Operation — spark-ignited pilot boilers

9a

Follow all procedures given in this manual and operating

instructions when operating the boiler. Failure to do so

could result in severe personal injury, death or substantial

property damage.

1.

Standby:

With no call for heat, the vent damper and circulator are de-energized.

No gas flows to pilot or main gas valve.

.

Call for heat

(thermostat circuit closes):

a. Vent damper and circulator energized if pilot status acceptable. Vent

damper drives open. When vent damper end switch makes circuit, igni-

tion control begins pilot ignition attempt.

b. Ignition control checks for false flame signal: If ignition control senses

pilot signal when no pilot gas should be present, control will lockout,

requiring reset procedure as given in

Figure 24.

3.

Pilot ignition:

Control module sparks the pilot and opens pilot valve in main

gas valve.

a. If pilot does light and control module senses flame current, spark

generator is turned off and main valve opens.

b. If pilot does not light within 15 seconds, pilot valve is closed and

spark generator is turned off. Control module waits 5 minutes, then

attempts to ignite pilot again. This cycle will continue indefinitely if

pilot ignition control does not sense pilot flame.

4.

Main burner operation:

a. Control module monitors pilot flame

current. If signal is lost, main valve closes,

spark generator activates and sequence

returns to step 4.

b. If power is interrupted, control system

shuts off pilot and main gas valves and

restarts at step 1 when power is restored.

c. In the event the limit control shuts down

the boiler — The control module closes

the main gas valve, but keeps the circula-

tor operating and the vent damper open.

5.

Thermostat satisfied

(thermostat circuit opens)

— Pilot and main gas valves are closed — Vent

damper is de-energized, and cycles to closed posi-

tion. Circulator is shut off.

. Boiler is now in the standby mode.
. Thermostat anticipator setting: Set thermostat

heat anticipator as instructed in
