FLAME SENSOR FOR HOT SURFACE IGNITI
The Flame Sensor for Hot Surface Ignition uses flame to ignite the gas burner. It senses flame from within the heating chamber and generates an output to the gas valve when flame is detected. Important: Do NOT install a Flame Sensor on natural-gas models with pilot lights or DIRECT-VENT models.
The Flame Sensor for Hot Surface Ignition is a non-programmable sensing device. It is designed to prevent gas appliances, hot surface ignition devices (such as electric ranges, space heaters, or any device with a hot surface ignition) from malfunctioning due to flame being lost. The Flame Sensor requires a 30 inch lead length and does need to be used with temperature indicating control valves.
