FAILURE TO READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE INSTALLING OR OPERATING THIS CONTROL COULD CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.
These Mercury Flame Sensors are designed to replace flame sensors used on automatic pilot ignition systems on original equipment and retrofit applications. Type 3049 Flame Sensors are equipped with three quick-connect terminals, while Type 3098 are manufactured with three-prong plugs and designed to plug into the receptacle on the 36C84 series gas valve. Both types have SPDT switch mechanisms which are activated by the heat from the pilot flame.

DESCRIPTION
3098 MERCURY
FLAME SENSOR
If in doubt about whether your wiring is millivolt, line, or low voltage, have it inspected by a qualified heating and air condi­tioning contractor, electrician, or someone familiar with basic electricity and wiring.
Do not exceed the specification ratings. All wiring must conform to local and national electrical codes and
ordinances. This control is a precision instrument, and should be handled
carefully. Rough handling or distorting components could cause the control to malfunction.
WARNING
!
Do not use on circuits exceeding specified voltage. Higher voltage will damage control and could cause shock or fire hazard.
ATTENTION!
This product contains mercury. There will not be any exposure to mercury under normal conditions of use. This product may replace a unit which contains mercury. Do not open mercury cells. If a cell becomes damaged, do not touch any spilled mercury. Wearing non-absorbent gloves, take up the spilled mercury with sand or other absorbent material and place into a container which can be sealed. If a cell becomes damaged, the unit should be discarded. Mercury must not be discarded in household trash. When this unit or the unit it is replacing is to be discarded, place in a suitable container and return to us.
PRECAUTIONS
CAUTION
!
To prevent electrical shock and/or equipment dam­age, disconnect electric power to system at main fuse or circuit breaker box until installation is complete.
Shut off main gas to heating system until installation is complete.
Label all wires prior to disconnection when servicing controls. Wiring errors can cause improper and dan­gerous operation.
Following installation or replacement, follow appli­ance manufacturer's recommended installation and/ or service instructions to insure proper operation.

INSTALLATION
REMOVING THE OLD FLAME SENSOR
The 3049 flame sensors are manufactured with different termi­nal/panel configurations. Some models have three terminals, while others have two 1⁄4” spade terminals and one pin terminal. Figure 5 illustrates the terminal layout and internal switch action for each variation.
The service technician must identify the terminal configuration on the existing sensor, and confirm that it matches the replace­ment. If the sensor terminals do not match, replacement cannot be made.
Before removing old flame sensor, perform the following:
1. On Type 3049 Flame Sensor - record the color code for each wire attached to the three quick-connect terminals and disconnect the wiring. Refer to Fig. 5 for terminal/panel configurations.
2. For both types of mercury flame sensors - inspect the pilot burner, flame sensor bulb, and the adaptors and clips used to hold the bulb within the pilot burner bracket. Note the exact arrangement of clips and adapters so that the same arrangement is used for the replacement flame sensor.
3. For both types of mercury flame sensors - note the exact location and mounting method for the ignition electrode attached to the pilot burner bracket or flame sensor bulb. This location must be used when the replacement flame sensor is installed. Failure to exactly locate the electrode will cause pilot ignition problems.
There are generally three styles of electrode mountings: A. Electrode and pilot burner manufactured as a one-
piece unit. In this case, electrode position should not be disturbed. The flame sensor bulb can be removed without disassembling the electrode.
B. Electrode mounted to the pilot burner via a perforated
mounting strap. In most cases using the perforated mounting strap, the electrode will NOT be disturbed when the flame sensor is removed.

C. Electrode mounted using the bracket that attaches to
the flame sensor bulb. In this case, the electrode must be removed before the bulb can be pulled from the pilot burner bracket.
4. Carefully remove the flame sensor bulb from the pilot burner bracket noting the positions of the adaptors and the ignition electrode.
5. For flame sensors with stud-mount sensing bulbs, remove the nut from the bulb stud and pull the sensing bulb down through the pilot burner.
INSTALLING THE REPLACEMENT FLAME SENSOR
1. Check the sensing bulb of the defective flame sensor and note the positions of any C-ring(s) installed on the bulb. If the replacement flame sensor does not have C-rings, remove the C-ring(s) from the old flame sensor and install in the same position on the new flame sensor bulb. Do not uncoil the new flame sensor capillary until it is ready to be installed.
2. Carefully uncoil enough capillary to allow installation of the new flame sensor. Do not kink or sharply bend the capillary to prevent damage.
3. Slip the bulb of the replacement flame sensor into the pilot burner bracket and secure it with the same method used for the defective flame sensor. The bulb should be held by the pilot burner so that movement from side to side is mini­mized.
4. If the ignition electrode was removed or changed position, reinstall it so that it is in its original position. The spark gap should be electrode to the sensing bulb or pilot hood, depending on the original configuration.
5. Carefully uncoil enough capillary to install the switch mecha­nism on the same position as the original unit. Be sure to prevent excessive strain where the capillary enters the bulb.
6. Mount the switch mechanism (for plug-in types) plug flame sensor into gas valve socket.
7. For type 3049 flame sensors, attach the wires to their respective terminals.
8. Energize the system and observe the pilot burner and ignition electrode. Sparking should occur in the middle of the pilot gas stream.
