Safety Functions of the Controls

Power Outages

The controls will automatically resumes operations after power interruptions.

Controller Retry and Ignition Attempts

If the first ignition cycle fails during a normal heating cycle sequence, the control will finish the
sequence of the ignition and then de-energize the main gas valve. The blower remains energized and
the system is purged for the inter-purge duration. After the inter purge time expires, the control turns
the blower off, waits for the pressure switch to open, and performs a relay check on the gas valve.
The blower is then turned on and waits for the
pressure switch to close. Normal ignition sequence
is started. Nine ignition cycles are attempted before
soft lockout occurs. The control waits 30 minutes,
then attempts ignition again. If unsuccessful, the
control waits another 30 minutes, then attempts
ignition again. The control will go directly to hard
lockout after the third unsuccessful ignition cycle
(27 attempts at ignition) and post purge.
Condensate Removal Tube with Exhaust Tee Assembly
An important part of the Triton is the condensate
removal tube that comes included in the exhaust T.
During main burner, water vapor is created. As the heat is
transferred into the water thru the flue bundles, this water vapor
condenses and becomes a liquid. The removal tube provides a way
to evacuate this liquid to a local floor drain.
Make sure the red clean out plug is downstream from the unit.
Remove the red clean out plug on occasion to inspect the
removal tube and clean out any foreign matter that has
accumulated.
