Figure 1: G670 Intermittent Pilot Ignition Control

The G670 is a Non-100% Lockout Intermittent Pilot Ignition (IPI) control

that replaces the G67AG and G67BG ignition controls. The G670 is used to

automatically light a pilot burner and energize the main burner gas valve in

response to a call for heat from the system thermostat. When the call for heat

is satisfied, the thermostat opens and the G670 de-energizes the pilot and

main burner gas valves.

Following are the application requirements of the G670 control.

•The G670 can be used with equipment with a maximum firing rate of

117 kW (400,000 Btu/hr). Any application greater than 117 kW

(400,000 Btu/hr) must have written approval in advance from the

Heating Products Engineering Department.

•All G670 applications must use a redundant gas valve system with the

main valve seats in series.

The following definitions describe operating conditions.

•Trial for Ignition--Period during which the pilot valve and spark are

activated attempting to ignite gas at the main burner. The

trial-for-ignition period is infinite for the G670s and ends once the

pilot flame is detected or the call for heat ends.

•Run--The main valve remains energized and the spark is turned off

after successful ignition.

•Flameout--Loss of proven flame. Should a flameout occur, the main

valve closes and the spark recurs within 0.8 second.

Figure 2 illustrates the sequence of operation for the G670 ignition control.

On a call for heat from the system thermostat, the G670 simultaneously

opens the pilot valve and supplies a continuous spark to the pilot burner’s

electrode. When the pilot burner gas ignites, the pilot flame sensor detects

the pilot flame and signals the G670 to energize the main gas valve and

discontinue the spark. The main gas valve will not be energized until the

flame sensor detects the presence of the pilot flame.

If the pilot flame goes out (with the thermostat still calling for heat), the

G670 will de-energize the main gas valve and provide a continuous spark

at the pilot burner’s electrode. When the pilot flame is re-ignited and

detected by the pilot flame sensor, the main gas valve is energized and the

spark is shut off. The G670 de-energizes the pilot gas valve and main

burner gas valve when the thermostat stops calling for heat.

9. Remove the screws holding the ignition control assembly in place.

10. Remove the ignition control and discard.

11. Using the same holes as the old ignition, mount the new G670 control

on a grounded metal surface with metal screws or bolts through the

mounting holes provided on the enclosure.

All spark ignition controls have a spark transformer connected to a high

voltage cable. There are three types of connection for the high voltage

cable: Spike, Rajah, and 6.35 mm (1/4 in.) male spade (see Figure 3). The

G670 has a Spike transformer. When replacing a control that has a Rajah

or male spade connection, the crimp-on connector must be cut off.

1. Slide the rubber boot up the cable.

2. Cut the lead just above the connector (see Figure 4). Make a straight

cut perpendicular to the cable.

3. Center the exposed wire on the end of the lead over the spike in the

spark transformer and push the wire lead down firmly over the spike

(see Figure 5).

4. Ensure the lead is inserted all the way into the spark transformer. Slide

the boot back down the cable and over the spark transformer.

CAUTION: Equipment Damage Hazard. Connect the high

voltage cable to the spark transformer terminal and

spark electrode (pilot burner assembly) before

applying power to the control. Ensure the ground wire

is attached to the pilot burner and control ground

terminal strip.

CAUTION: Equipment Damage Hazard. Locate all limit and

operating controls in series with the thermostat

terminal (THS 2) on the ignition control.

Check the voltage rating marked on the control and make sure it is suited to

the application. Use a National Electrical Code (NEC) Class 2 transformer

to provide 24 VAC under maximum load, including valves. A transformer

having excessive primary impedance due to poor coupling will affect the

ignition potential.

Refer to Figures 6 through 9 for wiring diagrams. All wiring should be in

accordance with the NEC and all other local codes and regulations. The

high voltage spark transformer cable must not be in continuous contact

with a metal surface. Use standoff insulators. Ensure that the flame sensor

wire and the high voltage spark transformer cable are separated from

one another by a minimum distance of 6.35 mm (1/4 in.) and are not

wrapped around any pipe, other wiring, or accessories.

Procedure

10 G

G670 Intermittent Pilot Ignition Controls Technical Bulletin

The thermostat anticipator setting is normally equal to the ignition system

current draw, plus that of the pilot and main valve.

Due to variations in appliance wiring and valves, it is advisable to measure

the actual current draw of the heating system at the thermostat location.

Measuring this current can be accomplished by opening the thermostat

contacts (lowering the set point) and installing an AC ammeter across the

terminals, or by using a clamp-on ammeter with a 10-turn multiplier

attached to the terminals (see Figure 10).

IMPORTANT: Measuring the current with an ammeter will energize

the system. Wait until the gas valve and inducer

energize before taking a current draw measurement.
