MOUNTING AND WIRING

The 35-71 is not position sensitive and can be mounted vertically or 
horizontally.  The control may be mounted on any surface and fastened 
with #6 sheet metal screws.  Secure the control in an area that will 
experience a minimum of vibration and remain below the maximum 
ambient temperature of  80°C (175°F). 

All connections should be made with UL approved, 105°C rated, 18 gauge,
stranded, .054” thick insulated wire.  Refer to the appropriate wiring 
diagram when connecting the 35-71 to other components in the system.  High
voltage spark cables and control wiring harnesses are detailed on 
Pages 5 and 6.

Label all wires prior to disconnection when servicing the 

control. Wiring errors can cause improper and dangerous operation.  
A functional checkout of a replacement is necessary to prevent porperty
damage and/or personal injury or death.

On controls configured for single spark and sense with quick connects,the S1 

terminal is removed.  On controls configured for single spark and sense with 

multi-pin connector, leave S1 wire, pin 1, color gray unconnected.

SPECIFICATIONS

The LED will flash on for 0.2 seconds then off for 0.2 seconds to indicate an
error condition.  The pause time between error codes will be 2.5 to 3.0 seconds.
During power-up, the LED will light for one second and then turn off to indicate
normal operation

.

ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTICS

**

May indicate either that a flame was detected during pre-, inter- or post-purge, 

or that there is a flame sensing error.

Symptom

Control will not start up

Gas Valve on and 

no spark during TFI

Spark on and gas valve
off

Flame during TFI but no

flame sense after TFI

Call for ignition, but 

combustion blower 

doesn't start up

Pressure switch operating 

properly, but no TFI after 

purge period

Recommended Actions

A. Check for 120VAC at L1 and/ or TH

B. Check fuse/ circuit breaker

C. Check thermostat on and set above ambient

D. Red LED steady on. Reset power. Replace

control if LED remains on.

A. Shorted electrode - re-establish 1/8" gap

B. Check that bracket is making a solid 

ground connection

C. Check connection at each end of high 

voltage cable

A. Check for 120VAC at V1

B. Check wiring to V1 and V2

C. Valve coil malfunction

A. Check that the spark electrode/ flame 

sensor are in the flame

B. Poor ground at the burner

C. Low flame current - check flame current 

using test pins on the control

A. Check for 120VAC at L1 and TH

B. Check for 120VAC at IND, should be on if 

pressure switch is operating properly

C. Check that the pressure switch has been 

wired properly

D. Pressure switch failed off or on (1 LED Flash) 

E. Check blower fan assembly

A. Flame was detected during purge period 

(2 LED Flashes)

B. Check for 120VAC at L1 and TH

C. Check for 120VAC at IND, should be on 

if pressure switch is operating properly
