How do you read a flame sensor?

You can measure flame signal by putting your meter (capable of measuring micro amps) in line between the flame sensor and the wire that was connected to it (see picture). If you are reading anything under 5 uA (micro amps), it is likely that your flame sensor is dirty.

Where is the filter on a GE refrigerator?

When the flame lights you should read between . 5 and 10 microamps (μA) depending on the furnace. Readings between 2 and 6 are common.

Thereof, How do I know if my flame sensor is bad?

Signs Your Flame Sensor May be Failing Here are three tell-tale signs that your sensor may be going bad: Your gas burners light but go out almost immediately. There is visible soot, dust, or rust that covers the tip of the flame sensor itself. The porcelain area of the sensor unit is cracked, chipped, or broken.

Also to know is, How do you check voltage on a flame sensor?

Subsequently, question is, How much current does a typical flame sensor produce? Remember, your flame-sense current is very small, usually less than 10 microamps dc.

Also, How are flame signals measured?

You can measure flame signal by putting your meter (capable of measuring micro amps) in line between the flame sensor and the wire that was connected to it (see picture). If you are reading anything under 5 uA (micro amps), it is likely that your flame sensor is dirty.

How many volts should a flame sensor read?

When the flame lights you should read between . 5 and 10 microamps (μA) depending on the furnace. Readings between 2 and 6 are common.

How does a flame rod work?

Flame rods work due to the ionization / rectification process to complete a circuit. When the flame rod is energized the current produces a positive charge that attracts the negative ions in the flame. The positive ions normally will be attracted to the grounding area of the pilot tip.

How long do flame sensors last?

two to three years

How does a flame sensing electrode work?

A furnace flame sensor works by detecting the presence of a flame within the furnace. The sensor is a short length of thin metallic rod that creates a small current of electricity in order to confirm there is fire burning within the furnace.
