A

Ready lamp is not on.

Check all interlock or blower switch

 

 

 

 

 

circuits.

 

B

C

 

Failed power supply.

With DC power switch ON (open

 

 

 

 

 

circuit), measure across igniter (+) and

 

 

 

 

 

(-) positions for 85VDC minimum. If

 

 

 

 

 

minimum voltage is not present, check

 

 

 

 

 

power supply output.

 

D

 

Failed igniter

Listen for igniter buzz when manual

 

 

 

 

 

start button is pushed. If buzz is heard,

 

 

 

 

 

replace spark gap or AC transformer in

 

 

 

 

 

igniter.

 

E

Igniter relay has failed.

Listen for relay to pull in as start button

F

 

Lamp failed.

Inspect lamp and replace.

POWER SUPPLY OUTPUT IS LOW OR NOT STEADY

 

Power is erratic.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Probable Cause

Corrective Action

Date/Remarks

 

 

 

A

One phase open or low at

Inspect all DC and AC connections.

Measure voltages at TB2–L1, TB2–L2,

 

 

 

 

 

and TB2–L3, then at TB1–HI/LO links.

 

 

 

 

 

Check AC source or repair circuit.

 

B

 

Failed diode

With power supply OFF, check for open

 

 

 

 

 

or short in diodes. Use ohmmeter and

 

 

 

 

 

reverse leads. If both measurements are

 

 

 

 

 

below 1 , diode is shorted. If above

 

 

 

 

 

10 k, diode is open. Replace diode.
