1-4 DESCRIPTIONThe Monitor heaters are composed of the following:

Page 5: MONITOR HEATING SYSTEMS Service Manual

MONITOR HEATING SYSTEMSSection 1: Description

a SDMI tray, a cabinet, a combustion system, an aircirculation system, a fuel delivery system, electricaland electronics systems and a variety of safetymechanisms.1-5 SPILL TRAYThe Spill Tray:

— Protects the floor from damage resulting fromfuel spillage.

— Provides a secure, tip-resistant heater baseMetal retainers (2) secure the heater to the SpillTray.The legs are positioned with in the circular indenta-tions.

1-6 HEATER CABINETA steel Cabinet holds and protects all internalcomponents.A number of primary parts are assembled to formthis housing.

1-7 COMBUSTION SYSTEMThe Combustion System is responsible for theproduction of heat which is circulated into the room.In the Combustion Systems a mixture of fuel and airis burned to produce heat. Air is drawn from outsidethe dwelling into the Combustion Chamber. At thesame time, fuel is metered from a storage cavity intothis same Combustion Chamber.Within the cham-ber.the air fuel mixture is ignited to produce heat.The Monitor combustion systems are safeguardedby a pair of overheat protector switches; They willshut down the heater (to protect it from damage) inthe event of excessive heat build-up. The overheatprotector switches reset automatically after coolingdown.

1-8 COMBUSTION CHAMBERThis tall cylinder is positioned on the Heater Base.It is secured to the base by phillips head screws.Connected to the Combustion Chamber are theigniter, (located within the chamber) a fuel line, theHeat Exchanger, and a Flame Sensor.Within the Combustion Chamber are the Burner Pot.the Combustion Ring Assembly and the BurnerCap(M-422). Access to those internally-locatedparts is facilitated by a removable Service panel.A Window on the panel lets the technician visuallyexamine the combustion process(i.e. glowing igniteror proper flame color).An airway, in the Cabinet Base, extends from theintake fan of the Combustion Blower to the hollowbase of the Combustion Chamber. This airwaychannels air to the Combustion Chamber.The Flame Sensor is mounted with two (2) phillipshead screws onto the wall of the CombustionChamber.

1-9 BURNER POTDesigned specifically to support combustion, theBurner Pot (refer to Figure 1-2) contains a series ofair holes, an igniter tube (to accommodate theIgniter), and a fuel inlet fitting (interconnects the fuelline). It is secured to a mounting plate near thebottom c" 'he Combustion Chamber.The Combustion Ring Assembly is seated on three(3) screws or pins in the Burner Pot.

1-10 COMBUSTION RING ASSEMBLYThis assembly is a special structure, designed topromote efficient combustion.

1-11 BURNER CAPSecured by tabs and a screw on the Burner Pot, theBurner Cap "shapes" the flame into its configurationand height. (M-422 only)

1-12 FLAME SENSORMounted on the outside wall of Combustion Cham-ber, the Flame Sensor always supervises the flame.

1-13 IGNITERLocated within the igniter tube of the Burner Pot, theIgniter is designed to pre-heat the Burner Pot and tovaporize and ignite the air fuel mixture to start thecombustion process.The Igniter is secured by a bracket and screw to theigniter tube. The cover plate is secured to thecombustion chamber by three (3) phillips headscrews.

1-14 COMBUSTION AIR SYSTEMThe Combustion Air System channels air to andfrom the heater.Outside air is drawn into the heater by the Combus-tion Blower through an airway to the CombustionChamber.A Combustion Blower draws the intake air into thethrough a Flue Pipe. This air enters the CombustionChamber at the Burner Pot and mixes with the fuelto support combustion. Remaining air is heated andis drawn into the Heat Exchanger.As the heated air passes through the Heat Exchan-ger, an Air Circulation Fan blows room air past theHeat Exchanger and out again into the room, heat-ing passing air by convection. Exhaust vapors exit-ing from the Hear Exchanger are vented through theFlue Pipe.A deterioration of air pressure at the Air PressureSwitch is an abnormal condition; the heater is shutdown by the malfunction.

