G76X DIRECT SPARK IGNITION CONTROLS

Application Requirements

Following are the application requirements of the

G76xcontrol.

• The G76x can be used on gas-fired equipment with a

maximum firing rate of 117 kW (400,000 Btu/hr). Any

application greater than117 kW (400,000 Btu/hr) must

have written approval in advance from the Johnson

Controls Heating Products Engineering Department.

• All G76x applications must use a redundant gas valve

system where the main valve seats are in series and open

simultaneous for direct spark burner 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 main valve and

spark are energized in an attempt to ignite gas at the main

burner. The control attempts to prove flame at the main

burner within the trial-for-ignition time.

Run: Main gas valve remains energized and the spark is

turned off after successful ignition.

100% Shutoff: For controls with automatic recycle, main

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

control de-energizes the spark circuit and main valve.

Automatic Recycle: If 100% shutoff occurs, the control

delays for a specific recycle delay period before beginning

another trial for ignition. (Modelswith 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 loss of proven flame (flameout).

Ignition Lockout: Main gas did not ignite within the final

trial-for-ignition time. Open the 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 the

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 3 illustrates the sequence of operation of the G76x

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.) If the control is

equipped with the optional prepurge, the control will delay

for the time selected before initiating a trial for ignition.

During the trial for ignition, the control attempts to light the

main burner by simultaneously energizing the main gas valve

and supplying a continuous spark at the igniter electrode.

If the optional prepurge is not selected, then the trial for

ignition begins within one second after the call for heat.

The spark is deactivated immediately following the trial for

ignition.

Under normal conditions, the main burner gas ignites within

the trial-for-ignition time. If the control senses main burner

flame by the end of the trial, the control proceeds to a run

condition. During the run state, the control energizes the

main valve until the call for heat ends, or until a flameout

occurs. If main burner flame is not sensed by the end of the

trial-for-ignition time, the control may:

• Proceed to a 30-second 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)
