FAILURE TO READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE INSTALLING OR OPERATING THIS CONTROL COULD CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.

DESCRIPTION

The All-Spark™  50D50U-843 is a non-integrated 24V single-stage spark ignition module. This module is designed to replace either  24V Intermittent Pilot (IP) or 24V Direct park Ignition (DSI) applications.

INSTALLATION

MOUNTING AND WIRING DIAGRAM

  1. If using White-Rodgers Connect to configure, connect to the app and configure the settings of the new module before installation. If not using the app to configure, skip this step.

  2. Disconnect the electrical power and gas supply to the unit, then remove the unit access panels.

  3. Individually disconnect and transfer each wire from the existing module and connect to the appropriate QC terminal on the 50D50U-843 11-pin harness or dedicated spade terminals on the 50D50U-843 module. Once all wires have been transferred, remove the existing module. TIP: first take pictures of the old setup for reference.
    • Strip and re-wire the 11-pin harness with provided
    NOTE: All wiring should be installed according to local and national electrical codes and ordinances 3/16” loose QC terminals if necessary

  4. 50D50U-843 can be mounted in any orientation. Select a location that will not damage, obstruct or place any stress on the terminations or harness. Ensure clearance of  ¼” between the sides of the module and grounded metal.

  5. Mount 50D50U-843 in the unit using the mounting holes noted below. Be certain not to damage any components such as transformers, wire harnesses, es or blower wheels when drilling or installing screws.

  6. Take note and match the old control’s damper plug and flame-sensing operation with the new 50D50U-843.
    • Example: if the old module had a damper plug and remote flame sensor installed, keep the damper plug installed on 50D50U-843 and remove the jumper wire for remote flame sense.

  7. Plug an 11-pin harness with wires transferred from the old module to the new 50D50U-843. Ensure all wires are secured to the harness.

  8. Reconnect electric power to the unit.

  9. If not using White-Rodgers Connect to configure, use 7-segment LED Display to change settings to match the old module. See page 2 on how to enter and operate the configuration menu and page 3 for an explanation of settings.

  10. Install Fault Code Label in a viewable location.

  11. Reinstall unit access panels and reconnect the gas supply to the unit.

  12. Verify unit is operating correctly per the configuration selected.

Other Setup Notes:

  • Keep vent damper jumper plug installed on 50D50U-843 if the replaced module has it installed
  •  When installing 50D50U-843 with this setup, leave the 24V terminal on 50D50U-843 unconnected and insulated (module will receive power from TH-W)
  • To use a module with a vent damper, remove the vent damper jumper plug and connect the damper harness assembly to the vent damper connector on 50D50U-843
  • Once 50D50U-843 receives power with a vent damper connected, an internal circuit will open (non-reversible; the module with the jumper plug will no longer work)
  • If there is no TH-W terminal on the replaced module, connect the wire from the 24V or 25V (2) terminal on the old module to TH-W on the new 50D50U-843 and leave 24V  on 50D50U-843 unconnected and insulated
  • For systems with air proving switch (APS), connect the output of APS to TH-W on 50D50U-843
  • If default settings are not being used on replaced S8610U, match the correct settings to 50D50U-843 through White-Rodgers Connect App or 7-segment Configuration Menu
  • Follow all safety guidelines on page 1 and directions under MOUNTING AND WIRING DIAGRAM on page 4

To Configure Module:

  1. Determine the configuration and timings for the module being replaced. Can be found in the manufacturer literature or label on the module.
  2. Use White-Rodgers Connect OR 7-segment LED and follow Table 1 to select the proper settings.

Other Setup Notes:

  • If the module being replaced does not have a terminal shown in the diagram above, leave that wire in the 50D50U-843 11-pin harness unconnected and insulated to prevent the possibility of a short-circuit
    ○ For example, the 35-60 DSI series does not have 24VAC/R, so leave the 24V wire on 50D50U-843 un-used when replacing any module in the 35-60 DSI series

  • Follow all safety guidelines on page 1 and directions under MOUNTING AND WIRING DIAGRAM on page 4

DSI Edge Card Models

White Rodgers 50D50U 843 24V Non Integrated Spark Ignition Module
fig7

These models have a unique edge card harness in the OEM unit wiring. To connect 50D50U-843, cut each individual wire from the edge card harness, attach the ¼” QC spade terminal and connect directly to the 11-pin harness.

Additional Wiring Scenarios For Modules With a Rollout Switch

For modules that have a separate rollout switch terminal, take the wire connected to the rollout switch on the old ignition module and plug it into the TH-W terminal on the  50D50U-843 11pin harness.
The old ignition module is being replaced

New 50D50U-843 ignition module

All-Spark™  50D50U-843 has been designed with a new integrated thermostat feature that allows the module to create its own call for heat without using an external thermostat in the system. This feature requires a dedicated 24V path wired to the 50D50U-843 ignition module (24V terminal on an 11-pin harness). This feature is only designed for radiant, infrared, and tube heat applications. Refer to the diagram on the right to properly wire all safety switches in the system. Steps to use the integrated thermostat feature are listed below:

  1. Purchase White-Rodgers Integrated Thermostat Sensor F67-8535

  2. Connect the sensor to AirT connector input on the All-Spark board

  3. Secure the sensor in the desired heating location of the space

  4. Configure Integrated Thermostat settings through White-Rodgers Connect App or 7-segment LED Display (see Table 1 on page 3)

  5. Connect W Out Terminal to the input of the safety chain

  6. Connect Safety chain output to TH-W on an 11-pin harness

  7.  Connect power to the ignition module
    a. Note: if using a 7-segment LED Display to configure, 24V power must first be connected to the module. Follow  all safety guidelines outlined on page 1 and wiring  instructions explained under MOUNTING AND WIRING DIAGRAM on page 4

  8. Connect gas and ensure the unit is heating correctly

Integrated Thermostat Feature
For radiant, infrared and tube heater applications only

IMPORTANT: Connect W Out on the 50D50U-843 module to the input of safety switches (limit, rollout, etc.) and connect the output of safety switches to TH-W on 50D50U-843
How To View and Change Temperature Set Point (TSP):

Temperature Range: 40 – 80 °F (68 °F is default) or 5 – 27 °C (20 °C is default)
(Set Point – Offset) can’t be less than 40 °F (5 °C) or greater than 80 °F (27 °C)

Action Module Status Button Press Duration
Enter TSP Menu Integrated T-STAT ON , Standby OPTION < 3 seconds
Advance TSP 1 degree TSP Menu SELECT < 3 seconds
Retreat TSP 1 degree TSP Menu OPTION < 3 seconds
Confirm TSP selection TSP Menu SELECT > 3 seconds
Enter Configuration Menu Integrated T-STAT ON , Standby OPTION > 3

seconds

CSF will display after 3 seconds

Integrated Thermostat Offset:

  • Offset is most applicable when the sensor is unable to be placed in the desired heating location
  • When the sensor is in a location warmer than desired, use the negative offset (if the sensor is in a location colder than desired, use the positive offset)
    ◦ Example: set point = 65 °F, actual
    temperature of desired location = 63 °F,
    sensor reading = 68 °F, use an offset of -5 °F
