The test volumes V
p1
and V
p2
(gas solenoid valves V1
and V2, relief valve V3, the burner valves and the pipe-
work) are checked to test the system tightness of the
entire gas inlet section.
Program sequence
At the start of the tightness test, the relief valve V3 is
opened to reduce the pressure of the test volume V
p2
to around atmospheric pressure. The opening time for
V3 can be defined using parameter 55, see page 110
(Opening time relief valve V3). The tightness con-
trol queries the pressure p
Z
using the external pres-
sure switch to check the first test volume. If pressure
p
Z
> p
u
/2, program A starts, see page 43 (Program A).
If pressure p
Z
< p
u
/2, program B starts, see page 44
(Program B).
