Frost Fighter IDH350QR LP/NG Installation - Operation/Maintenance Instructions And Parts List Download Page 10

SEQUENCE OF OPERATION

1-Flip toggle switch to either manual or thermostat position.
2-Red LED light on ignition controller will come on for 1 second
3-Burner fan motor will start, unit will pre-purge for 45 seconds
4-Spark  ignitor  energized  for  4  seconds,  gas  solenoid  valves  will  open  during  4  second TFI  (  trial  for 
ignition)The unit has three trials for ignition before lockout. 
5-Burner lights, ignitor stops and flame current is sensed by ignition controller.
6-When heat exchanger reaches certain temperature ( temperature setting on fan switch) the fan switch will 
make and start supply fan.
7-When unit is shut off, burner will shut down and supply fan will run until heat exchanger temperature is 
below fan switch set point.

LP/NG TROUBLE SHOOTING GUIDE

*ALWAYS  CHECK  FOR  SUFFICIENT  POWER,  GAUGE  CORD,  POLARITY  AND  GAS
PRESSURE .POWER AND GAS SUPPLY MUST ALWAYS BE SHUT OFF/DISCONNECTED
BEFORE REMOVING OR REPLACING ANY COMPONENTS ON THE HEATER*

1-UNIT WILL NOT START

A- Check for 115 volts AC across terminals 1 and 2. I f no voltage check power source.
B- Check for power across terminals 2 and 3. If no power, inspect toggle switch or thermostat, 

replace if faulty

C- Check the thermal overloads on burner supply fan motor. Reset by pushing the red button on 

motor housing.

D- Ensure proper connection to burner fan. If power is at connection, and neutral wire secure, 

replace burner motor.

2-RED LED LIGHT DOES NOT FLASH ON START UP

A- Check for power across terminals 2 and 4. If no power remove high limit cover and check for 

power on high limit. If no power there inspect air switch and tubing. Adjust and/or replace as necessary. I f 
high limit powered on one side only, replace high limit.

B- Check power at 2 amp fuse. Replace if faulty.
C- Check across 120v side of transformer for power. On 24v side, should be 24v. I f not replace 

transformer.

D- Check across 5 amp fuse for power. Replace if faulty.
E- Check L1 connection to terminal 4, ensure good connection.
F- Ensure proper ground at gas primary.
G- Bad controller, check LED for steady on or flashing codes.
H-If LED light stays on during pre-purge cycle, replace ignition controller.

3-BURNER WILL NOT IGNITE.

A- Always make sure gas supply pressure is 14” (½ lb) or less as over that amount could cause 

damage to manifold regulator.

B Check gas pressure at 1/8” tap on elbow of manifold. Ensure pressure is correct 

(1.8” for IDH350 and 3.0” for IDH500). If no pressure there, remove cover and check f or 24v across solenoid 
valve wires. If voltage present, replace solenoid valve.

C-  If  no  voltage,  at  solenoid  valve,  check  gas  primary  control  to  ensure  wired  and  grounded 

properly. If wired properly, and still no voltage to solenoid   replace gas primary.

D- Remove the electrode assembly form burner housing. Shut off all manual gas valves then reset 

the  unit.  Install  jumper  wire  between  terminals  3  and  4.  Lay  electrode  assembly  across  top  of  burner 
housing. Carefully check for spark across the ignition gap after 34 second pre-purge. If no spark, check for 
120VAC at ignition transformer. If power there, replace transformer, no power, replace gas primary. I f spark 
is arcing at another point other tan tip of spark rod, ensure spark rod is in correct position. If it is then replace 
spark rod. After test remove jumper from terminals 3 and 4.
