Abstract (en)

A heating appliance typically for a gas hot water boiler or a gas central heating system comprises a pilot gas valve 19 for supplying gas to a pilot gas burner (not shown), a main gas valve 20 for supplying gas to a main gas burner (not shown), an ignition device 21 for igniting the gas of the pilot gas burner, a flame detector circuit 9 for detecting the presence of a flame on the pilot gas burner, and a control circuit for controlling the operation thereof, the control circuit including a resistive/capacitive timing circuit (11,12 etc.) which operates in conjunction with a comparator 15 and a reference signal to afford a pre-ignition timing function for self-checking purposes and which operates in conjunction with the comparator 15 and a changed reference signal for affording an ignition period for igniting the pilot gas burner 19 which, if exceeded, causes a system lockout to occur which prevents gas flow to the pilot gas burner 19 and main gas burner 20. <IMAGE>
