PLANNING THE INSTALLATION
WARNING
Fire or Explosion Hazard. Can cause product
damage, severe injury, or death.
Follow these warnings exactly:
- Plan the installation as outlined
- Plan for frequent maintenance as described in the Maintenance
When intermittent pilot systems are used on central heating equipment in
barns, greenhouses, and commercial properties and on heating appliances such
as commercial cookers, agricultural equipment, industrial heating equipment
and pool heaters, heavy demands are made on the controls. Special steps may be
required to prevent nuisance shutdowns and control failure due to frequent
cycling, severe environmental conditions related to moisture, corrosive
chemicals, dust or excessive heat. These applications require Resideo
Residential Thermal Solutions Engineering review; contact your Resideo Sales
Representative for assistance.
Review the following conditions that can apply to your specific installation
and take the precautionary steps suggested.
Frequent Cycling
This control is designed for use on appliances that typically cycle three to four times an hour only during the heating season. In year around applications and applications with greater cycling rates, the control can wear out more quickly. Perform a monthly checkout as described in this instruction manual.
Water or Steam Cleaning
If a control gets wet, replace it. If the appliance is likely to be cleaned with water or steam, protect (cover) the control and wiring from water or steam flow. Mount the control high enough above the bottom of the cabinet 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, regularly check out the system as described in this instruction manual.
Corrosive Chemicals
Corrosive chemicals can attack the control, eventually 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 control in 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.
Heat
Excessively high temperatures can damage the control.
Make sure the maximum ambienttemperature at the control does not exceed the
control rating. If the appliance operates at very high temperatures, use
insulation, shielding, and air circulation, as necessary, to protect the
control. The appliance manufacturer should provide proper insulation or
shielding; verify proper air circulation is maintained when the appliance is
installed.

IMPORTANT
These ignition system controls are shipped with protective seals over the inlet and outlet tap- pings. Do not remove the seals until ready to connect the piping.
Follow the appliance manufacturer instructions if available; otherwise, use these instructions as a guide.
Converting Ignition System Control from Natural Gas to LP Gas Application (or LP Gas to Natural Gas Application)
WARNING
Fire or Explosion Hazard. Can cause product
damage, severe injury, or death.
Follow these warnings exactly:
- Do NOT attempt to convert step-opening models (SV9401P/SV9402P/SV9403P, SV9501P/SV9502P/SV9503P, or SV9601P/ SV9602P).
- Always change the main and pilot burner orifices when converting from natural to LP gas or from LP to natural Follow appliance manufacturer specifications and instructions to assure proper appliance conversion.
- Ignition system controls are factory-set for natural (and manufactured) or LP gas. Do not attempt to use an ignition system control set for natural (manufactured) gas on LP gas, or an ignition system control set for LP gas on natural (manufactured)
Convertible (Natural/LP) Regulator for Mobile Home Applications
Ignition system controls with suffix letter R are convertible pressure
regulator models. They can be converted from natural gas to LP or from LP to
natural gas without a conversion kit.
Before converting the ignition control from one gas to another, check the
ignition control label and the appliance manufacturer rating plate to
determine if the factory-set pressure regulator setting meets the appliance
manifold requirements after conversion.
NOTE: Convertible pressure regulator models (suffix letter R) do not have
field-adjustable regulators.
If the factory pressure regulator setting meets the appliance manifold
requirement, convert the ignition control using the following procedure:
- Remove the pressure regulator See Fig. 1.
- Turn over the cap so the letters facing up are for the gas type the appliance uses–NAT for natural gas and LP for LP
- Replace the cap and tighten
Install Adapters on Control
IMPORTANT
3/4 in. inlets and outlets do not accommodate flange adapters. If adapters are being installed on the control, mount them as follows:
Flanges
-
Choose the appropriate flange for your application as listed in Table 5.
-
Remove the seal over the ignition system control inlet or
Fig. 1. Convertible Regulator for SmartValves. -
Make sure that the O-ring fits in the groove of the If the O-ring is not attached or missing, do not use the flange.
-
With the O-ring facing the ignition system control, align the screw holes on the ignition system con- trol with the holes in the flange. Insert and tighten the screws provided with the flange. See Fig. 2. Tighten the screws to 25 inch-pounds of torque to provide a gas-tight seal.
