17.3.1 Checking the Electrical System
1. Set all thermostats belo
w
room temperat
u
re.
2. T
u
rn on po
w
er s
u
pply to the system controls.
3. Check to see that no part of the system (i.e.
b
u
rners, p
u
mp, o
u
tside air s
u
pply blo
w
er) is
po
w
ered.
4. Individ
u
ally check each zone by energizing the
thermostats separately. Each zone thermostat
sho
u
ld start the p
u
mp immediately. When the
p
u
mp reaches the nominal r
u
nning RPM, the
press
u
re s
w
itch closes and activates the ignition
mod
u
le. A pre-p
u
rge period
w
ill precede b
u
rner
ignition trial.
5. If more than one system is installed, be s
u
re that
no part of one system is affected by the controls
of a different system.
6. Make a preliminary vac
uu
m check at b
u
rners in
branches
w
hich have an adj
u
stable damper
co
u
for vac

ctions. This check is to ens
u
re
that all dampers are open before the system is
fired. The vac

ring the initial firing, the protective oil on the
t
u
be may smoke for 30 to 60 min

tes and adeq
u

ld be provided.
1. Start
w
ith all thermostats belo
w
room
temperat
u
re.
2. Open main gas valve.
3. T
u
rn
u
p thermostats one at a time,
w
aiting to
see that all b
u

b
u
rner ignites, a bl

17.3.3 Se
q
uence of Operation - Multiburner
1. Thermostat, on a call for heat, signals the
control panel or relay contacts to energize the
p
u
mp motor. The p
u
mp (and o
u
tside air s
u
pply
blo
w
er, if
u
sed) are activated.
2. When the p
u
mp motor achieves normal r
u
nning
RPM, the press
u
re s
w
itch at the p
u
mp inlet
closes.
3. After a minim
u
m 45-60 second pre-p
u
rge delay
(system control only), the zone relay
corresponding to the thermostat calling for heat
is energized (system control only), and line
voltage is directed to the b
u
rners in the zone.
4. When s
u
fficient vac
uu
m differential (
) is available at the b
u
rner and
the control system is s
u
pplying line voltage to
the b
u
rner, the press
u
re s
w
itch
w
ithin the b
u
rner
closes and energizes the ignition mod
u
le.
5. After a 45 second pre-p
u
rge, the ignition mod
u
le
opens the gas valve and energizes the
electrode. When the flame is established, the
sparking seq
u
ence ends.
6. If the flame is not established d
u
ring the ignition
seq
u
ence, the ignition mod
u
le closes the gas
valve and p
u
rge begins. The ignition mod
u
le
w
ill
try 2 additional times for ignition (
w
ith p
u
rge
bet
w
een). If ignition is not established, the
mod
u
le
w
ill lock-o
u
t.
NOTE: After 1 ho
u
r, the mod
u
le
w
ill reset
a
u
tomatically and ret
u
rn to steps 5 and 6.
7. If a flame is detected, the gas valve remains
open. When the call for heat is satisfied, the
system control or relay de-energizes the b
u
rner
and p
u
mp po
w
er s
u
pply. When
u
sing the system
control, the p
u
mp t
u
rns off after a post-p
u
rge
period.
8. If the flame exting
u
ishes d
u
ring operation, the
ignition mod
u
le
w
ill attempt to re-establish the
flame. If ignition is not re-established, the
mod
u
le
w
ill lock-o
u
t.
