PROBABLE CAUSES
CORRECTIVE ACTION
Hard Light-Off
1.
Staged Ignition Ball Valve closed.
2.
Clogged/damaged Gas Injector
on Igniter-Injector (Figure 8-2).
3.
Defective Staged Ignition
Solenoid (Figure 8-1).
1.
Open the Staged Ignition Ball Valve on the upstream side
of the SSOV (Figure 8-1).
2.
Disconnect the Staged Ignition Assembly solenoid from
the Gas injector Tube of the Igniter-Injector (Figure 8-2)
and inspect Gas Injector to ensure it is not clogged or
damaged.
3.
Close the Manual Shutoff Valve (Figure 8-1, below ).
Attempt to start the unit and listen for a “clicking” sound
that the Staged Ignition Solenoid makes during Ignition
Trial. If “clicking” sound is not heard after 2 or 3 attempts,
replace the Staged Ignition Solenoid.
Fluctuating Gas Pressure
1.
Gas pressure going into unit is
fluctuating.
2.

1.
Stabilize gas pressure going into unit. If necessary,
troubleshoot Building Supply Regulator.
2.
Check to ensure that the Damping Orifice is installed in the
SSOV Actuator shown in Figure 8-3. (For IRI (DBB) Gas
Trains, the Damping Orifice is installed in the downstream
SSOV Actuator).
Air/Fuel Valve “hunting” at
the 80% Valve Position
1.
IGST and Power Supply Boards
