The system powers up, but the lamp does not ignite.

Probable

Cause

Corrective

Action

Date/Remarks

A Ready lamp is not on.

Check all interlock or blower switch
circuits.

B DC supply is not set to

proper value.

Increase lamp current by adjusting
power supply tap switch.

C Failed power supply.

With DC power switch ON (open
circuit), measure across igniter (+) and

(-) positions for 85VDC minimum. If
minimum voltage is not present, check

power supply output.

D Failed

igniter

Listen for igniter buzz when manual

start button is pushed. If buzz is heard,
replace spark gap or AC transformer in

igniter.

E Igniter relay has failed.

Listen for relay to pull in as start button

is pushed. If relay does not activate,
measure coil voltage and/or check relay

circuit. If no output voltage, replace
defective relay.

F Lamp failed.

Inspect lamp and replace.

Power is erratic.

Probable

Cause

Corrective

Action

Date/Remarks

A One phase open or low at

TB2 or TB1

Inspect all DC and AC connections.
Measure voltages at TB2–L1, TB2–L2,
and TB2–L3, then at TB1–HI/LO links.

Check AC source or repair circuit.

B Failed

diode

With power supply OFF, check for open

or short in diodes. Use ohmmeter and
reverse leads. If both measurements are
below 1

Ω, diode is shorted. If above

10 k

Ω, diode is open. Replace diode.
