Setup and Installation
This section outlines the general steps for installing the Vaillant 100547 Automatic Gas Igniter. Always refer to the specific service manual for your Vaillant heating appliance for detailed, model-specific instructions.
- Preparation: Ensure the heating system is completely powered off and the gas supply is closed. Allow the system to cool down if it has been recently operating.
- Access: Open the appliance casing to access the control board area where the igniter module is located. Follow the appliance manufacturer's instructions for safe access.

If you encounter any difficulties or error messages, refer to the Troubleshooting section or consult a qualified technician.
Operating Principles
The Vaillant 100547 Automatic Gas Igniter operates as an integral part of your heating system's control logic. When a demand for heat is detected, the main control board sends a signal to the igniter module. The igniter then initiates a spark to ignite the gas flowing to the burner. Once ignition is confirmed by the flame sensor, the igniter ceases sparking, and the burner continues to operate under the main control system. This process is fully automatic and requires no direct user interaction after installation.
Maintenance
The Vaillant 100547 Automatic Gas Igniter is a sealed electronic component and does not require routine user maintenance. Any inspection or servicing of this module should only be performed by a qualified service technician as part of the overall heating system's annual maintenance. Technicians may check electrical connections for corrosion or looseness and ensure the module is functioning correctly within the system's parameters.
Troubleshooting
If your heating system is experiencing ignition issues, the Vaillant 100547 module might be a contributing factor. However, many issues can mimic igniter problems. Always consult a qualified technician for diagnosis and repair.
- No Ignition/Repeated Ignition Attempts: This could indicate a faulty igniter, a problem with the gas supply, a dirty flame sensor, or issues with the main control board.
- Error Codes: Refer to your main heating appliance's user manual for specific error codes related to ignition or burner operation.
- Intermittent Operation: Loose connections or intermittent faults within the module or associated wiring can cause inconsistent ignition.
Do not attempt to repair the igniter module yourself. Replacement by a qualified professional is typically the recommended solution for a faulty igniter.
