Robertshaw 1950-560 Thermopile

The Robertshaw 1950-560 Thermopile is a high-output 750 millivolt generator designed for heavy-duty performance in self-powered gas control systems. As a 2-lead thermopile featuring a 60-inch lead length, this component provides ample reach for large-scale commercial or residential burners, ensuring a reliable pilot flame safety signal. This high-performance powerpile is engineered for millivolt heating systems that do not require external power, common in fireplaces, wall heaters, and commercial boilers. The Robertshaw 1950 series utilizes a robust thermoelement design to withstand high combustion temperatures while maintaining consistent 750mv output. For technicians troubleshooting pilot outage issues or inconsistent valve operation, this replacement thermopile ensures optimal millivoltage for gas valve actuation. Ensure the burner orifice and pilot assembly are clear of debris to maintain the integrity of the heat transfer to the element for peak system efficiency.

• Extended 60-inch lead length for versatile installation in large furnace cavities and commercial equipment.
• Standard 750mv output compatible with most major brand millivolt gas valves and thermostatic controls.
• Two-lead spade terminal connection for quick integration into existing wiring harnesses.
• High-nickel alloy outer sheath provides enhanced resistance to thermal stress and carbon buildup.
• Self-powered operation allows for continuous heating system functionality during power outages.

What causes a 750mv thermopile to fail prematurely?
Failure is typically caused by excessive flame impingement, carbon soot buildup on the sensor element, or high resistance due to corroded wire connections at the gas valve.

Can the 1950-560 replace a shorter 2-lead thermopile?
Yes, the 60-inch lead provides extra length that can be coiled or managed, making it a universal replacement for shorter 18, 24, or 36-inch leads as long as the voltage rating matches.

How do I test the millivolt output of this unit?
Set your multimeter to the DC millivolt scale and measure across the two spade terminals while the pilot is active; an unloaded reading should stay consistently above 650mv for reliable operation.
