•
Ignition Activation Period (IAP)
: The period between
energizing the main gas valve and deactivation of
the ignition source prior to the end of TFI.
•
Flame Recognition Period (FRP)
: The period between
deactivation of the ignition source and the expira-
tion of the TFI.
•
Flame Failure Response Time (FFRT)
: The period
between loss of the supervised main burner flame
and the action to shut off the gas supply.
•
Igniter Warm-up Time
: The length of time allowed
for the hot surface igniter to heat up prior to the
initiation of gas flow.
•
Pre-purge Time
: The period of time intended to al-
low for the dissipation of any unburned gas or re-
sidual products of combustion at the beginning of a
furnace operating cycle prior to initiating ignition.
Beginning from the moment the pressure switch is
sensed closed and lasting until the ignition source is
energized.
•
Inter-purge Time
: The period of time intended to
allow for the dissipation of any unburned gas or re-
sidual products of combustion, just prior to initiating
ignition retries during the Ignition Retries sequence.
•
Post-purge
Time
: The period of time to allow for the
dissipation of any unburned gas or residual products
of combustion at the end of a furnace burner operat-
ing cycle. Post-purge begins at the loss of flame
sense.
•
Ignition Stabilization Period
– The period between
sensing of the main burner flame and the transition
from the Ignition Firing Rate to the Target Firing Rate.
•
Ignition Recycles
: The additional attempts within the
same thermostat cycle for ignition after loss of the
supervised ignition source or the supervised main
burner flame.
•
Ignition Retries
: The additional attempts within the
same thermostat cycle for ignition when the super-
vised main burner flame is not proven within the Trial
for Ignition Period.
•
Low Fire Rate
: The lowest firing rate the IFC con-
trols to during a heating cycle.
•
High Firing Rate:
The maximum firing rate that an
installed appliance can attain based on manifold ori-
fices and the high pressure switch setting.
•
Ignition Firing Rate:
The target firing rate at which
the appliance always lights off. The appliance stays
at this firing rate until the Ignition Stabilization Pe-
riod expires. It then moves to the target firing rate
called for by the operating sequence.
•
Target Firing Rate:
The firing rate that the IFC con-
trols the inducer to attain at a given time in the op-
erating sequence.
•
Heat Fan On Delay
: The period between proof of the
supervised main burner flame and the activation of
the blower motor at the low heat speed.
•
Heat Fan Off Delay
: The period between the loss of
supervised main burner flame after the call for heat
has ended and the deactivation of the blower motor.
•
2
nd
Stage On Delay
: This applies to systems config-
ured for 1-stage thermostats. The length of time
operating in normal low fire mode before switching
to mid fire mode.
•
Auto Restart Delay
: The time delay waited before
the control is able to perform a new trial for ignition
in the case of Soft Lockout.
•
Soft Lockout
: A state caused a system fault such as
loss of flame or pressure switch failure .
•
Hard Lockout
: A state caused by a failure internal to
the control or by a system fault such as a flame rollout
•
Fault Debouncing Time
: The period between a sys-
tem fault occurring and the IFC recognizing the fault
has occurred. This time varies depending on the spe-
cific fault.
•
Factory Shared Data
: Data used by a ClimateTalk™
device for specific configuration parameters. This
data will be programmed in at the factory.
