Maxitrol Series 14 Troubleshooting

Symptom

Possible Cause

Field Test

Remedy

No Gas Flow

Modulating valve improperly
installed

Arrow on side of valve should
point in direction of gas flow

Install properly

Continuous low fire
(electronics problem)

Short circuit or no voltage to
the amplifier

Open circuit in TD114 remote
temperature selector or wiring




Short circuit in TS114 remote
temperature circuit or wiring

Check for 24-V at amplifier
terminals 7 & 8

Check wire connections
between amplifier terminals 1
and 2 and remote
temperature selector terminals
1 and 3

Follow test procedures as
outlined in the preliminary
testing section of this manual

Prove power source


Tighten connections or
replace wiring




If modulating voltages
are obtained, check
TS114 if necessary. If
these items check out
and modulating voltages
are still not obtained,
amplifier may be
assumed defective.
Install replacement.

Continuous low fire
(electronics OK)

Faulty amplifier
Open circuit in modulator coil







Plunger missing, jammed, or
improperly installed

Check Td114 for internal open
circuits. Maximum 11,500
ohms across terminals 1 and 3
with external wiring
disconnected. Measure
resistance across modulator
terminals with interconnecting
wires disconnected.

Inspect: Plunger should
operate freely in solenoid
sleeve.

Replace modulator head
if not approximately 45
to 55 ohms for the M611
and M511 and 60 to 80
ohms for the MR212.




Clean or replace plunger
if necessary.

Incorrect minimum fire

Incorrect by-pass metering
valve adjustment

Excessive negative burner
pressure

Re-set low fire (see start-up
instructions)

Close main-gas supply and
measure manifold pressure
with blower opening. Reading
should be less than 1.5-in wc
negative pressure.

Adjust to proper low fire


If reading is greater than
1.5-in wc negative
pressure, check for
clogged filters or other
inlet air restrictions.

Continuous high fire
(electronics problem)

Short circuit in remote
temperature selector circuit



Open Circuit in the TS114
discharge air sensor circuit




Jumper not connected across
amplifier terminals 2 and 3

Inspect for shorts at or
between amplifier terminals 1
and 2 and at TD114 terminals
1 and 3.

Check TS114 for terminal
shorts, minimum 8,000 ohms
across terminals 1 and 3 with
external wiring disconnected.


Connect test resistor as
described in the preliminary
circuit test.

Correct wiring if a short
is present. Replace
TD114 if defective.


If modulating voltages
are obtained, check
TS114 circuit for shorts.
Replace TS114 if
necessary.

Correct if necessary.
