PLANNING THE INSTALLATION
Intermittent pilot systems are used on a wide variety of
central heating equipment and on heating appliances such
as commercial cookers, agricultural equipment, industrial
heating equipment and pool heaters. Some of these applications may make heavy demands on the controls, either
because of frequent cycling, or because of moisture, corrosive chemicals, dust or excessive heat in the environment.
In these situations, special steps may be required to prevent nuisance shutdowns and premature control failure.
These applications require Honeywell Residential Division
Engineering review; contact your Honeywell Sales Representative for assistance.
FREQUENT CYCLING
These controls are designed for use on space heating
appliances that typically cycle 3 to 4 times an hour during
the heating season and not at all during the cooling season.
In an application with significantly greater cycling rates and
closer to year-round use, we recommend monthly checkout
because the controls may wear out more quickly.
WATER OR STEAM CLEANING
Once a module or gas control has been wet, it may
operate unreliably and must be replaced. If the appliance is

likely to be cleaned with water or steam, the controls and
associated wiring should be covered so water or steam flow
cannot reach them. The controls should be high enough
above the bottom of the cabinet so they will not be subject
to flooding or splashing during normal cleaning procedures.
If necessary, shield the controls to protect them from
splashing water. A NEMA 4 enclosure is recommended for
the ignition module; see the Electronic Ignition Service
Manual, form 70-6604.
HIGH HUMIDITY OR DRIPPING WATER
Over time, dripping water or high ambient humidity can
create unwanted electrical paths on the module circuit
board, causing the module to fail.
where water can drip on the controls.
In addition, high ambient humidity can cause the gas
control to corrode, and finally to fail.
Where the appliance may be installed in a humid atmosphere, make sure air circulation around the module and gas
control is adequate to prevent condensation. It’s also important to regularly check out the system. A NEMA 4
enclosure may be needed; see the Electronic Ignition
Service Manual, form 70-6604.

ignition starts again.
Ignition, wait, retry
repeats until pilot
lights or system is
shut down manually.
Corrosive chemicals can also attack the module and gas
control and eventually cause a failure. Where chemicals
may be used routinely for cleaning, make sure the cleaning
solution cannot reach the controls. Where chemicals are
likely to be suspended in air, as in some industrial and
agricultural applications, protect the ignition module from
exposure with a NEMA 4 enclosure; see the Electronic
Ignition Service Manual, form 70-6604.
DUST OR GREASE ACCUMULATION
Heavy accumulation of dust or grease may cause the
controls to malfunction. Where dust or grease may be a
problem, provide covers for the module and the gas control
that will limit environmental contamination. A NEMA 4
enclosure is recommended for the ignition module; see the
Electronic Ignition Service Manual, form 70-6604.
HEAT
The controls can be damaged by excessively high
temperatures. Make sure the maximum ambient temperature at the control locations will not exceed the rating of the
control. If the appliance normally operates at very high
temperatures, insulation, shielding, and air circulation may
be necessary to protect the controls. Proper insulation or
shielding should be provided by the appliance manufacturer; make sure adequate air circulation is maintained
when the appliance is installed.
INSTALLATION
WHEN INSTALLING THIS IGNITION SYSTEM…
1. Read these instructions carefully. Failure to follow
them could damage the components or cause a hazardous
condition.
2. Check the ratings given in the instructions and on the
components to make sure they are suitable for your application.
3. Installer must be a trained, experienced service technician.
4. After installation is complete, check out component
operation as provided in these instructions.
WARNING
FIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZARD.
CAN CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.
1. The ignition module can malfunction if it gets
wet, leading to accumulation of explosive gas.
• Never install where water can flood, drip or
condense on module.
• Never try to use a module that has been
wet—replace it.
2. Liquefied petroleum (LP) gas is heavier than
air and will not vent upward naturally.
• Do not light pilot or operate electric
switches, lights, or appliances until you are
sure the appliance area is free of gas.
1. Disconnect power supply before beginning wiring
to prevent electrical shock or equipment damage.
2. If a new gas control is to be installed, turn off gas
supply before starting installation. Conduct Gas
Leak Test according to gas control manufacturer’s instructions after the gas control is installed.
3. If module must be mounted near moisture or
water, provide suitable waterproof enclosure.
PERFORM PREINSTALLATION SAFETY INSPECTION
The preinstallation checks described in ANSI Standard
Z21.71 on page 19
module is installed. If a condition which could result in
unsafe operation is detected, the appliance should be shut
off and the owner advised of the unsafe condition. Any
potentially unsafe condition must be corrected before proceeding with the installation.
Maintenance Requirements in Severe Environments
Regular preventive maintenance is important in any
application, but especially so in commercial cooking, agricultural, and industrial applications because:
CAUTION
must
be done before the replacement
• In many such applications, particularly commercial
cooking, the equipment operates 100,000-200,000
cycles per year. Such heavy cycling can wear out the
gas control in one to two years. A normal forced air
furnace, for which the controls were originally intended, typically operates less than 20,000 cycles
per year.
• Exposure to water, dirt, chemicals, and heat can
damage the module or the gas control and shut down
the control system. A NEMA 4 enclosure can reduce
exposure to environmental contaminants. See Electronic Ignition Service Manual, form 70-6604.
The maintenance program should include regular check-
out of the system as outlined under Checkout, page 11.
WARNING
FIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZARD
MAY CAUSE PROPERTY DAMAGE, SEVERE
INJURY OR DEATH
Do not attempt to take the module apart or to clean
it. Improper reassembly and cleaning may cause
unreliable operation.
Maintenance frequency must be determined individually
for each application. Some considerations are:
•
Cycling frequency
than 20,000 times annually should be checked
monthly.
•
Intermittent use
should be checked before shutdown and again before the next use.
•
Consequence of unexpected shutdown
cost of an unexpected shutdown would be high, the
system should be checked more often.
•

