WIRING
CAUTION
Disconnect power supply to prevent electrical 
shock and equipment damage. More than one 
disconnect may be involved. Wiring must conform 
to local codes and ordinances.
Rajah connectors are furnished for making connections to the 
ignition and flame electrodes. The ignition electrode (A models 
only) takes a receptacle connector. The flame electrode (both 
A and B models) takes a plug connector and has a snap-action 
spring terminal.
Use high tension wire, of a type found acceptable by a 
nationally recognized testing agency, for the wiring to the 
ignition electrode (Q179A). High tension wires should be rated 
electrically equivalent to type GTO-10 and should have 
temperature and humidity characteristics adequate for the 
application. If the ignition lead is exposed to temperatures 
above 125°F (52°C), use Honeywell R1061012 Ignition Cable 
rated at 350°F (177°C) or equivalent. For ignition installations 
in a contaminated environment, use Honeywell 32004766-003 
High Tension Cable rated at 482°F (250°C) or equivalent.
For wiring between the F terminal of the relay and the flame 
electrode, use wire with moisture-resistant insulation. Number 
14 single-conductor TW wire is adequate; however, those 
portions of the lead wire exposed to temperatures over 125°F 
(52°C) should also be heat resistant. For both heat and 
moisture-resistant applications, use part no. R1298020 Flame 
Rod Lead wire rated at 400°F (204°C) continuous duty or 
equivalent.
Run a ground wire from the pilot burner to the relay to assure a 
continuous, unchanging ground.
For detailed wiring diagrams, see the Instructions packed with 
the flame safeguard control.
CHECKOUT
CAUTION
Check to ensure the main valve opens only when 
the pilot flame is strong enough to ignite the main 
burner. Perform the pilot turn-down test as 
described in the Honeywell Flame Safeguard 
Control instructions.
The proper pilot burner orifice must be selected for the gas 
being used (natural, LP gas) so that the pilot burns with a 
medium hard flame. This type of flame provides the maximum 
flame signal.
The flame safeguard control relay will chatter if excess 
secondary air velocity or a severe draft condition causes the 
pilot flame to make intermittent contact with the flame electrode 
(rod) or grounding bracket.
The performance of the pilot assembly can be determined by 
measuring the flame signal developed with the pilot operating. 
The flame signal (current/voltage) measurement requires the 
use of an appropriate volt-ohmmeter.
Most existing Honeywell Flame Safeguard Controls 
incorporate a flame current jack in the control plug-in amplifier 
or in the control itself. The flame current measurement can be 
made with a Honeywell W136A Test Meter, which has a 0 to 25 
microampere dc scale (see Fig. 4). With the W136A selector 
switch positioned to the 0 to 25 microampere scale, connect 
the meter leads to the two ends of the meter connector plug, 
positive (red, +) to positive, negative (black, -) to negative. The 
Meter Connector Plug part no. 196146 is provided with the 
W136A Meter. If a W136A Meter or connector plug is not 
available, a dc ammeter with a 0 to 25 microampere scale can 
be wired in series with the F lead of the flame detector circuit. 
A minimum flame current of 2.0 microamperes is considered 
acceptable.
The Honeywell 7800 SERIES Flame Safeguard Control flame 
signals are measured in dc volts. A one megohm/volt meter is 
recommended for 7800 SERIES controls. The flame signal 
voltages are measured as illustrated in Fig. 5.
The minimum acceptable flame signal voltage for the 7800 
SERIES controls is 1.25 Vdc (maximum expected is 5.0 Vdc).
If the flame signal is less than the minimum acceptable for the 
Honeywell Flame Safeguard Control used, adjust the flame 
electrode (rod) to increase the flame signal to at least the 
minimum acceptable level by loosening the clamp screw and 
turning the electrode (rod) slightly to the right or left as 
required. After the flame electrode (rod) is adjusted, check the 
gap between the ignition electrode and burner tip (Q179A). 
The gap must be between 1/16 and 3/32 inch.
Perform the pilot turndown test as described in the Flame 
Safeguard Control Instructions to ensure the pilot flame is 
adequate to ignite the main burner.
