S8610U UNIVERSAL INTERMITTENT PILOT GAS IGNITION CONTROL

69-1955

Using the wiring harness on the appliance, insert
the matching 6-pin plug into the connector (labeled
P1; see Fig. 2 on page 11) on the S8610U ignition
control module and connect the other end to the
vent damper.

NOTE: The connector (P1) accepts a Molex 03-06-2061

plug.

Connect Ignition Cable

Use existing ignition cable if it is in good condition. If the
existing ignition cable does not have a 1/4 in. quick
connect on the module end, either use the Rajah adapter
or strip the wire and replace with the 1/4 in. insulated
quick connect supplied. If the cable must be replaced,
order a Honeywell ignition cable (Table 3) or refer to
Table 4. It might be necessary to replace the connector at
the pilot burner end to match the pilot burner spark
termination.

NOTE: When using an S8610U to replace an S86, use

the enclosed adapter to convert the S86 Ignition
Cable to an S8610U Ignition Cable. Then, install
the adapter and cable to the S8610U Ignition
Module.

Cable must be no longer than 36 in. (0.9 m). To construct
a cable, fit one end of ignition cable with 1/4 in. diameter
Rajah connector receptacle and the other with a 1/4 in.
female quick connect. Protect both ends with insulated
boots.

NOTE: The cable must not run in continuous contact

with a metal surface or spark voltage may be
greatly reduced. Use ceramic or plastic standoff
insulators as required.

To install:

Connect one end of the cable to the male quick
connect SPARK terminal on the ignition module.

Connect the other end of the cable to the igniter or
igniter-sensor stud on the pilot burner/igniter-
sensor.

CAUTION

Equipment Damage Hazard.

Check the wiring diagram provided on the
appliance and compare with Table 5 through
Table 8 beginning on page 8. Carefully follow any
special instructions affecting the general wiring
procedures outlined in this section.

Connect the wires to the module as shown in the
wiring tables (Table 5 through Table 8). Make sure
that adequate system ground is provided as indi-
cated in the wiring tables.
(Refer to Fig. 2 and Table 9 on page 11 for wiring
connections on the S8610U module.)

Verify the thermostat anticipator setting as
explained in the Important notes in the wiring tables.

NOTE: Refer to Fig. 2 and Table 9 on page 11 for the

location of each connection on the S8610U mod-
ule.

The wiring diagrams in Fig. 3 through Fig. 5 beginning on
page 12 describe typical hookups with the S8610U
module and should be used for reference only.
• Fig. 3 shows a basic circuit used only for heating

systems with atmospheric burners and damper control.
(Shown with local and remote flame sensing.)

• Fig. 4 shows a basic circuit used only for heating

systems with atmospheric burners without damper
control. (Shown with local and remote flame sensing.)

• Fig. 5 shows a circuit for power assisted combustion

applications.
