MREGENCY Circuit Millivolt Check Symptom Intermittent shutdown or main burner will not light with on off switch The Thermopile energized by the pilot flame generates sufficient power to operate the gas valve and on off switch Voltage drop across the switch terminals Burner on 35 mv or less Set meter to MV or Volts DC Place one lead to TP TH and place one lead to TH If higher than 35mv check connections and switch REGENCY rer Circuit Millivolt Check Symptom Intermittent shutdown or main burner will not light with on off switch The Thermopile energized by the pilot flame generates sufficient power to operate the gas valve and on off switch Set meter to Ohms Place one lead to each spade switch in on position If higher than 0 3 ohms replace switch WREGENCY Valve Operating Head Test Symptom Intermittent shutdown or main burner fails when burner switch or thermostat is turned on Before conducting this test disconnect all leads from valve Set meter to Ohms for this test One lead goes to TP One lead goes to TH REGENCY Carbon Build up Symptom carbon build up on glass and or logs This is the result of incomplete combustion Insufficient primary air Check primary air shutter is set to manufactures setting Incorrectly set logs Check that log positioning is as installation manual specifies Oversized orifice burner 8 pilot Check orifice size to rating plat
