In order to trouble shoot any product it is important to understand the basic operation 

and functions of that product. The following information will assist you through this 

process

 

 

General Lighting Information 

 

 

Lighting Procedure: 

Pushing the ON button sends a radio frequency signal to the module.  This sends power to the pilot assembly and the 
sparking begins. The gas valve will open, sending gas to the pilot. Sparking stops after the sensor recognizes the 
flame and burner ignition is complete. ON/OFF/Continuous Pilot allows you to activate the continuous pilot feature 
and allows the use of a standing pilot. 

 

Control Module (AF-4000MOD-1) “Brain” of the system; has built in fault codes:   

The module, inside the valve box, controls the operation of the valve kit.  If module detects a problem, it will begin 
emitting a series of audible beeps (fault codes).  The audible beeps indicate a fault and will assist in locating the 
problem. 

 
 
 

Fault Codes 

 

Ignition Safety – 1 beep every 1 second 

Ignitor will not spark / Burner has not ignited within 60 seconds. 

 

 

 

Check 

 

Gas is ON; line is purged of air and no blockage in the  

 

pilot and main lines.  

 

Pilot assembly electrodes are clean, no soot build-up (clean 
with steel wool if needed). 

 

Check Wire Connections 

 

Pilot wires –“I” (Ignitor) and “S” (Sensor) wires connected  

 

Igniter

Sensor
