The reason is because within each range the Power
Supply will automatically select a high or low tap
on the transformer secondary. This is based on
the input AC line voltage at the time the Power
Supply is turned ON. If the line voltage is near
one of these points the voltage might measure, for
example, 410 VAC and the pilot resistor setting
should be 9 ohms to have a good pilot. The next
time the system is turned ON, the input AC line
voltage may have gone up to 420VAC causing the
pilot to sputter because 420VAC requires setting
of 4.5 ohms.

6. Wires are attached to the pilot resistors with metal
clamps or taps. Locate and loosen the screw that
secures the wire #99 tap on resistor R16. Deter-
mine, from the Figure below, the correct position
for the tap on R16 and tighten the screw.
Example:
To set for 6 ohms measure 5” from the right side
of R16, where wire # 96 attaches, and secure the
#99 tap at that position.

7. The pilot pulse value is set by positioning the wire
#150 tap on resistor R22. Locate and loosen the
wire #150 tap. From the above Figure find the
ohms value that corresponds to the value that the
wire #99 tap was set to. Measure distance indi-
cated from the right side of R22, where wire #96
attaches and secure the wire #150 tap there.
NOTE
The ohm value shown for the wire #150 tap does
not represent the value of the R22 resistor but in-
stead corresponds to the total resistance of R16,
R22 and R22 set by the wire #99 tap.
8. Test the pilot, if it still sputters move the wire #99
tap to the right, toward wire #96, 1 inch (25.4 mm)
at a time until the pilot no longer sputters.
9. Once there is a good steady pilot, test for the de-
sired transfer height. If the transfer height is not
high enough, between 3/8 inch (9.5 mm) to 1/2
inch (12.7 mm), move the wire #150 tap to the left
on R22, 1 inch (25.4 mm) at a time, until the de-
sired height is obtained.
