BURNER STARTING DIFFICULTIES AND THEIR CAUSES
Signal Problem Possible cause Recommended remedy
2 blinks Once the pre-purg-
ingphaseandsafety
time have passed,
the burner goes into
lockout without the
appearance of the
flame
1 - The operation solenoid lets little gas.

2 - One of the two solenoid valves does
not open. Replace
3 - Gas pressure too low . . . . . . . . . . . . Increase pressure at governor
4 - Ignition electrode incorrectly adjusted Adjust
5 - Electrode grounded due to broken . .
insulation Replace
6 - High voltage cable defective . . . . . . . Replace
7 - High voltage cable deformed by high
temperature Replace and protect
8 - Ignition transformer defective . . . . . . Replace
9 - Incorrect valve or transformer . . . . .

10 - Defective control box. . . . . . . . . . . . . Replace
11 - A closed valve upline the gas train . . Open
12 - Air in pipework. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Bleed air
13 - Gas valves unconnected or with . . .
interrupted coil Check connections or replace

3 blinks The burner does not
switch on, and the
lockout appears
14 - Air pressure switch in operating posi-
tion Adjust or replace
The burner switches
on, but then stops in
lockout
- Air pressure switch inoperative due to
insufficient air pressure:
15 - Air pressure switch incorrectly
adjusted. Adjust or replace
16 - Pressure switch pressure test point .
pipe blocked Clean
17 - Poorly adjusted head. . . . . . . . . . . . . Adjust
18 - High pressure in the furnace. . . . . . . Connect air pressure switch to
fan suction line
