PLANNING THE INSTALLATION

WARNING: Fire or Explosion Hazard.
Can cause property damage, severe injury, or death.
Follow these warnings exactly:

  1. Plan the installation as outlined below.
  2. Plan for frequent maintenance as described in the Maintenance section.

Heavy demands are made on the controls when direct ignition systems are used on central heating equipment in barns, greenhouses, and commercial properties and on heating appliances such as commercial cookers, agricultural equipment, industrial heating equipment and pool heaters.
Special steps may be required to prevent nuisance shutdowns and control failure due to frequent cycling, severe environmental conditions related to moisture, corrosive chemicals, dust or excessive heat. These applications require Honeywell Engineering review; contact your Honeywell Sales Representative for assistance.
Review the following conditions that can apply to your specific installation and follow the precautions suggested.

Frequent Cycling
This control is designed for use on appliances that typically cycle three to four times an hour only during the heating season. In year-around applications with greater cycling rates, the control can wear out more quickly. Perform a monthly checkout.

Water or Steam Cleaning
If a control gets wet, replace it. If the appliance is likely to be cleaned with water or steam, protect (cover) the control and wiring from water or steam flow. Mount the control high enough above the bottom of the cabinet so it does not get wet during normal cleaning procedures.

High Humidity or Dripping Water
Dripping water can cause the control to fail. Never install an appliance where water can drip on the control. In addition, high ambient humidity can cause the control to corrode and fail. If the appliance is in a humid atmosphere, make sure air circulation around the control is adequate to prevent condensation. Also, regularly check out the system.

Corrosive Chemicals
Corrosive chemicals can attack the control, eventually causing a failure. If chemicals are used for routine cleaning, avoid contact with the control. Where chemicals are suspended in air, as in some industrial or agricultural applications, protect the control with an enclosure.

Dust or Grease Accumulation
Heavy accumulations of dust or grease can cause the control to malfunction. Where dust or grease can be a problem, provide covers for the control to limit contamination.

Heat
Excessively high temperatures can damage the control. Make sure the maximum ambient temperature at the control does not exceed the rating of the control. If the appliance operates at very high temperatures, use insulation, shielding, and air circulation, as necessary, to protect the control. Proper insulation or shielding should be provided by the appliance manufacturer; verify proper air circulation is maintained when the appliance is installed.

INSTALLATION

When Installing this Product…

  1. Read these instructions carefully. Failure to follow them could damage the product or cause a hazardous condition.
  2. Check the ratings given in the instructions and on the product to make sure the product is suit-able for your application.
  3. Installer must be a trained, experienced service technician.
  4. After installation is complete, check out product operation as provided in these instructions.

WARNING: Fire or Explosion Hazard.
Can cause property damage, severe injury or death.
Follow these warnings exactly:

  1. Disconnect power supply before wiring to prevent electrical shock or equipment damage.
  2. To avoid dangerous accumulation of fuel gas, turn off gas supply at the appliance service valve before starting installation, and perform Gas Leak Test after installation is complete.
  3. Always install a sediment trap in gas supply line to prevent contamination of gas control.
  4. Do not force the on-off switch. Use only your fingers to operate the on-off switch. Never use any tools. If the electronic on-off switch does not operate by hand, the gas control should be replaced by a qualified service technician. Force or attempted repair may result in fire or explosion.
  5. Gas will leak if installed backwards.

Equipment Damage Hazard.
Can burn out thermostat or transformer. Applying a jumper across (or shorting) the valve coil terminals, even temporarily, can burn out the thermostat or transformer.

Follow the appliance manufacturers instructions if available; otherwise use these instructions as a guide.
IMPORTANT: These gas controls are shipped with protective seals over the inlet and outlet tappings. Do not remove the seals until ready to install adapters or connect the piping.

Install Bushings To Control

If bushings are being installed on the control, mount them as follows:
Bushings

  1. Remove the seal over the control inlet or outlet.
  2. Apply a moderate amount of good quality pipe compound to the bushing, leaving two end threads bare. On an LP installation, use compound that is resistant to LP gas. See Fig. 1.
  3. Insert the bushing in the control and carefully thread the pipe into the bushing until tight.
    Complete the instructions below for installing the piping, installing the control, and connecting the wiring. Make sure the leak test you perform on the control after completing the installation includes leak testing the bushings.

