RA890F

INSTALLATION

IMPORTANT: Do not run high voltage ignition transformer

wires in the same conduit with the flame detector
wiring.

IMPORTANT: When connecting wire to screw terminal of

terminal strip, wrap wire at least 3/4 of distance
around screw without overlapping. With appropri-
ately sized screwdriver, tighten screw until wire is
snugly in contact with underside of screw and contact
plate. Tighten screw additional one-half turn. Do not
use a push-type ratchet screwdriver.

FOR INTERMITTENT IGNITION, CONNECT TO TERMINAL 3.

IF LINE VOLTAGE CONTROLLER IS USED, CONNECT IT BETWEEN 
THE LIMIT CONTROLLER AND TERMINAL 6. JUMPER T-T.
 
HOOKUP FOR CONTINUOUS (STANDING) PILOT IS THE SAME AS 
FOR INTERRUPTED IGNITION EXCEPT IGNITION AND PILOT
VALVE CONNECTIONS ARE NOT MADE.

SPDT ALARM TERMINALS OPTIONAL. IF LINE VOLTAGE IS USED,
RA890F MUST BE MOUNTED IN SUITABLE ENCLOSURE. ALARM 
TERMINALS ARE ENERGIZED THROUGH RA890 SAFETY SWITCH.
ALARM WILL NOT SOUND UNTIL SAFETY SWITCH TRIPS OUT. 

POWER SUPPLY. PROVIDE DISCONNECT MEANS AND OVERLOAD 
PROTECTION AS REQUIRED.

FOR RA890E REPLACEMENT, LEAVE POWER CONNECTED TO 
TERMINAL 1. SUBBASE WIRING CHANGES ARE NOT REQUIRED.

SOME AUTHORITIES HAVING JURISDICTION PROHIBIT THE WIRING
OF ANY LIMIT OR OPERATING CONTACTS IN SERIES WITH THE MAIN
FUEL VALVES (S).
