18.2.5 Valve proving of gas valves
Valve proving is dependent on parameter 241 and/or on the input of valve proving
ON/OFF (X2-02). This is valve proving designed to detect leaking gas valves and, if
necessary, prevent the valves from opening or ignition from being switched on. Lockout
is initiated.
Valve proving with separate pressure switch
Step 1: td4 – test space evacuating.
Gas valve on the burner side is opened to bring the test space to
atmospheric pressure.
Step 2: td1 – test atmospheric pressure.
When the gas valve has closed, the gas pressure in the test space
must not exceed a certain level.
Step 3: td3 – test space filling.
Gas valve on the mains side opens to fill the test space.
Step 4: td2 – test gas pressure.
When the gas valve has closed, the gas pressure in the test space
must not drop below a certain level.

Valve proving can be parameterized to take place on startup, shutdown, or both.
Recommendation:
Perform valve proving on shutdown.

Note!
If valve proving is parameterized to take place on startup and shutdown,
the gas valves must run through additional switching cycles. As a result,
strain (wear) on the gas valves and the relay increases.
