STARTUP AND CHECKOUT
The Millivolt Gas Valve System has two configurations. The
first configuration (VS8510) includes a gas valve, thermopile,
millivolt thermostat, and a pilot burner. The thermopile drives
the operator and the power unit The second configuration
(VS8520) includes a gas valve, quick drop-out thermocouple,
thermopile, millivolt thermostat and a pilot burner. In this
configuration, the thermopile drives the operator and the
quick dropout thermocouple operates the power unit.
Figures 9, 10, and 11 show how the gas flow is controlled for
each position of the control knob.
