G67 Intermittent Pilot Ignition Controls

The G67 Intermittent Pilot Ignition

(IPI) Control is used to
automatically light a pilot burner
and energize the main burner
gas valve of a heating system in
response to the thermostat’s call
for heat. When the heating load is
satisfied, the thermostat opens
and the G67 de-energizes the
pilot and main burner gas valves.
The G67 can be used with
equipment with a maximum firing
rate of 117 kW (400,000 Btu/hr)
Any application over 117 kW
(400,000 Btu/hr) must be
approved in advance by the Figure 1: G67 Intermittent Pilot Figure 2: EC Approved G67EG

cycle

❑ High Energy Spark Promotes consistent dependable pilot lighting

❑ Compact Size Provides limited space applications

❑ Solid State Components Provides long life

❑ Quick Response to Loss of Provides rapid closure of main valve

Pilot Flame (0.8 second maximum)

❑ G67EG Approved Worldwide Broadens applications to include global markets

A pplication
The G67 ignition control may only be used for
two types of applications:
• well ventilated or outdoor applications
• power vent or induced draft application
The G67 is suitable for operation over a temperature
range of -40 to 66°C (-40 to 150°F). Consideration
must be given to the temperature of the surface on
which the G67 is mounted.
Use the G67B( ) only on rooftop, excess air, and power
vented gas burning equipment.
When using the G67, the appliance or equipment must
be approved by a recognized testing agency in
accordance with the applicable American National
Standards. See Specifications section. No other
application is permissible.
The G67 solid-state ignition control lights a pilot burner
by a spark. Pilot gas is ignited and burns during each
run cycle (intermittent pilot). Main burner and pilot gas
are extinguished during the Off cycle. All applications
must use a redundant main gas valve.
The main gas valve will not open until the pilot flame
has been proven by the sensing circuit. Should a loss
of flame occur, the main valve closes and the spark
recurs within 0.8 seconds.
O perating Mode Definitions
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.
Run--Main gas 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 seconds.

S equence of Operation
Figure 3 illustrates the sequence of operation for the
G67.
On a call for heat from the system thermostat, the G67
ignition control 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
G67 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 G67 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 G67
ignition control de-energizes the pilot gas valve and
main burner gas valve when the thermostat stops
calling for heat.
M ounting
Choose a location that provides the shortest, direct
cable route to the spark electrode, flame sensor
assembly. Easy access to the terminals is desired for
wiring and servicing. The G67 may be mounted in any
position.
For G67A and G67B, refer to Figures 4 through 6 for
wiring schematics/diagrams and Figure 7 for mounting
dimensions. For G67EG, refer to Figures 8 and 9 for
wiring schematic/diagram and Figure 10 for mounting
dimensions.
