Measure input. English unitsTurn off gas to all other
appliances.
• Activate some heating zones to dissipate heat.
• Set boiler on high re.
• Use ½, 1 or 2 cu ft dial on gas meter. Measure
time required for one or more complete
revolutions. Measure time for 1-2 minutes.
• Calculate input.

Two sampling points are available at top of the boiler, one
for venting and the other for combustion air. To sample:
Open the air/vent outlet plug.
Insert probes all the way in.
Turn on TEST mode, wait 10 minutes for boiler to stabilize;
Take measurement.
