should be 4.0" w.c. for natural

gas and 10.0" w.c. for propane

with all equipment on line in

full operation. If this cannot be

maintained, consult gas

company.

7Eliminate the draft.

Check millivoltage as above;

increase size of flame with

Unitrol pilot adjusting screw.

Remove and clean pilot and

thermopile or thermocouple;

decrease size of flame with

Unitrol pilot adjusting screw if

over 450 mv. Reading should

be 500 +/-50 mv. for

thermopile. Reading should be

between 25 and 35 mv. for

thermocouple.

SECTION 2S TROUBLESHOOTING CHART
