Wire Gauges - It is important to use wire of a gauge proper for
the length of the wire:
RECOMMENDED WIRE GAUGES
Maximum Length
1' to 10'
10' to 25'
25' to 35'
Proper operation depends on a good pilot flame. The flame must
cover the top of the thermopile. Cleaning of the pilot orifice and
burner may be required due to spiders.
System Check (Figure 8)
A millivolt meter is required to check the system. Millivolt readings
should be:
• Across the thermopile terminals, 400-450 millivolts with
thermostat OFF.
• Across the thermopile terminals, 150-250 millivolts with
thermostat ON.
• Across the thermostat wires at the valve, less than 30 millivolts
with thermostat ON.
• Across the thermostat wires at the thermostat, less than 5 millivolts
with thermostat ON. (Strong winds, dirty pilot and low pressure
will reduce readings.)
Piezo Pilot Ignitor Instructions
Depressing the red button completely causes a spark to occur at
the pilot. This is a substitute for a match which requires opening
the pilot hole cover.
To light the pilot, it is important that the electrode be 1/8" (3mm)
from the thermopile. The spark must occur at the point the burner
flame hits the thermopile. The end of the electrode will be red hot
with the pilot on.
On a new installation with air in the gas line, it is suggested that a
match be used. The match will light the pilot faster than the piezo
under this condition.
