Glowfly Q3200U Installation Instructions

Q3200U/Q3205U UNIVERSAL HOT SURFACE IGNITER KIT
69-2334EF—01 2
3. This product is intended for installation by a trained
and experienced service technician. If a service tech-
nician is not available, the individual installing this
product must be knowledgeable in the design, con-
struction, and operation of the gas fired appliance
being serviced.
4. After installation is complete, check out appliance
operation as provided in these instructions.
WARNING
Fire or Explosion or Electrical Shock Hazard.
Can cause severe injury, death or property
damage.
1. Never install where water can flood, drip or
condense on the igniter or its controller.
2. Liquefied petroleum (LP) gas is heavier than air
and will not naturally vent upward.
— Do not operate electric switches, lights, or
appliances until you are sure the appliance area
is free of gas.
3. Disconnect power supply before beginning
wiring or making wiring connections to prevent
electrical shock or equipment damage.
4. The Q3200/Q3205 is NOT designed to replace
silicon carbide hot surface igniters in residential
gas ovens or residential clothes dryers. Use of
this product in a residential gas oven or
residential gas clothes dryer can result in severe
injury, death, or property damage.
Remove the old igniter assembly
1. Turn off electrical power supply external to the appli-
ance.
2. Turn off gas supply to the appliance.
3. Set thermostat to the lowest setting or OFF.
4. Remove the appliance panel to expose the burner
area. If necessary remove the burner box panel to
expose the installed igniter.
5. Disconnect the installed igniter from the appliance
wiring harness and move the wiring harness out of
the way.
6. Carefully review the location of the installed igniter
in the appliance. Pay attention to where the igniter is
located relative to the burners and other parts of the
appliance. This will help confirm the location of the
new igniter for installation.
7. Locate and remove the screw(s) holding the
installed igniter or igniter bracket assembly in place.
Remove the installed igniter very carefully to avoid
damaging it. Retain the screw(s) for re-installation.
NOTE: If there is an orange rubber gasket on the original
metal bracket, carefully remove the gasket from
the original bracket and use it with the Q3200 or
Q3205 bracket E to support the replacement.
Select the proper Q3200U/Q3205U
bracket
1. Use the cross reference table to determine which
igniter models are recommended for replacement.
See Table 1 on page 5.
2. Using the bracket selection templates (Fig. 2 and
Fig. 3), the cross reference (Table 1), and the original
igniter assembly, place the igniter on the templates
to confirm which bracket to use for this installation.
NOTES:
1. Each of the six brackets has a letter stamped
on it (A through E) for easy identification.
2. If bracket A is selected, use pliers to remove
either Tab 1 or Tab 2 at the score line per the
bracket template directions.
3. If bracket E is selected, ensure that the original
orange gasket (if present) is reused.
3. Install the Universal igniter into the selected bracket
using the provided thread forming screw.
NOTE: In some appliance applications, installation may
be easier if the bracket is installed in the appli-
ance first, then the igniter added to the bracket.
As the thread forming screw for the bracket takes
some force for initial tightening, start the screw in
the bracket to set the threads, remove the screw,
attach the bracket to the appliance using the
original screw(s), and then attach the igniter and
its thread forming screw to the bracket.
Install the replacement igniter
1. Carefully position the replacement igniter and
bracket assembly into the appliance. Position the
assembly so the existing mounting screw holes align
with the mounting holes or slots in the replacement
assembly.
2. Secure the replacement igniter bracket with the
original igniter screws. The Q3200/Q3205 brackets
are designed with the capability to make minor
adjustments in the igniter location. Use care to
adjust the igniter hot spot to a position where it will
light reliably.
NOTE: In some applications, a shorter screw may sim-
plify installation.
3. Orient the replacement igniter the same way as the
original igniter was positioned and secure it. Be sure
the igniter portion does not touch the appliance or
burners.
4. Carefully route the replacement igniter lead wires
away from the burner flame and any moving parts
on the combustion air blower in the appliance.
5. Locate the appliance igniter wiring harness. Clip off
the connector and strip both wires to 1/4 in. (6 mm).
6. Use the provided wire nuts to attach the igniter lead
wires to the appliance wiring harness. The igniter
lead wires can be cut shorter if desired. Strip them to
1/4 in. (6 mm) prior to attaching to the appliance
wire harness.
Check out the installation
1. Recheck location of the igniter bracket assembly and
lead wires to assure there is no interference and that
the lead wires will not be exposed to excessive heat
or moving parts when the appliance is firing.
2. Recheck the line voltage connections between the
igniter harness and the appliance wiring harness to
be sure they are secure. Assure that no bare wire is
exposed at this connection.
3. Turn the electrical power supply on, but leave the gas
supply off, and initiate a light off (call for heat) cycle.
Observe the hot surface igniter during the sequence
to confirm it gets hot and that there is sufficient
clearance between the igniter and other appliance
parts. Also confirm that the lead wire routing does
not interfere with appliance operation.