1-15 FLUE PIPEFlue Pipes are available in three (3) sizes. Thisprovides the flexibility to meet the installationrequirements for dwelling of various wall thicknes-ses.One side of the Flue Pipe contains a "T"-shapedfitting consisting of four ports. This side is mountedon the interior wall of the dwelling. The pipe side ofthe Flue Pipe is vented outside the dwelling.The Flue Pipe Assembly consists of two concentrictubes. Outside air is drawn through the cylindricalspace between the tubes.Combustion by-products are vented through theinner tube.As the cool air enters, it is heated by the hot air thatis exiting the system.A large-bore, flexible hose connects the air inlet porton the Flue Pipe with the Combustion Blower; acloth-covered metal pipe connects the CombustionBlower with the exhaust outlet on the Flue Pipe.

1-16 COMBUSTION BLOWERThe combustion blower on the Monitor 422 is a dualfunction fan.The intake fan draws in outside air thru the flue pipefor internal combustion. The cooling fan which runson a common shaft with the intake fan circulates airinside the heater cabinet to keep internal compo-nents cool.

The Monitor 441 combustion blower has a two stageintake fan.Burner modes control fan speeds and the solenoiddamper in the blower casing. Those functions are asfollows:

1-17 HEAT EXCHANGERAn inlet at the too of the Heat Exchanger permits theheated air to travel from the Combustion Chamberinto the exchanger.An outlet, at the bottom of the exchanger, permitscombustion by-products to be vented to the FluePipe.While moving through the Heat Exchanger, the hotair within the exchanger heats the outside metalwalls. The hot metal walls, in turn, heat air that ispushed past the exchanger and is circulated intothe room. An air baffle, directly in front of theexchanger, deflects the heated air upwards, and out,through the louver assembly.A pair of Over-Heat Protector Switches protect theheater from damage due to excessive heat built-up.

1-18 AIR CIRCULATION FANBoth Monitor circulation fans are driven by two-speed motors and are designed to circulate theheated room air.If the heater is running in low and medium-low burnmodes, the fan also runs at low-speed; in medium-high or high burn modes, the fan advances tohigh-speed.Operation of the fan is controlled by the micro-processor and fan thermostat switch.Physically assembled with a protective wire cage forthe Monitor 441 and 422, the entire fan assemblyis secured to a bracket on the rear of the HeaterCabinet.A metal conduit, at the rear of the heater, protectsthe fan wiring from damage.

1-19 AIR PRESSURE SWITCHThis switch consists of a rubber diaphragm whichsenses changes in air pressure(it is connected tothe Combustion Blower) and normally-open, microswitch.Should an abnormal pressure differential exist theswitch opens to disable the circuitry that controlsthe supply of fuel. Since the flow of fuel to the Burner

Page 7: MONITOR HEATING SYSTEMS Service Manual

MONITOR HEATING SYSTEMSSection 1: Description

Pot <s cut off.the flame extinguishes (after all fuelcurrently in the line has been consumed), and theBurner Status Indicators blink.

This safety mechanism can be triggered by severalconditions:

— Leak or loose connection in air line- Leak, loose, or broken tubing which connects

the Air Pressure Switch with the CombustionBlower

- Clogged or blocked Air Line- Blocked or clogged Flue Pipe- Intake port of Combustion Blower is blocked.- Combustion Blower is inoperable

1-20 FUEL DEUVERY SYSTEMFuel Delivery is a very important aspect of theMonitor s operation.The fuel flow must be maintained at a level corre-sponding to the bum mode, so that combustion canbe conducted efficiently.Fuel moves by gravity-flow from the external fuelstorage tank or the capsule fuel tank to the FuelConstant Level Valve.The Solenoid Pump meters the flow of fuel from theFuel Constant Level Valve to the Burner Pot.The metered flow of fuel is carried to the Burner Potby a copper fuel line.

1-21 EXTERNAL FUEL TANKThe Monitor 422 gives the user the option of eitherusing the internal capsule tank or hooking up to anexternal fuel tank.Fuel for the Monitors can be stored in, and fed froman external storage tank. The tank, which generallyis dealer installed, should contain a shutoff valve, afuel filter and a vent. Installation of the tank shouldconform to local regulations and to the specifica-tions and guidelines documented in this ServiceManual.(Capsule tank cannot be used in Connecticut andMassachusetts.)1-22 FUSIBLE UNK VALVEBasically, the Fusible Link Valve is a safety mecha-nism that cuts-off fuel to the heater m the event ofan overheat condition at the valve.The fusible link valve is mounted as a standard itemon the Monitor 422. Located outside the rear of theHeater Cabinet, the Fusible Link Valve is a spring-loaded device that cuts off the supply of fuel to theheater when the temperature level (at the valve)exceeds a predefined maximum limit.An inlet on the bottom of the valve allows fuel to

pass into the heater The hardle-wnich can alsomanually be opened or closed-sits on a spring-loaded stem which contains a low-meiting pointalloy.The fusible link valve can be externally mounted onthe Monitor 441 if required.

