Ignition Sources

• There are 3 different ways a burner can be ignited:

- 1) Standing Pilot Ignition

- 2) Intermittent Pilot Ignition Intermittent Pilot - S8610U

- 3) Direct Burner Ignition Hot Surface Ignition – S8910UDirect Spark Ignition – S87

Universal Intermittent Pilot Module

• What is the S8610U3009?- Provides electronic control of

intermittent pilot ignition systems used on gas fired furnaces, boilers, and other heating appliances

- It’s the brain of the ignition system Receives call for heat signal from the

thermostat Starts the spark ignition Opens the pilot valve Senses to see if the pilot is lit Opens the main burner Shuts things down at the end of the

call for heat Monitors damper as opened or closed,

if damper is attachedOne Part Number:

Call for HeatOn a call for heat, both the Pilot valve and the Ignition come on together.

Once the pilot is proved, the Ignition shuts off and the Main burner opens and remains open throughout the call for heat.

When the call for heat ends, both the Main burner and Pilot shut off together.

S8610U Features

• Universal Compatibility- Replaces more than 400

Honeywell and competitive models

• Application Flexibility- Works in single-rod and dual-

rod applications- Works with both natural and

LP gas• Quality Honeywell Control

- Provides electronic control for nearly any intermittent pilot ignition systems used on gas-fired furnaces, boilers and more

- Suitable for use with vent dampers

- Provides the ignition sequence, flame monitoring and 100% safety shutoff

• Enhanced Features- Single LED indicates flame

strength and gives diagnostic information

- Direct flame signal readout form the board

- Simplified error codes on label

8

The Benefits

• Feature• Field selectable operating

sequence can be customized

• Control locks to selected sequence on 20th “call for heat”

• LED communicates system status

• Integral damper connector

• Continuous retry ignition sequence

• Benefit• Allows for more options in the field:

- 0 or 30 second prepurge and- 15 or 90 second trial for ignition

• Assures selected sequence is retained permanently

• Green LED indicates status, error codes and pilot flame strength

• If senses use with a vent damper it locks the control, so damper must be used

• Provides 100% shutoff for both Natural and LP applications

9

Additional benefits

• Feature• Single-rod or dual-rod flame

sensor

• Terminal-to-terminal wiring instructions

• Flame sense terminal 3/16” male QC (virtually all 2-rod systems sold have the sense terminal as 3/16” QC)

• Spark cable adapter

• 2.0 A main valve load rating

• Benefit• Works in more applications

• Reduces wiring errors

• Prevents possible mis-wire of spark sense and potential for abnormal appliance light-off

• Includes adapter for rajah and nail type cable on existing systems; Simplified use

• Broader application; Fits more jobs

Installation

13

Installation of the S8610U

• Mount new ignition module - Do not mount with terminals facing up- protect the module from exposure to water, moisture, corrosive

chemicals and excessive dust and grease.

• Wire the module- Wire the module per the installation instructions- Verify the thermostat anticipator setting

14

Wiring continued

For systems with a vent damper connect the damper to P1

Once the vent damper connection is made, the control must be used with a vent damper.
