4. Honeywell EI Sequence of Operation

a. Normal Operation

i. Thermostat or operating control calls for

heat. Vent Damper (if used) opens.

ii. Ignition Module Terminals PV, MV/PV

and the Ignition Terminal are energized.

Terminals PV and MV/PV power the Pilot

Valve in the Gas Valve supplying gas to

the Pilot. The Ignition Terminal supplies

voltage to the Ignition Electrode creating an

electric spark to ignite the Pilot.

iii. The sensing Circuit between the Q348

Pilot Burner and the IGNITION MODULE

proves the presence of the Pilot Flame

Electronically and the Ignition Terminal is

de-energized.

iv. Terminals MV and MV/PV of the

IGNITION MODULE are energized and

supply power to the Main Gas Valve. The

Gas Valve is energized allowing main gas

flow, and ignition of Main Burners.

v. Call for heat ends. Ignition module is de-

energized, de-energizing gas valve, and

extinguishing pilot and main flame. Vent

Damper (if used) closes.

b. Safety Shutdown

i. Limit: Automatically interrupts power

to the Ignition Module and Gas Valve(s),

extinguishing pilot and main flame, when

water temperature exceeds set point.

Maximum allowable temperature is 250°F.

Circulator continues to operate with call for

heat, Vent Damper (if used) closes. Normal

operation resumes when water temperature

falls below set point.

ii. Blocked Vent Switch: Automatically

interrupts main burner operation when

excessive flue gas spillage occurs.

Circulator continues to operate and Vent

Damper (if used) remains open with call

for heat. If blocked vent switch is activated

do not attempt to place boiler in operation.

Correct cause of spillage and reset blocked

vent switch.

iii. Flame Roll-out switch: Automatically

interrupts main burner operation when

flames or excessive heat are present in

vestibule. Circulator continues to operate,

Vent Damper (if used) remains open with

call for heat. Control is single use device.

If flame roll-out switch is activated, do not

attempt to place boiler in operation. Correct

cause of spillage and replace flame roll-out

switch.

iv. Pilot
– Pilot failure can occur during the start-up or

the operating cycle of the boiler. Any pilot

failure of the Q348 Electronic Pilot, after

ignition of pilot flame will close the main

gas valve in 0.8 seconds.

– For approximately 90 seconds after failure

of the Q348 pilot, the module through the

ignition terminal will try to reestablish

pilot flame. If no pilot flame can be sensed

by the flame rod circuit, terminals PV and

MV/PV are de-energized and the module

will lock out on safety. Five to six minutes

after shutdown, the IGNITION MODULE

restarts the ignition sequence. The ignition

trial, shutdown, and wait sequence continues

until either the pilot lights or the Thermostat

is set below room temperature (to end the

call for heat). The ignition sequence can be

reset by setting down the Thermostat for one

minute.
