w.c.) CFM Size 4 Size 5 Modulating Gas System The second system, the Maxitrol modulating gas system, consists of a temperature selector dial, a discharge air sensor, an amplifier, and a Maxitrol 14 modulating gas valve. The two types of Maxitrol systems used are the Maxitrol Amplifier14 series or the Maxitrol 44 series. The Maxitrol 14 utilizes a discharge air sensor and modulates the Maxitrol gas valve to provide discharge air to match the selected temperature on the temperature selector. The Maxitrol 44 utilizes a room temperature sensor to control room temperature as well as a discharge air sensor in order to control the discharge air temperature. The modulating gas valve controls the amount of gas flow to the burner based on the temperature rise needed. When the modulating gas valve is all the way open and achieving the maximum BTUs and temperature rise of the unit, it is called “high fire”. High Temperature Limit One of the back up safety device is the high temperature limit switch. High Temperature Limit This switch is a mechanical thermostat that measures the temperature inside the unit downstream of the burner. If the factory-set temperature of 170°F is exceeded, it will signal the FSC to turn off the burner. This requires a manual reset of the high temperature limit. This insures that the discharge does not exceed 185°F. Operation Summary • With the blower already running and the airflow switch proven; • The outside air temperature falls below the setting of intake air thermostat or • The optional remote panel is set to “Manual” and “Heat” mode • The FSC in energized and the following occurs; • FSC indicates that it has power by illuminating the OPR CTRL LED • FSC verifies proper Airflow 16 • Begins Pilot Trial For Ignition and turns on PTFI LED • The pilot gas solenoid valve is opened, the spark igniter begins sparking, and the flamerod sensor watches for flame initiation • When flame is established, the FLAME LED is illuminated and main valve opens and the FSC powers the Maxitrol system and gas flow begins modulating • The FSC monitors the flame while the Maxitrol system adjusts to the selected temperature • The Maxitrol system checks the discharge air temperature (and the room temperature for the Maxitrol 44) and regulates the gas going to the burner to satisfy the temperature setting. The Maxitrol system will modulate the main burner gas from 100% down to 5% as needed.
