DESCRIPTION Input Power Control: 18 to 30 VAC 50/60 Hz
(Class 2 Transformer)
The 35-65 is a 24 VAC hot surface ignition (HSI) control
designed for use in all types of gas-fired appliances. The control Line Voltage Line: 24, 120 or 240 VAC
(L1 and L2 only)
uses a microprocessor to continually and safely monitor, analyze
and control the proper operation of a gas burner. On-board Input Current 300 mA max @ 24 VAC with gas
diagnostics with LED output makes troubleshooting easy and valve relay energized (control
ensures safe and efficient operation. only)
Gas Valve 2.0A max @ 24 VAC
