Symptoms
Possible Causes Corrective Action
IntelliFire™ Plus System
Main Closes/ Pilot open, 5 seconds later pilot
sparking with Blower ON. If condition persists
for 60 seconds, 8K-1 locks out with 3 LED
alarm.
Pilot Rectifi cation Failure 1. Verify that black wire on IPI wire harness is prop-
erly grounded to the fi replace chassis.
2. Verify that pilot is not being compromised by draft
such that it fails to rectify. With the glass as-
sembly in place, verify that the pilot fl ame is en-
gulfi ng the fl ame sensing rod on the left side of
the pilot hood. With a multi-meter, verify that the
current in series between the module and the
sense lead is at least 0.14 microamps.
3. Verify that line inlet pressure is within range on
rating plate and correct pilot orifi ce is in pilot.
4. If #1-4 are correct, replace IPI module.
Pilot and Main shut down and 8K1-PVI locks
out with 4,5, or 6 LED alarm.
Blocked Flue/Insuffi cient Draft 1. Verify the tefl on pressure tube is connected be-
tween blower impeller housing and vacuum
switch.
2. Verify that wiring within PVI is correct and that the
blower operates during the ignition command.
3. Verify that the venting is connected and sealed
properly.
4. Verify that the vent termination is not blocked.
5. If #1 thru #4 are complete, connect brown and
red wires to bypass vacuum switch. If malfunc-
tion is corrected, lock-out system until the vacu-
um switch can be replaced.
Main Closes, 5 seconds later pilot sparking
with Blower ON. If condition persists for 60
seconds, 8K-1 locks out with 3 LED alarm.
Shorted Pilot Sense 1. Verify that the white sensor lead is properly con-
nected to the S-terminal on the module.
2. Check for soot deposits on the pilot sense rod,
adjacent shielding, or logs. If so, clean affected
parts.
3. Verify that the white sense lead from the pilot is
not damaged or melted within the fi rebox or valve
compartment. Replace pilot if damage exists.
Main Closes, 5 seconds later pilot sparking
with Blower ON. If condition persists for 60
seconds, 8K-1 locks out with 3 LED alarm.
Disconnected Pilot Sense Verify that white sensor lead is properly connected
to the S-terminal and the orange ignitor lead is con-
nected to the I-terminal on the module
If given ignition command in both ON and RE-
MOTE modes, system immediately locks-out
with 3 LED alarm. Does not spark or attempt
to ignite.
Pre-Existing/False Pilot Flame Check for pre-existing pilot fl ame. If so, the valve is
defective and should replaced.
Pilot rectifi es, burner begins to light, but has a
diffi cult time fully lighting.
Draft from back of fi rebox is too strong due to
power vent.
Place ember material along the back side of the
ports that are experiencing the diffi cult lighting. This
will block a portion of the strong draft.
