(2) PILOT FAILURE
(a) Flame rod supervision of the Q179D pilots
occurs only during the activating cycle (call
for heat) since it is during this period that the
operatingcontrolisenergizingtheRA890F
relays. If pilot failure occurs during this period
on one of the Q179D pilots the main gas valves
controlledbythatparticularRA890Fwillclose
within0.8second.TheRA890Fwilllock
out of safety within 15 seconds and the “Pilot
Flame Failure Lamp” will be activated. The
burnerscontrolledbytheotherRA890Fwill
continue to burn.
(b) If pilot failure occurs on one of the Q179D
pilots during the “off” cycle of the operating
control,theRA890Frelaywillnotbepowered,
therefore,thereisnoelectronicamerod
supervision. This is due to the utilization of a
thermocoupleineachQ179Dmodiedpilot
which controls its own pilot safety switch. This
thermocouplewillcoolin45to90seconds

interrupts the circuit between the terminal #5

seconds and the “Pilot Failure Alarm Light”
will be activated as described in (a) above.
(c) Assuming the pilot on the opposite side is

d. SHUTDOWN INSTRUCTIONS
(1) Turn off all switches on both panels.
(2) Close manual shut-off valves and pilot valves.

The EEP Control System functionally is the same as
theEEControlSystem.TheRA890FProtectorelay,
however, is installed in a prewired control cabinet along
with a terminal strip, “main power” switch, “main gas
valves” switch, “main power” lamp, “main gas valves”
lamp, and “pilot failure” lamp.

a. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
(1) Turn off all panel switches.
(2) Turn off manual main and pilot gas valve. Wait
atleastve(5)minutesbeforeproceeding.
(3) Push safety switch reset button on this panel.
(4) Turn on manual pilot gas valve.
(5) Set operating control to desired temperature or
pressure.
(6)TurnonMain Power Switch. Main Power Light
will light. If all safety control and operating
control switches are closed, electronic pilot will
light.
(7) Turn on manual main gas valve(s).
(8) Turn on Main Gas Valve Switch to light main
burners. Main Gas Valve Lamp will light.
Proceed To Paragraph 15- Minimum Input
Adjustments (for diaphragm “Lo-Hi-Lo” or
motorized type gas valves).
SEQUENCE OF OPERATION EEP – See Fig. 53
b.NORMALOPERATION–5006Bthru5014B
(1) When the operating control calls for heat,
terminals#6ofPanelandRA890FRelayare
energized.
(2)AcomponentcheckcircuitintheRA890FRelay
is activated which checks the electronic network
in the relay.
(3) Terminals #3 and #4 of the panel and relay are
energized. Terminal #3 opens pilot line solenoid
valve supplying gas to pilot. Terminal #4
energizes ignition transformer creating electric
spark ignition at pilot.
(4) Flame rod circuit between Q179C pilot and
terminal“F”onRA890Fprovespresenceof

(5) Terminal #4 to ignition transformer is de-
energizedafterameisprovenatQ179C.
(6)Terminal#5onRA890Fisenergizedand
supplies power to the main gas valves. “Main
Gas Valve” panel lamp will light providing
“Main Gas Valve” switch is “ON” (circuit

(7) Main gas valves open and main burners are
lighted by pilot.
