PLANNING THE INSTALLATION
Intermittent pilot systems are used on a wide variety of
central heating equipment and on heating appliances such
as commercial cookers, agricultural equipment, industrial
heating equipment and pool heaters. Some of these appli-
cations may make heavy demands on the controls, either
because of frequent cycling, or because of moisture, corro-
sive chemicals, dust or excessive heat in the environment.
In these situations, special steps may be required to pre-
vent nuisance shutdowns and premature control failure.
These applications require Honeywell Residential Division
Engineering review; contact your Honeywell Sales Repre-
sentative for assistance.
likely to be cleaned with water or steam, the controls and
associatedwiringshouldbecoveredsowaterorsteamflow
cannot reach them. The controls should be high enough
above the bottom of the cabinet so they will not be subject
tofloodingorsplashingduringnormalcleaningprocedures.
If necessary, shield the controls to protect them from
splashing water. A NEMA 4 enclosure is recommended for
the ignition module; see the Electronic Ignition Service
Manual, form 70-6604.
HIGH HUMIDITY OR DRIPPING WATER
Over time, dripping water or high ambient humidity can
create unwanted electrical paths on the module circuit
board,causingthemoduletofail. Neverinstallanappliance
where water can drip on the controls.
In addition, high ambient humidity can cause the gas
control to corrode, and finally to fail.
Where the appliance may be installed in a humid atmos-
phere, makesureaircirculationaroundthemoduleandgas
control is adequate to prevent condensation. It’s also im-
portant to regularly check out the system. A NEMA 4
enclosure may be needed; see the Electronic Ignition
Service Manual, form 70-6604.
FREQUENT CYCLING
These controls are designed for use on space heating
appliances that typically cycle 3 to 4 times an hour during
the heating season and not at all during the cooling season.
In an application with significantly greater cycling rates and
closertoyear-rounduse,werecommendmonthlycheckout
because the controls may wear out more quickly.
WATER OR STEAM CLEANING
Once a module or gas control has been wet, it may
operate unreliably and must be replaced. If the appliance is

We recommend mounting the module with the terminals
down to protect them from dripping water and dust. It can
also be mounted with the terminals on either side. DO NOT
MOUNT with terminals pointing up. Fasten securely with
four No. 6-32 machine or No. 8 sheetmetal screws.

female quick connect. Protect both ends with insulated
boots.
NOTE: The cable must not run in continuous contact with a
metal surface or spark voltage will be greatly reduced.
Use ceramic or plastic standoff insulators as required.
MOUNT THE SYSTEM CONTROLS
Mount any required controls, such as the gas control,
spark igniter, flame sensor, thermostat, limit and trans-
former according to manufacturer’s instructions.
To install:
1. Connect one end of the cable to the male quick
connect SPARK terminal on the ignition module.
2. Connect the other end of the cable to the igniter or
igniter-sensor stud on the pilot burner/igniter-sensor.
WIRE THE SYSTEM
CAUTION
1. Check the wiring diagram furnished by the appli-
ance manufacturer, if available, for circuits differ-
ing from the wiring hookups shown. Carefully
follow any special instructions affecting the gen-
eral procedures outlined below.
Connect Vent Damper
The D80B Vent Damper can be used with all ignition
modules, although the Molex plug provided on some mod-
ulessimplifieswiringconnectionswhenusedwiththeD80D
Plug-In Vent Damper. Once a module with vent damper
plug has powered a vent damper circuit, it cannot be used
in a gas system without a vent damper. A non-replaceable
fuse in the module blows on initial power-up. Once this fuse
has blown the module won’t work unless the vent damper
is connected.
To connect the plug-in model to D80D:
1. Removetheplugfromtheterminalstripontheignition
module case and discard.
2. Usingthewiringharnesssupplied,insertthematching
pin plug into receptacle on case and other end to vent
damper.
To connect the D80B, follow the wiring diagrams sup-
plied with the vent damper or see Fig. 7 for typical connec-
tions.
2. Disconnect the power supply before making wir-
ing connections to prevent electrical shock or
equipment damage.
IMPORTANT
1. As shown in the wiring diagrams, a common
ground is required on:
a. The pilot burner mounting bracket, and
b. The GND(BURNER) terminal on the ignition
module. Failure to use the GND(BURNER) termi-
nal may result in intermittent loss of spark and/or
loss of flame current sensitivity.
2. Make sure the transformer has adequate VA. The
ignition module requires at least 0.2 A at 24 Vac.
Add the current draws of all other devices in the
control circuit, including the pilot and main valves
in the gas control, and multiply by 24 to determine
the total VA requirement of these components.
Add this total to 4.8 VA (for the ignition module).
The result is the minimum transformer VA rating.
Use a Class II transformer if replacement is re-
quired.
Connect Ignition Module
1. Connectremainingsystemcomponentstotheignition