1-23 FUEL CONSTANT LEVEL VALVEThis valve has an automatic shutoff safety mecha-nism and a Fuel Set Lever. The safety mechanismprevents fuel from flooding or overflowing from thefuel reservoir. The Fuel Set Lever resets the float sothe Fuel Constant Level Valve can resume opera-tion.The fuel reservoir is a tank which contains a floatassembly, a safety mechanism, and a priming lever.Both the Monitor 441 and 422 fuel control valves arebasically the same, however they are of differentsize and material and can not be interchanged.Fuel enters the Fuel Constant Level Valve throughan inlet at the bottom of the reservoir. As the levelof fuel rises, it passes through a filter (whichremoves most particles and foreign matter from thefuel), flows up through an open inlet valve andenters the tank.

IMPORTANT: The Fuel Constant Level Valve filtershould be cleaned or replaced peri-odically. Time intervals will dependon purity and quality of fuel.

Within the Valve, a float mechanism controls thelevel of fuel that will be permitted to the reservoir. Asthe fuel level drops, the float drops down to increasethe inlet valve opening to admit more fuel into thevalve. When the fuel level reaches its maximumvolume, the float rises to shut the inlet valve.in the event that fuel within the reservoir rises to anabnormally high level, a float within the reservoirrises to trip a safety lever. This safety lever drops toprevent fuel from entering into the reservoir.Should a foreign substance cause the inlet valve tostick (or prevent it from opening), the Fuel Set Leveris utilized to free the valve and to admit fuel to thereservoir.

CAUTION: Care must be taken to preventdust, dirt, or other debris fromclogging or blocking the inletvalve. If debris collects on theseat of the inlet valve it maycause tripping of the safety leverand will require cleaning.

1-24 SOLENOID PUMPThe Solenoid Pump is mounted on the Fuel Con-stant Level Valve, controlled by a microcessor.andfour modes (High. Medium-High, Medium-Low. Low)fuel flow is delivered to the Burner Pot.

1-25 ELECTRICAL SYSTEMElectrical power is supplied to the Monitor to run theMicroprocessor and the other electrically-energizedcomponent.Electrical operation of the Monitor can be thought ofas having the following eight(8) distinct phases:plugm; turn-on; pre-purge pre-heat; ignition; pre-combustion; heating; Shutdown and post-purge.All electronic diagrams. Such as wiring diagram,circuit board layout, and electrical schematic can befound in Section 7 of this Service Manual.

1-26 MICROPROCESSORPrincipally consisting of a 54-pin Integrated Circuit,the Microprocessor provides safety timings, controlsrelays and provides clock and thermostat functionsfor the Monitor heater. A component layout of thePrinted Circuit Board is found in Section 7 of thisService Manual.

1-27 TEMPERATURE SENSORThe sensor which is capable of sensing room tem-perature within a range of 42T to 96'F, can be leftmounted on the back of the heater cabinet or bewall mounted.Approximately 6' .'. (about 200 cm) of No, 20 AWGWire is supplied with the sensor to facilitate wallmounting the sensor in a favorable location.

1-28 SAFETY MECHANISMSSeveral safety mechanisms have been built into theMonitor Heating System. These devices protect theuser against personal injury, protect the heateragainst damage, and shutdown the heater if amalfunction occurs.

1-29 CLOTH COVERED EXHAUST PIPEInsulating cloth covers are to be placed over allmetal surfaces of the Exhaust Line during installa-tion.Since combustion by-products are vented at ele-vated temperatures, the Exhaust Pipe will becomehot during operation. The insulating cloth coversprotect the user from burn hazards associated withaccidental contact with these heated metaf sur-faces.

During installation make sure that all Exhaust L.resare tight. Do not operate the heater without theinsulating covers.

