Question 3 |
A packaged electric-electric unit _____.
A | has two cooling systems |
B | can cool or heat two buildings |
C | is a cooling unit with electric resistance heaters |
D | uses twice as much electricity as a standard cooling unit |
Question 4 |
One of the purposes of using a two-speed blower is to provide _____.
A | increased air flow on very cold days |
B | a little more power to circulate air when the filter is dirty |
C | the different speeds needed to optimize operation of the cooling and heating functions in a
dual-purpose system |
D | one speed for inducer operation and one speed for circulating conditioned air |
Question 5 |
Which of the following is not part of the operating sequence of a natural-draft furnace?
A | The blower comes on. |
B | The pressure switch proves that the induced-draft fan is on. |
C | The gas valve comes on. |
D | The system proves that the pilot is on. |
Question 6 |
If you can hear a spark from a spark ignitor, but the gas does not ignite, a likely cause is _____.
A | a short in the 24V circuit |
B | the spark ignitor has a cracked ceramic insulator |
C | the spark gap is too wide |
D | a defective ignition transformer |
Question 7 |
Each of these is a device for igniting the gas at the gas burners, except the _____.
A | safety pilot |
B | thermopile |
C | hot surface ignitor |
D | glow coil |
Question 8 |
A pilotless system is one in which _____.
A | there is no remote thermostat |
B | the gas must be ignited with a match at the burners |
C | a direct spark ignitor or hot surface ignitor is used |
D | there is no safety feature to shut off the gas if ignition does not occur |
Question 9 |
The minimum reading you should expect when testing a loaded thermocouple is ___________.
A | 18mV |
B | 30mV |
C | 10mV |
D | 24V |
Question 10 |
What method is used to prove the burner flame in a furnace with a hot surface ignitor?
A | A thermocouple is built into the hot surface ignitor. |
B | A bimetal element senses the heat of the flame |
C | A flame-sensing rod is located near the burner. |
D | No device is necessary because the hot surface ignitor never fails. |
Question 11 |
A service call is made to a customer who complains that when his furnace ignites, the flame rolls out in front of the heat exchanger. Tech A says that it’s due to a poor draft, possibly a blocked flue or heat exchanger. Tech B says that it has to do with the limit control or the fan switch control circuit. Which tech is correct?
A | Tech A |
B | Tech B |
C | Both techs are correct |
D | Both techs are incorrect |
Question 12 |
A customer complains of headaches, sleepiness, and nausea. Tech A finds a crack in the heat exchanger and says that the furnace should be shut down. Tech B says the crack isn’t too serious, and that the furnace can operate temporarily but it must be cleaned. Which tech is correct?
A | Tech A |
B | Tech B |
C | Both techs are correct |
D | Both techs are incorrect |
Question 13 |
A tech is servicing a standing pilot gas fired furnace. The complaint is that the burners are not lighting. Where should the tech start troubleshooting the system?
A | At the transformer secondary and at the combination gas valve |
B | At the transformer primary only |
C | At the primary limit control |
D | At the fan/limit control |
Question 14 |
On a spark ignition system, the spark for ignition continues with no ignition of gas at the burners. Tech A concludes that the thermostat is defective. Tech B concludes that it is possibly the control module. Which tech is correct?
A | Tech A |
B | Tech B |
C | Both techs are correct |
D | Both techs are incorrect |
Question 15 |
Which of the following is the correct test for a faulty cable on a direct spark ignition system?
A | A voltage check |
B | A continuity check |
C | An amperage check |
D | None of the above |
Question 16 |
A customer complains that the burners light on her system, but then immediately shut down. The problem is most likely to be
A | In the control module |
B | In the control transformer |
C | In the limit control |
D | In the gas valve |
Question 17 |
Which of the following would not be a proper procedure to perform on a direct spark ignition system where the spark continues, the burners light and the flames are immediately extinguished?
A | Check that the sensor is positioned in the flame correctly |
B | Check for proper flame rectification current |
C | Check for proper grounding terminal |
D | Check that there is proper gas flow to the pilot |
Question 18 |
A hot surface ignition system does not ignite the main burner. After measuring voltage to the igniter, the tech should
A | Perform a resistance test on the igniter |
B | Replace the flame sensor |
C | Replace the main gas valve |
D | Replace the control module |
Question 19 |
The burners of a gas furnace that is equipped with an 115v hot surface igniter light for approximately 7seconds and then go out. What is problem that could cause this symptom?
A | A faulty igniter |
B | A faulty transformer secondary winding |
C | Burners shutting off on high limit control |
D | A faulty sensor |
Question 20 |
The burners on a furnace having a hot surface ignition system light up, but quickly shut off. Tech A says that after testing the gas valve, he has determined that it is shorted.
