INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
WHITE-RODGERS
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.

PRECAUTIONS
If in doubt about whether your wiring is millivolt, line, or low
voltage, have it inspected by a qualified heating and air condi-
tioning 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.
Do not use on circuits exceeding specified voltage.
Higher voltage will damage control and could cause
shock or fire hazard.
To prevent electrical shock and/or equipment dam-
age, 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 dan-
gerous operation.
Following installation or replacement, follow appli-
ance manufacturer's recommended installation and/
or service instructions to insure proper operation.
Timing: Contacts close approximately 60 seconds after the pilot
is ignited. Contacts open approximately 40 seconds after the
flame is extinguished.
The sensing bulb is for direct flame immersion in the pilot flame.
The top
3
⁄4” should be surrounded by flame.
Contact Action: SPDT, snap-action
