Figure 6
Flame Current Measurement
Flame current is the current that passes through the flame fromsensor to ground. To measure flame current, connect a True RMSor analog DC micro-amp meter to the FC+ and the FC- terminals.The reading should be 1.0 micro-amps DC or higher. If the meterreads negative or below “0” on the scale, the meter leads are re-versed. Re-connect leads with proper polarity.
Alternately, a Digital Voltmeter may be used to measure the DCvoltage between the FC+ and FC- terminals. Each micro-amp offlame current produces 1.0 VDC, so a reading of 2.6 VDC wouldequate to 2.6 micro-amps.
A good burner ground that matches the control ground is criticalfor reliable flame sensing.
1. Beginning of day:a. Inspect gas supply line for gas leaks.b. Keep machine area clear and free from combustible mate-
