INSTRUCTION MANUAL for MODELS: 2260-TP, 2260-TW, 2260-P, 2260-TPLP, & 2260-TWLP
1. Introduction
This instruction manual provides you with application information on the 2260 series of electronic ignitors. These devices are
designed for CONSTANT DUTY and provide the most reliable ignition source for commercial/industrial gas applications. Before
proceeding identify the model you are installing by the mechanical specifications on reverse side.

3. Installation
a) Install the ignitor assembly on the burner and route the primary leads to the junction box or control panel for connection.
Primary cord sets: Models 2260-TP, 2260-P, 2260-TPLP, and 2260-TWLP are shipped with primary plug set. Model 2260-TW has
traditional bottom exit pigtails and optional knockouts on case bottom for routing of primary wire to junction box.
Mounting: Model 2260-P is mounted through the case and via ground tab. Models 2260-TW, 2260-TP, 2260-TPLP and 2260-TWLP
are mounted using the ears/tabs on side of case.
Connect leads as required by wiring method described in control instruction manual or by specific application
requirements.
4. Maintenance
These ignitors have no moving parts. The only maintenance required is the cleaning of the primary and secondary connections
with a soft cloth during the annual system inspection.
5. Testing
The voltages and currents available can cause serious injury and/or death. Extreme caution is to be used to avoid
contact with the primary live leads. Do not allow any parts of your body to come closer than 5 inches to the
energized secondary terminals or parts of the secondary circuit. Ensure the transformer is grounded before energizing
The 2260 Ignitors can be tested as follows to ensure that they are operating properly.
a) Short Circuit Current Test.
Route one connection on a true RMS high frequency milliameter to the output terminal and the second connection to ground.
Energize the primary with 120 Volts at 50/60 Hz. The reading on the milliameter should be within -15% +10% of the rated.
b) Field Testing.
Allanson's Chek-Mate™ Ignitor / Transformer Tester can be used to test the 15kVpk Ignitor. You will require a set of 2 alligator clips
- order Allanson's Chek-Mate accessory kit part #SC-2200-Kit. Ensure unit is grounded and powered OFF before proceeding.
Jump out oper. controls or thermostat/aquastat. Route 1 alligator clip from sphere on Chek-Mate to secondary wire, and
second alligator clip to run from sphere on Chek-Mate to ground. Power on burner and if green led lights (no more than 3 sec-
onds) unit is good.
