OPERATING PROCEDURE FOR A BASIC
CONTROL SYSTEM
Before applying any power supply to the IFC board please verify that the electrical connections are
in accordance to Fig. 5.
Initializing the System for the first time
Set the main burner ON/OFF command switch to the OFF position.
If installed, set the pilot flame mode selector switch to the IPI position.
Install 4 AA batteries into the battery holder, and respect the polarity indicated on the battery
holder silkscreen. Connect the battery holder to the IFC main wiring harness.
Connect the AC power supply to the IFC.
Setting the Appliance into Continuous Pilot ignition mode
If installed on the wirings, set the IPI/CPI Pilot Mode Switch to the CPI position (switch closed). At
that point the IFC ignition board will immediately complete the ignition sequence for the Pilot
Flame, and then will remain with the Pilot Flame ON, waiting for a command to ignite the Main
Burner Flame.
Turning ON the Appliance
Close the ON/OFF command contact on the ON/OFF wires, and this will command the IFC ignition
board to Turn-ON the appliance main burner.
Turning OFF the Appliance
Open the ON/OFF command contact on the ON/OFF wires, and this will command the IFC ignition
board to Turn-OFF the appliance main burner.
NOTE: if the Continuous Pilot ignition mode is selected, the Pilot Flame will remain ON. To also
turn it completely OFF, switch the appliance into Intermittent Pilot ignition mode, so set the IPI/CPI
Pilot Mode Switch to the IPI position (switch opened).
