STEP 14B. PILOT VALVE TEST – SBD 500 ONLY. Testing the two coils of the Honeywell VR8404P 5004 gas valve used on the model SBD 500 only. Because of built in diodes, it is difficult to test for ohms resistance through these coils. The following is a DC amperage check of the main and pilot coils.

Condition:

Tank calls for heat

PV terminal of module has 24 Vac

No Pilot flame

Test Procedure:

Turn off power to heater

Meter set to test for DC amperage (on meters, the black wire is in the “com” port, the red wire is in the “10A” port, the dial is set to 20M/10A in the DC AMP test area).

Blue “PV” wire is disconnected from the ignition PV terminal.

Install meter in series between gas valve and ignition module – 10A wire to blue gas valve lead, common wire to PV module terminal.

Turn power on to heater, after module receives 24V

Test DC Amperage through Pilot coil of gas valve

IF

 

THEN

.75 to .85

DCA is not present:

Replace the gas valve

.75 to .85

DCA is present

Pilot should work if gas (not air) is present to pilot

Power off, reattach blue gas valve wire to PV terminal of module.
