Check the detector wiring for defects including:
a. Incorrect connections.
b. Wrong type of wire.
c. Deteriorated wire.
d. Open circuits.
e. Short circuits.
f. Leakage paths caused by moisture, soot or accumulated dirt. -
For a flame rod, make sure:
a. There is enough ground area.
b. The flame rod is properly located in the flame.
c. Temperature at the flame rod insulator is no greater than 500°F (260°C). -
For all optical detectors, clean the detector viewing window, lens, and inside of the sight pipe as applicable.
-
With the burner running, check the temperature at the detector. If it exceeds the detector maximum rated temperature:
a. Add a heat block to stop conducted heat traveling up the sight pipe.
b. Add a shield or screen to reflect radiated heat.
c. Add cooling (refer to sight pipe ventilation in the detector Instructions). -
Make sure that the flame adjustment is not too lean.
-
Make sure the optical detector is properly sighting the flame.
-
If necessary, resight or reposition the detector.
