GENERAL SYSTEM OPERATION 

Designed for operation with natural or LP gas appliances. 
1.  The thermostat (wall thermostat, or aquastat) calls for heat and energizes a relay which activates the 

power venter. After the venter motor has come up to speed, the pressure switch closes. This closes the 
circuit to the burner and allows the burner to operate. 

2.  For millivolt controlled water heaters, the gas valve pressure switch activates the power venter at the 

same time as the burner fires. 

3.  After the heating requirement has been satisfied, the thermostat circuit will open and de-activate the 

burner and power venter circuit. 

4.  For venting system equipped with a post purge device, the power venter operates for a period of time 

after the burner has shut off to purge remaining flue gases. 

CONTROL KITS: 

CK-41:

  For operation with gas-fired furnaces, boilers, unit heaters and water heaters operating with 24 VAC 

gas valve. For systems with factory-mounted spillage switches, use the CK-40 Control Kit. 

CK-43: 

For draft induced 24 VAC gas valve systems. Includes a 4" MG-1 draft control and electronic post 
purge. 

CK-81: 

For operation with 750 millivolt operated boilers, furnaces, water heaters, pool or spa heaters and 
gas-fired fireplaces when operating with remote mounted thermostat. Operated off a 24 VAC 
thermostat. For operation off of a 120 VAC thermostat or wall switch, use the CK-80. 

CK-90: 

For operation with a gas-fired furnace or boiler and a 30 millivolt water heater. 

CK-91: 

For gas fired draft induced 24 VAC gas valve systems and a 30 millivolt operated water heater. 
Includes a 4" MG-1 draft control and an electronic post purge.
