Possible Cause
Solution
Spark will not light
the pilot after
repeatedly pressing
the spark ignitor.
Air in the pilot supply line.
• Purge the line or start ignition several times.
No spark at pilot burner
• Check spark gap.
• Check wiring connections to ignitor.
• Check for spark in location along cable.
Valve.
• Replace the valve.
Over tightened
thermocouple interrupter.
• Replace the valve and thermocouple interrupter.
Receiver
• Replace the receiver and reset the receiver’s
code, refer to M

to spark. Valve
shuts off after 10 to
30 seconds. Valve

Pilot is lit and
sparking stops. Valve
shuts off after 10 to
60 seconds. Valve
does not operate
manually.
Note: For manual
operation turn the
valve knob to the
manual
position
and hold the safety
magnet
open
with a pen for
approximately
60
seconds (see Figure
79).
Not
enough
voltage
generated
from
the
thermocouple or too much
resistance in the circuit.
Note: To find which part of
the circuit is causing the
problem, a checklist for
each application can be
prepared using an Excel
calculation available from
Mertik Maxitrol.
Possible parts are: ON-
OFF switch, Temperature
switches, Thermo current
connections, Receiver.
• Use a digital multimeter set in the mV range
and measure the voltage by connecting the test
leads to the spade connector. Spade connector
is located on the outer surface, directly beside
the magnet nut (see Figure 80). The available
voltage must be at least 5mV. The manufacturer
must specify the drop time for the application.
The drop time can be measured after the
thermocouple is heated.
Thermocouple.
• Replace the thermocouple.
Low inlet pressure.
• Confirm the regulator’s pressure and sizing.
Replace if necessary.
Valve.
• Replace the valve. Do not over tighten the
thermocouple interrupter.
BV Only: Spill switch at
the draft hood may have
tripped.
• Correct cause of trip and reset switch.
