operate.

Check for loose/leaky air hoses to the pressure switch; repair/

 

replace/tighten hoses as required. Check for 24V across the secondary

 

terminals 4 and 5 (red and yellow wires) of the transformer.

 

IF NO: Check for 120V across the primary terminals 1 and 3 (black and

 

white wires) of the transformer. If 120V is present, replace

 

transformer. If 120V is not present, check wiring between power

 

cord, blower motor and transformer.

 

IF YES:Connect a jumper wire across pressure switch terminals; if jumper

 

wire allows blower to operate, replace pressure switch

 

(See Page 45, Section 12.1.1 for part number that applies to your

 

unit rating). Do not resume normal heater operation until

 

replacement pressure switch has been installed.

 

 

Igniter spark gap incorrect.

Reset spark gap to 1/8" (3.175 mm).

Possible Cause

Try this....

 

 

 

 

Air in the gas line.

Purge gas lines.

 

 

 

Improper gas inlet pressure.

Check gas inlet pressure at the supply line. Gas inlet pressure should be

 

as follows:

 

 

Natural Gas: 5.0" w.c. (12.4 mbar) minimum;

 

 

14.0" w.c. (34.8 mbar) maximum

 

LP Gas:

11.0" w.c. (27.4 mbar) minimum;

 

 

14.0" w.c. (34.8 mbar) maximum

 

If gas inlet pressure does not meet inlet pressure requirements, contact

 

the gas company.

 

 

 

Gas valve does not open.

Check for 24V across valve terminals.

IF NO: Check wiring between the ignition module and the valve. Repair/ replace wires as required. If wiring is OK, replace ignition module.

IF YES: Replace gas valve.

Low gas outlet pressure.

Check gas manifold pressure. Measure manifold pressure at the pressure

 

tap on the gas valve. See Page 35, Figure 33 and Page 38, Figure 34.

 

Natural Gas:

3.5" w.c. (8.7 mbar)

 

LP Gas:

10.5" w.c. (26.1 mbar)

If manifold pressure does not meet requirements, adjust valve outlet pressure with the adjustment screw on the valve.

NOTE: Proper inlet gas pressure must be verified before performing outlet pressure testing.
