SECTION 11: OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE
This heater is equipped with a direct spark ignition
system.
11.1 Sequence of Operation
1. Turn the thermostat up. When the thermostat
calls for heat, the blower motor will energize.
2. When the motor approaches nominal running
RPM, the pressure switch closes and activates
the ignition module.
3. After a 45 second prepurge, the ignition module
then opens the gas valve and energizes the
spark igniter.
4. When the flame is established, the sparking
sequence ceases.
5. If the flame is not established during the ignition
sequence, the ignition module closes the gas
valve and purge begins. Module will try 2
additional times for ignition (with purges in
between trials). If ignition is not established, the
module will lockout.
6. If the flame extinguishes during operation, the
ignition module will attempt the multiple trial
sequence described in step 5. If ignition is not
re-established, the module will lockout for one
hour or until reset.
7. After lockout, the control can be reset by turning
down thermostat for five seconds, and then
raising it again to desired temperature, or by
disconnecting power and then reconnecting.
8. When thermostat is satisfied, all power to the
unit is shut off.
11.2 To Shut Off Heater
