What power supply is required for IDL and IDL2?

• The IDL model heater operates on 240VAC, ONLY.
• The IDL2 is dual voltage and can operate on either 120VAC or 240VAC. When connecting the IDL2 to 120V, the voltage selector plug must be changed. A licensed electrician should perform any electrical connections.
  

What power supply do I need for my H100/ABG?

• The H100/ABG heater comes supplied with a 120 VAC cord. The unit must be plugged into
  a 120 VAC, receptacle. Local codes will dictate the specifics. An extension cord must never be used, as voltage fluctuations may cause improper heater operation.
  

What is the “clicking” or “sparking” sound I hear, but the heater does not ignite?

• The “clicking,” indicates that the ignitor is sparking and the heater is trying to fire, but the gas and the “spark" are not reaching each other. If the heater has recently been installed, the first thing that must be checked is the gas pressure. Low gas pressure may create a lean gas to air mixture, which may not ignite. If the heater has not been fired in over a week, chances are there is a blockage in the burners or orifices that is preventing the gas from escaping the burner and reaching the spark.
• Other causes of this problem are: (1) Bad ignitor. (2) Bad gas valve.
   

Why is the heater still “clicking” while the heater is running?

• After the heater ignites, the ignitor acts as a flame sensor. When it senses flame, it signals the control module to stop sparking the ignitor and keeps the gas valve open. Most of the time the continued clicking is a sign of a bad ignitor/flame sensor.
• Less common, but still a possibility is a malfunctioning control module.
  

What power supply do I need?

• The ED1 and ED2 model heaters are dual voltage and can operate with either 120VAC or 240VAC. The electrical connection will have three wires: common, 120V & 240V. Attach the incoming power supply wire(s) to the corresponding labeled wires. A licensed electrician should perform all electrical connections.
