Summary

Installation

Maintenance

Testing

Chek-Mate Tester

Tests ignitor/transformer performance using a high voltage tester. Green LED indicates successful operation.

Short Circuit Current Test

Connect a milliammeter to output terminals and energize primary with 120V. Reading should be within 10% of rated.

Open Circuit Test

Use oscilloscope and probe to measure peak voltage from secondary to ground. Sum of readings must be within 10% of rating.

Field Testing

Draw an arc between high voltage terminals by pivoting a screwdriver. Note the distance where the arc extinguishes (min 1/2 inch).

The Allanson OMNI™ Electronic Ignitor, Type 2275, is a device designed to provide a reliable ignition source for gas and oil burners. It is engineered for both intermittent duty (constant) and/or interrupted duty applications.

Important Technical Specifications:

• Input Supply Voltage: 108-132 Volts
• Input Supply Frequency: 50/60 Hz
• Primary Volt-Amperes (VA): 87
• Secondary Voltage (kV peak): 17.5 kV
• Secondary Frequency: >20 kHz
• Secondary Short Circuit Current: 28 mA
• Storage Temperature: -40 to +80 °C
• Operating Temperature: -30 to +40 °C
• Operating Relative Humidity: 90%
• Loading Air Gap: 1/16 to 3/16 inches

Mechanical Specifications:

The device has specific dimensions for its housing and terminals. Key dimensions include:

• A length of approximately 4.150 inches.
• A width of approximately 1.820 inches.
• A height from the base to the top of the terminals of approximately 2.330 inches, with the terminal posts extending further.
• The distance between the centers of the two high-voltage terminals is approximately 1.600 inches.
• The diameter of the high-voltage terminals appears to be around 0.750 inches.
• The base of the unit has a dimension of approximately 2.440 inches in one direction.

Usage Features (Installation):

1. Pre-Installation Inspection: Before installation, it is crucial to inspect the case and porcelain bushings for any damage incurred during transportation or handling. The product should not be used if the secondary bushings are chipped or cracked.
2. Base Plate Selection and Mounting: The correct base plate from the provided kit should be chosen to fit the burner. The primary lead wires are then routed to the appropriate lead exit on the base plate. The electronic ignitor is fastened to this plate using the three self-tapping screws provided.
3. Assembly and Wiring: The electronic ignitor assembly is installed on the burner. The primary leads are routed to the junction box for connection. It is essential to connect the black lead to the negative terminal (-) and the red lead to the positive terminal (+) of the power supply. Reversing this connection will prevent the unit from operating properly. Only UL Listed and CSA approved wire nuts should be used for connections.

Maintenance Features:

The OMNI® Electronic Ignitor is designed with no moving parts, which simplifies maintenance. The only required maintenance is the cleaning of the porcelain bushings. This should be done with a soft cloth during the annual furnace inspection.

Testing Procedures (to be carried out by qualified personnel ONLY):

WARNING: The voltages and currents involved can cause serious injury and/or death. Extreme caution must be exercised to avoid contact with primary live leads. No part of the body should come closer than 5 inches to the energized secondary terminals or parts of the secondary circuit. The mid-point of the transformer must be grounded before energizing the primary.

The OMNI® 2275 Electronic Ignitor can be tested using the following methods to ensure proper operation:

1. Chek-Mate™ (Allanson's Ignitor/Transformer tester): This specialized tester can be used by simply touching its high voltage spheres to the high voltage contacts of the ignitor/transformer. If the green LED on the tester illuminates, the unit is performing well.
2. Short Circuit Current Test: A true RMS high-frequency milliammeter should be connected to the output terminals. The primary is energized with 120 Volts at 50/60 Hz. The milliammeter reading should be within 10% of the rated current (28 mA).
3. Open Circuit Test: This test requires an oscilloscope and a high voltage oscilloscope probe. The high voltage probe is connected from one secondary terminal to the ground terminal (located in front and between the high voltage bushings). The peak of the waveform on the oscilloscope is measured. This procedure is repeated for the opposite high voltage terminal. The sum of the two readings should be within 10% of the nameplate rating (17.5 kV peak).
4. Field Testing: The electronic ignitor's grounding terminal is connected to a good ground. The primary leads are connected to 120 Volts, and the primary is energized. While holding the handle of a well-insulated screwdriver, one part of the screwdriver shaft is touched to one high voltage terminal. The screwdriver is then pivoted on this terminal until an arc is drawn from the opposite terminal. The air gap is gradually increased, and the distance at which the arc extinguishes is noted. The minimum distance should be 1/2".
