TROUBLESHOOTING
STANDING PILOT - MILLIVOLT
| SYMPTOM |
| POSSIBLE CAUSE | REMEDY |
1. | Spark ignitor will | A. | Wire disconnected. | Open door and check to make sure wire is connected to |
| not light pilot after |
|
| ignitor. |
| repeated triggering |
|
|
|
| of piezo. |
|
|
|
|
| B. | Defective ignitor. | Check for spark at electrode and pilot. If no spark and |
|
|
|
| electrode wire is properly connected, replace pilot assembly. |
|
| C. | No gas or low gas | Check remote/manual shut off valve from fireplace. Low |
|
|
| pressure. | pressure can be caused by bent lines, restricted lines, low |
|
|
|
| pressure line pressure. Consult with plumber or gas |
|
|
|
| supplier. |
|
| D. | No Propane/LPG in | Check Propane/LPG tank. Refill tank |
|
|
| tank |
|
2. Pilot will not stay | A. | Defective Valve | If thermopile is producing more than 325 mV, replace faulty | |
| lit after carefully |
|
| valve. |
| following lighting |
|
|
|
| instructions. |
|
|
|
3. | Pilot burning, valve | A. | Defective switch, | Check switch and wire for proper connection. Place jumper |
| knob turned to |
| wall switch, remote | wires across terminals of switch. If burner comes on, |
| “ON”, switch is |
| control or wire | replace defective switch. If the switch is OK, repeat the |
| turned to “ON” or |
|
| same procedure on remote control. If burner comes on, |
| “RS”, but burner |
|
| replace remote control. |
| will not ignite. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Place jumper wire across wire at gas valves (terminals |
|
|
|
| marked TH and TP/TH). If burner comes on, wires are |
|
|
|
| faulty or connections are bad. Replace wire. |
|
| B. | Pilot flame too small | If pilot flame is not close enough to the thermopile, adjust |
|
|
|
| pilot flame. |
|
| C. | Defective or | Check thermopile wire connections to make sure all are |
|
|
| malfunctioning | tight and that the thermopile is fully inserted into pilot |
|
|
| thermopile | assembly. |
|
|
|
| Check thermopile with a millivolt meter. Connect leads to |
|
|
|
| TP and TP/TH terminals on the control valve. If meter |
|
|
|
| reading is below 325 mV, replace pilot assembly |
|
| D. | Defective valve | Turn valve knob to “On” and switch to “ON”. Take a |
|
|
|
| reading at the thermopile leads (TP & TP/TH) on the valve. |
|
|
|
| If the meter reads greater than 100 mV and the burner does |
|
|
|
| not light, replace defective valve |
4. | Frequent pilot | A. | Pilot flame may be | Clean and adjust the pilot flame for maximum flame |
| outage problem. |
| too high or too low, | impingement on thermopile. |
|