environments can cause the controls to deteriorate
more rapidly, the system should be checked more
often.
Any control should be replaced if it does not perform
properly on checkout or troubleshooting. In addition, replace any module if it is wet or looks like it has ever been
wet. Protective enclosures as outlined under “Planning the
Installation” are recommended regardless of checkout frequency.
MOUNT IGNITION MODULE
Select a location close enough to the burner to allow a
short (3 ft. [0.9 m] max.), direct cable route to the igniter.
Ambient temperature at the module must be within the
range listed under APPLICATION, page 1. The module
must be protected from water, moisture, corrosive chemicals and excessive dust and grease.

Since these
We recommend mounting the module with the terminals
down to protect them from dripping water and dust. It can
also be mounted with the terminals on either side. DO NOT
MOUNT with terminals pointing up. Fasten securely with
four No. 6-32 machine or No. 8 sheetmetal screws.
MOUNT THE SYSTEM CONTROLS
Mount any required controls, such as the gas control,
spark igniter, flame sensor, thermostat, limit and transformer according to manufacturer’s instructions.
WIRE THE SYSTEM
CAUTION
1. Check the wiring diagram furnished by the appliance manufacturer, if available, for circuits differing from the wiring hookups shown. Carefully
follow any special instructions affecting the general procedures outlined below.
2. Disconnect the power supply before making wiring connections to prevent electrical shock or
equipment damage.
1. As shown in the wiring diagrams, a common
ground is required on:
a. The pilot burner mounting bracket, and
b. The GND(BURNER) terminal on the ignition
module. Failure to use the GND(BURNER) terminal may result in intermittent loss of spark and/or
loss of flame current sensitivity.
2. Make sure the transformer has adequate VA. The
ignition module requires at least 0.2 A at 24 Vac.
Add the current draws of all other devices in the
control circuit, including the pilot and main valves
in the gas control, and multiply by 24 to determine
the total VA requirement of these components.
Add this total to 4.8 VA (for the ignition module).
The result is the minimum transformer VA rating.
Use a Class II transformer if replacement is required.
Connect Ignition Cable
Use Honeywell ignition cable or construct an ignition
cable that conforms to suitable national standards such as
Underwriters Laboratories Inc. See Tables 2 and 3.

