E Series CE/AGA Approved

Intermittent Pilot Ignition Control

Application

The E Series CE/AGA Approved Intermittent Pilot
Ignition Control is a safety control designed for indirect
burner ignition and supervision, for use with all gases
and applicable to gas-fired appliances.

The E Series is a microprocessor based ignition
control. The microprocessor provides reliable software
control of all timings and operates a diagnostic
Light-Emitting Diode (LED). It provides ignition
sequence, flame monitoring, and safety shutoff for
boilers, furnaces and other gas-fired heating
appliances.

Installation

IMPORTANT: Only qualified personnel should

install or service BASO Gas Products®. These
instructions are a guide for such personnel. Carefully
follow all instructions for the appliance.

IMPORTANT: Make all gas installations in
accordance with applicable local, national, and
regional regulations.

Instructions for installing the pilot burner/igniter-sensor
are typically provided by the appliance manufacturer. It
is important to follow those instructions. If such
information is not included, refer to the Mounting
section.

Mounting

!

CAUTION: Risk of Electric Shock.
Disconnect power supply before making electrical
connections to avoid electric shock.

!

WARNING: Risk of Explosion or Fire.
Shut off the gas supply at the main manual shutoff
valve before installing or servicing the control.
Failure to shut off the gas supply can result in the
release of gas during installation or servicing, which
can lead to an explosion or fire, and may result in
severe personal injury or death.

!

WARNING: Risk of Explosion or Fire.
Do not install the control in an area that is exposed
to water (for example, dripping, spraying, rain). Do
not use the control if it has been exposed to water.
Exposure to water may cause malfunction and can
lead to an explosion or fire and may result in severe
personal injury or death.

IMPORTANT: This control is approved for use
with noise suppression (resistive) spark wires. If the
application has copper wire, it must be replaced.

IMPORTANT: Do not mount the control where
it can be exposed to direct infrared radiation from the
main burner or to temperatures in excess of the
maximum product temperature rating.

Replacement Instructions

Mark wires to existing control. Disconnect the wires
and remove the existing control.

The control is not position sensitive. It may be
mounted horizontally or vertically with two #6 sheet
metal or machine screws.

Wiring

!

WARNING: Risk of Explosion or Fire.
Locate all safety, limit, and operating controls in
series with the thermostat terminal (TH) on the
ignition control. Improper installation may cause gas
leaks, which can lead to an explosion or fire and
may result in severe personal injury or death.

Refer to Figure 2 and 3 for wiring diagrams. All wiring
should be in accordance with the National Electrical
Code (NEC) and all other local codes and regulations.

Check the voltage rating marked on the control and
make sure it is suited to the application. Use a Class 2
transformer capable of providing 24 VAC under
maximum load, including valves. A transformer having
excessive primary impedance due to poor coupling
affects the ignition potential.

Spark Cable

The cable must be noise suppression (resistive) type
rated for at least 15kV and must not be in continuous
contact with a metal surface. If a separate flame sense
probe is used, the sense wire should be separated
from the high voltage wire by a minimum of

6.35 mm (1/4 in.).

!

WARNING: Risk of Electric Shock.
Before applying power to the control, connect the
high voltage cable to the spark transformer terminal
and spark electrode (pilot burner assembly). Verify
the ground wire is attached to the pilot burner and
the control ground terminal strip. Failure to follow
this procedure can cause electric shock and may
result in severe personal injury or death.

Controls with universal flame sense are supplied with
a jumper wire between SENSE and INTERN terminals
and is ready for internal (one rod) flame sense. With
the jumper in, flame is sensed through the high voltage
spark wire. For external (two rod) flame sense, the
jumper must be removed and discarded and the sense
electrode is wired to the SENSE terminal.
