INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Operator: Save these instructions for future use!

FAILURE TO READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE INSTALLING OR OPERATING THIS CONTROL COULD CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.

DESCRIPTION

These Mercury Flame Sensors are designed to replace flame sensors used on automatic pilot ignition systems on original equipment and retrofit applications. Type 3049 Flame Sensors are equipped with three quick-connect terminals, while Type 3098 are manufactured with three-prong plugs and designed to plug into the receptacle on the 36C84 series gas valve. Both types have SPDT switch mechanisms which are activated by the heat from the pilot flame.

3098 MERCURY FLAME SENSOR

If in doubt about whether your wiring is millivolt, line, or low voltage, have it inspected by a qualified heating and air condi- tioning contractor, electrician, or someone familiar with basic electricity and wiring.

Do not exceed the specification ratings.

All wiring must conform to local and national electrical codes and ordinances.

This control is a precision instrument, and should be handled carefully. Rough handling or distorting components could cause the control to malfunction.

!WARNING

Do not use on circuits exceeding specified voltage. Higher voltage will damage control and could cause shock or fire hazard.

PRECAUTIONS

!CAUTION

To prevent electrical shock and/or equipment dam- age, disconnect electric power to system at main fuse or circuit breaker box until installation is complete.

Shut off main gas to heating system until installation is complete.

Label all wires prior to disconnection when servicing controls. Wiring errors can cause improper and dan- gerous operation.

Following installation or replacement, follow appli- ance manufacturer's recommended installation and/ or service instructions to insure proper operation.

ATTENTION!

This product contains mercury. There will not be any exposure to mercury under normal conditions of use. This product may replace a unit which contains mercury. Do not open mercury cells. If a cell becomes damaged, do not touch any spilled mercury. Wearing non-absorbent gloves, take up the spilled mercury with sand or other absorbent material and place into a container which can be sealed. If a cell becomes damaged, the unit should be discarded. Mercury must not be discarded in household trash. When this unit or the unit it is replacing is to be discarded, place in a suitable container and return to us.

SPECIFICATIONS

The sensing bulb is for direct flame immersion in the pilot flame. The top 34” should be surrounded by flame.

Contact Action: SPDT, snap-action

Timing: Contacts close approximately 60 seconds after the pilot is ignited. Contacts open approximately 40 seconds after the flame is extinguished.
