APPLICATION
These ignition modules provide ignition sequence, flame
monitoring and safety shutoff for intermittent pilot
central furnaces and heating appliances. S8600
module provides up to 1.0 A pilot and 1.0 A main valve
current rating. Minimum ambient temperature rating is
-40 F [-40C]. Maximum ambient rating is +175 F [+79 C]
for S8600 used with 1.0 A or less main valve.
IMPORTANT: INSTALLATION
We recommend that our products
be installed and serviced by
professionals who are certified in
the U.S. by NFI (National Fireplace
Institute) or in Canada by WETT
(Wood Energy Technical Training).
Installer must follow all instructions
carefully to ensure proper
performance and safety.
WHEN INSTALLING THIS IGNITION SYSTEM…
1. Read these instructions carefully. Failure to follow
them could damage the components or cause a
hazardous condition.
2. Check the ratings given in the instructions and on
the components to make sure they are suitable for your
application.
3. Installer must be a trained, experienced service
technician.
4. After installation is complete, check out component
operation as provided in these instructions.
5. Fireplace installation- do NOT close doors to
fireplace at ant time during use- will result in damage to
components.
WARNING
FIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZARD.
CAN CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.
1. The ignition module can malfunction if it gets wet,
leading to accumulation of explosive gas.
y
Never install where water can flood, drip or
condense on module.
y
Never try to use a module that has been wet-
replace it.
2. Liquefied petroleum (LP) gas is heavier than air
and will not vent upward naturally.
y
Do not light pilot or operate electric switches,
lights, or appliances until you are sure the appliance
area is free of gas.
MOUNT IGNITION MODULE
Select a location close enough to the burner
to allow a short (3ft), direct cable route to the
igniter. Ambient temperature at the module
must be within the range listed under
APPLICATION. The module must be protected
from water, moisture, corrosive chemicals and
excessive dust and grease.
We recommend mounting the module with the
terminals down to protect them from dripping
water and dust. It can also be mounted with the
terminals on either side. DO NOT MOUNT with
terminals pointing up. Fasten securely with four
No. 6-32 machine or No.8 sheet metal screws.
MOUNT THE SYSTEM CONTROLS
Mount any required controls, such as the gas
control, spark igniter, flame sensor, thermostat,
limit and transformer according to
manufacturer’s instructions. Seal all electrical
connections (terminals, connectors, & wire nuts)
with electrical silicone to prevent shorting.
CAUTION
1. Disconnect power supply before beginning wiring
to prevent electrical shock or equipment damage.
2. If a new gas control is to be installed, turn off gas
supply before starting installation. Conduct Gas
Leak Test according to gas control manufacturer’s
instructions after the gas control is installed.
3. If module must be mounted near moisture or
water, provide suitable waterproof enclosure.
CAUTION
1. Check the wiring diagram furnished by the
appliance manufacturer, for circuits differing
from the wiring hookups shown.
2. Disconnect the power supply before making
wiring connections to prevent electrical shock or
equipment damage.
