SECTION 11: OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE
The heater is equipped with a hot-surface ignition
system.
11.1 Sequence of Operation
1. Turn the thermostat up. When the thermostat
calls for heat, the SmartValve
®
II will energize.
After a short period, power is supplied to the
blower motor.
2. When the motor approaches nominal running
RPM, the pressure switch closes and signals
the ignition module/SmartValve
®
II.
3. The ignition module/SmartValve
®
II then ener-
gizes the hot-surface igniter for a timed warm-up
period (approximately 45 to 60 seconds). After
the warm-up period, the gas valve is energized.
4. If a flame is detected, the gas valve remains
open and the igniter is de-energized. When the
call for heat is satisfied, and the system control
mechanism de-energizes the burner line voltage
supply, the gas is turned off.
5. If no flame is detected by the flame sensing rod,
the igniter is de-energized and the module/
SmartValve
®
II will close and a purge period
begins. After the purge, the module/SmartValve
®
II acts to power the igniter for a second warm-up
period and a second trial for ignition period. If
flame is still not established, a third purge,
warm-up, and trial cycle begins. After four trials,
the module/SmartValve
®
II will lockout for one
hour or until reset.
6. If the flame extinguishes during operation, the
igniter module will provide multiple trial
sequences described in step 5. If ignition is not
re-established, the module/SmartValve
®
II will
lockout for one hour or until reset.
7. After lockout, reset by turning down thermostat
for five seconds, and then raising it again to
desired temperature, or by disconnecting power
and then reconnecting.