Location

The gas controls are mounted in the appliance vestibule on the gas manifold. If this is a replacement application, mount the gas control in the same location as the old control.
Locate the combination gas control where it cannot be affected by steam cleaning, high humidity, or dripping water, corrosive chemicals, dust or grease accumulation or excessive heat.
To assure proper operation, follow these guidelines:

  • Locate gas control in a well-ventilated area.
  • Mount gas control high enough above cabinet bottom to avoid exposure to flooding or splashing water.
  • Assure the ambient temperature does not exceed the ambient temperature ratings for each component.
  • Cover gas control if appliance is cleaned with water, steam, or chemicals or to avoid dust and grease accumulation.
  • Avoid locating gas control where exposure to corrosive chemical fumes or dripping water are likely.
Install Piping to Control

All piping must comply with local codes and ordinances or with the National Fuel Gas Code (ANSI Z223.1, NFPA No. 54), whichever applies. Tubing installation must comply with approved standards and practices.

  1. Use new, properly reamed pipe that is free from chips. If tubing is used, make sure the ends are square, deburred and clean. All tubing bends must be smooth and without deformation.
  2. Run pipe or tubing to the control. If tubing is used, obtain a tube-to-pipe coupling to connect the tubing to the control.
  3. Install a sediment trap in the supply line to the control. See Fig. 2.
Install Control
  1. Can be mounted in any direction.
  2. Mount so the gas flow is in the direction of the arrow on the bottom of the control.
    NOTE: Gas valve will leak if installed backwards.
  3. Thread the pipe the amount shown in Table 5 for insertion into control or adapters. Do not thread pipe too far. Valve distortion or malfunction can result if the pipe is inserted too deeply.
  4. Apply a moderate amount of good quality pipe compound (do not use Teflon tape) only to the pipe, leaving two end threads bare. On LP installations, use a compound resistant to LP gas. See Fig. 1.
  5. Remove the seals over the control inlet and out-let if necessary.
  6. Connect the pipe to the control inlet and outlet. Use a wrench on the hex end of the control. See Fig. 3.

STARTUP AND CHECKOUT

On-Off Switch
The on-off switch settings are as follows:

  • OFF: Prevents main gas flow through the control.
  • ON: Permits gas to flow into the control body. Under control of the thermostat and direct ignition module, gas can flow to the main burners.

NOTE: Controls are shipped with the electronic on-off switch in the ON position.

Perform Gas Leak Test

Fire or Explosion Hazard.
Can cause property damage, severe injury or death.
Perform Gas Leak Test every time work is done on a gas system.

IMPORTANT: Do not spray soap and water solution on the gas control. This can damage the control. Do not use an excessive amount of soap and water solution to perform the gas leak test. Apply only to pipe thread areas.

Gas Leak Test
  1. Paint pipe connections upstream of the gas control with rich soap and water solution. Bubbles indicate a gas leak.
  2. If a leak is detected, tighten the pipe connections.
  3. Light the main burner. Stand clear of the main burner while lighting to prevent injury caused from hidden leaks that could cause flashback in the appliance vestibule.
  4. With the main burner in operation, paint the pipe joints (including bushings) and the control inlet and outlet with rich soap and water solution.
  5. If another leak is detected, turn the gas control to off, tighten the joints and pipe connections.
  6. Replace the part if a leak cannot be stopped.
Check and Adjust Gas Input and Burner Ignition
  1. Do not exceed input rating stamped on appliance nameplate, or manufacturer’s recommended burner orifice pressure for size orifice(s) used. Make certain primary air supply to main burner is properly adjusted for complete combustion. Follow appliance manufacturer instructions.
  2. IF CHECKING GAS INPUT BY CLOCKING GAS METER: Make certain there is no gas flow through the meter other than to the appliance being checked. Other appliances must remain off with the pilots extinguished (or deduct their consumption from the meter reading). Convert flow rate to Btuh as described in form
    70- 2602, Gas Controls Handbook, and compare to Btuh input rating on appliance nameplate.
  3. IF CHECKING GAS INPUT WITH MANOMETER: Make sure the gas control is in the OFF position before removing outlet pressure tap plug to connect manometer (pressure gauge). Also move the gas control switch back to the OFF position when removing the gauge and replacing the plug. Before removing inlet pressure tap plug, shut off gas supply at the manual valve in the gas piping to the appliance or, for LP, at the tank. Also shut off gas supply before disconnecting manometer and replacing plug. Repeat Gas Leak Test at plug with main burner operating.

NOTE: Check the inlet pressure before adjusting the pressure regulator.

