Component tests 1 – 4

TEST 1 TEST 2

Using a multimeter set on the x1

resistance scale measure across the

terminals of the interrupter block on the

gas control. The reading should be less

than 1 ohm.

Disconnect the thermocouple from the gas

control and using a multimeter on the DC

millivolt scale measure the voltage being

generated by the thermocouple. Normal

voltage should be approximately 20mV.

Note: It will be necessary to hold the gas

control knob down to maintain pilot flame

during this test.

TEST 3 TEST 4

With the thermocouple connected to the

gas control and using a multimeter set on

the DC millivolt scale, measure the

voltage between the lower terminal of the

interrupter block and the thermocouple

sheath. The reading should be

approximately 14mV.

Using a multimeter set on the x1 resistance

scale, measure the resistance between the

wiring terminal and the electrode tip (ensure

tip is clean). Resistance should be less than

1 ohm.
