Check continuity of ignition cable and ground wire.

Clean flame rod.

Check electrical connections beween flame rod and module.

Check for cracked ceramic flame rod insulator.

Check that pilot flame covers flame rod and is steady blue.

Adjust pilot flame.

If problem persists, replace module.

Unplug Ignition Lead

and check spark

at module

(24VAC nominal)

Spark OK?

Check ignition cable, ground wiring, Ceramic Insulator and gap. Correct as necessary

Check boot of ignition cable for signs of melting or buckling. Take protective

actions to shield cable and boot from excessive temperatures.

Check for 24VAC across MV-MV/PV terminals. If no voltage, replace module.

Check electrical connections between module and gas control. If okay, replace gas

control or gas control operator.

Check for continuity of igniton cable and ground wire. NOTE: If ground is poor or

erratic, shutdowns may occur occasionally even though operation is normal

at time of checkout.

Check that the pilot flame covers flame rod and is steady and blue.

If checks are okay, replace module.

Troubleshooting

Ends

Check that all manual gas valves are open, supply tubing and pressures are good,

and pilot burner orifice is not blocked.

Check electrical connections between module and pilot operator on gas control.

Check for 24VAC across PV-MV/PV terminals on module. If voltage is okay, replace

gas control. If not, replace module.

NOTE: If S8600B goes into lockout, reset system.
