S89E,F

Direct Spark Ignition Control Module

APPLICATION

The Honeywell S89E,F Direct Spark Ignition Control Modules 

control the ignition sequence and gas control operation in 

direct spark systems used primarily on gas-fired atmospheric 

and power burners in residential furnaces and heating 

appliances.

FEATURES

• Requires separate 120 Vac spark generator.
• S89E has 10-second maximum delay for safe start 

check before ignition.

• S89F has 38-second maximum delay for safe start 

check plus valve on delay before ignition.

• Available with 4 or 11 second (nominal) lockout timing.
• 100 percent shutoff for use with all heating gases.
• Ambient temperature rating is -40°F to +175°F (-40°C to 

+80°C).

• Separate electrodes for spark ignition and flame 

sensing.

• Uses Honeywell or any other 2A or less dual valve 

combination gas control designed for Direct Spark 

Ignition (DSI) applications.

• Locks out system after trial for ignition if main burner 

fails to ignite.

• Flame rectification principle used to monitor flame; 

false flame signals resulting from short to ground 

results in safety shutdown.

• After safety shutdown, S89E and F can be reset from 

the thermostat.
