than 20°F.  
1) If the differential is less than 20°F,  
temperature controller is functioning  
properly.  
a. Proceed to average temperature.  
2) If the differential is more than 20°F,  
the temperature controller is  
malfunctioning.  
a. Install a replacement  
temperature controller and check  
calibration.  
10. Replace temperature dial on shaft.  
6. Calculate the average temperature by adding  
the temperature indicated when the heat lamp  
goes out to the temperature indicated when the  
heat lamp comes on & divide this answer by 2.

GAS BRAISING PANS - ELECTRICAL OPERATION  
IGNITION CONTROL MODULE  
The ignition control module is energized when 24 volts is applied between terminals 5 & 6.  
The module outputs 24 volts from terminals 2 & 3 to the pilot valve coil (PV) on the gas combination valve,  
allowing gas flow to the pilot burner.  
At the same time, the module generates a spark voltage output of approximately 13K at terminal 9 to begin  
sparking at the ignitor/flame sense electrode.  
The sparking will continue until an adequate pilot flame sense current is sensed by the module or for a maximum  
of 90 seconds.  
NOTE: If pilot is not established within the 90 second ignition trial time, the ignition module locks out by removing  
power to the gas combination valve. The system remains locked out until the on/off switch is cycled to reset the  
system and re-start the ignition trial cycle.  
With the pilot burner lit, a flame sense current in DC micro amps is rectified thru the ignitor cable back to  
terminal 9.  
When the module senses a sufficient pilot flame current, the module outputs 24 volts from terminal 1 & 2 to  
energize the main valve coil (MV) on the gas combination valve, allowing gas flow to the runner tube and main  
burners.  
When power to the ignition control module is removed, the output voltages are also removed. The pilot valve coil  
(PV) and the main valve coil (MV) on the gas combination valve are de-energized and close. Gas flow to the pilot  
burner, runner tube and main burners stop and all burners go out.
