values must be within
1.0% of the values listed in Figure42,page41. If results are ac-
ceptable, proceed to the next step. IF NOT, follow the instructions
under “rottle screw adjustment procedure” on page41 to set the
throttle screw position. See WARNING below.
If combustion at either high or low re is outside
the range given in Figure42, page41, follow the
procedure given on page41 for adjusting the throttle
screw on the venturi. If throttle screw adjustment
does not correct the problem, then shut down the
boiler and contact your local WM Technologies
representative. rottle screw adjustment must be
done only by a qualied technician, using calibrated
test instruments. Failure to comply could result in
severe personal injury, death or substantial property
damage.
7. Measure natural gas input:
a. Operate boiler 10 minutes.
b. Turn o other appliances.
c. At natural gas meter, measure time (in seconds) required to
use one cubic foot of gas.
d. Calculate gas input:
e. Btuh calculated should approximate input rating on boiler
rating label.
8. Use the U-Control display to navigate to Manual test mode (see
Figure115,page102) and force the ring rate to MIN (low re).
9. Look at the ame through the ame inspection window. e low
re ame should be stable and evenly distributed over burner
surface with a uniform orange color.
10. Repeat the combustion test of steps 4 and 5 above.
11. Use the U-Control display to navigate to Manual test mode (see
Figure115,page102) and force the ring rate to AUTO (normal
operation).
12. Replace the ue gas temperature sensor. When replacing the
sensor, remove the rubber grommet from the probe. Insert the
