Operation - Thermopile Powered
A grouping of thermocouples into one housing results in a “Thermopile” or “Generator”
• Heat on the thermopile, generates 750 to 850 milli- volts (.750VDC) – open circuit.
• When heated and connected to the gas valve, ours generates 350 or more mV - closed circuit.

Operation – Lighting the Pilot
The pilot cannot be relit if this steady LED light is still ON. The thermopile must cool to automatically reset the control.

Operation – Lighting the Pilot
• Status Indicator– Blinking once every 3 seconds = pilot knob
may be released and normal operation in HEAT mode.
– Solid On – control has been turned Off – thermopile cooling
– 2 to 8 flashes every 3 seconds – error codes

Review Questions
2. Since these products get combustion air directly from outdoors, indoor air supply does not matter?
They do NOT use air directly from outdoors. They use room air for combustion and therefore room air quality and quantity is very important.

Review Questions
3. Thermopile – This is a misspelling of thermocouple?
No – a thermopile is like a grouping of thermocouples into one housing. This results in a much stronger DC milli-voltage output from the heated end of the thermopile to the gas valve.
![Page 19: Residential Gas – Honeywell Valve - Thermopile Powered Series 300/301](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062618/5513fb12550346dd488b461e/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Review Questions
4.Thermopiles receive electrical power from a transformer?
No – pilot heat on the end of the thermopile generates electricity – millivolts. A maximum of 750 MV Vs a thermocouple which normally has a maximum output of 30MV.

5. Millivolts are AC or DC?

Review Questions
6. When I see the pilot light through the sight glass, I can release the pilot knob?No, you must wait for the LED to flash indicating the milli-voltage from the thermopile circuit has reached an adequate level to power the gas valve/thermostat control functions.

Review Questions
9. I can not relight the pilot! Most likely reasons?
• Thermopile still hot – wait for LED to go out,
• open thermal switch (TCO),
• plugged filter,
• plugged flame-trap.
![Page 37: Residential Gas – Honeywell Valve - Thermopile Powered Series 300/301](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062618/5513fb12550346dd488b461e/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Review Questions
10. My multimeter says that the thermopile is generating nearly 30 milli-volts DC. Why won’t my pilot light.
30mv is a thermocouple reading value.
• Check multimeter setting,
• poor flame impingement on thermopile,
• faulty thermopile.
