Figure 24 Ignition control module sequence of operation — status light indications

Follow all procedures given in this manual and operating

instructions when operating the boiler. Failure to do so

could result in severe personal injury, death or

substantial property damage.

Operation — spark-ignited pilot boilers9a
1. Standby: With no call for heat, the vent damper and
circulator are deenergized. No gas flows to pilot or main
gas valve.
2. Call for heat (thermostat circuit closes):
a. Vent damper and circulator energized if pilot status
acceptable. Vent damper drives open. When vent
damper end switch makes circuit, ignition control
begins pilot ignition attempt.
b. Ignition control checks for false flame signal: If
ignition control senses pilot signal when no pilot
gas should be present, control will lockout,
requiring reset procedure as given inFigure 24.
3. Pilot ignition: Control module sparks the pilot and
opens pilot valve in main gas valve.
a. If pilot does light and control module senses flame
current, spark generator is turned off and main
valve opens.
b. If pilot does not light within 15 seconds, pilot valve
is closed and spark generator is turned off. Control
module waits 5 minutes, then attempts to ignite
pilot again. This cycle will continue indefinitely if
pilot ignition control does not sense pilot flame.
4. Main burner operation:
a. Control module monitors pilot flame current. If
signal is lost, main valve closes, spark generator
activates and sequence returns to step 4.
b. If power is interrupted, control system shuts off
pilot and main gas valves and restarts at step 1 when
power is restored.
c. In the event the limit control shuts down the boiler
— The control module closes the main gas valve,
but keeps the circulator operating and the vent
damper open.
5. Thermostat satisfied (thermostat circuit opens) —
Pilot and main gas valves are closed — Vent damper is
deenergized, and cycles to closed position. Circulator
is shut off.
6. Boiler is now in the standby mode.
7. Thermostat anticipator setting: Set thermostat heat
anticipator as instructed in Figure 25b, page 39.

· Limit controls closed
4. Damper circuit
· Damper proven open
5. Pilot flame proven *
· Gas valve open
· Pilot remains on
· Boiler producing heat
6. Limit cycle
· Limit circuit open
· Gas valve closed
7. Flame outage *
· Flame out
· Boiler recycles
8. Thermostat satisfied
· Circulator off
9. Circulator exercise routine
· Circulator turns on for 30 seconds
ifboiler not operated for 30 days
*Ifpilot flame is not proven in 15 seconds, control module will flash the FLAME light, but will continue indefinitely with attempts to light the pilot burner.
The control module will not lockout on a failure to establish flame.It will lockout if line voltage polarity is reversed,str ay voltage is sensed on thermostat
line,or if flame is sensed when it shouldn’t be there.
The boiler will reset after these lockouts ifany of the following occurs:
• 1 hour waiting period • Opening and closing ofthermostat circuit • Removal of 120 VAC power for at least 45 seconds.
