Thermocouple-tap connection
The thermocouple sends an electrical signal to
the tap, detecting the presence or absence of
a flame at the burn e r. During ignition the tap
must be kept pressed in for 5 to 10 seconds
until the thermocouple heats up and sends
the flame confirmation signal to the tap. If the
flame goes out, its absence is detected by the
t h e rmocouple and the safety tap cuts off the
supply of gas.
