TROUBLESHOOTING
IMPORTANT:
An experienced qualified service technician should only perform troubleshooting procedures.
PILOT WILL NOT STAY LIT:
1. Confirm that the “S” sensor wire and the “I” igniter wires are properly connected to the module “S” and “I” terminals on
the module.
Note
: Figs. 11 & 13 on page 6 for terminal locations.
2. Confirm that the Spark to Pilot burner is properly grounded to the gas control valve (Ground is provided through the
pilot tubing).
3. Check the ground wire from the module to the gas control valve (Black ground wire on the 8 pin connector)
4. Check the power source battery pack connections and voltage of batteries.
5. Optional check the position of the CONTINUOUS PILOT switch on the valve kit module. See: Fig. 20
CONTINUOUS PILOT SHUTS OFF AFTER A PERIOD OF TIME
1. If the control module is set in the Continuous Pilot mode (either manually or by remote control), a 7-day countdown
timer will be started. After 7-days if the main flame has not been turned ON, the control module will turn the pilot OFF.
If the main flame is turned ON during the 7-day countdown, the timer is reset and the cycle restarted again.
2. When continuous pilot is turned OFF, simply press the ON button on the remote control or press the rocker switch to
ON to light the system in a normal fashion. The 7-day timer will reset unless you turn the continuous pilot switch to
the OFF position.
MAIN BURNER DOES NOT COME ON WHEN THE MANUAL ROCKER SWITCH OR REMOTE CONTROL IS TURNED
ON:
1. Confirm that the pilot sparks and lights.
2. Check the (2) pin plastic connectors that plug in the face of the gas control valve. See Fig. 13.
3. Confirm that the gas control valve is properly grounded to the valve kit module.
REMOTE WON’T OPERATE VALVE KIT
1. Ensure the module switch is in Remote position and check batteries in the remote and the battery pack.
2. Clear Codes
: Memory in the module might be full if the learn button is pressed too many times. If this happens no
audible beep will be heard. To clear memory, place the module slide switch into the REMOTE position. Press the
learn button and release after 10 seconds. You should hear three (3) long audible beeps indicating all codes have
cleared. You can now “relearn” the transmitter to the module as described below.
3. Press the LEARN button on the module to accept the transmitter security code. Ensure the slide button on the
module in the REMOTE position; the module will not LEARN if the slide switch is in the OFF position. The LEARN
button is located on the side of the module (See figure 10). Using the end of a paperclip or toothpick gently press
and release the black LEARN button inside the hole. When you release the LEARN button the module will emit an
audible “beep”. After the module emits a beep press the transmitter ON button and release. The module will emit
several beeps indicating that the transmitter’s code has been accepted into the module then you can presume normal
operation.
