Upon completion of the purge cycle, the Control Box initiates an ignition cycle and the
following events occur:
(a)
The Air/Fuel Valve rotates to the low-fire ignition position and closes the ignition
switch. The dial on the Air/Fuel Valve (Figure 3-6) will read between 25 and 35 to
indicate that the valve is in the low-fire position.
(b)
The igniter relay is activated and provides ignition spark. Current to the spark igniter
is monitored for proper level. If no spark is present, the Controller will stop the ignition
process at 3 seconds and shut down the boiler. Refer to Chapter 8 – Troubleshooting
for guidance if this occurs.
(c)
The gas Safety Shut-Off Valve (SSOV) is energized (opened) allowing gas to flow
into the Air/Fuel Valve.
