Third Visual Check

(Does Main Burner Ignite?)

De-energize

Does

main burner

remain

lit?

Yes

Does

ignitor spark turn "OFF" with main burner flame still present?

Yes

Control's heat requirements satisfied.

DSI cycle is complete.

No

No

Does

the Flame Probe

have carbon orNo dust build

up?

Yes

Remove Flame Sensor Assembly.

Clean the surface of the Flame Sensor Rod with fine steel wool or emery cloth, then reinstall.

Energize system and check for proper operation.

the system and disconnect

Flame Sensor from the

DSI Module. Connect an ohmmeter

across the Flame Sensor

Sensor and ground. Is resistance less than 50 mega-ohms?

No

Connect

ohmmeter across Flame Sensor lead terminal and Flame Sensor. Does continuity

exist?

No

Yes

Does ignitor spark continue

 

 

 

Yes

 

with burner flame present?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Replace

 

 

 

 

 

Yes

 

DSI Module

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Replace Flame Sensor Assembly.

Energize system and check for proper operation.

Is

DSI Module "GND" terminal properly connected to ground?

No

Correct

ground wiring

Is

Flame Sensor Probe properly located in the flame? Proper flame location would provide adequate flame current yet will not exceed maximum rod temperature. Microammeter reads 2µa or

greater.

Yes

Reposition Flame Sensor Probe to achieve a

 

 

 

2µa or greater sensor current or, if

 

 

 

 

 

No

unattainable, replace the Sensor Probe

 

 

 

 

 

Assembly.
