READING LED FLASH SEQUENCE The LED indicator light is active when the gas valve is in operation. The light will normally show a flash sequence of a short flash once every four seconds or a “Heartbeat” of alternating bright/dim. Multiple flash codes indicate an error and can be read as follows: Example: Corrective Action Number 9, Six-Two Flash, three second pause. - Page 41 CORRECTIVE ACTION CORRECTIVE ACTION NUMBER Gas supply is turned off or gas pressure is too low. Ensure supply pressure and manifold gas pressures are within requirements. Manifold pressure is nonadjustable, if gas supply pressure proves correct and manifold pressure is off by more than 0.3” WC replace the control. Low supply voltage - should be 115 - 125 VAC Ensure flame sensor is making good contact with the burner flame and flame is steady.

Questions and answers
How do I find a replacement boot for the exaust port? Was this boot supposed to be glued in? If so what type of glue?
The exhaust port boot, referred to as the "blower discharge coupling boot," is a rubber coupling that is an integral part of the vent system and must be used in every installation. It is not stated that the boot itself should be glued. However, to start with an elbow on the discharge port, a short section of straight 2” pipe must be cut and glued into the elbow before connecting to the boot.
For gluing, use primer and cement specifically designed for the pipe type, applied with a natural bristle brush or roller. A dauber applicator is only for pipes 2” and below. Ensure the pipe end is chamfered and burr-free before gluing.
To find a replacement boot, refer to the repair parts list or contact a supplier using the part description "blower discharge coupling boot" for the American Standard residential unit.
