Figure 1: G861 Integrated Function

Direct Spark Ignition Control

The G861 is a microprocessor-based, 100% shutoff, direct spark, and

remote flame sense, integrated function ignition control. The G861

responds to inputs from the thermostat, high limit switch, pressure switch,

and flame sensor. It provides outputs for timing and sequencing of the main

gas valve, induced draft motor, circulator/blower, and spark igniter.

The G861 utilizes quick-connect terminals for all off board connections,

except thermostat inputs and spark output. The thermostat inputs are

connected to a terminal strip with screw terminals and the spark output is

connected by a rajah, spike, or 1/4 in. male tab-type spark connector.

All G861 applications must use redundant gas valves and the pressure

switch must carry main valve current. Any application over

117 kW (400,000 Btu/hr) must be approved in advance by

Johnson Controls Application Engineering.

G—G861 Series Integrated Function Direct Spark Ignition Control Technical Bulletin 3

The following conditions occur in normal control operation:

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

trial for ignition.

•Trial-for-Ignition Time--Maximum time period that the main gas valve

and igniter energizes in an attempt to light the main burner.

•Interpurge--Time period between trials for ignition when both the gas

valve and ignition source turn off and the inducer is on, allowing

unburned gas to escape before a succeeding trial can occur. (Retry takes

place only if proper ignition did not occur during the previous trial and

if total trials are less than three.)

•Run--Main gas valve remains energized after a successful ignition trial.

•Circulator/Blower “On Delay”--Fixed time delay after the flame is

sensed until the circulator/blower is energized.

•Circulator/Blower “Off Delay”--Field selectable time delay after the

thermostat contacts open when the circulator/blower remains energized.

•Postpurge--Time delay after the thermostat is satisfied when the

inducer remains energized.

Figure 2 illustrates the sequence of operation of the G861 control.

Upon receiving a call for heat from the system thermostat, the G861

follows this normal sequence of operation:

1. Pressure Switch Detection--The control checks the inducer pressure

switch to ensure that it is open.

2. Prepurge--The control energizes the inducer motor and verifies that the

pressure switch closes.

3. Pressure Switch Detection--The control checks the pressure switch to

ensure that it remains closed during the prepurge period.

4. Trial for Ignition--The control simultaneously energizes the spark

igniter and gas valve in an attempt to light the main burner. During the

trial time, the igniter is energized until flame is detected or until the

trial for ignition is complete, whichever occurs first.

5. Run--If main burner flame is sensed up to the last 0.5 second of the

trial, the gas valve and inducer remain energized for the duration of the

heat call. The circulator/blower is energized after a 30-second blower

“on delay” time and remains energized for the duration of the heat call.

6. Postpurge--Once the thermostat is satisfied, the gas valve is

de-energized and the inducer remains energized until the postpurge

period ends. The circulator/blower remains energized until the selected

blower “off delay” time has elapsed.

G—G861 Series Integrated Function Direct Spark Ignition Control Technical Bulletin 5

Upon receiving a call for continuous manual fan, the G861 energizes the

circulator/blower motor at medium fan speed. The continuous fan on

request is immediately overridden by a call for heat.

The G861 offers the following responses based on abnormal system

operation.

A pressure switch within the appliance provides proof of combustion air

flow. During a heating cycle, the G861 control responds to the state of this

switch in the following ways:

•At the beginning of the heating cycle, if the pressure switch is not open

before the inducer is energized, the control will wait for the switch to

open for as long as the call for heat is present. The G861 control LED

(Light-Emitting Diode) will blink with a flash code of 3 while waiting

for the pressure switch to open.

•If the pressure switch does not close after the inducer has been

energized for 8 seconds, the control will keep the inducer energized and

the LED will blink with a flash code of 3 until the pressure switch

closes or the call for heat is removed.

•If the pressure switch opens any time after the G861 control has begun

the trial for ignition, the control will immediately de-energize the gas

valve. If the pressure switch fault occurs after the flame is sensed, the

circulator/blower will run for 90 seconds, the inducer motor will remain

energized, and the control will go into the Pressure Switch Open Fault

state. During this time, the LED will blink with a flash code of 3. As

long as the call for heat is still present, the control will continue to wait

for the pressure switch to close before resuming the heating cycle. If the

pressure switch fails three times with no more than 30 seconds between

successive faults, the control will go to PSWFLT1 and PSWFLT 2 state

with an LED flash code of 3.

If a flame is present at power up, the G861 allows the flame to extinguish

within 10 seconds. If this occurs, the normal sequence of operation

continues. If the flame is still present after 10 seconds, the G861 goes into

flame lockout. If flame is present any other time it should not be, the G861

goes into flame lockout after a 10-second delay.

During the flame lockout, the inducer motor and the circulator/blower

remain energized, and the main valve is de-energized. The G861 control

LED flashes with a duty cycle of 1/2 second On, 1/2 second Off for

five flashes with a longer Off time before repeating the series. The control

remains in this state until the main power is cycled.

If a flame is not sensed by the end of the trial-for-ignition period, the gas

valve is de-energized, the inducer remains energized through the 10-second

interpurge period, and another trial for ignition begins. If a flame is not

sensed before the end of the third trial, the control proceeds to a 60-minute

retry delay period, where all outputs are de-energized, before resetting

itself. During the 60-minute retry delay period, the LED will blink with a

flash code of 2.

A “manual fan” call from the thermostat during the 60-minute retry will run

the circulator/blower at medium speed.

If the main burner flame is established and then lost, the gas valve is

de-energized and the inducer and circulator/blower run through a

10-second interpurge. Once the interpurge period expires, the control

initiates another trial for ignition.

After the sixteenth flameout in any given heating cycle, the control

proceeds to a 60-minute retry delay peroid, where all outputs are

de-energized. A “manual fan” call from the thermostat will run the

circulator/blower at medium speed. During the 60-minute retry delay

period, the LED will blink with a flash code of 2.

A “manual fan” call from the thermostat during the 60-minute retry will run

the circulator/blower at medium speed.

The G861 offers the following responses to the two possible interrupted

thermostat situations:

•If the call for heat is removed before the gas valve is energized, the

G861 will de-energize all outputs and return to the Off state.

•If the call for heat is removed any time after the gas valve is energized,

the gas valve and spark igniter (if energized) are de-energized, the

inducer motor will run through the postpurge period, and the

circulator/blower will run for the selected blower “off delay” time.

The high limit switch is monitored whenever a call for heat is present. Any

time the switch opens, the gas valve and igniter are de-energized, and the

inducer and circulator/blower run continuously. When the switch is reset,

the inducer and circulator/blower run for 180 seconds before the control

returns to normal operation. Whenever the high limit switch is open while

the call for heat is present, the control LED will blink with a flash code of 4.

CAUTION: Equipment Damage Hazard. Connect the high

voltage cable to the spark transformer terminal and

spark igniter before applying power to the control.

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

application. Use an NEC Class 2 transformer to provide 24 VAC under

maximum load, including the valve. A transformer having excessive

primary impedance due to poor coupling will affect the ignition potential.

Refer to Figure 3 for the G861 wiring diagram. All wiring should be in

accordance with the National Electrical Code (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 distance of 6.35 mm (1/4 in.)

and are not wrapped around any pipe, other wiring, or accessories.