and the 24V terminal on the module. To change out a
module with TH-R, TH-W terminals:
1. Remove the wires from the 25V(2) and TH-R termi-
nals on the old module. Connect these two wires with a
solderless connector.
2. Tag and remove the remaining wires from the old
module.
3. Remove the old module and mount the new one in the
same location.
Ground Control System
The igniter, flame sensor and ignition module must
share a common ground with the main burner. Use thermo-
plastic insulated wire with a minimum rating of 105° C [221°
F] for the ground wire; asbestos insulation is not accept-
able. If necessary, use a shield to protect the wire from
radiant heat generated by the burner. Connect the ground
wire as follows:
1. Fit one end of the ground wire with a female 1/4 in.
quick-connect terminal and connect it to the male quick-
connect GND(BURNER) terminal on the ignition module.
2. Strip the other end of the wire and fasten it under the
igniter bracket mounting screw. If necessary, use a shield
to protect the ground wire from radiant heat.
4. Reconnect the remaining wires as shown in Table 4.
5. Increase the thermostat anticipator setting by 0.2 A.

OPERATION
Module operation can be conveniently divided into two
phases for S8600, S8610 and three for S8660, S8670. The
phases are
PREPURGE (S8660,S8670 ONLY)
When the S8660 is used in a fan-assisted combustion
system, the combustion air blower starts on a call for heat.
On proof of airflow, the air proving switch closes and
energizes the S8660, S8670. When the module is used in
an atmospheric system, the call for heat energizes the
module.
In either case, the module first initiates a 45 sec. delay
toallowsystemprepurge. Afterprepurge, themodulestarts
the pilot ignition sequence.

Pilot Ignition
perature for one minute or by turning off power to the
module for one minute.
Followingprepurgetiming(S8660,S8670),oronthecall
for heat (S8600, S8610), the module energizes the first
main valve operator. The first main valve opens, which
allows gas to flow to the pilot burner. At the same time, the
electronic spark generator in the module produces an over
10,000 volt spark pulse output. The voltage generates a
sparkattheigniter(S8600A,B;S8610A,B)origniter-sensor
(S8600F,H,M; S8610F,H; S8660; S8670) that lights the
pilot.
If the pilot does not light, or the pilot flame current is not
at least 1.0 µA and steady, the module will not energize the
second (main) valve and the main burner will not light.
S8600A,F; S8610A,F will continue to spark as long as the
thermostat calls for heat, or until the pilot lights.
Safety Shutoff with Continuous Retry (S8600M)
The S8600M provides 100 percent gas shutoff, followed
by retry for ignition. Operation on ignition failure is the same
as lockout modules, except that a timer starts timing imme-
diately following shutoff. Six minutes nom. (five minutes
min.) after shutoff, the module restarts the ignition se-
quence. The ignition trial, shutoff, wait sequence continues
until either the pilot lights or the thermostat is set below
room temperature to end the call for heat. The module can
alsoberesetbysettingdownthethermostatforoneminute.
MAIN BURNER OPERATION
When the pilot flame is established, a flame rectification
circuitiscompletedbetweenthesensorandburnerground.
The flame sensing circuit in the module detects the flame
current, shuts off the spark generator and energizes the
second main valve operator. The second main valve opens
and gas flows to the main burner, where it is ignited by the
pilot burner. On lockout models, the flame current also
holds the safety lockout timer in the reset (normal) operat-
ing condition.
SafetyLockout(S8600B,H;S8610B,H;S8660D;S8670D)
These modules provide 100 percent shutoff and safety
lockout. A timer in these models starts timing the moment
the trial for ignition starts. Ignition spark continues only until
the timed trial for ignition period ends. Then the module
goes into safety lockout. Lockout de-energizes the first
main valve operator and closes the first main (pilot) valve in
the gas control, stopping pilot gas flow. The control system
must be reset by setting the thermostat below room tem-

