The 37E73A-903/906 INTELLI-IGNITION™ control is a
combination gas valve, ignition control, and thermostat for
use on Power Vented water heaters. The microcomputer in
the control supervises the ignition sequence and timings
for the water heater, and provides diagnostic codes in case
of system malfunction. The control provides direct burner
ignition using the White-Rodgers’ Silicon Nitride ignitor. The
control uses the INTELLI-IGNITION™
technology to greatly
extend the ignitor’s life.
Fixed Adjustment Regulator Controls: The gas regulator
on this control requires no field service. The regulator
automatically controls and maintains the burner gas pressure.