Standard (S, Q) and Slow-Opening (T, N) Models
  1. Carefully check the main burner lightoff. Make sure that the main burner lights smoothly and that all ports remain lit.
  2. Check the full rate manifold pressure listed on the appliance nameplate. Gas control full rate outlet pressure should match this rating.
  3. With main burner operating, check the control flow rate using the meter clocking method or check pressure using a manometer connected to the outlet pressure tap on the control. See Fig. 7.
  4. If necessary, adjust the pressure regulator to match the appliance rating.
  5. If the desired outlet pressure or flow rate cannot be achieved by adjusting the gas control, check the gas control inlet pressure using a manometer at the inlet pressure tap of the gas control. If the inlet pressure is in the nominal range (see Table 6), replace the gas control. Otherwise, take the necessary steps to provide proper gas pressure to the control.
  6. Two stage valves will require outlet pressure verification for both HI and LO fire.
Check Safety Lockout
Slow-Opening (T, N) Controls Only
  1. With the system power off and the thermostat set to call for heat, manually shut off the gas supply.
  2. Energize ignition control and start timing safety lockout time. When spark ignition terminates, stop timing.
    NOTE: When using the VR8215T or VR8215N, the specified ignition control safety lockout time must exceed 8.5 seconds for the system to function properly.
  3. After spark cutoff, manually reopen the gas control switch. No gas should flow to the main burner.
  4. Reset the system by adjusting the thermostat below room temperature, wait 30 seconds, and then move the thermostat setting up to call for heat. Normal ignition should occur.
  5. Two stage valves will require outlet pressure verification for both HI and LO fire.

Check Safety Shutdown Performance

WARNING: Fire or Explosion Hazard.
Can cause property damage, severe injury or death.
Perform the safety shutdown test any time work is done on a gas system.

NOTE: Read steps 1 through 7 before starting, and compare to the safety shutdown or safety lockout tests recommended for the direct ignition (DI) module. Where different, use the procedure recommended for the ignition module.

  1. Turn off gas supply.
  2. Set thermostat or controller above room temperature to call for heat.
  3. Watch for ignition spark or for glow at hot sur-face igniter either immediately or following pre-purge. See Direct Ignition module specifications.
  4. Time the length of spark operation. See the Direct Ignition module specifications.
  5. After the module locks out, open the manual gas cock and make sure no gas is flowing to the main burner.
  6. Set the thermostat below room temperature and wait one minute.
  7. Operate system through one complete cycle to make sure all controls operate properly.

MAINTENANCE

WARNING: Fire or Explosion Hazard.
Can cause property damage, severe injury, or death.
Do not disassembly the gas control; it contains no replaceable components. Attempted disassembly, repair, or cleaning can damage the control, resulting in gas leakage.

Regular preventive maintenance is important in applications in the commercial cooking and agricultural and industrial industries that place a heavy load on system controls because:

  • In many such applications, particularly commercial cooking, the equipment operates 100,000 to 200,000 cycles per year. Such heavy cycling can wear out the gas control in one to two years.
  • Exposure to water, dirt, chemicals and heat can damage the gas control and shut down the control system.

The maintenance program should include regular checkout of the control as outlined in the Startup and Checkout section, and the control system as described in the appliance manufacturer literature.
Maintenance frequency must be determined individually for each application. Some considerations are:

  • Cycling frequency. Appliances that may cycle 20,000 times annually should be checked monthly.
  • Intermittent use. Appliances that are used seasonally should be checked before shutdown and again before the next use.
  • Consequence of unexpected shutdown. Where the cost of an unexpected shutdown would be high, the system should be checked more often.
  • Dusty, wet, or corrosive environments. Since these environments can cause the gas control to deteriorate more rapidly, the system should be checked more often.

The system should be replaced if:

  • It does not perform properly on checkout or troubleshooting.
  • The gas control is likely to have operated for more than 200,000 cycles.
  • The control is wet or looks as if it has been wet.

SERVICE

WARNING: Fire or Explosion Hazard.
Can cause property damage, severe injury or death.
Do not disassemble the gas control; it contains no replaceable components. Attempted disassembly, repair, or cleaning can damage the control, resulting in gas leakage.

Equipment Damage Hazard.
Can burn out thermostats or other components in the control string. Never apply a jumper across (or short) the valve coil terminals, even temporarily.

If Main Burner Does Not Come On With Call For Heat
  1. Confirm the gas control switch is in the ON position.
  2. Adjust thermostat several degrees above room temperature.
  3. Using ac voltmeter, measure across the quick connect terminals at gas control.
  4. If voltage is incorrect or not present, check control circuit for proper operation.
  5. If proper voltage is present, replace gas control.

CONVERTING GAS CONTROL FROM NATURAL GAS TO LP GAS (OR LP GAS TO NATURAL GAS)

WARNING: Fire Or Explosion Hazard.
Can cause property damage, severe injury or death.

  1. Always change the main orifices when converting from natural to LP gas or from LP to natural gas. Carefully follow appliance manufacturer specifications and instructions to assure proper appliance conversion.
  2. Gas controls are factory-set for natural (and manufactured) or LP gas. Do not attempt to use a gas control set for natural (manufactured) gas on LP gas, or a gas control set for LP gas on natural (manufactured) gas.
