4. Setup and Installation

Installation of the Supco Camstat PR2412036W Pilot Re-Igniter Kit requires careful attention to electrical connections and furnace safety procedures. It is strongly recommended that installation be performed by a qualified HVAC technician.

General Steps:

1. Power Disconnection: Turn off all electrical power to the furnace at the main breaker or fuse box.
2. Access Pilot Assembly: Locate and access the furnace's pilot light assembly.
3. Remove Old Igniter (if applicable): Carefully disconnect and remove the existing pilot igniter components.
4. Mount New Components: Using the provided mounting hardware, securely install the new Camstat control module and ignitor electrode assembly in appropriate locations, ensuring proper clearance and alignment.
5. Connect Wiring: Connect the ignition cable between the control module and the ignitor electrode. Follow the wiring diagram provided with the kit for electrical connections to the furnace's control system. The module supports 24VAC or 120VAC input.
6. Verify Connections: Double-check all connections for security and correctness.
7. Restore Power: Once installation is complete and verified, restore power to the furnace.
8. Test Operation: Initiate a heating cycle to confirm proper pilot ignition and operation.

Refer to the detailed installation instructions included in your kit for specific wiring diagrams and mounting guidelines relevant to your furnace model.

5. Operating Instructions

The Supco Camstat Pilot Re-Igniter Kit operates automatically to maintain the pilot flame. Once installed and powered, the module monitors the pilot flame. If the pilot flame extinguishes, the re-igniter will automatically generate a spark to re-light it, ensuring continuous and safe furnace operation without manual intervention.

6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance of your furnace, including the pilot assembly, is crucial for optimal performance and safety. While the re-igniter kit itself requires minimal maintenance, consider the following:

• Annual Inspection: Have a qualified HVAC technician inspect your furnace annually. They can check the ignitor electrode for wear, carbon buildup, or damage.
• Cleanliness: Ensure the area around the pilot assembly and ignitor is free from dust, debris, and obstructions.
• Component Check: During inspections, verify that all wiring connections to the control module and ignitor are secure and free from corrosion.

7. Troubleshooting

If your furnace pilot is not lighting or staying lit, consider these troubleshooting steps:

• No Pilot Light:
  • Check if the furnace has power.
  • Ensure the gas supply to the furnace is open.
  • Inspect the ignitor electrode for cracks, carbon buildup, or damage. A dirty or damaged electrode may not spark effectively.
  • Verify all wiring connections to the control module and ignitor are tight and correct.
• Pilot Lights but Goes Out:
  • The flame sensor (part of the ignitor assembly) might be dirty or faulty. Clean the flame sensor rod gently with fine sandpaper or steel wool.
  • Ensure the pilot flame is strong and consistently engulfs the flame sensor. Adjust pilot gas pressure if necessary (this should be done by a qualified technician).
  • Check for drafts that might be blowing out the pilot flame.
• No Spark from Ignitor:
  • Confirm the control module is receiving the correct voltage (24VAC or 120VAC).
  • Check the ignition cable for damage or loose connections.
  • The control module itself may be faulty.

If these steps do not resolve the issue, contact a qualified HVAC technician for further diagnosis and repair.
