switch measures the flow through the vent system
and energizes the direct spark ignition system

3. The direct ignition system consists of an ignition
control module and a gas valve. When the pre-purge
period ends, the spark ignition system is energized,

When the thermostat is satisfi ed, the vent system is
de-energized and the valve closes to stop the fl ow of
gas to the unit.