1-30 AIR CIRCULATION FAN GUARDThis guard is an integral part of the fan assemoiyThe guard protects the user against physical miurywhich could occur from accidental contact withrevolving metal fan blade.

1-31 FUSE2-amp. and 10-amp.. 125VAC, fuses protect theheater from damage resulting from power overloads.In the event of a power surge or internal wiringhazards, the fuse opens and power to the heater iscut off.The electrical outlet into which the heater is con-nected should be protected by at least a 15-amp.fuse or circuit breaker.

1-32 OVERHEAT PROTECTOR SWITCHESConnected in series, two (2) normally-closed Over-heat Protector Switches safeguard the heatersagainst damage due to overheating.The Monitor 422 switches are rated 110'C (230'F).The Monitor 441 switches are rated 115'C (239'R.Should a Monitor overheat (internal temperaturesrise beyond 110'C (230'F) on me Monitor 422. 115'C(239'R on the Monitor 441) either or both switcheswill open to shut down the heater. After extinguish-ing the flame, the Burner Status indicators continueto blink. The Overheat Protector Switches will auto-matically reset after cooling down.Once the heater has cooled to 90'C (194'F), thesystem can be restarted. To restart the Monitor,proceed as follows:

A. Press ON OFF Switch to OFF.B. Allow heater to cool.C. Troubleshoot the cause of the overheat.D. Press ON OFF switch to ONE. Proceed with normal operation.

2-13 FUEL TANK INSTALLATIONPictorial views of alternative types of storage facil-ities and delivery systems are illustrated (Figure2-12).Since fuel storage tank installation techniquesvary from place-to-place (often dependent uponapplicable codes), a particular installationprocedure cannot be specified. However, certaincriteria govern the fuel hook-up of the Monitor.Use the following check list as a guide to the fuelstorage facilities:

WARNING:USE ONLY CRYSTAL CLEAR KEROSENE. NEVERUSE GASOLINE, WHITE GAS, CAMP FUEL OROTHER FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS. USE OF SUCHFUELS CAN RESULT IN AN EXPLOSIVE RRE ANDCAUSE SEVERE INJURY.

Fueling Options AvailableFueling of the Monitor Heating Systems can beaccomplished in one of 3 ways:1. Capsule Tank (on the Monitor 422)2. Gravity Fed Large Capacity External Tank:

Practical for large heating needs where bulkdelivery of kerosene is available. This systemshould be installed by a qualified plumber orfuel supply technician.

'3. Large Capacity External Tank with Pump: Forlarge heating needs where a gravity fedsystem is not practical. An electric pump, theMonitor™ Kerosene Lifter, especially designedfor use with Monitor heating systems.

'if a pumping system is used to supply fuel, theinlet pressure to the heater must not exceed 2.5psi.

10

Page 22: MONITOR HEATING SYSTEMS Service Manual

MONITOR HEATING SYSTEMSSection 2: Installation

To install a large capacity, gravity fed external tank,follow the instructions below. Use of a qualifiedinstaller is recommended.

• Installation height of the bottom of the fuel tankshould be 16 mcnes or more above the floorsurface on which the heater stands. Thisinsures that inlet fuel pressure will be sufficient.The top of the fuel tank should be no higherthan 8' : feet above the floor under the heater.This insures that inlet fuel pressure will not beexcessive.

• The horizontal length of piping should notexceed 100 feet and should be free of sharpbends or obstructions.

• Piping should include no inverse U-type bends(to avoid air locks, which could block the fuelsupply).

• Only ! . -inch OO copper tubing should be used.The tubing should be bent carefully to avoidcrimping.

• A fuel filter is recommended for use on the fuelline near tank, and a shut-off valve should beinstalled at the tank.

• Flare connections should be used at the fusiblelink valve connection on the heater and at thefuel filter to be installed at the tank.

• The fuel tank should be located no closer than3 feet to a source of heat.

• The fuel tank should have an opening for fillingon the top and a vent with a weather-proof capon the side. On some tanks the vent and fillspout use the same opening.

55, 100, and 250 gallon tanks must contain:Shut-off valve at tank outletDisposable fuel filter (protects heater againstcondensation and other impurities)Fueling mlet (protected by weather-proof cap)Ventilation outletClearance of at least 3 from any source of heat

Allowable Height Dimensions:• Bottom of tank-at least 16" above floor holding

heater (maintains sufficient pressure)• Top of tank-maximum of 8' .' above floor

holding heater (prevents excessive line pres-sure above 2.5 psi).

