Tri-Electrode/ Igniter Assembly

A high voltage spark, energized from the Flame Pack, (which also controls the Flame
Failure System) ignites the burner. This Flame Pack will also immediately close the
main valve (Combination Gas Valve) in the event of a fault, causing flame failure.
The Tri-electrode/ Igniter assembly includes 3 probes;

 Flame ignition probe
 Flame sensor probe
 Earth probe

NOTE: The Tri-electrode assembly shown is for the Tube burner. Size and connection
points for each Tri-electrode may vary between the different burner types.
It is imperative that the probes are correctly connected, as incorrect wiring will
cause damage to the Flame Pack.
Because the Flame ignition probe relies on the earth probe to create a spark, it is vital
that the Flame ignition probe, including its cable and connector, are not in contact OR
close proximity of any hot surface or sharp edges. If this occurs, a spark will not be
created at the spark point, resulting in the gas failing to ignite.
It is also vital that the "Spark point" and entire Tri-electrode assembly be kept clean and
free of foreign objects. If the probes are not clean a spark will not be created.
