SEQUENCE OF OPERATION
GAS MODELS
This sequence of operation is written for steamers with electronic ignition, solid state water level controls,
Initial Fill and Preheat
1.Conditions.
A.Power switch OFF.
B.Ignition module reset switch ON
C.Cooking timers off.
D.Compartment power switches OFF.
E.Unit connected to correct voltage .
1)L1 (HOT) to one side of the cooking compartment controls; to one side of the cold water condenser thermostat; to one side of the power ON/OFF switch.
2)L2 (NEUTRAL) to one side of the cooking compartment controls; to one side of the cold water condenser (CWC) solenoid valve; to one side of the power ON/OFF switch.
F.Unit properly grounded. (Boiler and water level control share a common ground)
G.Water supply valve on.
H.Gas supply valve on.
I.Gas combination control valve ON.
J.Control (cycling) pressure switch closed.
K.High limit pressure switch closed.
L.Cold water condenser (CWC) thermostat open.
M.Blowdown solenoid valve (drain) open and boiler empty.
N.Compartment doors open.
2.Power switch turned ON. (located on boiler control box)
A.Power switch indicator light (red) comes on.
B.Hi pressure indicator light (amber) comes on.
C.Low water level indicator light (amber) comes on.
NOTE: The high pressure indicator light will remain on and the safety circuit
D.Water level control (WLC) is powered.
1)High level (HL) relay is energized,
2)The inverse latching relay of the board remains
E.Auxiliary low water level
F.With the
G.Blowdown solenoid valve is energized and closes.
H.Ignition module begins sparking to light pilot after a 3 second delay.
1)If pilot ignition is established (pilot lit) then a micro amp flame sense current is sent back to the ignition control module through the ignition cable. Sparking stops, pilot remains lit and is ready to ignite burners.
2)If pilot ignition is not established after 90 seconds, sparking stops and the ignition control module locks out power to the combination gas valve (pilot valve and main valve remain closed). The module remains locked out until the reset switch on the ignition control module box is switched to OFF then ON to
NOTE: If the modules