TROUBLESHOOTING
IMPORTANT
1. The following service procedures are provided as
a general guide. Follow appliance manufacturer’s
service instructions if available.
WARNING
Whenperformingthefollowingsteps,donottouch
stripped end of jumper or SPARK terminal. The
ignition circuit generates over 10,000 volts and
electrical shock can result.
2. On lockout and retry models, meter readings
between gas control and ignition module must be
taken within the trial for ignition period. Once the
ignition module shuts off, lockout models must be
reset by setting the thermostat down for at least
one minute before continuing. On retry models,
wait for retry or reset at the thermostat.
❏ Energize the module and immediately touch one end of
the jumper firmly to the GND terminal on the module. Move
the free end of the jumper slowly toward the SPARK
terminal until a spark is established.
❏ Pull the jumper slowly away from the terminal and note
the length of the gap when sparking stops. Check table
below.
3. If any component does not function properly,
make sure it is correctly installed and wired before
replacing it.
4. The ignition module cannot be repaired. If it mal-
functions, it must be replaced.
ARC LENGTH
No arc or arc less
than 1/8 in. [3 mm]
ACTION
Checkexternalfuse,ifprovided.
Verify power at module input
terminal.
5. Only trained, experienced service technicians
should service intermittent pilot systems.
Replace module if fuse and
power ok.
Voltage output is okay.
Perform the checkout on page 11 as the first step in
troubleshooting. Then check the appropriate troubleshoot-
ing guide (Fig. 14 or 15) and the schematic diagram (Figs.
16-17) to pinpoint the cause of the problem. If troubleshoot-
ing indicates an ignition problem, see Ignition System
Checks below to isolate and correct the problem.
Following troubleshooting, perform the checkout proce-
dure (page 11) again to be sure system is operating
normally.
Arc 1/8 in. [3 mm]
or longer.
STEP 4: Check pilot and main burner lightoff.
❏ Set the thermostat to call for heat.
❏ Watchthepilotburnerduringtheignitionsequence. See
if:
•
•
Ignition spark continues after the pilot is lit.
The pilot lights and the spark stops, but main burner
does not light.

IGNITION SYSTEM CHECKS
STEP 1: Check ignition cable.
Make sure:
❏ If so, ensure adequate flame current as follows.
❏ Ignition cable does not run in contact with any metal
surfaces.
•
•
Turn off furnace at circuit breaker or fuse box.
Clean the flame rod with emery cloth.
❏ Ignition cable is no more than 36 in. [0.9 m] long.
❏ Connections to the ignition module and to the igniter or
igniter-sensor are clean and tight.
❏ Ignition cable provides good electrical continuity.
STEP 2: Check ignition system grounding. Nuisance shut-
downs are often caused by a poor or erratic ground.
❏ A common ground, usually supplied by the pilot burner
bracket, is required for the module and the pilot burner/
igniter-sensor.
•
Check for good metal-to-metal contact between the
pilot burner bracket and the main burner.
•
Check the ground lead from the GND(BURNER)
terminal on the module to the pilot burner. Make sure
connections are clean and tight. If the wire is dam-
agedordeteriorated,replaceitwithNo.14-18gauge,
moisture-resistant, thermoplastic insulated wire with
105° C [221° F] minimum rating.
— Check the ceramic flame rod insulator for cracks
or evidence of exposure to extreme heat, which
canpermitleakagetoground.Replacepilotburner/
igniter-sensor and provide shield if necessary.
— If flame rod or bracket are bent out of position,
restore to correct position.
STEP 3: Check spark ignition circuit. You will need a short
jumper wire made from ignition cable or other heavily
insulated wire.
❏ Close the manual gas valve.
❏ Disconnect the ignition cable at the SPARK terminal on
the module.

