Flame Rod:
Place one lead of your meter to the flame rod and the other to ground. With the unit running, you should
read between 5-150 VAC. Set your meter to µ amp scale and series your meter in line with the flame rod.
You should read 1 µ amp or greater for proper flame circuit. In the event of low flame circuit, remove the
flame rod and check for carbon or damage.
Heat Exchanger and Outgoing Water Temperature Thermistors:
Check all Thermistors by inserting meter leads into each end of the thermistor plug. Set your meter to the
20k scale and read resistance. Applying heat to the thermistor bulb should decrease the resistance.
Applying ice to the thermistor bulb should increase the resistance. See below for examples of typical
temperatures and resistance readings.
Example: 59ºF = 11.4-14k 140ºF = 2.2-2.7k
86ºF = 6.4-7.8k 221ºF = 0.6-0.8k
113º = 3.6-4.5k

With the power off, you can check the continuity through the surge protector. Place a meter lead on the
top pin #1 of the surge protector and pin #3 on the bottom of the surge protector. Check across the top
pin #3 and the bottom pin #1. If you read continuity across these two points, the surge protector is good.
If you do not get continuity, replace the surge protector.
