K-Combustion Air Motor Capacitor C3, C11
The Combustion air blower in all GCS16 units uses a
208/230V singlephase PSC ballbearing motor which re
quires a run capacitor. The capacitor is rated as shown in
Table 3. Capacitor C3 is connected to combustion air blow
er B6. In dual heat exchanger models, C11 is connected to
combustion air blower C11. C3 and C11 are identical.
L-Gas Valve GV1, GV3
GV1 and GV3 are gas valves used in GCS16 series units. All
units are equipped with gas valve GV1. Gas valve GV3 is
only used in units equipped with dual heat exchangers. GV3
is identical to to gas valve GV1 but is located in the second
stage heat exchanger.
Gas valve GV1 is a twostage redundant valve. Units may be
equipped with valves manufactured by either Honeywell or
White-Rodgers. First stage is quick opening (on and off less
than 3 seconds) Second stage is slow opening (on 1 minute,
off 1-1/2 minute) On a call for first stage heat, the valve is en
ergized by the ignition control simultaneously with the spark
electrode. On a call for second stage heat, the second stage
operator is energized after time delay DL3 closes. When de
mand is satisfied, second stage must be closed (1-1/2 min
utes to close completely) before 1st stage can close. A
manual shut-off knob is provided on the valve for shut-off.
Manual shutoff knob immediately closes both stages with
out delay. Figure 26 shows Honeywell gas valve compo
nents and figure 27 shows White-Rodgers gas valve compo
nents. Table 4 shows factory gas valve regulation for GCS16
series units.

M-Electrode Assembly
An electrode assembly is used for both ignition spark and
flame sensing. Two identical electrodes are used. Each
electrode is mounted at extreme ends of the burner sup
port. The electrodes are mounted through holes in the
burner support and the electrode tips protrude into the
flame envelope of the adjacent burner. The electrode on
the left acts as the flame ignitor and the electrode on the
right acts as the flame sensor. The electrode assembly is
fastened to burner supports and can be removed for ser
vice without removing any part of the burners.