plug has powered a vent damper circuit, it cannot be used
in a gas system without a vent damper
fuse in the module blows on initial power-up. Once this fuse
has blown the module won’t work unless the vent damper
is connected.
To connect the plug-in model to D80D:
1. Remove the plug from the terminal strip on the ignition
module case and discard.
2. Using the wiring harness supplied, insert the matching
pin plug into receptacle on case and other end to vent

To connect the D80B, follow the wiring diagrams supplied with the vent damper or see Fig. 7 for typical connections.
Connect Ignition Module
1. Connect remaining system components to the ignition
module terminals as shown in the appropriate wiring diagram, Figs. 1 to 10.
• Fig. 1 is a basic circuit for a heating only atmospheric burner with S8600F,H,M; S8610F,H;
S8660D or S8670D.

• Figs. 5-10 show S8600F,H,M; S8610F,H; S8660D;
and S8670D in a variety of systems, with alternate
connections for modules with vent damper plug.
Remember, however, that a vent damper should
not be used in an fan-assisted combustion system
or an LP gas system and that the vent damper plug
must not be removed except to connect the module to a D80D with the plug-in cable. S8600A,B;
S8610A,B can be substituted in these drawings by
simply connecting the igniter and sensor as shown
in Figs. 3 and 4.
2. Refer to heating appliance manufacturer’s instruc-
tions for wiring auxiliary controls.
3. Adjust thermostat heat anticipator to match system
current draw. The current draw equals the total current
required for the ignition module (0.2 A) plus the gas control
and any other auxiliary equipment in the control circuit.

Ground Control System
The igniter, flame sensor and ignition module must
share a common ground with the main burner. Use thermoplastic insulated wire with a minimum rating of 105° C [221°

2. Strip the other end of the wire and fasten it under the
igniter bracket mounting screw. If necessary, use a shield
to protect the ground wire from radiant heat.
3. The burner serves as the common grounding area. If
there is not good metal-to-metal contact between the burner
and ground, run a lead from the burner to ground.
NOTE: “Earth” ground is not required.
REPLACING MODULE WITH TH-R, TH-W TERMINALS
On modules that do not have a vent damper plug, the
thermostat must be connected between the transformer
and the 24V terminal on the module. To change out a
module with TH-R, TH-W terminals:
1. Remove the wires from the 25V(2) and TH-R terminals on the old module. Connect these two wires with a
solderless connector.
2. Tag and remove the remaining wires from the old
module.
3. Remove the old module and mount the new one in the
same location.
4. Reconnect the remaining wires as shown in Table 4.
5. Increase the thermostat anticipator setting by 0.2 A.

