G—G76x Direct Spark Ignition Controls Technical Bulletin 3

The following definitions describe operating conditions.

•Prepurge--Initial time delay between thermostat contact closure and

trial for ignition.

•Trial for Ignition--Period during which the main gas valve and spark

are energized in an attempt to ignite gas at the main burner. The control

attempts to prove flame at the main burner within the trial-for-ignition

time.

•Run--Main gas valve remains energized and spark is turned off after

successful ignition.

•100% Shutoff--For controls with automatic recycle, main gas did not

ignite within the trial-for-ignition time. The control de-energizes the

spark circuit and main valve.

•Automatic Recycle--If 100% shutoff occurs, the control delays for a

specific recycle delay period before beginning another trial for ignition.

(Models with recycle only.)

•Interpurge--Period between trials for ignition when both the gas valve

and spark are deactivated to allow unburned gas to escape before the

next trial. Interpurge occurs between unsuccessful trials on a multi-trial

control or after a loss of proven flame (flameout).

•Ignition Lockout--Main gas did not ignite within the final

trial-for-ignition time. Open the thermostat contacts for 30 seconds,

then close to restart the sequence of operation. (Models with an

optional Light-Emitting Diode (LED) will flash the LED to indicate

ignition lockout.)

•Flameout--Loss of proven flame.

•Hard Lockout--The control detected a fault. Open the thermostat

contacts for 30 seconds, then close to restart the sequence of operation.

(Models with an optional LED will turn off the LED to indicate a hard

lockout.)

Operating

Mode

Definitions

4 G—G76x Direct Spark Ignition Controls Technical Bulletin

Figure 2 illustrates the sequence of operation of the G76x control.

The G76x is energized on a call for heat from the system thermostat.

(Models with an optional LED will turn on the LED [steady on] until the

call for heat is satisfied.) If the control is equipped with the optional

prepurge, the control will delay for the time selected before initiating a

trial for ignition. During the trial for ignition, the control attempts to light

the main burner by simultaneously energizing the main gas valve and

supplying a continuous spark at the igniter electrode. If the optional

prepurge is not selected, then the trial for ignition begins within 1 second

after the call for heat. The spark is deactivated immediately following the

trial for ignition.

Under normal conditions, the main burner gas ignites within the

trial-for-ignition period. If the control senses main burner flame by the end

of the trial, the control proceeds to a run condition. During the run state,

the control energizes the main valve until the call for heat ends, or until a

flameout occurs. If main burner flame is not sensed by the end of the

trial-for-ignition period, the control may:

•proceed to a 30-second interpurge followed by another trial (three trial

models whose first two trials produced no flame)

•proceed to lockout (no automatic recycle models whose final trial

produced no flame)

•proceed to a recycle delay period followed by another trial (automatic

recycle models whose final trial produced no flame)

If the main burner flame extinguishes during the run state, the control

de-energizes the main gas valve for an interpurge of 30 seconds. After this

period, another trial for ignition is initiated. If this flameout cycle repeats

for a total of 16 times (main burner flame established, then lost), the

control will:

•Enter the lockout mode if the control is a G760. The thermostat

contacts must be opened for 30 seconds and then closed to escape the

lockout condition.

•Enter the 100% shutoff mode and recycle period (5 minute recycle

delay for the G765 and 60 minute recycle delay for the G766) before

beginning another trial for ignition, starting with prepurge.

IMPORTANT: These instructions are intended as a guide for

qualified personnel installing or servicing

Johnson Controls ignition controls. Carefully follow

all instructions in this bulletin and all instructions on

the appliance. Limit repairs, adjustments, and

servicing to the operations listed in this bulletin or on

the appliance.

WARNING: Fire or Explosion Hazard. Avoid serious injury by

carefully following precautions in this bulletin and

all instructions on the appliance. Limit repairs,

adjustments, and servicing to the operations listed in

this bulletin or on the appliance.

WARNING: Fire or Explosion Hazard. If the control is installed

in an area that is exposed to water (dripping,

spraying, rain, etc.), it must be protected. If the

control has been exposed to water in any way, do not

use it.

WARNING: Shock Hazard. Avoid electrical shock and

equipment damage. Disconnect electrical power and

turn off gas before wiring the control into the circuit.

CAUTION: Equipment Damage Hazard. Do not mount the

control where it will be exposed to direct infrared

radiation from the main burner or to temperatures in

excess of the maximum product temperature rating.

Choose a location that provides the shortest, direct cable route to the spark

igniter/flame sensor assembly. Easy access to the terminals is desired for

wiring and servicing. The control may be mounted in any position. Mount

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

the mounting holes provided in the enclosure.

CAUTION: Equipment Damage Hazard. Connect the high

voltage cable to the spark transformer terminal and

spark electrode before applying power to the control.

Ensure that the ground wire is attached to the sensor

assembly and the ignition 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 Figure 3 for wiring diagram. 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

high voltage spark transformer cable are separated from one another by a

minimum of 6.35 mm (1/4 in.) and are not wrapped around any pipe, other

wiring, or accessory.

Instructions for installing the spark electrode and sensor assembly are

typically provided by the appliance manufacturer. It is important to follow

those instructions. If such information is not included, use the following

basic instructions.

Location/Mounting

The spark electrode and sensor assembly must be positioned for easy

access and securely mounted to the main burner to ensure that the

assembly remains properly positioned with respect to the main burner

flame. The main burner flame must engulf at least 9.52 mm (3/8 in.) of the

flame sensor. If a separate flame sensor is used, keep the sensor wire as

short as possible and do not rest it against grounded metal surfaces.

Standoff insulators are recommended.

The spark electrode, flame sensor, and G76x must share a common ground

with the main burner to operate correctly. Thermoplastic insulated wire

with a minimum rating of 105°C (221°F) is recommended for the ground

wire. Ensure that the flame sensor wire and the high voltage spark

transformer wire 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

accessory.

Startup

Procedure

10 G—G76x Direct Spark Ignition Controls Technical Bulletin

The anticipator setting is normally equal to the ignition system current

draw, plus that of the 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 the current draw can be accomplished by opening the

thermostat contacts (lowering the setpoint), 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 4.

IMPORTANT: Measuring the current with an ammeter will energize

the system. Wait until the appliance is in the run

condition before taking a current draw measurement.
