S8700 Direct Spark Ignition Controls are designed for
use in a wide range of gas-fired appliance applicat ion s
that require direct main burner ignition and flame safety
control of gas burners. The S8700 is used to ignite the
main burner, sense the flame and control the gas valve.
See Table 1 for the model that best meets your
application needs.
The S8700B,E,J,L models provide sin gle r od flame
sensing (i.e., the spark rod also acts as the flame sense
rod). The S8700D,F,K,M models provide dual rod flame
sensing (i.e., the spark rod and flame rod are separate).
The S8700J,K,L,M models provide 30-second minimum
time delay between application of 24V power to the
control and initiation of the trial for ignition period for
applications that require prepurge. Al l m odel s have an
LED status indicator.

PLANNING THE INSTALLATION
WARNING
Fire or Explosion Hazard.
Gas leaks can cause property da m age,
severe injury or death.
Follow these warnings exactly:
Plan the installation using the following out li ne.
Plan for frequent maintenance as described in
the Maintenance section.
Review the following conditions that apply to your
specific installation and take the precautionar y step s
suggested.
The S8700 is designed to cycle three to four times each
hour during the heating season. Year-round applications and applications with more frequent cycling ra tes
can wear out the controls more quickly than normal
operation. Perform monthly system checks to make
sure the system operates properly.
Water or Steam Cleaning
If a control gets wet, replace it. If the appliance is likely
to be cleaned with water or steam, cover the control and
wiring to protect them from water or steam flow. Mount
the control high enough above the floor so it does not
get wet during normal cleaning procedures.
High Humidity or Dripping Water
Dripping water can cause the control to fail. Never
install an appliance where water can drip on the control.
In addition, high ambient humidity can cause the control
to corrode and fail. If the appliance is in a humid atmosphere, make sure air circulation around the control is
adequate to prevent condensation. Also, regul ar ly
check out the system.
IMPORTANT
Always install a splash cover to protect the
control from water damage.
Corrosive Chemicals
Corrosive chemicals can attack the control, eventual ly
causing a failure. If chemicals are used for routine
cleaning, avoid contact with the control. Where
chemicals are suspended in air, as in some industrial or
agricultural applications, protect the con trol with an
enclosure.
Dust or Grease Accumulation
Heavy accumulations of dust or grease can cause the
control to malfunction. Where dust or grease can be a
problem, provide covers for the control to limit
contamination.

Wiring the S8700 Control
Connect the system components to the S8700
1.
terminals as shown in the wiring diagrams, Fig. 2
and 3. Refer to the heating appliance manufacturer’s instructions for wiring any other auxiliar y
controls.
Adjust the temperature control heat anticipato r (if
2.
provided) to match the system current draw. The
current draw equals the total current requir ed for
the S8700 (0.15A) plus the gas valve and all other
24V control loads (vent dampers, and pre pur ge
relays). Gas valve must be designed for the DSI
application.
NOTE: NOTE: Use only recommended igni tion cable
(see Table 2), or equivalent, to connect the
S8700 with the spark igniter. Cable must not
run in continuous contact with a metal surface
or spark voltage is greatly reduced; use
ceramic standoff brackets if necessary. Cable
length must not exceed 6 ft (1.8m).

NOTE: NOTE: Proper system operation requires that
the S8700 GND (Burner) terminal is wired to
be electrically common with the spark
electrode bracket, flame sensor bracket (if a
separate flame sensor is used) and the main
burner. In many applications, this is
accomplished through connecting the S8 700
GND (Burner) terminal to the appliance
chassis, as the other noted components are
presumed to be electrically common with the
appliance chassis. If flam e sensing problems
are noted, it may be due to corroded or loose
electrical connections between the noted
components and the appliance chassis.

STARTUP
The following start-up procedures are basic to all S8700
controls. If this is a replacement application, refer to the
specific instructions provided by the heating appliance
manufacturer, if available. Also, since the auxiliary
controls used on any DSI system can differ, refer to the
manufacturer’s instructions for start-up and checkout
procedures for other system components.
NOTE: If the S8700 does not perform as outlined in
the following Start System and Check Trial for
Ignition steps, refer to the Service section to
determine the cause.
Gas Leak Test
If the gas control has been replaced as a part of the S8700
installation, perform the following test for gas leaks.
WARNING
Explosion or Fire Hazard.
Gas Leaks can cause property dam age,
severe injury or death.
To avoid possible explosion or fire, perform the
Gas Leak Test.
With the main burner in operation, paint the pipe joint s
and valve gasket with a rich soap and water solution.
Bubbles indicate a gas leak. To stop a leak, tighten the
joints and screws. Never use a flame to check for gas
leaks.
Start System
Turn on the power and the gas supply.
1.
Set the temperature control to call for heat and
2.
watch for a spark at the igniter (S8700B,D,E,F
models have no delay on start-up; S8700J,K,L,M
models have a predetermined delay on start- up
for prepurge).Check that the system starts as
follows: Prepurge delay (if provided), spark turns
on, gas valve opens at once and burner ignites
after gas reaches the main burner. Once the
burner flame is established, spark igniter cuts off.
NOTE: NOTE: If the gas control has been replaced or
serviced, lightoff may not be satisfactory until
air has been purged from the gas line or the
gas input and combustion air have been
adjusted (see manufacturer’s instru ctions).
