S89E,F
Direct Spark Ignition Control Module
APPLICATION
The Honeywell S89E,F Direct Spark Ignition Control Modules
control the ignition sequence and gas control operation in
direct spark systems used primarily on gas-fired atmospheric
and power burners in residential furnaces and heating
appliances.
FEATURES
• Requires separate 120 Vac spark generator.
• S89E has 10-second maximum delay for safe start
check before ignition.
• S89F has 38-second maximum delay for safe start
check plus valve on delay before ignition.
• Available with 4 or 11 second (nominal) lockout timing.
• 100 percent shutoff for use with all heating gases.
• Ambient temperature rating is -40°F to +175°F (-40°C to
+80°C).
• Separate electrodes for spark ignition and flame
sensing.
• Uses Honeywell or any other 2A or less dual valve
combination gas control designed for Direct Spark
Ignition (DSI) applications.
• Locks out system after trial for ignition if main burner
fails to ignite.
• Flame rectification principle used to monitor flame;
false flame signals resulting from short to ground
results in safety shutdown.
• After safety shutdown, S89E and F can be reset from
the thermostat.
