Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2009136940A1] An ignition control and method are provided for overseeing an ignition process on a fuel-fired appliance having a fuel burner, a fuel flow control valve, an ignition source, and a flame detection device. A primary processor initiates the ignition process, monitors the flame status signal and terminates the ignition process in the presence of a flame status signal indicating no flame after a specified period of time following the initiation of the ignition process. A secondary processor monitors the flame status signal independently of the primary processor and terminates the ignition process in the event that the primary processor fails to terminate the ignition process in the presence of a flame status signal indicating no flame after a specified period of time following the initiation of the ignition process. The primary and secondary processors may each have the functional capability to monitor the operation of the other.
