Setup your combustion analyser and place the sensor
into the combustion test port
16.
Per Table B for Max Fire
,
change dip switch 6 to ON and 7 to OFF.
The unit will cycle up to MAX  re.
17.
WAIT for your combustion analyser to stabilize. This may take up to 3 minutes depending on your combustion
analyser. Then check the CO
2
measurement for MAX  re. Refer to Table D for acceptable MAX  re
combustion readings. At this point, just record the CO
2
readings at MAX Fire. Do NOT attempt to adjust
CO
2
at MAX Fire. ONLY in MIN Fire, so...
18.
Per Table B for MIN Fire
,
change dip switch 6 to OFF and 7 to ON. The unit will cycle down to MIN Fire.
19.
WAIT for your combustion analyser to stabilize. Then check the CO
2
measurement at MIN  re. Refer to
Table D for acceptable MIN  re combustion readings.
20.
If CO
2
readings in Max Fire and MIN  re are acceptable, then skip ahead to Step 23. If not, then open the
Gas Valve Adjustment Port by removing the cap screw with a 4mm Allen wrench. See Figure E.
21.
Then use the 4 mm Allen wrench to make a minor adjustment (1/8 turn) to either increase or decrease CO

Note; The greatest installation di󰀨erence between the FTCF140 and FTCF199, other than general output capability
(BTU’s), is that the air inlet and exhaust vents are opposite. See Section 2.4
