to comply could result in severe personal injury, death or substantial
property damage.

Bad primary
control
Check for 24 V on valve lead on control during TFI.
Check for 120 V on HSI lead on control during pre-purge.
Replace primary control if either above tests show negative.
Burner lights but
primary control

Incorrect air
setting
For initial light-off, set air throttle according to desired input.
Wrong orifi ce

Check orifi ce drill size.
Manifold
pressure
Adjust regulator to 3.5 W.C. for natural gas or propane.
Inadequate gas
supply
Line pressure requirements are: 5.0 W.C. for both natural and propane
fuels.
Line pressure in excess of 14.0 W.C. could damage combination gas
valve.
Watch line pressure gauge during TFI. If pressure drops below minimum
required when gas valve is energized look for partially closed gas cocks
in line, other appliances using the same supply or improperly adjusted
intermediate regulators.
If other appliances are on the same supply line and piping will not
sustain adequate pressure for all units on that piping, then it is
undersized. Check with gas utility.
Insuffi cient fl ame
signal
Check fl ame signal. Minimum signal 0.8 DC microamps.
Improper draft
Improperly adjusted air throttle setting for the fuel input.
Over-fi re draft is normally -0.01 W.C. Refer to boiler/furnace
manufacturer’s recommendations for specially packaged units.
Polarity
Check 120 V at L1 on terminal strip.
