Label all wires prior to
disconnection when
servicing controls.
Wiring errors can cause
improper and dangerous
operation. Verify proper
operation after servicing.
ELECTRICAL WIRING (MILLI-VOLT)
The milli-volt valve is a self-powered combination gas control THAT DOES NOT REQUIRE 110 VAC TO OPERATE.

CONNECTING OPTIONAL WALL SWITCH
1. Use 18 awg, two-wire cable, 15 feet maximum length.
2. At one end of the cable, connect both wires to the wall switch. At the other end, connect one wire to TP/TH and one
wire to TH, or connect the wall switch to the two male (0.25") terminals on the left side of the unit. The color of the
wires does not matter.
A. COMPLETE MILLIVOLT SYSTEM CHECk
("A" Reading - On/Off switch contacts CLOSED - Control knob “ON” - Main Burners should turn ON)
a. If the reading is more than 175 millivolts and the automatic valve still does not come on - replace the valve.
b. If the closed circuit reading ("A" reading) is less than 175 millivolts, determine cause for low reading - proceed as
follows:
B. THERMOPILE OUTPUT READING CHECk
(“B” Reading - On/Off switch contacts OPEN - Main burner OFF)
Check gas pressure to the unit. If gas pressure is within minimum and maximum on data plate, then replace pilot. If the
minimum millivolt reading is not obtainable, replace pilot.
CHECkING SYSTEM OPERATION
The millivolt system and individual compo-
nents may be checked with a millivolt meter
having a 0-1000mv range. Conduct each
check shown in chart by connecting meter
test leads to terminals as indicated.
