INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
The 50A55-438 is an automatic gas interrupted ignition control
that employs a microprocessor to continually monitor, analyze,
and control the proper operation of the gas burner, inducer, and
fan.
Signals interpreted during continual surveillance of the thermo-
stat and flame sensing element initiate automatic ignition of the
burner, sensing of the flame, and system shut-off during normal
operation.
