a voltmeter set at 0-10VDC. (0-10VDC = 0-10 micro
amps ionisation current).
3. With the boiler running, connect a meter between
the terminal marked and earth.
4. Normal reading should be between 4-8V (4-8µA).
5. Replace the electrode if the reading is 3V or below.
6. To replace the ignition/detection electrode, first
remove the jacket front panel. Refer to Frame 57.
