The 35-70 is a 120 VAC direct spark ignition control for controlling a gas valve and igniting LP or natural gas fired equipment and gas burner applications that provide a 120 VAC operating signal.
?The microprocessor circuit design provides precise, repeatable timing sequences for ignition times and purge times (pre- and inter-) as well as multiple tries for ignition, one hour automatic reset and flame sensing during pre-purge. The on-board diagnostics with LED output provide assistance with trouble-shooting to ensure safe and efficient burner operation

Designed, developed and manufactured by Fenwal, these components integrate seamlessly providing maximum system performance.
To ensure proper system design and operation, Fenwal provides sample ignition controls, high-voltage wires and electrodes for trial and evaluation at no charge. To get you started quickly, Fenwal has identified our most popular ignition controls, see Page 8. Whether it is an individual control, complete start-up kit or customized control, Fenwal is ready to provide your gas ignition solution.
?Fenwal Ignition Development Center Send your equipment to us and we'll design, install and qualify a control to meet your exact application requirements. Fully equipped and staffed with trained technicians, the Fenwal Ignition Development Center has proven extremely beneficial for many customers focused on product quality and reducing time-to-market for their appliances.
120 VAC is supplied to the L1 terminal either from a thermostat or other control device. When this occurs, the control will power up and perform a self-check routine, flash the diagnostic LED for one second, then turn off and begin a pre-purge*, if selected. Following the pre-purge, the gas valve is energized and sparks com- mence until flame is detected or the Trial-for-Ignition (TFI) period expires.
When flame is detected, the spark is shut off and the gas valve remains energized. The thermostat and burner flame are constantly monitored to ensure that the system is functioning properly. When the thermostat is satisfied and the demand for heat ends, the gas valve is de-energized immediately and the flame is extinguished.
Fenwal controls are configured with several options for managing loss of flame. Failure during TFI Period SINGLE TRIAL MODEL Should the burner fail to light or flame is not detected during the TFI period, the gas valve is de-energized and the control will go into lockout mode. MULTI TRIAL MODEL Should the burner fail to light or flame is not detected during the first TFI period, the gas valve is de-energized and the control will attempt two additional ignition trials with inter-purge. If these attempts are unsuccessful, the control will go into lockout mode.
There are two methods for re-starting the burner after loss of established flame. The Re-ignition option is the default configuration for re-establishing flame and does not need to be specified when ordering. If the Recycle option is desired, please specify this when ordering so that a special part number is assigned to the control by Fenwal. RE-IGNITION If the established flame signal is lost, the control responds and begins sparking within 0.8 seconds of loss of flame. This is considered the first re-ignition attempt. The spark will be energized for the duration of the TFI period in an attempt to re-light the burner. If flame is re-established, normal operation resumes.
If the burner does not light after the first re-ignition attempt, the control will de-energize the gas valve and go into lockout mode. MULTI TRIAL MODEL
If the burner does not light after the first re-ignition attempt, the inter-purge sequence is completed between the next two attempts to re-light the burner. If the burner fails to light after the third attempt, the control will de-energize the gas valve and go into lockout mode.
RECYCLE If the established flame signal is lost, the control responds by shutting off the gas valve within 0.8 seconds.
SINGLE TRIAL MODEL The control will begin the ignition cycle with the pre-purge cycle, if a pre-purge cycle is programmed into the control. Controls without pre-purge immediately commence sparking for one TFI period. If flame is re-established, normal operation resumes. If the burner fails to light after the first try, the control will de-energize the gas valve and go into lockout mode.
MULTI TRIAL MODEL The control will begin the ignition cycle with the inter-purge sequence and attempt three tries for ignition including inter-purges. If flame is re-established, normal operation resumes. If the burner fails to light after the third try, the control will de-energize the gas valve and go into lockout mode.
NOTE: The Recycle feature option requires a special part number that is determined by contacting Fenwal.
After single or multiple attempts to light the burner have failed or flame is not established, the control automatically enters lockout mode. The control will not open the gas valve unless there is inter- vention by the user or one hour has passed depending on the model chosen. See Lockout Recovery.
There are two options for recovering from lockout mode. When selecting the control, please specify one of the following meth- ods for lockout recovery. 1. Thermostat/ Power Off Reset- requires the user to reset the thermo- stat below ambient temperature or remove the 120 VAC power supply for 5 seconds. The control will start the ignition sequence and attempt to light the burner again. 2. Automatic Reset - After one hour, if the thermostat is still calling for heat, the control will automatically start the ignition sequence and attempt to light the burner again
The 35-70 is not position sensitive and can be mounted vertically or horizontally. The control may be mounted on any surface and fastened with #6 sheet metal screws. Secure the control in an area that will experience a minimum of vibration and remain below the maximum ambient temperature of 80C (175F)
All connections should be made with ULapproved, 105C rated, 18 gauge, stranded, 0.054 in. thick insulated wire. Refer to the appropriate wiring diagram when connecting the 35-70 to other components in the system. High voltage spark cables and control wiring harnesses are detailed on Pages 5 and 6.
