From what I have read, 500mV is not enough to keep the pilot light lit. Here is what I read on a different site:
"You can check if this is the problem by measuring the voltage on the wires coming back from the pilot. When you have the red switch depressed, check the voltage (should be about 200mV). If there's no voltage, then change the thermocouple.
The thermocouple will generate up to 750mV in a pilot flame. If it falls below 550mV it should kill the fuel source."
Hope this helps.
Check that you are getting voltage from the thermocouple. You should see about 600 millivolts.
I was told by Teledyne Laars that your pilot generator needs to produce at least 500mv to open the gas valve. Mine makes 350mv and will not open the valve. Hmm, I think that should be nearer to 600 mv - 700 mv.
Mine is 18 years old, still works
To wire a 750mV power generator on a Teledyne Laars pool heater, you typically connect the two generator leads to the gas valve terminals marked "TH" and "TP" using properly rated wire connectors. Make sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions and adhere to all safety precautions while performing the wiring. If unsure, it's advisable to consult a professional technician for assistance.
Check the wattage used by the block heater which should be listed on the heater. If it is 2000 watts or less then the generator will run it.
You don't. If the heater has an electronic spark, then it doesn't have a standing pilot to light. The spark lights the pilot when there is a call for heat, which in turn lights the burners. If the heater is on and the pump is RUNNING, the heater should light automatically when the water temperature is lower than the heat setting.
Yes you can, but all generators should be used out doors to reduce risk of carbonbinoxzide poisoning
The database did not find the text of a page that it should have found, named "What could be the problem if a Teledyne-Laars pool heater's pilot light was lit with no problem the valve is 'ON' but the burner does not start up". This is usually caused by following an outdated diff or history link to a page that has been deleted. If this is not the case, you may have found a bug in the software. Please report this to an administrator, making note of the URL. On the inside of the heater cover, and within the documentation shipped with the heater, there should be a diagram of the control circuit. These heaters will not operate if the pump is off (pressure switch), if the "fireman" switch is off (a switch generally inside the pump timer that disables the heater about 15 minutes prior to turning off the pump), nor if both of two additional high temperature limit switches are activated (models will vary). The fact that the pilot is lit indicates that the pilot generator is OK. If you can turn the burner on by shorting the control circuit manually (using a jumper wire) the problem is in one of the safety limit switches or in the thermostat itself. Also, when was the last time the filter was cleaned? k
Cashiers should not leave their registers unattended unless they are locked and the employee has logged out.
A diesel heater is a small heat generator used to heat work spaces, living spaces, and even boats. Diesel Heaters may be used in homes, businesses, and yachts or houseboats. They should only be used in a room with adequate ventilation.
Control and status registers are special types of memory locations within a device or system that are used to control its operation (control registers) or report its current state (status registers). These registers allow software to communicate with hardware by reading or writing specific values that determine how the device should behave or indicate its current status.
When turning a generator to a standby operations mode, there is often a switch on the generator. By turning the switch on and off, you should be able to use the generator should the power turn off and resume electricity which may have been interrupted
