9Installation and Set Up
10Installation of the S8910U
- Mount the module
- Do not mount with terminals facing up
- protect the module from exposure to water,
moisture, corrosive chemicals and excessive dust
and grease. - Install selection tab (personality plug-ins)
- The number of trials for ignition and trial time
is determined by the selection tabs. - Four selection tabs are included with the S8910U.
(A,B,C,D) - Without a selection tab, the module operates at
four-second trial time and one ignition. - Selection tabs A and B 4 seconds.
- Selection tabs C and D 7 seconds.
- Wire the module
- Use diagrams in installation instructions for
wiring
11Selection Tab Installation
- See Tables 1 through 3 in installation
instructions (Form 68-1061) for correct tab
selection. - Select and Install the correct tab, push firmly
in place and discard the remaining tabs.

16Troubleshooting of the S8910U
- LED shows system status for the current call for
heat - Pulsing heartbeat is the normal operating mode
during a call for heat (24V terminal is powered).
The system can be in any of the normal operating
modes including prepurge, warm-up, ignition
trial, between trial purge, or normal run. - One flash indicates the S8910U is in an ignition
lockout mode. The most probable cause is the main
burner failing to light or failure to detect the
flame. Run the appliance through a call for heat
and if the burner does not light, check the - gas supply
- input voltage
- hot surface igniter
- gas control
- Wiring
- If the main burner lights, but goes out at the
end of ignition trial, check the - igniter/sensor
- flame rod
- burner ground connections
- wiring
17Troubleshooting of the S8910U
- LED Continued
- Two flashes indicates the flame rectification
signal is weak. The most probable causes are - contaminated or mis-located igniter/sensor or
flame rod - poor flame sense lead-wire insulation or
connections - poor gas pressure
- If the flame rectification signal is strong when
the appliance lights, but weak while heat is
being delivered, check for overheating of the
igniter/sensor, flame rod ceramic or flame sense
leadwires. - Three flashes indicate an internal error. The
most probable cause is an S8910U logic failure.
Start a new call for heat and if the three-flash
signal returns, replace the S8910U.

22The S8910U Advantage
- When promoting the S8910U keep these advantages
in mind - The S8910U replaces over 100 Honeywell and
competitors ignition modules reduces inventory
by stocking one versus many and saves time and
money looking for the right part. - Easy to use instructions and adaptation
accessories saves the contractor valuable time
and resources. - Personality Plug-Ins - match the ignition
sequence of the model being replaced using the
plug in selector tabs for a true Universal
replacement. - The S8910 is application flexible and can be used
with single rod or dual rod systems, and natural
or LP gas. - The diagnostic LED makes troubleshooting simple,
identifying ignition lockout, flame rectification
signal and control failure, solving the problem
quickly and satisfying the customer.
