Directions for use

UÊAutomatic controls are safety devices and shall not be

opened. The manufacturer’s responsibility and guarantee
are invalid if the control is unduly opened.

UÊA regulation shutdown must occur every 24hours to

enable the unit to check its own efficiency (systems for
non permanent operation)

UÊConnect and disconnect the unit only after switching off

the power supply

UÊAvoid exposing the unit to dripping water

UÊVentilation and the lowest temperature ensures the

longest life of the control

Electrical Installation

UÊLive and Neutral should be connected correctly; a mistake

could cause a dangerous situation.

UÊBefore starting the system check cables carefully for

incorrect installation

UÊThe earth terminal of the control, the metal frame of the

burner and the earth on the mains supply must be well
connected

Operation

At every start, the control unit proceeds to a self-checking
of its own components. During the pre-purge or waiting
time (TW) the internal circuit makes a test of the flame signal
amplifier. Extraneous light or fault in the amplifier will result
in the simulation of a flame which will prevent the control
from starting.

At the end of the waiting or pre-purge time, the gas valve is
energised and the ignition device is operated. In this way, the
safety time (TS) begins.

If a flame is detected during the safety time, the ignition
device is inhibited and the gas valve remains energised.

If the control does not detect any flame signal during the
safety time, at the end of safety time (TS), the unit proceeds
to lockout and the gas valve and ignition device are switched
off.

If the established flame signal is lost, (during the safety time
or during operation thereafter) this will cause the ignition
device to be reactivated within 1 second.

If the burner does not light within 25 seconds of ignition
reactivation, the heater will enter failure lockout mode and
must be reset.

OPERATION DATA - FENWAL CONTROL BOX

The Series 35-60 is 24 VAC Microprocessor Based Direct
Spark Ignition Controls designed for use in all types of
heating applications. The control utilizes a microprocessor
to continually and safely monitor, analyze and control the
proper operation of the gas burner. The following operation
sequence is valid only where the components are installed
according to the manufacturers assembly and installation
instructions. Please do not modify the wiring configuration,
gas train or any other part of the heater assembly.

Application

The Fenwal electronic gas burner control system is suitable
for atmospheric gas burners for non-permanent operation.
The Fenwals configuration in the Tungsten Smart-Heat series
heaters limits it to volatile lockout, i.e. the restart from this
condition is possible by the interruption (for 5 seconds) and
subsequent restoration of the mains power supply.

Features:

UÊ24 VAC microprocessor based DSI control

UÊPressure switch monitoring

UÊSystem diagnostic LED

UÊAlarm output (normally closed contact)

UÊAutomatic reset 1 hour after lockout*

UÊCustom prepurge and interpurge timings**

UÊMultiple tries for ignition

UÊRemote or local flame sensing

UÊFlame sense test pins

Directions for use

Automatic controls are safety devices and shall not be
opened. The manufacturer’s responsibility and guarantee are
invalid if the control is unduly opened.

A regulation shutdown must occur every 24hours to
enable the unit to check its own efficiency (systems for non
permanent operation)

Connect and disconnect the unit only after switching off the
power supply

Avoid exposing the unit to dripping water

Ventilation and the lowest temperature ensures the longest
life of the control

Electrical Installation

UÊThe applicable state and local standards regarding

electrical safety must be respected.

UÊLive and Neutral should be connected correctly; a

mistake could cause a dangerous situation.

UÊBefore starting the system check cables carefully for

incorrect installation

UÊThe ground terminal of the control, the metal frame of

the burner and the ground on the mains supply must be
well connected

Operation

When a call for heat is received from the thermostat
supplying 24 volts to TH/W, the control will reset, perform a
self check routine, flash the diagnostic LED, and a pre-purge
delay begins. Following the pre-purge period the gas valve
is energized and sparks commence for the trial for ignition
period.

When flame is detected during the trial for ignition, sparks are
shutoff immediately and the gas valve remains energized. The
thermostat and main burner flame are constantly monitored
to assure the system continues to operate properly. When
the thermostat is satisfied and the demand for heat ends, the
main valve is de-energized immediately.

Should the main burner fail to light, or flame is not detected
during the trial for ignition period, the control will go into
lockout. The valve will be turned off immediately. Multi-try
Models will attempt two additional ignition trials before
going into lockout. The valve relay will be de-energized
immediately.

Recovery from lockout requires a manual reset by removing
24 volts from 24 VAC(R) for a period of 5 seconds. If there is
still a call for heat after one hour the control will automatically
reset and attempt to ignite the burner again.

If the established flame signal is lost the control will respond
within 0.8 seconds. The HV spark will be energized for a
trial ignition period in an attempt to relight the burner. If
the burner does not light the control will de-energize the
gas valve. Multi-try models will make two more attempts to
relight the burner. If the burner does not relight the control
will go into lock out as noted above. If flame is re-established,
normal operation resumes.