• Position of Lifter-more than 8' above fuel inletof heater requires pressure reduction valve.

RECOMMENDATIONPipe fittings in the fuel supply to the Monitor heatingsystems should be sealed with pipe thread tape.The supply line from the tank to the Monitor X1

Kerosene Lifter must be absolutely air tight. 275gallons and bigger tanks should have a 2.5 P.S.I.max pressure reducer to avoid excessive pressureat heater inlet.

2-14 HEATER INSTALLATIONThe Monitor heaters can be physically situated oncarpeting or other combustible flooring with com-plete safety. The selected heater site must beaccessible to an electrical outlet, must support freeair ciculation (both internal and external), and mustnot contain combustible materials in the heater'simmediate vicinity.

MONITOR HEATING SYSTEMSSection 3: Operation

3-1 INTRODUCTIONMonitor is an easy-to-operate vented keroseneheater. Routine operation features high BTU output,automatic adjustment of room temperature, low fueland power consumption, and choice of automatic ormanual heater operation.This section provides all information necessary tooperate the Monitor Heating System. All operationprocedures specified should -be performed in theorder in which they are described.

3-2 OPERATING SPECIFICATIONSThe following specifications apply to the operationof the Monitor 441 and the Monitor 422.

Monitor 441- Rated Efficiency (as applied to kerosene

heaters): 93?^*- Rated Efficiency (as applied to central heating

systems): 87%— Power Consumption : as follows

- Circulation Fan Output : 388 cubic feet mm.- Fuel source : Remote, separate tank- Potential heating area : 900-3200 sq. feet

'The energy from the combustion process isreleased in the form of heat and vaporized water.Normally, heating systems discharge water fromcombustion to the atmosphere without condensingit. This 93% efficiency rating-means that; assumingthe water cannot be condensed, 93% of the heatproduced by the combustion process is recovered.Assuming the water can be condensed, the effi-ciency is 87%.

NOTE: Actual effective heating area depends uponnumerous factors such as type and severityof climate, type of dwelling construction,condition of dwelling, and thickness andeffectiveness of dwelling insulation.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR ECONOMY PLUS MODETo engage the economy plus mode, simply pressdown the button labeled 'Economy Plus', todisengage press again.NOTE: Operation switch must be 'ON" and in

MANUAL mode.This feature minimizes the ON " and "OFF" cyclingof the unit by allowing it to overshoot the settemperature by 12 degrees instead of the normal4 degrees.

The advantages of this feature are to increase theoverall efficiency of the unit by:

1. Decreasing electrical consumption by decreasingthe frequency of ignition cycles.

2. Reducing heat loss during the prepurge andpostpurge cycles.

3. Reducing .nefficient combustion associated withstart up and shut down.

4. Prolonging component life by decreasing expan-sion and contraction of internal parts.

NOTE: This feature could be compared to drivingan automobile in stop and go traffic (regularmode) versus highway driving with cruisecontrol engaged (Economy Plus mode).

Front Cover.B. Remove the fuse from fuseholder on the Printed

Circuit Board.

IMPORTRNT: Whenever the heater is unplugged,the Microprocessor must be repro-grammed when power is restored.

4-9 FUEL CONTAMINATIONFuel contamination is often difficult to diagnose,even though it will adversely affect heater operationand performance. The best course of action to takewhen fuel contamination is suspected is to examineall of the system s fuel filters, beginning with the fuelstorage tank. If a Monitor Kerosene Lifter is part ofthe fueling system, examine and clean that unit'sfilter, as well as the filter located in the Fuel Con-stant Level Valve. When it has been determined thatwater or some other contaminants have infiltratedthe fuel, the following action must be taken:

WARNING

BEFORE PROCEEDING FURTHER, UNPLUG THEHEATER.STEP1: Remove ContaminationA. Shut OFF the fuel supply at the storage tank or

at the Fusible Link Valve.B. Drain off the contaminants from the fuel storage

tank or the fuel sump tank(M-422). Fill withfresh, clean fuel.

MONITOR HEATING SYSTEMSSection 5: Servicing

5-1 INTRODUCTIONServicing is required when the Monitor Heater is notrunning at proper efficiency. This section coverspossible causes and corrective procedures for effi-ciency loses.

