defective or too long
1. Pilot flame may be too low,
causing safety pilot to "drop

REMEDY
1. Confirm the "S" wire and
the "I" wire are properly
connected to the module
in the proper "S" and "I"
terminals. Confirm that the
spark to the pilot burner is
properly grounded to the
gas control valve and to the
module. Check the 110 volt
power source or the 6 volt
battery back-up connec-
tions and condition of bat-
teries. Check the position of
the CONTINUOUS PILOT
switch on the module.
2. Confirm the pilot is spark-
ing and lights. Check the
two plastic connectors that
plug in the face of the gas
control valve. Confirm the
gas control valve is properly
grounded to the module.
1. Check electrical connec-
tions
1. Clean and adjust pilot flame
for maximum flame im-
pingement on ignitor/sen-
sor
2. Have vent system inspect-
ed, including termination
cap. Remove any restriction
or obstruction
1. This is normal with most
fireplaces. If noise is ex-
cessive, contact qualified
service person
1. Problem will stop after a few
hours of operation
