Best Answer

Pilot wire is mentioned in many places related to electrical installations.

In wiring between emergency lighting fixtures there is an extra wire called the pilot wire which is used simply as a detector that detects the cutout of electricity and prompts the lighting fixtures to operate depending on their self contained battery packs.

How do you short the control circuit manually on a teledyne-laars pool heater?

First of all, I'm assuming that your heater has a pilot and not self ignition. You will need a jumper wire ( 16" of wire with an alligator clip on each end) attach one end to the terminal on the gas valve that the red wire from the pilot generator is connected to ( pilot gen. is the thing the pilot flame touches). Now attach the other end of the jumper to the terminal where the wire from the connects to the knob where you set the water temp). NOTE: JUMPING BYPASSES ALL BUILT IN SAFETY DEVICES AND IS FOR TEST LEAVE THE JUMPER CONNECTED TO RUN THE HEATER FOR HEATING PURPOSES!!!!
