  • 12.1 Sequence of Operation
    • 1. Turn the thermostat up, the blower motor will energize.
    • 2. When the motor approaches nominal running RPM, the pressure switches will close and activate the ignition module.
    • 3. After a 45 second purge period, the ignition module then opens the gas valve and energizes both spark igniters. The light will be illuminated at any time the gas valve is energized.
    • 4. When both flames are established, the sparking sequence ceases.
    • 5. If both flames are not established during the ignition sequence, the ignition module closes the gas valve and purge begins. The module will try two additional times for ignition with purge between trials. If ignition is not established during eith...
    • 6. After lock out has occurred, the ignition module must be re-set by turning down the thermostat (disconnecting power) for five seconds, and raising it again to the desired temperature.
    • 7. When the thermostat is satisfied, all power to the heater is shut off.