CHECKOUT
Check out the gas control system:
• At initial installation of the appliance.
• As part of regular maintenance procedures. Mainte-
nance intervals are determined by the application.
See PLANNING THE INSTALLATION, page 1, for
more information.
• As the first step in troubleshooting.
• Any time work is done on the system.
WARNING
FAILURE TO HEED THESE WARNINGS MAY
CAUSE FIRE OR EXPLOSION WITH PROPERTY
DAMAGE, INJURY, OR LOSS OF LIFE.
1. If you smell gas or suspect a gas leak, turn off
gas at manual service valve and evacuate the
building. Do not try to light any appliance, do
not touch any electrical switch or telephone in
the building until you are sure no spilled gas
remains.
2. Gas leak test must be done as described in
Steps 1 and 5 below on initial installation and
any time work is done involving the gas piping.
STEP 1: Perform Visual Inspection.
❏ With power off, make sure all wiring connections are
clean and tight.
❏ Turn on power to appliance and ignition module.
❏ Open manual shutoff valves in the gas line to the
appliance.
❏ Do gas leak test ahead of gas control if piping has been
disturbed.
GAS LEAK TEST: Paint pipe joints with rich soap and water
solution. Bubbles indicate gas leak. Tighten joints to stop
leak. Recheck with soap and water.
STEP 2: Review Normal Operating Sequence and Module
Specifications.
❏ See OPERATION, page 12, and APPLICATION,
page 1.
STEP 3: Reset the Module.
❏ Turn the thermostat to its lowest setting.
❏ Wait one minute.
As you do Steps 4 and 5, watch for points where operation
deviates from normal. Refer to Troubleshooting Chart to
correct problem.
STEP 4: Check Safety Shutoff Operation.
This step applies to lockout and continuous retry modules
only.
❏ Turn gas supply off.
❏ Set thermostat or controller above room temperature to
call for heat.
❏ Watch for spark at pilot burner either immediately or
following prepurge. See device label.
❏ Time spark from start to shutoff. See device label.
On S8600M, wait 6 min. nom. Ignition sequence should
start again followed by shutoff after 90 sec. max.
❏ Open manual gas cock and make sure no gas is flowing
to pilot or main burner.
❏ Set thermostat below room temperature and wait one
minute before continuing.
STEP 5: Check Normal Operation.
❏ Set thermostat or controller above room temperature to
1169-0463
call for heat.
❏ Make sure pilot lights smoothly when gas reaches the
pilot burner.
❏ Make sure main burner lights smoothly without flash-
back.
❏ Make sure burner operates smoothly without floating,
lifting, or flame rollout to the furnace vestibule or heat
buildup in the vestibule.
OPERATION
Module operation can be conveniently divided into two
phases for S8600, S8610 and three for S8660, S8670. The
phases are
• Prepurge (S8660, S8670 only)
• Trial for ignition (all models)
• Main burner operation (all models)
Figs. 11 and 12 summarize the normal operating sequences of the modules.

THERMOSTAT (CONTROLLER)
CALLS FOR HEAT
❏ If gas line has been disturbed, complete gas leak test.
GAS LEAK TEST: Paint gas control gasket edges and all
pipe connections downstream of gas control, including pilot
tubing connections, with rich soap and water solution.
Bubbles indicate gas leaks. Tighten joints and screws or
replace component to stop gas leak. Recheck with soap
and water.
❏ Turn thermostat or controller below room temperature.
Make sure main burner and pilot flames go out.
PREPURGE (S8660,S8670 ONLY)
When the S8660 is used in a fan-assisted combustion
system, the combustion air blower starts on a call for heat.
On proof of airflow, the air proving switch closes and
energizes the S8660, S8670. When the module is used in
an atmospheric system, the call for heat energizes the
module.
In either case, the module first initiates a 45 sec. delay
to allow system prepurge. After prepurge, the module starts
the pilot ignition sequence.

