®

The ignition controller has a diagnostic LED light at
the top right of the controller. The LED light will flash
GREEN for normal operation or RED for an error.

The following are the green LED codes of operation:

The following are the red LED codes of error:

Ignition lockout (1 red flash for start-up, 4
red flashes for during operation)

GREEN LED Indications - NORMAL OPERATION

Flash Code

Flash Code Indication

Steady on

Flame detected, main burner on

0.1 second on/off

Controller is sparking

0.5 second on/off

Purge or inter-purge time

0.5 second on/4.5 second off

Retry or recycle time

Possible Cause

Solution

Manual gas valve
not open

Open manual valve. If combination
valves are used, verify that switch on
top is in “ON” position.

Air in the gas line

Bleed gas line.

Supply gas pressure
too high or too low

Check that supply pressure is
between 6 and 14 in. wg for natural
gas and between 11 and 14 in. wg for
LP gas.

Loose wire
connections

Check for tight wire connections.

No Spark:

a. Spark electrode

Ensure spark gap is 1/8 inch and
ceramic insulator is not cracked.
Replace if necessary.

b. Spark cable

shorted to
ground

Replace spark cable.

c. Ignition

controller not
grounded

Ground ignition controller.

High Limit Control
tripped

Check unit airflow and manifold
pressure.

Faulty combination
valve

Measure voltage between terminals
MV and Common. If 24 volts is
present but valve remains closed,
replace valve.

Faulty ignition
control

Check diagnostic LED on controller
for “steady on”. If LED remains on
constantly and there is NO voltage
between V1 and V2, replace ignition
controller.

RED LED Indications - ERROR OPERATION

Flash Code

Flash Code Indication

Blinks 1 time

No flame in trial time error

Blinks 2 times

Flame sense circuit error

Blinks 3 times

Valve circuit error

Blinks 4 times

Flame loss error

Blinks 6 times

Airflow error

Blinks 7 times

Ground or internal error

Steady on

Line voltage/frequency error

NOTE

The green LED light indicates NORMAL operation
while the red LED light indicates an ERROR operation.

Valve Circuit Error (3 red flashes)

Check that the valve is a 24 volt AC valve. Check that
the valve is wired correctly.

Internal Control Error (7 red flashes)

Check all ground connections including the entire unit.

Line Frequency/Voltage Error (solid red)

Check that the controller power is 24 volt AC
(+10%/-15%). Check for 60 Hz or 50 Hz.

If all checks have been made using the troubleshooting
guide and you have confirmed there are no other
defective components, and the red LED error light is
flashing or on, then the ignition controller may need to
be replaced.

Troubleshooting - Ignition Controller

Airflow Fault (6 red flashes)

An airflow fault may occur for the following reasons:

• During the start-up sequence, the controller relay

turned the combustion blower on but the blower did
not prove airflow in 30 seconds.

• During the start-up sequence, the airflow was proven

before the controller turned the combustion blower
on. If this condition lasts for 30 seconds, the control
will error out.

To fix fault, determine which error above is occurring,
remove power from controller, fix problem and re-power
controller.

Flame Fault (2 red flashes)

If the main gas valve fails to close completely and
maintains a flame, the full-time flame sensor circuit will
detect it and energize the combustion blower. Should
the main valve later close completely and remove the
flame signal, the combustion will be de-energized.
