The Millivolt (thermopile) is a self powered combination gas control that does
not require 110VAC to operate. See Figure 15 and installation instructions
provided with optional wall switch or remote control for wiring instructions. A
maximum length of 15 feet of 18 awg two conductor wire is to be used for wall
switch. Note switches must be suitable for Millivolt operation. The optional
wallswitchandremotereceivermustbemountedoutsidetherebox.
CHECKING SYSTEM OPERATION
The Millivolt system and individual components may be
checked with a Millivolt meter having a 0-1000MV range.
Conduct each check shown in chart below by connection
meter test leads to terminals as indicated.
A. COMPLETE MILLIVOLT SYSTEM CHECK
("A" READING - CONTACTS CLOSED - CONTROL KNOB "ON" - MAIN BURNER SHOULD BE COME
ON)
a. If the reading is more than 100 Millivolts and the automatic valve still does not come on — replace the control.
b. If the closed circuit reading (“A” reading) is less than 100 Millivolts, determine cause for low reading — proceed as
follows:
B. THERMOPILE OUTPUT READING CHECK
(“B” READING - CONTACTS OPEN - MAIN BURNER OFF)
a. 325 Millivolts minimum. If the minimum Millivolt reading is not obtainable, readjust pilot for maximum Millivolt
output.IfMillivoltreadingisstillbelowminimumspecied,replacethermopile.
