(b) The “Spark Cycle Time” item in the Factory menu can be set to either 0 Sec, 2 Sec
or 7 Sec to define the duration of the Spark Element Cleaning Cycle. This cycle
turns on the spark transformer to produce a spark (with no gas flowing) to clean the
spark element of moisture or carbon buildup.
For the duration of this cycle, the C-More will display the “CLEANING IGNITER”
message.
(c) Following the Spark Element Cleaning Cycle, power is applied to the Gas Safety
Shut-off Valve (SSOV) and the C-More displays the “PRE IGNITION” message.
When the SSOV indicates the Gas Valve is OPEN (POC), the C-More displays the
“IGNITION TRIAL” message.
(d) If no spark is present 3 seconds into the IGNITION TRIAL, the C-More will abort the
Ignition Cycle and shut down the boiler. Refer to Chapter 8: Troubleshooting for
guidance if this occurs.

6. Up to 4 seconds will be allowed for ignition to be detected. The igniter relay will be turned
off one second after flame is detected.
7. After 2 seconds of continuous flame, Flame Proven will be displayed and the flame
strength will be indicated. After 5 seconds, the current date and time will be displayed in
place of the flame strength.
8. With the unit firing properly, it will be controlled by the temperature controller circuitry. The
boiler’s VALVE POSITION will be continuously displayed on the front panel bargraph.
Once the demand for heat has been satisfied, the Control Box will turn off the SSOV gas valve.
The blower relay will be deactivated and the Air/Fuel Valve will be closed. Standby will be
displayed.
