190 mv DC 

CHECKING THERMOPILE FOR PROPER VOLTAGE 

Place the leads of the multimeter on the TP/TH and TP 

terminals on the valve as shown. 

With the switch in the “ON” position, the readings should 

be approximately 190mV DC (this an average reading) or 

greater for proper Thermopile operation. 

The main burners may not come ON if the readings are 

less than 145mV DC. 

If a thermostat has been installed. Place the 

ON/OFF/THERMO switch in the THERMO position; place 

the leads of the multimeter on the TP/TH and TH terminals 

on the valve or on the connections at the thermostat. 

MV reading should be higher than 190 mV DC for proper 

valve operation.  

THESE READINGS SHOULD BE CONSTANT WITH NO 

FLUCTUATION. 

When using a S.I.T EUROSIT 630 SERIES gas valve, place 

one lead from the multimeter on the thermocouple lead and 

the other lead into the adapter located on the back of the 

valve, there are two blue wire a inserted into this adapter. 

2 to 6mv DC 

THERMOCOUPLE

CHECKING 

THERMOCOUPLE FOR 

PROPER VOLTAGE 

Place one lead from the 

multimeter on the 

thermocouple lead, and the 

other lead from the 

multimeter on the back of 

the valve where the blue 

wire is soldered to the valve.

These readings should be 

between 8 and 16mV DC. 

If these readings are 2 to 6 

mV DC, the Thermocouple 

should be replaced
