Ignition Control Operation
Power Up
After 24 VAC is applied to the ignition control pins 24V and GND, the
Diagnostic LED on the ignition control will turn orange/yellow. If a fault is
detected the ignition control will enter Lockout Mode. If no faults are
detected, the Diagnostic LED will turn Green and the ignition control will
enter Standby Mode.
Standby Mode
While in Standby Mode, the ignition control will continually monitor the
system for faults. Once 24VAC is applied to terminals TH and GND on the
control, the ignition control will enter Start Up Mode.
Start Up Mode
During Start Up Mode, the ignition control will monitor the system for faults
and begin the ignition sequence. If no faults are present, the ignition
control will begin the ignition sequence by entering an 18 second waiting
period. During this time the Green LED on the ignition control will switch
between Red and Green, before maintaining a Green color.
After the waiting period, the ignition control will turn on the igniter and gas valve. The igniter will remain on until a flame is sensed, or up to 10 seconds.
Once a flame has been sensed the ignition control will stop sparking, the gas valve will remain on and ignition control will enter Run Mode.
If a flame is not sensed, the ignition control will then begin two additional retrials for ignition. The ignition control will re-enter the 18 seconds waiting period before the ignition control makes another attempt at ignition. If the three attempts at ignition fail, the ignition control will enter Lockout Mode.
Run Mode
While in Run Mode the ignition control leaves the gas valve on, monitors the
flame signal, and leaves the igniter off.
If a flame signal is lost during Run Mode, one0additional retrial for ignition will take place within one second. The ignition control will restore the spark for approximately 10 seconds. If the ignition re-attempt fails, the ignition control will enter Lockout Mode.
The ignition control will remain in Run Mode until 24VAC is removed from terminals TH and GND on the control.
Termination of Flame
The flame will go out when power is removed from ignition control. The
ignition control will turn off the gas valve and enter Standby Mode.
Lockout Mode
When Lockout Mode is entered, the ignition control will remove power to the
gas valve, the igniter will turn off, the Lockout/Reset Light will turn on,
and the Diagnostic LED will display the appropriate Error Code.
Lockout Manual Reset
Lockout Mode is cleared by pressing an external reset switch for three
seconds. The ignition control will clear all error codes and enter Standby
Mode. During Lockout Manual Reset, the Diagnostic LED on the ignition control
flashes red and orange, and the Reset Light remains on until the ignition
control is reset. After the Reset Light turns off, stop pressing the switch.
Holding the reset for three seconds after lockout has been cleared will cause
a fault and result in entering Lockout Mode again.
System Tests
The following system tests are performed during normal operation. System tests
are performed at a minimum of every 24 hours.
Low Voltage Detection
If the voltage between terminals TH and GND on the control is below 18.75VAC +/- 0.75VAC for more than 3 seconds the ignition control will turn off the gas valve and will not attempt to spark. The Diagnostic LED will display Error Code 5. The ignition control will not enter Lockout Mode if a low voltage condition is detected, but will enter Standby Mode and wait for the low voltage condition to be cleared.
If the voltage between terminals TH and GND on the control rises above 19.75VAC +/- 0.1VAC for at least 3 seconds, the ignition control will then enter Start Up Mode.
Low Voltage Detection test is disabled during Run Mode.
Gas Valve
The ignition control verifies that the gas valve is connected. Failure of this
test results in the ignition control entering Lockout Mode with the Diagnostic
LED displaying Error Code 2.
Flame Probe Tests
Unexpected Presence of Flame
The Unexpected Presence of Flame test is performed when no flame is expected.
Failure of this test results in the ignition control entering Lockout Mode
with the Diagnostic LED displaying Error Code 3.
Flame Monitoring
During the Flame Monitoring test, the flame is checked to ensure the gas is being burned when the gas valve is on. Failure of this test will result in the ignition control entering Lockout Mode with the Diagnostic LED displaying Error Code 3.
Diagnostic LED (DGN LED) / Error Codes
The Diagnostic LED or DGN LED is located by the power connector on the
ignition control. Refer to Figure 8.
The Diagnostic LED will indicate the status of the ignition control. Refer
to Table 1.
| LED Color | Description |
|---|---|
| Orange-Yellow | Initialization |
| Green | Standby / Normal Operation |
| Red | Fault Indication Code |
The Diagnostic LED will flash error codes one half second on and one half second off. Error codes are separated by a one second pause before the code is repeated.
| Error Code | DGN LED status | Fault Type |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Red | Ignition Control Internal Failure |
| 2 | 2 Red Flashes | Gas Valve Not Connected |
| 3 | 3 Red Flashes | Ignition/Flame Sense Failure |

WARNING
To reduce the risk of serious injury, do not open the lint panel while the tumbler is in operation. Before cleaning the lint screen, open tumbler door and allow cylinder to completely stop.
a. Open the lint panel.
b. Remove all accumulated lint in the lint compartment area. Lightly
brush any lint that may be left on the lint screen. Lint left in the lint
compartment is drawn back onto the lint screen and will restrict airflow.
c. Be sure the lint screen is not torn. If it is, replace immediately. A
torn lint screen allows lint to pass from the tumbler to the ductwork system
and may restrict airflow.
d. The lint screen is designed to completely cover the entire opening in
the lint screen panel. Be sure that it does so. Excessive gaps between the
lint screen and the lint screen panel allow lint to pass into the ductwork
system and may restrict airflow.
