S8910U UNIVERSAL HOT SURFACE IGNITION MODULE
Purge/Prepurge
When the S8910U is used in a fan-assisted combustion
system, the combustion air blower starts on a call for heat
from the thermostat. On proof of airflow, the air proving
switch closes and energizes the S8910U. When the
S8910U is used in an atmospheric system, the call for heat
energizes the module.
In either case, the S8910U first initiates a 32-second delay
to allow system prepurge.
Igniter Warmup
After prepurge, the S8910U energizes the igniter to start
the igniter warmup. The module energizes the hot surface
igniter for a 34-second warmup period, during which the
gas control is closed.