RECOMMENDED PROCEDURE FOR SAFETY INSPECTION OF AN EXISTING
APPLIANCE INSTALLATION AS A PRELIMINARY STEP TO APPLYING
AN AUTOMATIC INTERMITTENT PILOT SYSTEM
operate at maximum speed. Do not operate a summer
The following procedure is intended as a guide to aid
in determining that an appliance is properly installed and
is in a safe condition for continuing use.
exhaust fan. Close fireplace dampers. If, after complet-
ing steps 7 through 12, it is believed sufficient combus-
tion air is not available, refer to 1.3.4 of the National Fuel
Gas Code (Z223.1) for guidance.
This procedure is predicated on central furnace and
boiler installations equipped with an atmospheric gas
burner(s) and not of the direct vent type. It should be
recognized that generalized test procedures cannot
anticipate all situations. Accordingly, in some cases,
deviation from this procedure may be necessary to
determine safe operation of the equipment.
a. This procedure should be performed prior to any
attempt at modification of the appliance or the instal-
lation.
b. If it is determined there is a condition which could
result in unsafe operation, the appliance should be
shut off and the owner advised of the unsafe condi-
tion.
8. Place in operation the appliance being inspected.
Follow the lighting instructions. Adjust thermostat so
appliance will operate continuously.
9. a. Determinethatthepilotisburningproperlyand
that main burner ignition is satisfactory by inter-
rupting and re-establishing the electrical supply to
the appliance in any convenient manner.
b. Determine manifold pressure in order to match
input after the new control is installed.
The following steps should be followed in making the
safety inspection:
a.Visually determine that main burner gas is burn-
ing properly; i.e., no floating, lifting or flashback.
Adjust the primary air shutter(s) as required.
b.If appliance is equipped with high and low flame
controlorflamemodulation,checkforpropermain
burner operation at low flame.
1. Conduct a Gas Leakage Test of the appliance
piping and control system downstream of the shutoff
valve in the supply line to the appliance.
2. Visually inspect the venting system for proper size
and horizontal pitch and determine there is no blockage
or restrictions, leakage or corrosion or other deficiencies
which could cause an unsafe condition.
11. Test for spillage at the draft hood relief opening
after 5 minutes of main burner operation. Use a draft
gauge, the flame of a match or candle, or smoke from a
cigarette, cigar or pipe.
3. Shut off all gas to the appliance and shut off any
other fuel-burning appliance within the same room. Use
the shutoff valve in the shutoff valve in the supply line to
each appliance.
12. Return doors, windows, exhaust fans, fireplace
dampers and all other fuel-burning appliances to their
previous conditions of use.
13. Applicable only to warm air heating appliances.
Check both limit controller and fan controller for proper
operation. Limit controller operation can be checked by
temporarily disconnecting the electrical supply to the
blower motor and determining that the limit control acts
to shut off the main burner gas.
4. Inspect burners and crossovers for blockage and
corrosion.
5. Applicable only to warm air heating appliances.
Inspect heat exchangers for cracks, openings or exces-
sive corrosion.
14. Applicable only to boilers:
6. Applicable only to boilers. Inspect for evidence of
water or combustion product leaks.
a. Determinethatthecirculatingwaterpumpsare
in operating condition.
b. Test low water cutoffs, automatic feed con-
trols, pressure and temperature limit controls and
relief valves in accordance with the
manufacturer’s recommendations and instruc-
tions to determine they are in operating condition.
7. Insofar as is practical, close all building doors and
windows and all doors between the space in which the
appliance is located and other spaces of the building.
Turn on clothes dryers. Turn on any exhaust fans, such
as range hoods and bathroom exhausts, so they will