TRIAL FOR IGNITION
Pilot Ignition
Following prepurge timing (S8660, S8670), or on the call
for heat (S8600, S8610), the module energizes the first
main valve operator. The first main valve opens, which
allows gas to flow to the pilot burner. At the same time, the
electronic spark generator in the module produces an over
10,000 volt spark pulse output. The voltage generates a
spark at the igniter (S8600A,B; S8610A,B) or igniter-sensor
(S8600F,H,M; S8610F,H; S8660; S8670) that lights the
pilot.
If the pilot does not light, or the pilot flame current is not
at least 1.0 µA and steady, the module will not energize the
second (main) valve and the main burner will not light.
S8600A,F; S8610A,F will continue to spark as long as the
thermostat calls for heat, or until the pilot lights.
These modules provide 100 percent shutoff and safety
lockout. A timer in these models starts timing the moment
the trial for ignition starts. Ignition spark continues only until
the timed trial for ignition period ends. Then the module
goes into safety lockout. Lockout de-energizes the first
main valve operator and closes the first main (pilot) valve in
the gas control, stopping pilot gas flow. The control system
must be reset by setting the thermostat below room tem-
perature for one minute or by turning off power to the
module for one minute.
Safety Shutoff with Continuous Retry (S8600M)
The S8600M provides 100 percent gas shutoff, followed
by retry for ignition. Operation on ignition failure is the same
as lockout modules, except that a timer starts timing immediately following shutoff. Six minutes nom. (five minutes
min.) after shutoff, the module restarts the ignition sequence. The ignition trial, shutoff, wait sequence continues
until either the pilot lights or the thermostat is set below
room temperature to end the call for heat. The module can
also be reset by setting down the thermostat for one minute.
MAIN BURNER OPERATION
When the pilot flame is established, a flame rectification
circuit is completed between the sensor and burner ground.
The flame sensing circuit in the module detects the flame
current, shuts off the spark generator and energizes the
second main valve operator. The second main valve opens
and gas flows to the main burner, where it is ignited by the
pilot burner. On lockout models, the flame current also
holds the safety lockout timer in the reset (normal) operating condition.
When the call for heat ends, both valve operators are deenergized, and both valves in the gas control close.

TROUBLESHOOTING
1. The following service procedures are provided as
a general guide. Follow appliance manufacturer’s
service instructions if available.
2. On lockout and retry models, meter readings
between gas control and ignition module must be
taken within the trial for ignition period. Once the
ignition module shuts off, lockout models must be
reset by setting the thermostat down for at least
one minute before continuing. On retry models,
wait for retry or reset at the thermostat.
3. If any component does not function properly,
make sure it is correctly installed and wired before
replacing it.
4. The ignition module cannot be repaired. If it malfunctions, it must be replaced.
5. Only trained, experienced service technicians
should service intermittent pilot systems.
Perform the checkout on page 11 as the first step in
troubleshooting. Then check the appropriate troubleshooting guide (Fig. 14 or 15) and the schematic diagram (Figs.
16-17) to pinpoint the cause of the problem. If troubleshooting indicates an ignition problem, see Ignition System
Checks below to isolate and correct the problem.
Following troubleshooting, perform the checkout procedure (page 11) again to be sure system is operating
normally.
IGNITION SYSTEM CHECKS
STEP 1: Check ignition cable.
Make sure:
❏ Ignition cable does not run in contact with any metal
surfaces.
❏ Ignition cable is no more than 36 in. [0.9 m] long.
❏ Connections to the ignition module and to the igniter or
igniter-sensor are clean and tight.
❏ Ignition cable provides good electrical continuity.
STEP 2: Check ignition system grounding.
downs are often caused by a poor or erratic ground.
❏ A common ground, usually supplied by the pilot burner
bracket, is required for the module and the pilot burner/
igniter-sensor.
• Check for good metal-to-metal contact between the
pilot burner bracket and the main burner.
• Check the ground lead from the GND(BURNER)
terminal on the module to the pilot burner. Make sure
connections are clean and tight. If the wire is damaged or deteriorated, replace it with No. 14-18 gauge,
moisture-resistant, thermoplastic insulated wire with
105° C [221° F] minimum rating.
— Check the ceramic flame rod insulator for cracks
or evidence of exposure to extreme heat, which
can permit leakage to ground. Replace pilot burner/
igniter-sensor and provide shield if necessary.
— If flame rod or bracket are bent out of position,
restore to correct position.
STEP 3: Check spark ignition circuit.

WARNING
When performing the following steps, do not touch
stripped end of jumper or SPARK terminal. The
ignition circuit generates over 10,000 volts and
electrical shock can result.
❏ Energize the module and immediately touch one end of
the jumper firmly to the GND terminal on the module. Move
the free end of the jumper slowly toward the SPARK
terminal until a spark is established.
❏ Pull the jumper slowly away from the terminal and note
the length of the gap when sparking stops. Check table
below.

