CHECKING FLAME ROLLOUT CONTROL

A temperature activated manual reset control is mounted to
the manifold assembly as shown in the following illustration.
ROLLOUT
SWITCHES
Flame Rollout Switch Location
(90% Upflow Furnace Shown, Counterflow Similar)
The control is designed to open should a flame roll out oc-
cur. An over firing condition or flame impingement on the
heat shield may also cause the control to open. If the rollout
control opens, the air circulation blower will run continuously.
1. Remove the burner compartment door to gain access to
the rollout switch(es) mounted to burner bracket.
2. Reset the manual roll out switch
3. Remove wires from roll out switch
4. Using an ohmmeter, check for continuity across the
switch.
5. If the switch will not close after manually resetting, it
must be replaced.
6. Measure the voltage between each side of the rollout
control and ground during the ignition attempt. If a roll
out switch has tripped, it is important to find out why.
Possible causes could be flame impingement, orifice plate
out of position, burners with excessive cross-over slot
dimension, over-firing, improper orifices, improper gas
pressure, air leaking from around the heat exchanger
into the burner compartment, air leaking through the heat
exchanger itself.

7. After check and/or replacement of rollout switch, rein-
stall burner compartment door and verify proper unit op-
eration.

AILURE TO DO SO MAY CAUSE PROPERTY
DAMAGE, PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.
1. Remove burner compartment door to gain access to
the induced draft blower motor.
2. Disconnect the motor wire leads from its connection
point at the induced draft motor.
3. Using a ohmmeter, test for continuity between each
of the motor leads.
4. Touch one probe of the ohmmeter to the motor frame
(ground) and the other probe in turn to each lead.
If the windings do not test continuous or a reading is
obtained to ground, replace the motor.
5. If the windings have a continuity reading, reconnect
wires. Turn power on to the furnace and turn the ther-
mostat on in the heating mode. Check voltage for
115V at the induced draft motor terminals during the
trial for ignition. If you have 115V and the motor does
not run, replace the induced draft motor.
6. After completing check and/or replacement of in-
duced draft motor, reinstall burner compartment door.
7. Turn on electrical power and verify proper unit opera-
tion.

S-304 CHECKING GAS VALVE (Redundant)

A combination redundant operator type gas valve which pro-
vides all manual and automatic control functions required
for gas fired heating equipment is used.
The valve provides control of main burner gas flow, pressure
regulation, and 100 percent safety shut-off.
