The G891 Pulse Ignition Control is a microprocessor-based, direct spark
ignition control that initiates combustion for the high efficiency pulse
furnace.  The G891 is designed for ignition of natural, Liquefied
Petroleum (LP), manufactured, mixed, or LP gas-air mixtures.

The G891 also provides:

sequencing of ignition source and supervision of burner operation

four additional ignition trials in the event successful ignition is not
accomplished on the initial trial

complete ignition sequence retry after 60 minute shutoff period

inducer motor control

thermostat contact monitoring

system operating status LED that assists in system troubleshooting

keyed wiring connector

All G891 applications must use redundant gas valves.  Any application
over 400,000 Btu/hr must be approved in advance by Johnson Controls
Application Engineering.
