MODES OF OPERATION
2.2
The Proheat Control Module (G-I PCM) has three modes of operation: Standard,
Preheat and Supplemental. Depending on the installation, more than one mode
may be wired for operation. The wired modes may be identified by referring to
the installation wiring diagram to determine the G-I PCM pins on P2 Control that
have been connected. This wiring diagram may be compared with the drawing
in Section 1.2 Electrical. The following is a summary of the operation modes:
Standard Heat Mode
• normal operation of the
Proheat
• over-rides and drops out
preheat mode
• overrides supplemental
mode
Preheat Mode
• similar to standard
mode Except: 90 minute
time out.
• activated via momentary
contact push button
switch with latching
internal to the G-I PCM
Supplemental Heat Mode
• similar to standard mode
except: coolant pump
does not run when
Proheat is not firing
• overrides and drops out
preheat mode
• 30 second signal
required before mode
enabled
• No delay required for
mode switch off
The ON/OFF switch lamp, timer lamp or OEM indicator (installation options)
will light. If the coolant temperature is below 160°F (71°C) the PROHEAT
enters Pre-check. If the coolant temperature is above 160°F (71°C) the
PROHEAT enters Standby.
The G-I PCM performs self diagnosis checking sensors for correct range,
electrical components for over-load and for a flame presence. Also during the
first Pre-check, the Ignition Module sparks for five seconds to allow a service
technician to visually check for a spark. If there are no errors indicated, the
PROHEAT goes to Ignition.
The Motor and Coolant Pump start first, followed by the ignition spark, and
then Fuel Shut-off Valve opens. The Ignition Module sparks for 30 seconds
during which time the flame sensor must detect a correct flame. At the end
of the Ignition cycle the Flame Sensor checks the flame:
• If the PROHEAT detects proper flame, it enters Full Output.
• If the PROHEAT does not detect proper flame, the PROHEAT enters Cool Down
(Purge). The PROHEAT will attempt to start again moving into Pre-check after
Cool Down (Purge). If the second start cycle fails, the PROHEAT will enter
Fault Shut Down.
The PROHEAT will continue in Full Output until the coolant temperature reaches
185°F (85°C) at the PROHEAT outlet Temperature Sensor. The PROHEAT closes
the Fuel Shut-off Valve and goes into Cool Down (Purge).
The Motor and Coolant Pump continue to operate for three minutes. After three
minutes, the Motor stops and the PROHEAT enters Standby. The PROHEAT
will Cool Down (Purge) for three reasons:
• Coolant reaches 185°F (85°C).
• A fault is detected. Go to Section 4.0 Troubleshooting and Repair, page 4-1.
• The PROHEAT is operating in Ignition or Full Output when it is switched off.
