FIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZARD CAN CAUSE
PROPERTY DAMAGE, SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH
Follow these warnings exactly:
1. Disconnect power supply before wiring to
prevent electrical shock or equipment damage.
2. To avoid dangerous accumulation of fuel gas,
turn off gas supply at the appliance service
valve before starting installation, and perform
Gas Leak Test after completion of installation.
3. Do not bend pilot tubing at ignition system
control or pilot burner after compression fitting
is tightened, or gas leakage at the connection
can result.
4. Always install a sediment trap in gas supply
line to prevent contamination of ignition
system control.
LINE VOLTAGE CAN CAUSE PROPERTY DAMAGE,
SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH.
Never apply a jumper across or short any of the
terminals in the SV9540; SV9640 wiring harness.
This can damage the system transformer or the
control.
Follow the appliance manufacturer instructions if
available; otherwise, use these instructions as a guide.
Converting Ignition System Control from
Natural Gas to LP Gas Application (or LP
Gas to Natural Gas Application)
FIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZARD CAN CAUSE
PROPERTY DAMAGE, SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH
Do NOT attempt to convert step-opening models
(SV9540P/SV9542P; SV9640P/SV9642P).
Always change the main and pilot burner orifices
when converting from natural to LP gas or from
LP to natural gas. Follow appliance manufacturer
specifications and instructions carefully to
assure proper appliance conversion.
Ignition system controls are factory-set for natural (and
manufactured) or LP gas. Do not attempt to use an
ignition system control set for natural (manufactured)
gas on LP gas, or an ignition system control set for LP
gas on natural (manufactured) gas.
Ignition system controls with standard or slow opening
regulators (SV9540M,H; SV9640M,H) can be converted
from one gas to the other with a conversion kit (ordered
separately). Order part no. 393691 to convert from
natural (manufactured) to LP gas; order part no. 394588
to convert from LP to natural (manufactured) gas.
IMPORTANT
Ignition system controls with step-opening
regulators (SV9540P; SV9640P) CANNOT be
field-converted to LP or natural gas.
Install Adapters To Control
If adapters are being installed on the control, mount them
as follows:
Flanges
1. Choose the appropriate flange for your application.
2. Remove the seal over the ignition system control
inlet or outlet.
3. Make sure that the O-ring is fitted in the groove of
the flange. If the O-ring is not attached or missing,
do not use the flange.
4. With the O-ring facing the ignition system control,
align the screw holes on the ignition system con-
trol with the holes in the flange. Insert and tighten
the screws provided with the flange. See Fig. 1.
Tighten the screws to 25 inch-pounds of torque to
provide a gas-tight seal.
Fig. 1. Firmly fasten flange to valve, but do not
overtighten screws.
Bushings
1. Remove the seal over the ignition system control
inlet or outlet.
2. Apply a moderate amount of good quality pipe
compound to the bushing, leaving two end threads
bare. On an LP installation, use compound resis-
tant to LP gas. Do not use Teflon tape.
3. Insert the bushing in the ignition system control
and carefully thread the pipe into the bushing until
tight.
Complete the instructions below for installing the piping,
installing the control, connecting the pilot tubing and
wiring. Make sure the leak test you perform on the
control after completing the installation includes leak
testing the adapters and screws. If you use a wrench on
the valve after the flanges are installed, use the wrench
only on the flange, not on the control. See Fig. 5.
Location
The SV9540; SV9640 are mounted in the appliance
vestibule on the gas manifold.
IMPORTANT
These ignition system controls are shipped with
protective seals over the inlet and outlet tap-
pings. Do not remove the seals until ready to
connect the piping.
