DIRECT IGNITION PROBLEM SHOULD BE SIMPLE!

Maybe I am. Seems you're the only one that feels that way. Testing flame sensors is hvac101. You should have learned it in school. If not ask for a refund.

[2sac]

You're checking for microamps. If your meter doesn't have a microamp setting you are SOL

[Youngwiseman]

ok thank you now we getting some where micro amps ,i think my meter doesnt check for micro amps but like you hvac101 ,can i wrap the wire around the jaws and divide and get a micro amp reading

[2sac]

No. Microamps are checked in series with the sensor. You need the proper meter.

[Youngwiseman]

oh yes you are right direct current right i would have 2 place the meter in series with the flame censor circuit and get the amp reading this way . so you telling me i need a special meter to do this i paid 200 for my meter it should do this function so what meter i need then.

Makes sense, I've heard the glass story, ever hear that?

No I don't believe so.

[beenthere]

Check uA reading.

Merged threads. Please don't make duplicate threads bout the same problem, thank you.

[tinman]

possible ground issue.

[dgussler]

I maybe wrong , but I do not think there is a industry standard for ratings in microamps a flame rod should be putting out. One unit maybe different from the other. If the manufacturer had some information on the required output from flame sensor then measure it and if out of range replace it.

[pacnw]

some modules have that info imprinted on their sticker.

[Youngwiseman]

should this ground be located on the burners connected all the way back to the groud going to the main power coming in the unit . let me know

why do you keep creating additional threads for the same topic?

keep this in the original thread so it has some continuity in process.
