S8610U3009

Universal Intermittent Pilot Module What is the S8610U3009? Provides electronic control of intermittent pilot ignition systems used on gas fired furnaces, boilers, and other heating appliances It’s the brain of the ignition system Receives call for heat signal from the thermostat Starts the spark ignition Opens the pilot valve Senses to see if the pilot is lit Opens the main burner Shuts things down at the end of the call for heat Monitors damper as opened or closed, if damper is attached One Part Number: S8610U3009

Normal Operation of an Intermittent Ignition Module Call for Heat On Off Valve On Pilot Lights Prove Pilot Burner Lights Valve On End Call for Heat Main Burner Pilot Ignition On a call for heat, both the Pilot valve and the Ignition come on together. Once the pilot is proved, the Ignition shuts off and the Main burner opens and remains open throughout the call for heat. When the call for heat ends, both the Main burner and Pilot shut off together.

S8610U Features Universal Compatibility Application Flexibility Replaces more than 400 Honeywell and competitive models Application Flexibility Works in single-rod and dual-rod applications Works with both natural and LP gas Quality Honeywell Control Provides electronic control for nearly any intermittent pilot ignition systems used on gas-fired furnaces, boilers and more Suitable for use with vent dampers Provides the ignition sequence, flame monitoring and 100% safety shutoff Enhanced Features Single LED indicates flame strength and gives diagnostic information Direct flame signal readout form the board Simplified error codes on label

The Benefits Benefit Feature Allows for more options in the field: 0 or 30 second prepurge and 15 or 90 second trial for ignition Assures selected sequence is retained permanently Green LED indicates status, error codes and pilot flame strength If senses use with a vent damper it locks the control, so damper must be used Provides 100% shutoff for both Natural and LP applications Feature Field selectable operating sequence can be customized Control locks to selected sequence on 20th “call for heat” LED communicates system status Integral damper connector Continuous retry ignition sequence

Additional benefits Feature Benefit Single-rod or dual-rod flame sensor Terminal-to-terminal wiring instructions Flame sense terminal 3/16” male QC (virtually all 2-rod systems sold have the sense terminal as 3/16” QC) Spark cable adapter 2.0 A main valve load rating Benefit Works in more applications Reduces wiring errors Prevents possible mis-wire of spark sense and potential for abnormal appliance light-off Includes adapter for rajah and nail type cable on existing systems; Simplified use Broader application; Fits more jobs

Installation

Installation of the S8610U Mount new ignition module Wire the module Do not mount with terminals facing up protect the module from exposure to water, moisture, corrosive chemicals and excessive dust and grease. Wire the module Wire the module per the installation instructions Verify the thermostat anticipator setting

Wiring continued For systems with a vent damper connect the damper to P1 Once the vent damper connection is made, the control must be used with a vent damper.

Set Up

Set Up the S8610U Review the module installation and set up for use Visually inspect, safety check, and review operating sequence per installation instructions Customize the operating sequence based on the specifications of the originally installed control

Customize Operating Sequence Set the dip switches per the application. Prepurge Trials for Ignition Sw 1 Sw 2 None 90 Seconds OFF OFF 30 Seconds 90 Seconds ON OFF None 15 Seconds Off ON 30 Seconds 15 Seconds ON ON

Troubleshooting

Troubleshooting of the S8610U Flame signal is not getting back to the module This is a common problem Probable causes Bad wiring in the flame detection circuit Pilot not burning properly Flame sensor damaged/corroded Cracked/contaminated ceramic

LED status and flame strength Green LED status codes Indicates status, error codes and flame strength

Status LED Green Status LED Codes OFF No “call for heat” Flash fast Power up – internal check Heartbeat Normal startup – ignition started 2 5 min. retry delay 3 Recycle 4 Flame out of sequence 5 Damper error 6 Control internal error 7 Flame rod shorted to ground 8 Low voltage 4-second solid on followed by “x” 1-second flashes indicates flame current

Flame current measurement Pilot flame current can be measured using a standard micro-ammeter
