S89E,F DIRECT SPARK IGNITION CONTROL MODULE

68-0066—05

OPERATION

The S89 is powered by a 24V transformer. It operates in 
response to a call for heat from the thermostat.

On every call for heat, the S89 performs a safe start check. If a 
flame or a flame simulating condition is present, the S89 locks 
out without starting the igniter and must be reset.

Following the safe start check and, on the S89F, a valve on 
delay period, the S89 spark generator contacts close to 
energize the spark generator and the igniter. At the same time 
the gas control, powered through the gas valve relay contacts 
in the S89, opens so gas can flow to the burner. The igniter is 
on during approximately the first 80 percent of the ignition, or 
lockout timing, period. During the balance of the lockout 

timing period, the ignition is off and the flame sensor attempts 
to prove the flame. The flame is proved when current from the 
flame sensor through the burner flame to ground reaches 
0.8 

μ

A dc. 

If flame is proved,

 the gas control remains open and the 

burner on until the call for heat ends.

If flame is not proved, 

the gas control closes and the system is 

locked out until the S89 is reset.

If flame is lost after being proved, 

the S89 will close the gas 

control, perform a safe start check, and, on the S89F, valve on 
delay, then return ignition as described above.

The S89 is reset by turning the thermostat below room 
temperature or removing power to the system for 45 seconds.
