Or are we supposed TO USE A MATCH???
If not, the google search address is below.
I searched on baso pilot switch L62gb-3 .
Looking at this pdf file, it has on page 3 Setup Instructions that
pretty much match what was on the boiler itself. I don't understand
Step 4.
"Checkout
Make sure all components are functioning properly by
performing the following test:
1. Test all joints and connections for leaks with a
soap solution.
2. Set the thermostat to the lowest setting.
3. Close the main manual shutoff valve (A valve) and
the pilot valve (B valve [see Figure 1]) and wait at
least 5 minutes for unburned gas to escape from
the appliance.
4. Reopen the B pilot valve, push down the red lever and
light the pilot burner. Continue to hold down the
red lever for approximately 30 seconds.
====> I don't understand step 4. "Push down the red lever and light
the pilot burner" Does that mean with a match???? I thought I read
that it lit electrically, but I don't see how. There is 1) a small
gas pipe coming into the pilot switch and 2) another small pipe going
out, to where the pilot flame will be.
There are 3) two wires which are connected inside to a switch that
IIUC opens when the thermocouple cools off (when the pilot light is
off) so that the Electrical; Valve** in the pretty big gas pipe going
to the burners closes, for safety. (and maybe also a valve in the
switich turns off the gas to the pilot light for savety???)
And there is a thermocouple lead, that goes to where the pilot flame
is, and senses wheher the flame is lit, based on how hot it is.
But where is the "sparker" that is needed to light the pilot flame????
How can the sparker work when the AC electric power has been turned
off?
Or are we supposed to have or make some 12 inch extension to hold a
match in there??
**See Figure 1,, Page 2.
5. Open the A valve. The main burner ignites from
the pilot burner when the thermostat calls for heat.
6. Disconnect the thermocouple from the L62GB.
The main valve should close immediately. If it
does not close, check for wiring errors. Reconnect
the thermocouple to the L62GB when it is
operating correctly.
