Electrical High Tension
Igniter type HTSS
Instruction Manual
1. INTRODUCTION
This Instruction Manual contains a description of the type
HTSS
High Tension Spark and Sense Igniter
construction, operation principle and the instructions for installation, start-up and service, including the industrial
health & safety recommendations.
The type
HTSS
igniter is a reliable source of ignition for natural and forced draught gas igniters and pilo
ts as well as
small capacity gas burners. It is designed to ignite a mixture of various types of gaseous fuels with air.
Typical fuel gases for HTSS igniter are: Natural gas, Propane or LPG gases. In case of or Refinery off gases, especially
including high hydrogen, sulphur compounds like hydrogen sulphide and other chemicals increasing the corrosion
rate, and in case of other waste gases, like low calorific value gas or wet and dirty gas consult Fireye
.
After ignition it can also be used as a continuous flame sensing device serving as a “Spark and Sense” Igniter.
The igniter is made of high quality materials, and it is rigorously checked and tested prior to dispatch.
Familiarization with the following instructions will reduce the possibility of equipment failure to a minimum and
ensure safe operation.
2. OPERATION PRINCIPLE AND TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION
This
HTI (High Tension Igniter) igniter
is the ignition element of intermittent and continuous (pilot) operation gas
igniters. Both safe and hazardous area Zone 1 HTI versions are available.
The
HTSS
igniter can be used in gas pilots (igniters) which can accept a 16 mm diameter rod, with coaxial
electrode arrangement e.g. with the
SP-
32-NG/PG-FD, SP-32-NG/PG-ND,
SP-48-NG/PG-ND
or
SP-48-NG/PG-
FD
gas pilots offered by Fireye
.
The igniter can be configured as igniter only or as igniter with “Spark & Sense” mode in following options:
Operation as igniter only, necessary parts:
When ignition transformer is powered, the high voltage 7,500V to 10,000V, between the central electrode
and outer tube at the igniter rod tip produces a continuous electric arc of rod of energy allowing the
ignition of air-gas mixture on gas pilots
.
It can be used as
“igniter only”
in two options:
-
without Power Pack
, scope is:

High Tension Rods
P/N:
HTSS-xxx-J
,
HTSS-xxx-CEX
or
HTSS-xxx-J-CEX
(each including HV cable) and
Ignition Transformer
P/N
TX-230/110-8000
(see p. 3).
HTSS
rods and tips are designed to work with this ignition transformer. Its output parameters are: 15 mA at
8000 V. Transformer should be mounted in a box or cabinet out of igniter scope of delivery (see Fig. 1 and 3
for Safe or Hazardous Area).
The ignition is activated by applying supply voltage to ignition transformer terminals (see p. 1).
