 Operation

Sequence of Operation

Starting Circuit:

  Upon a call for heat, the fan is energized. Once operational static pressure is achieved, 

the differential switch will close initiating the ignition sequence. After a 7-second pre-purge, the spark 
electrode is energized and the gas valve opens. The trial for ignition is 15 seconds. If flame is not 
sensed, the heater will attempt two (2) additional ignition sequences before proceeding into hard 
lockout. 

Running Circuit: 

After ignition, the control senses and monitors burner flame through the electrode. If 

sense of flame is lost, the control immediately disrupts power to the gas valve and then re-cycles the 
unit (identical to the starting sequence). If flame sense is not established within 15 seconds, the 
heater will attempt two (2) additional ignition sequences before proceeding to hard lockout. The 
control can be reset by briefly interrupting the power source.

Thermostat

NOTE:

 Different thermostats operate according to their particular features.  Refer to thermostat 

specifications for details.

This heater must be installed and serviced by trained gas installation and service 
personnel only.

Do not bypass any safety features or the heater’s built in safety mechanisms will be 
compromised.
