THERMOELECTRIC BURNER CONTROL MODELS
12.1 Ignition burner will not light
:
-
Read lighting instructions;
-
Check gas supply is turned on;
-
Air in gas supply : check purging;
-
Excessive high/low gas pressure : adjust
throttle screw figs. 8 & 9;
-
Blocked ignition burner injector orifice
-
Faulty gas valve : renew;
12.2
Ignition burner lights but will not establish
-
Loose connection on thermocouple or
reroute leads : check security;
-
Ignition burner flame too small : adjust;
-
Ignition burner jet dirty : clean;
-
Thermal overheat (limit) control LC3
loose connection on control terminals:
check renew connection as necessary,
loose connection on gas valve;
-
Faulty thermocouple : renew;
-
Faulty gas valve : renew;
-
Faulty overheat (limit) control LC1/LC2
or LC3: renew;
12.3
Ignition burner lights and established but
main burner will not light
:
- Check
electricity
supply switched ON;
- Check
room
thermostat is calling for
heat : adjust;
-
Check time switch if fitted is in ON
mode;
-
Open circuit to gas valve : check wiring;
-
Faulty gas valve : renew;
-
If appliance is fitted with a Euroventer :
check it is operating.
12.4
Main burner lights and goes out after short
period
:
-
Insufficient combustion air : open door
or window to check air supply;
-
Euroventer air flow proving operating
when flue gas is hot : check flue and
Euroventer air proving system;
-
Room thermostat in warm air flow :
check temperature around thermostat;
-
Room thermostat on vibrating surface :
check contacts chattering near set
points;
-
Fan rotating slowly, heater operating on
thermal limit control LC1/LC2 : check fan
motor, suspect capacitor fault;
-
Fan guard blocked with dust to reduce
air flow : clean;
-
Discharge louvres closed : open;
-
Ambient air temperature too high, set
point reached.
