SERVICE CHECKS
Flame current passes through the flame from the
sensor to ground. The minimum flame current
necessary to keep the system from lockout is 0.7
microamps. To measure flame current, connect
an analog DC microammeter to the FC- FC+ ter-
minals per figure at right.
Meter should read 0.7 µA or higher. If the meter
reads below "0" on analog scale, meter leads are
reversed. Disconnect power and reconnect meter
leads for proper polarity.
