VK41../VK81..SERIES
GAS CONTROLS FOR COMBINED VALVE AND IGNITION SYSTEM
APPLICATION
The Combined Valve and Ignition (CVI) system has been
developed for application in gas fired domestic central heating
boilers, combi boilers and warm air furnaces or water heater
appliances with an automatic ignition system.
For this system, the VK41../VK81.. series gas controls have
been designed to have the S4565/S4575/S4585 series
ignition control attached directly on to the valve.
The combined system then provides programmed safe light
up, flame supervision and regulation of gas flow to the main
burner and/or pilot burner of the appliance.
The VK41.5/VK81.5 series gas controls (without pilot outlet)
can also be used alone in direct burner ignition applications.
A plug (order number 45.900.441- ) with integrated rectifier
circuit then has to be used on the gas control.

DESCRIPTION
Valves
The Combined Valve and Ignition (CVI) system controls and
performs all the functions required for safe ignition, flame
supervision and for safely regulating the gas flow to the pilot
and/or main burner.
The CVI consists of a gas valve of the VK41../VK81.. series
and a dedicated ignition control of the series S4565/S4575/
S4585 which is connected directly on to it.
The gas control comprises a standard body to which a range
of features can be factory included to give various functional
options. These functional options include: servo pressure
regulation, throttle valve regulation, fully adjustable SOFTLITE,
gas/air control 1:1 or amplified, electrical high-low or
modulating control to fulfil the complete range of control
applications.
The gas control has a first direct on/off operator for opening
the safety valve of class B according to EN 161 and a second
electric on/off servo operator for control of the main valve of
class B,C or J according to EN 161 (for explanation class J,
see chapter Standards and approvals page 30).
The pressure regulator is in accordance with class B
requirements of EN 88
The gas control can handle the three gas families,
manufactured gas, natural gas and LP gas.

APPLICATION
The VK41.. /VK81..series gas control have been specially
developed for application in domestic appliances.
The VK41.. series gas control can be used in a system in
conjunction with a S4565, S4575 or S4585 series ignition
control to provide an optimised safety sub-system for
programmed safe light-up and flame supervision of the main
burner.
When connected with a Honeywell specified rectifier plug and
lead the VK4105 series valve can be used with any standard
220/240 Vac DBI ignition system.
VK81.. series gas controls for 24 Vrac have been developed
for application with other ignition controls with appropriate
power supply.

However, the maximum inlet pressure is limited by the
pressure range of the pressure regulator concerned.
(See table 2.)
*This type can also be used for non regulation mode in LP

clockwise turned down until it stops.
Versions up to 100 mbar maximum inlet pressure are available
on request
Mounting holes
Two mounting holes for thread forming M4 screws are located
on the bottom of the gas control.
For versions with external thread there are two additional

PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS
Maximum allowable leakage
Each gas control is factory tested to meet the following
leakage requirements:
•outerwall: 50 cm3/h at test pressure of 150 mbar.
•safety valve: 40 cm3/h at test pressure of 6 and 150 mbar.
•main valve (plus operator inlet valve): 40 cm3/h at test
pressure of 6 and 150 mbar.
Outlet pressure adjustment range capability
Manuf./Natural/LP gas:
1.5 ... 20 mbar
2 ... 37 mbar with block function up to 50 mbar
LP gas: 5 ... 60 mbar.
Minimum adjustable capacity
For versions with a throttle valve (suffix E/T/VE) the minimum
adjustable capacity is 0.6 m3/h air at ∆P of 20 mbar.
Pilot flow
Pilot flow capacity is more than 0.1 m3/h at 9 mbar
pressure drop.
Recovery time of servo system
The recovery time of the adjustable SOFTLITE system in
minimum position is within 15 seconds from operator
de-energization and in maximum position the recovery time
shall be within 30 seconds from operator de-energization.
High pressure test
In the ”OFF” condition, the gas control will withstand 3 bar (air)
inlet pressure without damage. Attempts to operate the gas
control, while in this fault condition will not damage it.
Operable voltage range
The gas control will function satisfactory between 85% and
110% of the rated voltage.
.
Valve closing characteristics
The gas control will close within 1 second from operator de-
energization, (at an inlet pressure of 22.5 mbar and minimal
2.5 mbar pressure drop).
Main valve opening characteristics (measured with gas)
Fast opening versions
Under conditions where the supply pressure is at least 2.5
mbar above the outlet pressure setting, the dead time shall be
0.5 s maximum.
The outlet pressure will reach 80% of the rated flow within 1
second from start of flow.
Full outlet pressure will be reached within 5 seconds.
SOFTLITE versions (See table 13)
The adjusted outlet pressure will be reached between 5 and
15 seconds from start of flow (for LP gas between 4 and 10
seconds)
Adjustable SOFTLITE
NOTE: For SOFTLITE versions the SOFTLITE pressure can be
adjusted from the rated SOFTLITE up to the desired
value.
