Problem Possible Cause Solution
Thermo-generator output After the pilot has been lit for approximately three

TPTH and TP. This open circuit voltage should be
between 500mv and 750mv. Tune the pilot adjustment
screw until the mv reading falls within these parameters.
(Counter-clockwise increases mv reading, clockwise
decreases) If unable to meet minimum requirements,
replace thermo-generator.

TPTH and TH. Take a mv reading across the TPTH
and TP terminals on the valve. This closed circuit
voltage should not fall below 300mv. Record read
ing.
(B) Remove jumper wire from the TPTH and TH con -
nections, and reconnect the thermostat wires to the
same terminals. Take the closed circuit voltage as
described in the previous step. If the mv reading
drops below 150mvm, excessive resistance exists in
the thermostat circuit, and must be isolated and
eliminated.
Thermostat/wall switch Defective wall switch. Repeat the above troubleshooting items covered under
will not cycle main “Defective thermostat or thermostat wiring”, except
burner. substitute the words “wall switch” where the word
“thermostat” appears in the instructions.
Excessive wire resistance. Make certain that all mv connections are made using
wire of the proper size. (Reference Page 26).
Valve wired wrong. Thermo-generator leads must be connected to the
TPTH and TP connections of the main operator. Ther-
mostat wires must be connected to the TPTH , and TH
terminals of the valve.
Main burner lights in Main operator coil defective. Verify electrical resistance of main operator coil in the
the PILOT position. following manner.
(A) Remove all wires from operator head.
With an Ohm meter, measure electrical resistance
between TP and TH terminals. If the resistance does
not fall within specification, replace valve. (See table 1).
