4. GENERAL THEORY OF OPERATION
IGNITION EXCITER
Application of 110-130 VAC (optional 220-260 VAC), 50/60 Hz to the primary induces a high voltage
in the secondary coil of the power transformer (See Figure 1). The high voltage generated in the
secondary of the power transformer is rectified in the voltage doubler circuit by the action of two solid
state rectifiers and two capacitors. With each change of polarity, a pulse of DC current charges the
storage capacitors. The resistor R3 and inductor L1 serve as current limiters. When this voltage reachesthe predetermined level that the Spark Gap Discharge Controller (SGDC) has been calibrated, the
SGDC will ionize. Current will flow from the storage capacitors C1 and C2 through the SGDC, to the
center conductor of the output lead to the Spark Rod Tip; returning to storage capacitor through the
ground lead. When the energy is dissipated at the Spark Rod Tip, the storage capacitors will be
recharged. There is a voltage drop across the SGDC so a spark does not completely discharge the
capacitors. Bleed resistors R1 and R4 are provided to dissipate any residual charge on storage
capacitors between duly cycles. Resistors R2 and R5 in the output circuit provide a discharge path for
storage capacitor energy in the event that the Spark Rod Tip fails to fire, or the unit is subjected tooperation without a flexible cable, Rod, and Tip. Resistors R2 and R5 are essential to protect the
capacitors from an over voltage in the situations describe above.
DANGER
DISCONNECTING INPUT POWER WILL RESULT IN REDUCING
THE OUTPUT POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE SHOCK AFTER 5
MINUTES. DO NOT DISCONNECT OUTPUT CABLE OR SPARK
ROD WHILE UNIT IS RUNNING OR BEFORE THE EXPIRATION OF
A 5 MINUTE INTERVAL FOLLOWING REMOVAL OF INPUT
POWER. DO NOT REMOVE TIP WHILE INPUT POWER IS
CONNECTED TO UNIT BEFORE A 5 MINUTE PERIOD
FOLLOWING REMOVAL OF INPUT POWER.

5. EXCITER MOUNTING AND WIRING
Refer to drawing 0775.0004.XX, 5000066 or 5000067 in the appendix for exciter enclosuredimensions and wiring information.
6. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
6.1 EXCITER
Mount the Exciter at eye level or lower. Avoid locating near furnace hot spots, casing gas leaks and
direct contact with the windbox. Refer to the Exciter drawing for applicable dimensions and hole sizes.
6.2
FLEXIBLE CABLE
When routing the Flexible Cable between the Exciter and the Spark Rod, avoid coiling the cable since
this may reduce the energy transferred to the Spark Rod Tip due to additional reactance. During
Installation caution should be exercised not to subject the flexible cable to a bend radius of less than 4
inches at any point as damage to the flexible cable could result. Care should also be taken to orient the
elbow in a vertical position to prevent the elbow from impacting with retractor frame during operation.
6.3 RETRACTOR
Refer to drawing 5000087 in the appendix. If possible, install the retractor at eye level or lower on the
mounting guide pipe assembly which is welded to the surface of the boiler.
6.4 SPARK ROD AND TIP
Insert the Spark Rod and Tip (through the Retractor packing glands if in contract, see section
D-D and) into the guide tube When the Spark Rod has been inserted to the operating depth fully

