1.1 | Functional Description The PF3100 Ion Pilot card is used to generate a spark to ignite a pilot burner and to detect the flame of both a pilot and main burner. This card is powered through the PFRN network via a Controller class or Network class card (typically a BMS Controller card or a Network Switch Card).

2.3 | Terminal Specifications This table provides connection details and a brief description of each terminal. TERMINAL EXPECTED CONNECTIONS INPUT/OUTPUT SAFETY RATED Main Ion + Connect to main flame rod. Flame Ionization Input Ion + For a Dual Rod configuration, Flame Ionization Input connect to the pilot flame rod.
VALVE Solenoid valves must be connected between the “+” and “-” terminals. The negative terminal is not directly connected to ground. This output is driven by 12 V and will only work with 12 V valves. EGND This terminal must be connected to the same ground as the pilot and main burner assemblies. Modules come pre-wired with a connection to the enclosure ground lug.
2.6 | Enclosure Diagram Enclosure options compatible with this card include the EPX enclosure. Port 3 Port 2 Port 4 (not shown) Port 1 All ports are ¾-14 NPT and must have appropriate pipe fittings or plugs installed. A minimum of 5 threads must be engaged in each port to maintain Div 1 / Zone 1 ratings.
CONTROLS AND DIAGNOSTICS The following is a list of all of the user interface items on the Ion Pilot card. 3.1 | Ports PFRN PORTS 1 PFRN IO Network Port This port is classified as an IO class port and is also the port through which the card is powered.
• The PF3100 Ion Pilot Module generates 20 kV - 40 kV at the high voltage output terminal of the ignition coil which can cause cardiac arrest. Do not touch or place any object near the ignition coil’s high voltage terminal or connected ignition wire while the product is operating.
The following terms are used to explain the network operations: Interface Class Card - Any PF3100 card that provides a control or monitoring interface to a user or remote PLC. Examples include the User Interface card and the Modbus card.
