Measuring the ionisation current

The burner is fitted with an ionisation system to check that a
flame is present. The minimum current for control box opera-
tion is 6 µA.
The burner provides a much higher current, so controls are
not normally required.
However, if it is necessary to measure the ionisation current, dis-
connect the plug-socket (2)(Fig. 35) on the ionisation probe
cable and insert a direct current microammeter (1)(Fig. 35) with
a base scale of 100 µA.
Carefully check the polarities!
