THERMOCOUPLE CONNECTION

The thermocouple connection should be clean to ensure good 
electrical contact.
Run the thermocouple nut into the power unit tapping as far as pos-
sible by hand. Then use a small wrench to set the nut with a

additional turn. 

Do not overtighten

.

Connect leads from E.C.O. terminals to E.C.O. device on furnace. 
Test E.C.O. device for continuity. If there is no continuity, power unit 
will not hold in.
If the furnace does not have an E.C.O. device, use the jumper pro-
vided in the pack.

SYSTEM WIRING

CAUTION

!

To prevent electrical shock and/or equipment damage, 

disconnect electrical power to system at main fuse or circuit 

breaker box until installation is complete.

ENERGY CUT OFF (E.C.O.) CONNECTION

A five-function valve uses the 2 E.C.O. terminals that are connected 
to the magnetic assembly where the thermocouple connects to the 
36C valve line interrupter. An E.C.O. device is mounted in the furnace 
near the limit control and a lead assembly is connected to the E.C.O. 
terminals on the 36C valve.

NOTE

All wiring should be installed in accordance with local and 
national electrical codes and ordinances.

Always check that the electrical power supply used agrees with the 
voltage and frequency shown on the gas control.
The typical wiring diagram shows only the terminal identification 
and wiring hook up. Always refer to wiring instructions provided 

by 

Equipment Manufacturer for system hookup operation.

PRESSURE REGULATOR ADJUSTMENT

The pressure regulator has been factory adjusted (see control 
for specific setting). Although additional adjustments will not 
normally be necessary, you may adjust the regulator. 

Do not 

force the adjusting screw beyond the limits that it can 
easily be adjusted.

1.  Energize valve to ignite main burner.
2.  Remove "Reg. Adj." cover screw (see fig. 7).
3. 

To DECREASE outlet pressure

, turn the adjusting 

screw (beneath the 
cover screw) counter-
clockwise. 

To IN-

CREASE outlet pres-
sure

, turn the adjust-

ing screw clockwise.

4.  Replace the cover 

screw. Cycle the valve 
two or three times to 
verify regulator setting.

PILOT FLAME ADJUSTMENT

If the pilot flame is low and does not engulf the bulb of the 
mercury flame sensor, the system will not energize the main 
valve. If pilot gas pressure is too high, gas will sputter past the 
ignition electrode, and may not ignite. High pilot gas pressure 
may also cause the flame to lift off the burner, causing the 
flame sensor bulb to sense "low" heat.
To adjust the pilot gas pres-
sure, remove the cover screw 
(see fig. 6). 

To REDUCE 

pilot pressure

, turn the pilot 

adjust screw (beneath the 
cover screw) clockwise. 

To 

INCREASE pilot pressure

turn the pilot adjust screw 
counterclockwise. Replace 
and tighten cover screw.
