G77x INTERMITTENT PILOT CONTROLS

Application Requirements

The following are the application requirements of the G77x

control.

• The G77x can be used on gas-fired equipment with a

maximum firing rate of 117kW (400,000 BTU/Hr). Any

application over 117kW (40,000 BTU/Hr) must have written

approval in advance from the Johnson Controls Heating

Products Engineering Department.

• All G77x applications must use a redundant gas valve

system where the pilot and main valve seats are in series

and opened in sequence for intermittent pilot ignition.

Operating Mode Definitions

The following definitions describe operating conditions.

Prepurge: Initial time delay between thermostat contact

closure and trial for ignition.

Trial for Ignition: Period during which the pilot valve and

spark are activated, attempting to ignite gas at the pilot

burner. The control attempts to prove flame at the pilot

burner within the trial-for-ignition time.

Run: Pilot and main gas valves remain energized and spark

is turned off after successful ignition.

100% Shutoff: For controls with automatic recycle, pilot

gas did not ignite within the trial-for-ignition time. The

control de-energizes the spark circuit and pilot valve.

Automatic Recycle: If shutoff occurs, the control delays for

a specific recycle delay period before beginning another

trial for ignition (models with recycle only).

Interpurge: Period between trials for ignition when both

the gas valve and spark are deactivated to allow unburned

gas to escape before the next trial. Interpurge occurs

between unsuccessful trials on a multi-trial control or after

a flameout (if the control has an interpurge).

Ignition Lockout: Pilot gas did not ignite within the final

trial-for-ignition time. Open thermostat contacts for 30

seconds, then close to restart the sequence of operation.

(Models with an optional LED will flash the LED to indicate

ignition lockout.)

Flameout: Loss of proven flame.

Hard Lockout: The control detected a fault. Open

thermostat contacts for 30 seconds, then close to restart

the sequence of operation. (Models with an optional LED

will turn off the LED to indicate a hard lockout.)

Sequence of Operation

Figure 2 illustrates the sequence of operation of the G77x

control.

The control is energized on a call for heat from the system

thermostat. (Models with an optional LED will turn on the

LED [steady on] until the call for heat is satisfied.) The vent

damper, if used, is energized and when fully opened, also

energizes the ignition control. If the control is equipped with

the optional prepurge, the appliance prepurge fan or relay

is also energized through the thermostat contacts. In the

prepurge mode, the control will delay for the time selected

(e.g., 15 seconds) before simultaneously opening the pilot

valve and supplying a continual spark at the pilot burner. If

prepurge is not selected, the pilot valve is opened and spark

initiated within one second after the call for heat.

Under normal conditions, the pilot burner gas ignites within

the trial-for-ignition time (e.g., 8 seconds), the pilot flame

sensor detects pilot flame and signals the control to energize

the main valve. The main gas valve will not be energized until

the flame sensor detects the presence of pilot flame. The

spark will continue until flame is sensed at the pilot burner or

the trial-for-ignition time has elapsed, whichever occurs first.

If the pilot flame is not sensed before the end of the trial-for-

ignition time, the control may:

• proceed to interpurge, followed by another trial (three

trial models whose first two trials produced no flame).

• proceed to a lockout (no automatic recycle models whose

final trial produced no flame).

• proceed to a recycle delay period followed by another trial

(automatic recycle models whose final trial produced no

flame).