6.5 WIRING
Check local codes and the national electrical code for over current protection and external disconnect
wiring requirements. Insure all power is disconnected before installation is attempted.
Attach wiring for the Flexible Cable exciter end to the exciter, and spark rod end to the
Spark Rod. Electrical input specifications for the Exciter and Retractor assemblies are outlined in
Table 1-1. Specific requirements which should be noted are shown inside junction box covers or on
nameplates of the Exciter and Retractor assemblies.
6.5.1
Input voltage required to operate the Exciter is specified as 110 to 130VAC (or optional 220/260
VAC) 50/60 Hz. A hole is provided on the Exciter for a ½” conduit fitting. Wiring to the terminal
block in the Exciter should meet National Electrical Code requirements.
6.5.2
Input voltage required to operate a Retractor assembly is specified as 120 VAC (optional 220 VAC),
50/60 Hz. A hole is provided in the junction box on the Retractor assembly for a ½” conduit fitting.
Wiring to the terminal block in the junction box should meet National Electrical Code requirements.
6.6
COMPRESSED AIR LINES
Compressed air specifications for the Retractor assembly air cylinder are outlined in Table 1-1.
Specific requirements which should be noted are as follows:
6.6.1
Operating pressure for the air cylinder is 70-100PSI.
6.6.2
Conditioned air, free of oil, water and dirt, is connected to the pressure inlet on the solenoid valve.

6.7 PRE-START CHECKS
CAUTION: Before applying power to the Exciter, the system, should be checked to make absolutelysure that:
1. The Exciter is properly mounted to its electrically grounded supporting structure.
2. The Flexible Cable is tightened to both the Exciter assembly and the Spark Rod assembly, with
proper alignment of elbows.
3.
The Spark Rod Tip is properly tightened to the Spark Rod Assembly.
FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THE ABOVE COULD RESULT IN PERSONE BEING SERIOUSLY INJURED
BY COMING IN CONTACT WITH HIGH VOLTAGES AND CURRENTS.
6.8 ELECTRICAL
With the Spark Rod fully retracted in the reverse position, apply input voltage to the Exciter. Audible
sparking should be observed at the Spark Rod Tip.
6.9 MECHANICAL
Activate the Retractor mechanism. A positive full stroke should be observed as the Spark Rod travels
to the forward position, and in turn to the reverse position.

7. TROUBLESHOOTING
7.1
Troubleshooting procedures are outlines in Table 2-1, TROUBLES AND REMEDIES.
TABLE 2-1
TROUBLES AND REMEDIES
CONDITION: Retractor Mechanism fails to actuate.
PROBABLE CAUSE REMEDY
1. A loss of electrical impulse control to the
Retractor.
2. A significant drop in air pressure supply
to the retractor.
3. Air leaking at cylinder.
1. Check electrical control system and
make repairs as necessary.
2. Check Plant air supply and filters.
Repair as necessary.
3. Rebuild air cylinder using piston seal
kit P/N 0670.0012.01 and rod Bushing
Seal kit p/N 0670.0011.01
Condition: Spark Rod Tip fails to fire.
PROBABLE CAUSE REMEDY
1. Open Circuit condition exists in input
power supply to the Exciter.
2. Defective Flexible Cable.
1. Check control system output voltage
and repair as necessary.
2. Separate the Flexible Cable from the
Exciter and the Spark Rod, then using a
Simpson 260 voltmeter or equivalent:

3. Defective Spark Rod Tip.
4.
Defective Spark Rod.
5. Defective Exciter.
3. Replace Spark Rod Tip.
4.
Remove Spark Rod Tip, disconnectflexible cable and:
A) Check continuity between the socket
connector, Spark Rod Tip end, and the
contact at the Flexible Cable end. If
resistance is more than 1.0 Ohm,
rebuild or replace cable.
B)
Measure the resistance between the
center conductor and the outer surface
of the Spark Rod using a standard
multimeter. Replace center conductor if
resistance is less than 10 Megohms.
C) Check Rod Tip Insulator. If broken,
replace with P/N 5000103 using
Retainer Nut Removal Tool
P/N 0570.0001.01.
5. Remove electrical supply, then:
A) Discharge capacitors C1 and C2.
Disconnect one lead from capacitorsC1 and C2. Using a standard
multimeter on a high Ohms range, put
leads across capacitors terminals.
Meter should rapidly swing right then
slowly drift left (infinite resistance).
Replace if defective.
B)
Check transformer, resistors and diodes
using a standard multimeter. Replace if
defective.
C) Substitute Spark Gap Discharge
