Figure 1: G861 Integrated Function
Direct Spark Ignition Control
The G861 is a microprocessor-based, 100% shutoff, direct spark, and
remote flame sense, integrated function ignition control. The G861
responds to inputs from the thermostat, high limit switch, pressure switch,
and flame sensor. It provides outputs for timing and sequencing of the main
gas valve, induced draft motor, circulator/blower, and spark igniter.
The G861 utilizes quick-connect terminals for all off board connections,
except thermostat inputs and spark output. The thermostat inputs are
connected to a terminal strip with screw terminals and the spark output is
connected by a rajah, spike, or 1/4 in. male tab-type spark connector.
All G861 applications must use redundant gas valves and the pressure
switch must carry main valve current. Any application over
117 kW (400,000 Btu/hr) must be approved in advance by
Johnson Controls Application Engineering.
