2.0 System Specifications
2.1 Description of Equipment
The Chentronics® SmartSpark® is a high energy ignition system for use with gas, #2 distillate, and diesel
fuels. Designed with durability in mind, the SmartSpark® is able to withstand temperature extremes,
operate in up to 100% humidity, and operate safely in Class 1 Zone 2 hazardous areas. For convenience,
there is an LED indicator on the back of the exciter which indicates when the igniter is sparking, when the
igniter tip is reaching end of life, and when the igniter tip has reached end of life. This allows the user to
replace igniter tips before they fail and prevent ignition faults from occurring. The compact on-the-rod
design makes the SmartSpark® convenient to use and makes it the smallest, most powerful ignition system
available.
2.2 General Arrangement
2.3 Configurations:
The SmartSpark® system model number 07000224 is available in four configurations:
Model 07000224-AZ
Configured with 304 stainless steel enclosure and non-knurled output rod.
Model 07000224-AK
Configured with 304 stainless steel enclosure and knurled output rod.
Model 07000224-BZ
Configured with 316 stainless steel enclosure and non-knurled output rod.
Model 07000224-BK
Configured with 316 stainless steel enclosure and knurled output rod.

2.4 Equipment Enclosure
The electrical control and measurement equipment are completely encased in potting and the enclosure
is welded shut to prevent water ingress. The 304 or 316 stainless steel enclosure prevents corrosion which
could compromise the enclosure. The power cable has a pull-collar latch which prevents the cable from
being accidentally removed.
2.5 Equipment Conditions of Use
The SmartSpark® system equipment is subject to the following conditions of use and limitations:
1. Only the Chentronics® C07000224 Power Cable may be used to power the exciter.
2. The power cable shall not be disconnected from the exciter until the power has been turned off for
at least 5 minutes.
3. Power shall not be applied to the power cable while it is disconnected.
4. The Power supply connection must not be disconnected when an explosive atmosphere is present.
The installer shall take precaution to prevent the unmated connector becoming live. Access to the
connector shall only be possible with the aid of a tool.
5. The equipment shall not be subjected to ambient temperatures greater than +85°C or less than
-40°C while operating.
6. The equipment’s igniter connections should not be connected or disconnected when the equipment
is in use (powered).
7. The equipment shall not be operated without an igniter attached.
8. Precautions to avoid electrostatic discharge from the non-metallic nameplate should be minimized
and considered by the end user. Please see Section 4.4 regarding earth bond requirements in this
manual.
2.6 Electrical Area Classification and Safety Markings
The SmartSpark (07000224) system has been assessed and complies with the following hazardous area
standards:

3.0 Installation Instructions
3.1 Igniter Installation
The SmartSpark® system is compatible with Chentronics® High Energy Igniters that have a Chentronics®
02 series connector. The equipment has been designed to work best with the system components listed
in Section 5.1.
To install the exciter, thread the igniter/extension rod male connector into the female 02 series connector
on the exciter and fully hand-tighten the two together. Repeat this step to connect the igniter to the
extension rod if an extension rod is used.
Figure 1: Igniter installation.
The igniter should be installed only while there is no power being supplied to the exciter.
3.2 Input Power Cable Installation
The SmartSpark® Input Power connector is only compatible with the Chentronics® C07000224 Power
Cable; the cable must be connected as shown in Figure 5, with the red dot on the exciter input connector
lining up with the red dot on the power cable connector.
Figure 2: Input power cable installation.
The power cable should be installed only when the cable is not energized. Once connected, the cable
should not be removed from the exciter until it has been de-energized for at least 5 minutes.

3.3 Installing the Exciter on a Burner
Fully insert the ignition rod into the burner’s igniter guide tube and secure the rod with a clamp or
compression fitting.
Figure 6: Exciter burner installation.
Note: For models with a knurled output, a clamp is recommended. For models without a knurled output, a
compression fitting is recommended.
3.4 Equipment Earth Bond Location
The equipment includes an earth bond stud just under the output rod as shown in Figure 8. Use a 12
AWG wire with a 1/4in ring terminal to connect the stud to earth, tightly securing the ring terminal
between the two nuts on the stud.
Figure 7: Earth bond location.

EXPLOSION HAZARD
POTENTIAL ELECTROSTATIC CHARGING HAZARD
Ensure the equipment is properly earth bonded before energizing to prevent a potential buildup of
electrostatic charge. A buildup of electrostatic charge can result in potential electrical arcing to earth,
which can ignite hazardous atmospheres or result in potential shock hazard from contact with the
equipment enclosure.
3.5 System Schematic Diagram
The following schematic block diagram describes equipment functionality. Inputs are noted in blue text
on the left, and outputs are located on the right.

4.0 System Operational Inputs and Outputs
The following functions illustrate the input and output functionality of the SmartSpark.
4.1 Applying Power to Equipment
To power the equipment, apply 100-240VAC 50/60Hz between wires L1 & L2, and connect the wire
labeled GROUND to earth ground. This will initiate sparking at the igniter tip.
EXPLOSION HAZARD
Do not separate any cables from the enclosure until the power has been disconnected for 5 minutes,
and do not energize the cable while it is disconnected from the enclosure.
STARTLING NOISE
Igniters can make a loud “snapping” or “popping” noise when fired. Anticipate this noise and warn others
to expect it before operating the equipment. Alert others in area before operating equipment.
4.2 Firing the Igniter
The igniter fires when power is connected to the exciter. See Section 5.1.

4.3 System LED Indicator
The SmartSpark® system is equipped with a blue LED indicator which will visually represent the
functionality of the Exciter circuit. The LED indicator is on the back of the exciter just above the “input
power” connector and flashes off steadily whenever a spark occurs. If the LED is off, it means that power
is not being applied to the exciter. If the LED is on and flashing at a constant rate, this means the igniter is
firing correctly. If the LED is on and flashing at an intermittent rate, it means the igniter tip is reaching end
of life and needs to be replaced. Finally, if the LED is on solid, it means the igniter tip has reached end of
life and must be replaced. See Table 1 for a quick reference.
