Low or Unsteady Flame Current
If the current to the S8701/S8702 is less than 1.0 µA or is
unsteady, check the burner flame, flame sensor location
and electrical connections as follows:
Burner Flame
The flame sensor must be constantly immersed in flame.
Check burner flame conditions as shown in Fig. 8.
Flame Sensor
The flame signal is best when about 1 inch. (25 mm) of
flame rod is immersed in the burner flame. A bent flame
rod, bent mounting bracket or cracked ceramic insulator
can affect flame signal. Replace flame sensor if necessary.
Electrical Connections and Shorts
Connections at the flame sensor must be clean and tight. If
wiring needs replacement, use moisture resistant no. 18
AWG wire rated for continuous duty up to 105°C (221°F).
Fig. 8. Check Burner Flame Conditions.
