Watch your wires!
This is what happens when a rookie (or any) tech shoots a screw through the black wire leading to the 80V ignitor on an Intellignition board. An expensive lesson

That's better than an apprentice shooting a 5/16 self tapper into a hot water reheat coil U-bend in a VAV box on the 13th floor of a hospital lab complex, on a Friday, with a plumber that never pressure tested the lines and turned the water on and left....

No, that was me as a second year sheetmetal apprentice in NY. That was my "biggest mistake" ever. It cost an untold amount of insurance money. Originally Posted by DLZ Dan

It was one hell of an eye opening experience.UA LU189
