TPTH and TH Terminals of the Valve. This Closed Circuit
voltage should not fall below 300mV.

(B) Remove Jumper Wire from the TPTH and TH connections
and connect the Thermostat Wires to the same Terminals.
Closed Circuit voltage as described in the previous Step.
If the mV reading drops below150mV, excessive
resistance exists in the Thermostat Circuit and must be
isolated and eliminated.

TROUBLE SHOOTING (continued)
If the mV reading is above 6mV and the Safety Magnet
does not hold, replace the Valve.
(E) If Closed-Circuit mV reading is the same as the
Open-Circuit reading, the Coil is electrically “Open”.
Replace the Valve.
Verify operation of Safety Magnet in the following manner:
(A) Remove all Wires from the terminals of the Main Operator.
(B) Measure the electrical voltage between the Terminals
TPTH and TP. If the voltage is above 110mV and the
Safety Magnet does not hold, replace the Valve.
