1 Application
Ignition transformers TZI and TGI are designed for
high-voltage spark ignition of gas burners and gasignited or directly ignited oil burners. The ignition
transformers can also be used on burners with singleelectrode operation; the ignition current and ionization
current flow over a common electrode. The ignition
transformer TZI must be mounted in a housing, e.g. in a
control cabinet. It fulfils the requirements for enclosure
IP 00. Ignition transformer TGI in its die-cast aluminium
housing meets the requirements for enclosure IP 54. It
is suitable for on-site mounting near to the burner.

5.1 Operation
The ignition transformers are suitable only for applica-
tions for igniting gas burners and gas-ignited or directly
ignited oil burners. An automatic burner control unit
with integrated fuse (max. 4 A) must be provided to
activate the ignition transformers. Do not operate the
transformers when no ignition sparks are created (distance between spark electrode and burner ground = 2 ±
0.5 mm). The duty cycle and the ambient temperature
must not exceed the permissible limits.
5.2 Installation
Installation position for TZI and TGI: install with the
connections facing down. Position the ignition trans-
former right next to the burner (recommended ignition
cable length: max. 5 m, recommended < 1 m).
TZI
The length of the mains cable is approx. 410 mm.
Fix the ignition transformer in a housing or control
cabinet.
5.3 Cable selection
Use mains cable suitable for the type of operation and
complying with local regulations.
Install an equipotential bond (4 mm
local regulations) between burner and ignition transformer.
TGI
The TGI housing has two A/F 27 cable glands with dou-
ble seal inserts for two cables up to 7 mm in diameter. A
seal insert for 10 to 14 mm is enclosed and can be used
in the A/F 27 cable gland, see page 14 (Dimensions).
5.3.1 Ignition cable
Use unscreened high-voltage cable for the ignition cable, see page 12 (Accessories). The ignition capacity
is lower when using a screened ignition cable.
Ignition cable length:
Recommended < 1 m, max. 5 m. The longer the ignition
cable, the lower the ignition capacity.
Use radio interference suppressed terminal boots only
on the burner (with 1 kΩ resistor), see page 12 (Accessories).

5.4 Reduction of EMC, wiring
Avoid external electrical interference.
Lay cables individually and, if possible, not in a metal
conduit.
Do not lay UV/ionization cable and ignition cables to-
gether and lay them as far apart as possible.
Screw the ignition cable securely into the high-voltage
connection on the ignition transformer and run to the
burner by the shortest possible route, see page 7
(High-voltage connection).
Use radio interference suppressed terminal boots only
on the burner (with 1 kΩ resistor), see page 12 (Accessories).
5.5 Single-electrode operation
Single-electrode operation is possible only in conjunction with suitable automatic burner control units.
For single-electrode operation, wire an equipotential
bond between the burner and the automatic burner
control unit, see page 7 (Ignition: single-electrode
operation). Ensure that the wiring has been done correctly, otherwise the connected units will be damaged.
5.6 Intermittent operation/Star electrodes
We recommend using 7.5 kV ignition transformers for
On/Off intermittent operation or when using burners
with star electrodes.

Ambient temperature [°C]
For ignition transformers, the duty cycle is dependent
on the ambient temperature.
TZI/TGI duty cycle in % – see page 13 (Technical
data).
Converting the duty cycle into seconds:
Example
Ignition transformer TZI 725/20W with a duty cycle of
20% for an ambient temperature of 20 to +35°C.
Duty cycle =
100%
= 36 s
In an ambient temperature of 20 to +35°C, this results
in a maximum duty cycle of 36 s within 180 s for the
ignition transformer.
For an automatic burner control unit with an ignition
time t
= 6 s, for example, the resultant timing cycle is a
Z
maximum of 2 ignitions per minute.
