The  VR8300  gas  controls  provide  ON-OFF  manual 

control  of gas  flow.  In  the OFF  position,  pilot  and  main 

burner gas flow is prevented. In the ON position, pilot and 

main burner gas flow is under control of the thermostat, the 

intermittent  pilot  module,  and  the  two  automatic  main 

valves. 

SYSTEM OPERATION WITH S8600 

When  the  thermostat  calls for heat,  the  S8600  Inter­

mittent  Pilot  Module  is  energized.  The  S8600,  in  turn, 

activates the first automatic valve of the gas control. Pilot 

gas  flow is  allowed.  Simultaneously,  the S8600 module 

generates a spark at the igniter-sensor and lights the pilot. 

The pilot flame is sensed by the igniter-sensor, and spark 

generation ends. 

After the pilot  is lit,  the S8600 module energizes  the 

solenoid for the second automatic valve operator and gas 

flow  main  burner  is  followed  (the  first  automatic  valve 

remains  energized).  The  second  automatic  valve  dia-

phragm, controlled by the servo pressure regulator, opens 

and adjusts gas flow as long as the system is powered and 

the pilot is burning. The servo pressure regulator monitors 

outlet pressure to provide an even main burner gas flow. 

Loss  of  power  (thermostat  satisfied)  de-energizes  the 

S8600  module  and  closes  both  automatic  valves.  The 

system is ready to return to normal service when power is 

restored through the thermostat. 

Loss of pilot flame, or flame too small to reliably light 

main burner, closes the second automatic valve operator. 

The S8600 module then attempts to restart pilot. On S8600 

modules  with  lockout  timers,  the  first  automatic  valve 

closes after the lockout period. On S8600 modules without 

lockout timers,  the  trial for ignition continues  indefinitely 

and the first automatic valve remains open. 

H  pilot flame is restarted successfully,  main burner is 

reopened,  and  gas  flows  to  main  burner  as  described 

above. Gas control operation is  described in  more detail 

below.
