APPENDIX A - CONTROL MODULE
STEP 3:
Check spark ignition circuit.
WARNING
Electrical shock hazard. Ignition circuit generates
over 10,000 volts. Turn OFF electrical power
supply at service panel before making electrical
connections. Failure to do so could result in death
or serious injury.
!
Disconnect ignition cable at SPARK terminal on module.
Energize module and listen for audible sparking noise.
When operating normally, there should be buzzing noise
turns on and off twice per second for duration of 1–7
seconds, depending on model.
STEP 4:
Verify pilot and main burner lightoff.
• Initiate call for heat. Turn thermostat above room
temperature. Ignition sequence may be delayed by
thermal purge until boiler water temperature is below
140°F (60°C)
• Watch pilot burner during ignition sequence.
— Verify ignition spark continues after pilot is lit.
— Verify pilot lights and spark stops, verify main
burner does not light.
• If so, ensure adequate
fl
ame current as follows.
— Turn off boiler at circuit breaker or fuse box.
— Clean
fl
ame rod with emery cloth.
— Verify electrical connections are clean and tight.
Replace damaged wire..
— Check for cracked ceramic insulator, which can
cause short to ground, and replace igniter-sensor if
necessary.
— At gas valve, disconnect main valve wire from MV
terminal.
— Turn on power and set thermostat to call for heat. Pilot
should light, main burner will remain off because main
valve actuator is disconnected.
— Check pilot
fl
ame. Verify it is blue, steady and
envelops 3/8 to 1/2 in. [10 to 13 mm] of
fl
ame rod.
Figure 19 for possible
fl
ame problems and causes.
— If necessary, adjust pilot
fl
ame by turning pilot. See
Figure 15, Page 26 . adjustment screw on gas control
clockwise to decrease or counterclockwise to increase
pilot
fl
ame. Following adjustment, always replace pilot
adjustment cover screw and tighten
fi
rmly to assure
proper gas control operation. See Figure 14, Page 26 .
— Set temperature below room set-point to end call for
heat.
• Recheck ignition sequence as follows.
— Reconnect main valve wire.
— Adjust thermostat above room temperature.
— Verify ignition sequence at burner.
— If spark does not stop after pilot lights, replace
module.
— If main burner does not light or if main burner lights
and system locks out, check module, ground wire and
gas control as described in troubleshooting table. See
Table 9, Page 35.

Correct Pilot Flame: 3/8 to 1/2 inch in
fl
ame.