PROCEDURE FOR INSTALLING AUTOMATIC INTERMITTENT PILOT SYSTEMS
Prior to beginning this procedure, a preliminary ex-
amination of the appliance and the automatic intermit-
tent pilot system should be made to determine that the
automatic intermittent pilot system can be properly
applied to the appliance.
This procedure is intended as a guide to aid in safely
installing a listed automatic intermittent pilot system on
an existing listed appliance equipped with an atmos-
pheric gas burner(s) and not of the direct vent type.
This procedure is based on the assumption that the
history of the specific installation has been one of safe
and satisfactory operation.
7. Make certain wiring connections are tight and
wires are positioned and secured so they will not be able
to contact high temperature locations.
8. Conduct a Gas Leakage Test of the appliance
piping and control system downstream of the shutoff
valve in the supply line to the appliance.
9. a. Adjust the thermostat to its highest tempera-
ture setting, and test manifold pressure and adjust
the pressure regulator to match original input as
required (refer to Exhibit A, step 9b).
This procedure is predicated on central furnace and
boiler installations, and it should be recognized that
generalized procedures cannot anticipate all situations.
Accordingly, in some cases, deviation from this proce-
dure may be necessary to determine safe operation of
the equipment.
b. Visually determine that main burner is burning
properly; i.e., no floating, lifting or flashback. Ad-
just the primary air shutter(s) as required.
10. If the appliance is equipped with high and low
flamecontrolorflamemodulation, checkforpropermain
burner operation at both high and low flame.
The following steps should be followed in making the
modifications:
11. Determine that the pilot is igniting and burning
properly and that main burner ignition is satisfactory by
interrupting and re-establishing the electrical supply to
the appliance in any convenient manner. Make this
determination with the appliance burner both cold and
hot. Perform this step as many times as is necessary to
satisfy yourself that the automatic intermittent pilot sys-
tem is operating properly.
1. Perform a safety inspection of the existing appli-
ance installation. See Exhibit A for a recommended
procedure for such a safety inspection.
2. Shut off all gas and electricity to the appliance. To
shutoffgas,usetheshutoffvalveinthesupplylinetothe
appliance. Do not use the shutoff valve which is pro-
vided as part of a combination control.
12. Test the pilot safety device (1) to determine if it is
operating properly, and (2) for turndown characteristics
according to the manufacturer’s installation instructions.
No adjustments should be made other than those rec-
ommended by the system manufacturer.
3. Install the automatic intermittent pilot system in
strict accordance with the manufacturer’s installation
instructions.
4. Turn on all gas and electricity to the appliance.
13. Sequence the appliance through at least three
operating cycles.
5. Determine that the appliance transformer has
adequate capacity by following the steps outlined be-
low:
14. Applicable only to furnaces. Check both the limit
controller and the fan controller for proper operation.
Limit control operation can be checked by blocking the
circulating air inlet or temporarily disconnecting the
electrical supply to the blower motor and determining
that the limit controller acts to shut off the main burner
gas.
a. Computetheapproximatecurrentdrawbyadding
the current draw of the automatic intermittent pilot
system to (1) the current draw of the associated
valving, and (2) the current draw of any relays or
other devices operated by the transformer.
b. Multiplythetotalcurrentdrawascomputedabove
by 24 V to determine the total VA (volt-ampere)
required.
15. Applicable only to boilers.
c. The total VA (volt-ampere) required should be
equal to or less than the VA rating of the transformer.
d. If the total VA (volt-ampere) required is greater
thantheVAratingofthetransformer, thetransformer
must be replaced with a Class 2 transformer of
adequate rating.
a. Determine that the circulating water pumps are
in operating condition.
b. Test low water cutoffs, automatic feed water
controls, pressure and temperature limit control-
lers and relief valves in accordance with the
manufacturer’s recommendation to determine
they are in operating condition.
6. Check the heat anticipator in the comfort thermo-
stat to determine if it is properly adjusted to the current
draw of the control system. Follow the thermostat
manufacturer’s instructions.
16. Add the labels (see 1.6.1-n and -o) on the appli-
ance.
