IGNITION SEQUENCE

First Stage – Trial For Pilot Ignition

On every call for heat (system start), the S86 performs an

internal safe-start check and shows that a flame-simulating

condition is present. During a normal start, the S86 opens the

pilot valve in the gas control. This allows gas to flow to the

pilot burner. Simultaneously the electronic spark generator

in the S86 produces a 30,000 volt pulse output. This voltage

produces a spark at the pilot burner igniter/sensor rod,

igniting the gas flow around the electrode. If the pilot flame

is not detected during the trial for pilot ignition, the S86H

contains a safety lockout timer (90 Seconds) to limit the

ignition period.

Second Stage – Main Burner Operation

When the Pilot flame is established, a flame rectification

circuit is complete to the burner ground. The S86 flame

sensing circuit detects the flame circuit and shuts the spark

generator off. At the same time the second operator (main

gas valve) is opened in the gas control, allowing gas flow

to the burners. This pilot flame ignites the main burner

conventionally.

Safety Lock Out Time.

The safety lockout timer circuit starts timing the moment the

trail for the pilot ignition starts. When the timing periods runs

out, the trial for ignition ends, and the control module goes

into lockout. Before another attempt to start can be made,

the S86 must be reset. Reset by adjusting the thermostat or

controller below room temperature, or to its "OFF" position.

An alternate method is to shut the system power "OFF". If

normal ignition does not occur, use the trouble shooting

table to determine the problem.
