DESCRIPTION OF SYSTEM AND COMPONENTS System Description iHEAT is an electronically controlled gas/air modulation system that can be utilized by P250 or P265 burners to provide a variable heat source for an appliance. The components of the system include: a fan-assisted gas burner, a modulating gas valve, and an electronic control module that varies the speed of the burner fan and the gas flow rate through the gas valve.
BURNER INSTALLATION Mounting the Burner The burner ships with a mounting flange which grips the burner tube and has holes to bolt to the appliance. Dimensions for the flange are shown below. Burners with iHEAT are also available with all burner parts contained in an enclosure.

An alternate flange with a smaller profile is used on some models per OEM specifications. The dimensions for the alternate flange are shown below. Figure 2 - Alternate Flange Dimensions 64659-001 REV. A 07/06/18...
Sizing and Inspection of Gas Piping GAS LEAK HAZARD Liquefied petroleum gas is heavier than air. All connections should be checked for leaks using a soapy solution applied to gas connections. Leaking gas will settle in low lying areas such as basements and trenches.

Before turning gas under pressure into piping, all openings from which gas can escape should be closed. Immediately after turning on gas, the system should be checked for leaks. This can be done by watching the 1/2 cubic feet test dial and allowing 5 minutes to show any movement, or by soaping each pipe connection and watching for bubbles.
SETUP Proper setup of the burner system requires: 1. Installing the proper orifice 2. Setting the air shutter 3. Calibrating the blower 4. Setting the dip switches on the control board 5. Adjusting the modulating valve The orifice, air shutter, and dip switches may all be set before installation. Adjusting the modulating valve and calibrating the blower require that power be connected to the burner system and gas be connected to the inlet pipe.

Air Shutter Use Table 5 to determine the general air shutter setting based on the orifice size. Use a ¼” wrench to loosen the screw on the shutter’s numerical scale. Position the shutter so that the center of the screw lines up with the desired number on the scale, then re-tighten the screw.
Dip Switches Note: When power is first applied to the iHEAT control system, a 30 second delay will occur before the system will initiate an attempt to light the burner. No gas will flow during this wait time. The dip switches at the bottom right corner of the iHEAT board allow changes to the board’s configuration to be made in the field without reprograming, including switching from natural gas to propane.

To measure the pressure: Locate the appropriate pressure tap: The pressure taps are on top of the valve near the modulating coil (see illustration). The manifold pressure is measured from the tap nearest to the valve outlet. The other tap can be used to check inlet pressure.
To set the low pressure setting: Determine the recommended manifold gas Natural gas Propane gas pressure setting based on the table at right. Low pressure setting 0.2" w.c. 0.8" w.c. Locate the 5mm low pressure adjustment Table 10 - Recommended Manifold Pressure Settings nut.
SEQUENCE OF OPERATION On a call for heat, the ignition control’s diagnostic LED will flash rapidly while the ignition control begins sparking. After successful ignition, the LED will light green and remain lit as long as a flame is detected. If the burner fails to light, the control will wait for the interpurge time, then spark again.
Diagnostic Lights The iHEAT control provides 5 diagnostic lights that display the status of the iHEAT system and aid in diagnosing possible system component problems during the repair process. The lights and their functions are: Flash – Flashing light indicates the control is functioning properly. T-input –...