DO NOT USE FLANGES ON 3/4 IN. INLET AND 3/4 IN. OUTLET MODELS, AND ON THE 3/4 IN. OUTLET SIDE OF 1/2 IN. INLET AND 3/4 IN. OUTLET MODELS.
Fig. 2. Firmly fasten flange to valve but do not overtighten screws.
Bushings
- Remove the seal over the ignition system control inlet or
- Apply a moderate amount of good quality pipe compound to the bushing, leaving two end threads On an LP installation, use compound resis- tant to LP gas. Do not use Teflon tape.
- Insert the bushing in the ignition system control and carefully thread the pipe into the bushing until
the installation includes the adapters and screws. If you use a wrench on the valve after the flanges are installed, use the wrench only on the flange, not on the control. See Fig. 6.
Location
The SV9401/SV9402/SV9403, SV9501/SV9502/SV9503, and SV9601/SV9602 are mounted in the appliance vestibule on the gas manifold.
IMPORTANT
Make sure the mounting location protects the control from dripping water and excessive humidity.
IMPORTANT
Make sure the mounting location maximum and minimum ambient temperature are both within the specified acceptable range.
Install Piping on Control
All piping must comply with local codes and ordinances or with the National Fuel Gas Code (ANSI Z223.1 NFPA No. 54), as applicable.
- Use new, properly reamed pipe free from If tubing is used, make sure the ends are square, deburred and clean. All tubing bends must be smooth and without deformation.
- Run pipe or tubing to the ignition system If tubing is used, obtain a tube-to-pipe coupling to connect the tubing to the ignition system control.
- Install a sediment trap in the supply line to the igni- tion system control as shown in 3.
CAUTION
GAS LEAKAGE HAZARD. FAILURE TO FOLLOW PRECAUTIONS CAN RESULT IN A GAS-FILLED WORK AREA. SHUT OFF THE MAIN GAS SUPPLY BEFORE REMOVING END CAP. TEST FOR GAS LEAKAGE WHEN INSTALLATION IS COMPLETE.

MAINTENANCE
WARNING
Fire or Explosion Hazard. Can cause property
damage, severe injury, or death.
Do not attempt to take the control apart or clean it. Improper cleaning or
reassembly can cause gas leakage.
Regular preventive maintenance is important in applications such as in the
commercial cooking and agricultural and industrial industries that place a
heavy load on system controls because:
-
In many such applications, particularly commercial cooking, the equipment operates 100,000 to 200,000 cycles per Such heavy cycling can wear out the gas control in one to two years.
-
Exposure to water, dirt, chemicals and heat can damage the gas control and shut down the control
The maintenance program should include regular checkout of the control as outlined in the Startup and Checkout section, and the control system as described in the appliance manufacturer literature. Maintenance frequency must be determined individually for each application. Some considerations are: -
Cycling Appliances that may cycle 20,000 times annually should be checked monthly.
-
Intermittent Appliances that are used seasonally should be checked before shutdown and again before the next use.
-
Consequence of unexpected shutdown. Where the cost of an unexpected shutdown would be high, the system should be checked more
-
Dusty, wet, or corrosive environment. Because these environments can cause the gas control to deteriorate more rapidly, the system should be checked more
The system should be replaced if:
- It does not perform properly on checkout or
- The gas control is likely to have operated for more than 200,000
- The control is wet or looks as if it has been
SERVICE
CAUTION
Equipment Damage. Can cause property damage.
Do not disassemble the ignition system control; it contains no replaceable components. Attempted disassembly or repair can damage the ignition system control.
CAUTION
Electrical Equipment Damage Hazard.
Do not apply a jumper across or short the thermostat, 24V hot or 24V common terminal in the SV9401/SV9402/SV9403, SV9501/SV9502/
SV9503, or SV9601/SV9602 wiring harness. This can burn out the heat anticipator in the thermostat or damage the system transformer.
Carefully read the Sequence of Operation and Troubleshooting information before attempting to service the appliance. After servicing, make sure the system operates properly.
IMPORTANT
Allow 60 seconds after shutdown before reener- gizing a step-opening model to assure lightoff at step pressure.
