3. Setup and Installation

Proper installation is crucial for the safe and reliable operation of the ignitor leads. Always follow the specific instructions provided by the manufacturer of the appliance where these leads will be installed.

1. Power Disconnection: Before beginning any installation, ensure that the main power supply to the appliance is completely disconnected and locked out to prevent accidental startup.
2. Access: Gain access to the ignitor and its existing wiring within the appliance. This may involve removing panels or covers.
3. Old Leads Removal: Carefully disconnect and remove the old ignitor leads, noting the exact connection points and routing. It is recommended to take a photograph before removal for reference.
4. New Leads Connection: Connect the Imperial 35771 ICVG-Ignitor Leads to the appropriate terminals on the ignitor and the control board, matching the original wiring configuration. Ensure all spade connectors are firmly seated.
5. Secure Routing: Route the new leads away from hot surfaces, moving parts, and sharp edges. Use cable ties or clips if necessary to secure them in place, preventing damage or interference.
6. Reassembly: Once connections are secure and routing is complete, reassemble any removed panels or covers.
7. Power Restoration: Restore power to the appliance and test for proper operation according to the appliance manufacturer's guidelines.

Note: Incorrect wiring can lead to appliance malfunction, damage, or safety hazards. If you are not confident in performing this installation, seek professional assistance.

4. Operating Principles

The Imperial 35771 ICVG-Ignitor Leads serve as the electrical conduit between the appliance's control system and the ignitor. When the appliance initiates a call for heat or ignition, the control system sends an electrical signal through these leads to the ignitor. The ignitor then heats up to a temperature sufficient to ignite the gas or fuel, initiating the combustion process.

These leads are passive components; their "operation" is the reliable transmission of electrical current. Their performance is directly tied to the integrity of their connections and the quality of the wire itself, ensuring consistent power delivery to the ignitor.

5. Maintenance

The Imperial 35771 ICVG-Ignitor Leads are designed for durability and require minimal maintenance. However, periodic inspection can help ensure continued reliable operation.

• Visual Inspection: During routine appliance maintenance, visually inspect the leads for any signs of wear, fraying, cracks in insulation, or discoloration due to heat.
• Connection Integrity: Check that all spade connectors are securely attached to their terminals. Loose connections can lead to intermittent operation or arcing.
• Routing: Ensure the leads remain properly routed and are not pinched, abraded, or in contact with excessively hot surfaces.
• Cleaning: If dust or debris accumulates on the leads, gently wipe them clean with a dry, lint-free cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners unless specifically approved for electrical components.

If any damage is observed, the leads should be replaced immediately to prevent potential safety hazards or appliance malfunction.

6. Troubleshooting

If the appliance is experiencing ignition issues, the ignitor leads may be a contributing factor. Perform the following basic checks:

• No Ignition:
  • Verify power supply to the appliance.
  • Check all lead connections for tightness and proper seating.
  • Inspect leads for visible damage (cuts, burns, fraying).
  • Consult the appliance's manual for ignitor resistance specifications and test the ignitor itself.
• Intermittent Ignition:
  • Check for loose connections at both the ignitor and control board ends.
  • Ensure leads are not exposed to excessive vibration or movement that could cause intermittent contact.
  • Look for signs of arcing or carbon buildup at terminals.

If troubleshooting steps do not resolve the issue, or if you suspect a faulty ignitor lead, replacement may be necessary. Always ensure power is disconnected before performing any checks or replacements.
