in THE MAIN WALL

Carlin 601 Gas, intermittent flame failure initially replaced igniter due to primary control noting current was low. I couldn’t get any current readings when I did the Carlin testing for ignitor, it passed the resistance test Igniter(41000). Unit has since gone down again, so I took apart gas gun adjusted my electrodes/ cleaned off flame rod. Cleaned entire assembly and checked electrical connections. The fault I have seen though is lockout, “igniter powered” and I look in the manual it says this: “relay miswired or welded” at that point I’m assuming you have to replace the control. Please advise any suggestions of more to check. When you reset the burner it never faults again while you’re there but once you’re gone it faults right out and there you go. I’ve shut it off and fired it like 6-8 times and it takes off.

    I believe that is the AI technology that looks to see if there is anybody in the room before locking out for no reason.

    After you make that expensive repair and you still have the same problem, What will you check next?

    Seriously,  there should be a way to look at the last 50 faults.  Since you have had this lockout more than once, can you scroll thru the previous faults?   Are they all the same (Ignition)?  Are there any other messages in the list?

    they’re all ignition faults, it all says the same thing.

    those are painful times

    Are you able to check your draft?

    I can say it has nothing to do with AI. I started in 73 and all burners run fine when your there and lockout before you get out of the parking lot. It happened back then and AI wasn't invented yet.

    @Jalen_Jalen2006

    Make sure you voltage is up to snuff.

    Ignition transformers and flame signal all relate to voltage which everything is rated for 120 volts now. If you get below 108ish you sure to have issues. Just something to check

    @EBEBRATT-Ed That was the beginning of AI in 1973. Didn't you read George Orwell's 1984 back then? Those gremlins were turning off the burners at the behest of Big Brother! as the date was getting closer and closer.

    Back to the “IGNITOR POWERED” fault code on the Carlin 602000FR.

    This fault indicates that the ignitor is receiving power at a time when it should not be energized. It does not mean that the ignitor itself is defective.

    Carefully inspect all wiring connections to the control and to the associated components. Look closely for stray strands of stranded wire that may be touching or very close to other terminals or conductors, such as the motor lead.

    The motor circuit is powered during pre-purge and post-purge, while other components—such as the ignitor, stage 1 valve, and stage 2 valve—should remain de-energized. A single stray wire strand or unintended contact can backfeed voltage to the ignitor circuit, causing the control to detect power when it should not be present and generate this fault.
