BG1600M51EF-1AA Universal
Intermittent Pilot Ignition Control
Application
The BG1600M51EF-1AA Universal Intermittent Pilot
Ignition Control replaces many existing intermittent
pilot ignition controls made by various
manufacturers. It is a safety control designed for
indirect burner ignition and supervision, for use with
all gases and applicable to gas-fired appliances.
The BG1600M51EF-1AA is a microprocessor based
ignition control. The microprocessor provides reliable
software control of all timings and operates a
diagnostic Light-Emitting Diode (LED). It provides
ignition sequence, flame monitoring, and safety
shutoff for intermittent pilot boilers, furnaces and
other heating appliances. For a complete listing of
specifications, refer to the Technical Specifications
section.
Installation
Parts Included
The BG1600M51EF-1AA is supplied with a parts kit
containing:
• 6 labels for marking wires
• 1/4” terminal for sense wire
• 3 wire nuts
• Rajah adapter described below
This control uses 1/4” quick connect terminals for