Signs of improper heater efficiency and performancewould be:

- Yellowish lazy flame— Smoke from flue pipe exhaust— Heavy soot and carbon build up in combustion

chamber— Lowered heat output.

5-2 MEASUREMENT OF FUEL FLOW RATEFuel flow rates are preset and sealed. These ratesshould not and we recommend they do not bereadjusted.

5-3 REMOVAL OF WATER DEPOSITS ANDCONTAMINANTS FROM FUEL CONSTANTLEVEL VALVE AND FUEL LINES

NOTE: Disconnect the Monitor from power supply(unplug) before proceeding.

1. Use a syphon pump and a syringe to drain offany fuel in the fuel sump (in case of capsuletank use on the Monitor 422).

2. If using separate tank on the Monitor 422 shutoff fusible link valve. On the Monitor 441 shutoff valve of separate tank.

3. Bend a piece of sheet metal or cardboard into aU shape and place it under the fuel constantlevel valve strainer cover to drain bad fuel intoa 1-2 liter pan. (Figure 4-1)A. Remove strainer cover and drain.B. With strainer cover removed, inspect, clean

and, or replace strainer if damaged.C. Remove drain port screw and drain.D. Replace strainer, cover and screw.E. Open fusible link valve or shut-off valve to

refill system with fresh crystal clear ker-osene.

F. Repeat steps 1-3 until all contaminated fuelis drained off.

4. Remove fuel feed pipe from burner pot andsolenoid pump, and drain fuel into pan.

5. Once lines are clear, reconnect fuel feed pipe,turn operation switch ON and start a test run.

NOTE: Removing and retightening burner fuelconnection must be done when a burnercools down completely. If it is done when a

burner is hot. the welding on the fuel jointmay break. Fixing Torque for nut:30-40kg • cm(26-35lb.m).

5-4 CLEANING THE BURN CHAMBER & BURNERPOT

Under normal running conditions, soot will notdeposit in great quantities inside the burner, and alight covering of soot will not affect the performanceof the unit thus it need not be cleaned. However, ifheavy soot built up does occur the unit should beopened and cleaned.The burner is assembled using gaskets to maintainits air tightness. If these gaskets leak, the extra aircan cause a serious soot problem and or exhaustgases to escape into the area being heated.NOTE: If any gaskets are torn when components

are removed, replace. Disconnect powersupply to unit.

If cleaning is necessary, use the following method:1. On the Monitor 422

A. Remove louver assembly.B. Remove front cover.C. Remove top cover and lead wire con-

nectors.D. Remove front and top heat shields that

cover the bum chamber and their leadconnectors.

E. Remove fuel piping from burn chamber.F. Remove igniter.G. Remove flame detective rod lead from PCB

(DO NOT REMOVE FROM BURN CHAMBER).H. Remove screw at top of burner cap which

attached it to cabinet. Remove screw atback of cabinet from exhaust duct andremove the 4 screws holding the burnchamber to base.

I. Rock chamber back and forth lightly, raiseabout 1/2" and remove burn chamber andheat exchanger, as one assembly from unit.

J. Set chamber upside down and remove the4 screws which secure the burner pot tothe burn chamber. Pull the burner pot up andout.

2. On the Monitor 441A. Remove louver assembly.B. Remove front cover and wire connectors.C. Remove top cover.D. Remove heat shield that covers combustion

chamber.E. Remove service panel.F. Remove Flame detector rod.For a more thorough cleaning, use the sameprocedure as for the M422 above.

FLAME ROO BYPASS CIRCUITFor testing purposes - A flame detector rod bypass circuit can be madeup. consisting of 2 insulated alligator clips. 2-6" pieces of insulatedcopper wire, 1-1 4" watt 400 volt diode, and 1-l/4~ watt 100k OHM resistor.These components are to be soldered together in sequence as shown indiagram below (note component sequence and polarity).

Once the bypass circuit is made the unit isturned on. immediately after the prepurge preheat cycle; when mode lightcomes on. the O and N pins are disconnected off the PCS and replacedwith the bypass circuit. The unit should then continue functioning asthough it had a good flame inside the burn chamber and servicetesta such as fuel flow can be checked.

(Note-WARNING, after all tests are completed,replace original flame rod wires as rt is a vital safety feature.)