ANSI STANDARDS
RECOMMENDED PROCEDURE FOR SAFETY INSPECTION OF AN EXISTING
APPLIANCE INSTALLATION AS A PRELIMINARY STEP TO APPLYING
The following procedure is intended as a guide to aid
in determining that an appliance is properly installed and
is in a safe condition for continuing use.
This procedure is predicated on central furnace and
boiler installations equipped with an atmospheric gas
burner(s) and not of the direct vent type. It should be
recognized that generalized test procedures cannot
anticipate all situations. Accordingly, in some cases,
deviation from this procedure may be necessary to
determine safe operation of the equipment.
a. This procedure should be performed prior to any
attempt at modification of the appliance or the instal-
lation.
b. If it is determined there is a condition which could
result in unsafe operation, the appliance should be
shut off and the owner advised of the unsafe condi-
tion.
The following steps should be followed in making the
safety inspection:
1. Conduct a Gas Leakage Test of the appliance
piping and control system downstream of the shutoff
valve in the supply line to the appliance.
2. Visually inspect the venting system for proper size
and horizontal pitch and determine there is no blockage
or restrictions, leakage or corrosion or other deficiencies
which could cause an unsafe condition.
3. Shut off all gas to the appliance and shut off any
other fuel-burning appliance within the same room. Use
the shutoff valve in the shutoff valve in the supply line to
each appliance.
4. Inspect burners and crossovers for blockage and
corrosion.
5. Applicable only to warm air heating appliances.
Inspect heat exchangers for cracks, openings or excessive corrosion.
6. Applicable only to boilers. Inspect for evidence of
water or combustion product leaks.
7. Insofar as is practical, close all building doors and
windows and all doors between the space in which the
appliance is located and other spaces of the building.
Turn on clothes dryers. Turn on any exhaust fans, such
as range hoods and bathroom exhausts, so they will
AN AUTOMATIC INTERMITTENT PILOT SYSTEM

