to module securely. (See Fig. 1) 

 

8-Pin Connector – orange/white wires to Pilot on valve  
and green/white wires to Main on valve. Black wire (ground) to valve; Grounding is critical for 
proper operation. (See Fig. 2) 

 

Sensor Safety – 4 beeps every second / constant beeping 

Sensor detects a flame, but flame is not present.  Will also occur if flame (S) sensor wire is shorted to ground. 
 

Check 

 

Pilot flame is actually present when valve is turned OFF 
(valve replacement necessary if yes). 

 

Flame sensor electrode is not touching burner pan, log 
grate or pilot hood assembly.  

 

Flame sensor wiring is not worn, frayed, pinched or 
damaged. 

 

Disconnect “S” wire from module and press “ON” on 
transmitter. 

 

Is there a ticking sound at module? If 

Yes

, module is 

working as designed, check pilot assembly. 

 

Check Pilot Assembly 

 

Pilot wires – “I“ (Ignitor) and “S” (Sensor) wires connected to module securely. (See Fig. 1) 

 

 

 

8-Pin – black (ground lead) to valve. (See Fig. 2) 

 

No splices to wires, cuts, crimps; these can cause shorts. 

 

Check spark gap at pilot assembly.  Gap should be 3mm (1/8”) from hood to 1

st

 spark electrode. Too close 

will not spark, too far it will spark to the burner pan or log grate. 

 

Check the (white) ceramic insulators to make sure that there are no cracks at each spark electrode, if cracked, 
replace pilot assembly. 

 

If 

No

 ticking sound, check battery voltage. Battery voltage should be a minimum of 5.3 volts DC in the 

battery pack or if using a AF-4000ADP24 DC Adapter, a minimum 6.75 to maximum 8.25 volts DC.  If 
proper voltage is obtained, module needs to be replaced.  
 

 
Thermal Safety – 4 beeps every 2 seconds 

Overheating – Internal module temperature exceeds 170 degrees F. 
 

Check 

 

Control module must stay inside the valve box.  Never move outside or other locations. 

 

If valve box is too close to burner, move to cooler location. 

 

If glass doors are installed they need to be fully opened during operation. 

 

 

Other Symptoms 

 
Burner Flame Will Not Modulate Or Works Backwards 

 

 

Check 

 

Battery voltage should be a minimum of 5.3 volts DC in the battery pack and a minimum of 9.0 volts DC in 
the transmitter. 

 

Red indicator light on transmitter illuminates when buttons are pressed. 

 

4-pin connector from module to battery pack is secure.
