HEAT MODE
In a typical system, a call for heat is initiated by closing the thermostat contacts. This starts the 50A66 control’s heating sequence.The inducer blower and humidifier are energized. After a
This controller has an adaptive algorithm that reduces the ignitor temperature to slightly greater than the minimum temperature required to ignite gas in each particular application. The control measures the line voltage and determines an initial ignitor temperature setting based on the measurement. After each successful ignition, the control lowers the ignitor temperature slightly for the next ignition attempt.The control continues to lower the ignitor temperature until ignition does not occur, and the control goes into retry mode. For the second attempt to ignite gas within the same call for heat, the control increases the ignitor temperature to the value it was on the third previous successful ignition. After ignition is successful, the control sets the ignition temperature at this value for the next 255 calls for heat, after which the control repeats the adaptive algorithm. The control is constantly making adjustments to the ignitor temperature to compensate for changes in the line voltage.

If flame is detected, then lost, the 50A66 control will repeat the initial ignition sequence for a total of three “recycles”. After three unsuccessful “recycle” attempts, the control will go into system lockout.
If flame is established for more than 10 seconds after ignition, the 50A66 controller will clear the ignition attempt (or retry) counter. If flame is lost after 10 seconds, it will restart the ignition sequence. This can occur a maximum of four times before system lockout.
A momentary loss of gas supply, flame blowout, or a shorted or open condition in the flame probe circuit will be sensed within 2 seconds. The gas valve will
If the control has gone into system lockout, it may be possi- ble to reset the control by a momentary power interruption of ten seconds or longer. Refer to PRECAUTIONARY, SYSTEM LOCKOUT, AND DIAGNOSTIC FEATURES.

If the thermostat fan switch is moved to the ON position, the circulator fan (heat speed) and optional electronic air cleaner are energized. When the fan switch is returned to the AUTO position, the circulator fan and electronic air cleaner (optional) are
