Operation

Ignition Control OperationPower Up

After 24 VAC is applied to the ignition control pins 24V and GND, the Diagnostic LED on the ignition control will turn orange/yellow. If a fault is detected the ignition control will enter Lockout Mode. If no faults are detected, the Diagnostic LED will turn Green and the ignition control will enter Standby Mode.

Standby Mode

While in Standby Mode, the ignition control will continually monitor the system for faults. Once 24VAC is applied to terminals TH and GND on the control, the ignition control will enter Start Up Mode.

Start Up Mode

During Start Up Mode, the ignition control will monitor the system for faults and begin the ignition sequence. If no faults are present, the ignition control will begin the ignition sequence by entering an 18 second waiting period. During this time the Green LED on the ignition control will switch between Red and Green, before maintaining a Green color.

After the waiting period, the ignition control will turn on the igniter and gas valve. The igniter will remain on until a flame is sensed, or up to 10 seconds.

Once a flame has been sensed the ignition control will stop sparking, the gas valve will remain on and ignition control will enter Run Mode.

If a flame is not sensed, the ignition control will then begin two additional retrials for ignition. The ignition control will re-enter the 18 seconds waiting period before the ignition control makes another attempt at ignition. If the three attempts at ignition fail, the ignition control will enter Lockout Mode.

Run Mode

While in Run Mode the ignition control leaves the gas valve on, monitors the flame signal, and leaves the igniter off.

If a flame signal is lost during Run Mode, one additional retrial for ignition will take place within one second. The ignition control will restore the spark for approximately 10 seconds. If the ignition re-attempt fails, the ignition control will enter Lockout Mode.

The ignition control will remain in Run Mode until 24VAC is removed from terminals TH and GND on the control.

Termination of Flame

The flame will go out when power is removed from ignition control. The ignition control will turn off the gas valve and enter Standby Mode.

Lockout Mode

When Lockout Mode is entered, the ignition control will remove power to the gas valve, the igniter will turn off, the Lockout/Reset Light will turn on, and the Diagnostic LED will display the appropriate Error Code.

Lockout Manual Reset

Lockout Mode is cleared by pressing an external reset switch for three seconds. The ignition control will clear all error codes and enter Standby Mode. During Lockout Manual Reset, the Diagnostic LED on the ignition control flashes red and orange, and the Reset Light remains on until the ignition control is reset. After the Reset Light turns off, stop pressing the switch. Holding the reset for three seconds after lockout has been cleared will cause a fault and result in entering Lockout Mode again.

System Tests

The following system tests are performed during normal operation. System tests are performed at a minimum of every 24 hours.

Low Voltage Detection

If the voltage between terminals TH and GND on the control is below 18.75VAC +/- 0.75VAC for more than 3 seconds the ignition control will turn off the gas valve and will not attempt to spark. The Diagnostic LED will display Error Code 5. The ignition control will not enter Lockout Mode if a low voltage condition is detected, but will enter Standby Mode and wait for the low voltage condition to be cleared.

If the voltage between terminals TH and GND on the control rises above 19.75VAC +/- 0.1VAC for at least 3 seconds, the ignition control will then enter Start Up Mode.

Low Voltage Detection test is disabled during Run Mode.