operate at maximum speed. Do not operate a summer
exhaust fan. Close fireplace dampers. If, after completing steps 7 through 12, it is believed sufficient combustion air is not available, refer to 1.3.4 of the National Fuel
Gas Code (Z223.1) for guidance.
8. Place in operation the appliance being inspected.
Follow the lighting instructions. Adjust thermostat so
appliance will operate continuously.
9. a. Determine that the pilot is burning properly and
that main burner ignition is satisfactory by interrupting and re-establishing the electrical supply to
the appliance in any convenient manner.
b. Determine manifold pressure in order to match
input after the new control is installed.
a.Visually determine that main burner gas is burning properly; i.e., no floating, lifting or flashback.
Adjust the primary air shutter(s) as required.
b.If appliance is equipped with high and low flame
control or flame modulation, check for proper main
burner operation at low flame.
11. Test for spillage at the draft hood relief opening
after 5 minutes of main burner operation. Use a draft
gauge, the flame of a match or candle, or smoke from a
cigarette, cigar or pipe.
12. Return doors, windows, exhaust fans, fireplace
dampers and all other fuel-burning appliances to their
previous conditions of use.
13. Applicable only to warm air heating appliances.
Check both limit controller and fan controller for proper
operation. Limit controller operation can be checked by
temporarily disconnecting the electrical supply to the
blower motor and determining that the limit control acts
to shut off the main burner gas.
14. Applicable only to boilers:
a. Determine that the circulating water pumps are
in operating condition.
b. Test low water cutoffs, automatic feed controls, pressure and temperature limit controls and
relief valves in accordance with the
manufacturer’s recommendations and instructions to determine they are in operating condition.
EXHIBIT A OF ANSI STANDARD Z21.71 FOR AUTOMATIC INTERMITTENT PILOT IGNITION SYSTEMS FOR FIELD
INSTALLATION
1969-0463
EXHIBIT B
PROCEDURE FOR INSTALLING AUTOMATIC INTERMITTENT PILOT SYSTEMS
Prior to beginning this procedure, a preliminary examination of the appliance and the automatic intermittent pilot system should be made to determine that the
automatic intermittent pilot system can be properly
applied to the appliance.
This procedure is intended as a guide to aid in safely
installing a listed automatic intermittent pilot system on
an existing listed appliance equipped with an atmospheric gas burner(s) and not of the direct vent type.
This procedure is based on the assumption that the
history of the specific installation has been one of safe
and satisfactory operation.
This procedure is predicated on central furnace and
boiler installations, and it should be recognized that
generalized procedures cannot anticipate all situations.
Accordingly, in some cases, deviation from this procedure may be necessary to determine safe operation of
the equipment.
The following steps should be followed in making the
modifications:
1. Perform a safety inspection of the existing appliance installation. See Exhibit A for a recommended
procedure for such a safety inspection.
2. Shut off all gas and electricity to the appliance. To
shut off gas, use the shutoff valve in the supply line to the
appliance. Do not use the shutoff valve which is provided as part of a combination control.
3. Install the automatic intermittent pilot system in
strict accordance with the manufacturer’s installation
instructions.
4. Turn on all gas and electricity to the appliance.
5. Determine that the appliance transformer has
adequate capacity by following the steps outlined below:
a. Compute the approximate current draw by adding
the current draw of the automatic intermittent pilot
system to (1) the current draw of the associated
valving, and (2) the current draw of any relays or
other devices operated by the transformer.
b. Multiply the total current draw as computed above
by 24 V to determine the total VA (volt-ampere)
required.
c. The total VA (volt-ampere) required should be
equal to or less than the VA rating of the transformer.
d. If the total VA (volt-ampere) required is greater
than the VA rating of the transformer, the transformer
must be replaced with a Class 2 transformer of
adequate rating.
6. Check the heat anticipator in the comfort thermostat to determine if it is properly adjusted to the current
draw of the control system. Follow the thermostat
manufacturer’s instructions.
EXHIBIT B OF ANSI STANDARD Z21.71 FOR AUTOMATIC INTERMITTENT PILOT IGNITION SYSTEMS FOR FIELD
INSTALLATION.
7. Make certain wiring connections are tight and
wires are positioned and secured so they will not be able
to contact high temperature locations.
8. Conduct a Gas Leakage Test of the appliance
piping and control system downstream of the shutoff
valve in the supply line to the appliance.
9. a. Adjust the thermostat to its highest tempera-
ture setting, and test manifold pressure and adjust
the pressure regulator to match original input as
required (refer to Exhibit A, step 9b).
b. Visually determine that main burner is burning
properly; i.e., no floating, lifting or flashback. Adjust the primary air shutter(s) as required.
10. If the appliance is equipped with high and low
flame control or flame modulation, check for proper main
burner operation at both high and low flame.
11. Determine that the pilot is igniting and burning
properly and that main burner ignition is satisfactory by
interrupting and re-establishing the electrical supply to
the appliance in any convenient manner. Make this
determination with the appliance burner both cold and
hot. Perform this step as many times as is necessary to
satisfy yourself that the automatic intermittent pilot system is operating properly.
12. Test the pilot safety device (1) to determine if it is
operating properly, and (2) for turndown characteristics
according to the manufacturer’s installation instructions.
No adjustments should be made other than those recommended by the system manufacturer.
13. Sequence the appliance through at least three
operating cycles.
14. Applicable only to furnaces. Check both the limit
controller and the fan controller for proper operation.
Limit control operation can be checked by blocking the
circulating air inlet or temporarily disconnecting the
electrical supply to the blower motor and determining
that the limit controller acts to shut off the main burner
gas.
15. Applicable only to boilers.
a. Determine that the circulating water pumps are
in operating condition.
b. Test low water cutoffs, automatic feed water
controls, pressure and temperature limit controllers and relief valves in accordance with the
manufacturer’s recommendation to determine
they are in operating condition.
16. Add the labels (see 1.6.1-n and -o) on the appliance.
