to satisfying T-stat demand.
- Diagnostic lights flash the pressure
switch code.

Control does not sense flame.
ACTION 1 - Check the microamp signal from
the burner flame. If the microamp signal is beĆ
low 0.70 microamps, check the sense rod for
proper location or contamination.
ACTION 2 - Replace, clean, or relocate flame
sense rod. If rod is to be cleaned, use steel
wool or replace sensor. DO NOT CLEAN ROD
WITH SAND PAPER. SAND PAPER WILL
