Direct spark ignition with lockout

DSI (RAM 1MC1 module)

What happens, in order

  1. Power is supplied at 110/120 VAC through the junction box and On/Off switch; the module LED flashes slowly with no call for heat
  2. Call for heat the LED flashes fast and the igniter sparks at the pilot
  3. Spark continues only for the trial period; if the pilot does not light and prove, the module locks out
  4. Two LED flashes mean a 5 minute lockout; reset with the On/Off switch or breaker
  5. A steady LED flash means a hard lockout - control failure
  6. Check the high-limit switch where fitted (normally open); an open limit stops operation
