Flame Current Measurement
Flame current is the current that passes through the flame from
sensor to ground. To measure flame current, connect a True RMS
or analog DC micro-amp meter to the FC+ and the FC- terminals.
The reading should be 1.0 micro-amps DC or higher. If the meter
reads negative or below “0” on the scale, the meter leads are re-
versed. Re-connect leads with proper polarity.
Alternately, a Digital Voltmeter may be used to measure the DC
voltage between the FC+ and FC- terminals. Each micro-amp of
