INTRODUCTION

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).

1.2 | System Requirements

Specific system requirements will vary according to which Controller class card is connected to the Ion
Pilot card. For additional information, refer to the Hardware Guide corresponding to the Controller type
card (e.g., BMS Controller card) specific to your application.
IGNITION COIL WIRING
The Ion Pilot card is usually sold in a Class I, Div 1 / Zone 1 explosion proof enclosure (EPX) which also
includes an ignition coil. This allows the ignition and flame monitoring to be located close to the associat-
ed burner which reduces the need for long ignition wires.
