6.3 IGNITION SEQUENCE

The ignition sequence is described below and shown in the following diagram (Figure 6-1). The Ignition
Burner Management Module (BMM) is powered on and, after 5 seconds the fan starts at minimum
speed. The fan remains running, actuating the air pressure switch and pre-purging the combustion
chamber for 10 seconds. Actuating the air pressure switch toggles it from normally open (NO) to
normally closed (NC). This energizes the ignition transformer permits the gas valve to be opened after
5 to 8 seconds allowing the AIR/GAS mixture into combustion chamber through the check valve. If the
burner does not light within the ignition time frame, the burner is put in lockout position for 5 sec, after
which it repeats the ignition sequence once again. If no positive result is obtained, then a lockout
conditions occurs and the display on the System Manager will show an error message.
