Installed this today. Let it warm up good and threw a voltmeter across it at the terminals, which were connected to the gas control. Moving the thermopile in it's holder in the ventless gas fireplace -for more or less pilot flame exposure, the best milivolt output measurement I got was 525mv with the thermopile at it's max exposure with my current setup and clearances. I could not scoot the pile up any further for more flame exposure as it's base hub stopped the travel. From my experience with several brands of thermopiles over the years including the really expensive ones, this is a decent reading of 525mv.
From here I want to see how long it remains functional compared to those costing almost twice as much. So far so good. Easily operates my gas valve on the fireplace.
Today is 7-14-2012. I used this thermopile through the winter, and have so far found this to be one of the stronger generators I have used over 15 years. I will buy this again when necessary. I see no need to spend more on the other brands, and some of the expensive name brands I have used have failed far too soon.We had to replace a generator that the repairman broke when diagnosing a faulty gas valve. It functions well with the gas logs. No problems and easy to install in place of the old one.
