France Transformer 98169 Igniter
The France Transformer 98169 is a reliable solid-state electronic igniter engineered specifically for demand-heavy gas heating applications. Delivering a precise 6000V secondary output from a standard 120V primary input, this 5SAY-09 model ensures immediate gas burner ignition even in cold-start environments. Its constant duty cycle design prevents the common failures associated with intermittent spark components, making it a rugged replacement for older electromagnetic transformers. For technicians managing commercial or residential boiler systems, its compact footprint allows for straightforward integration into existing control cabinets. The high-voltage transformer circuitry is fully encapsulated to resist moisture and vibration, maintaining stable performance throughout the heating season. When replacing a heating system igniter, ensuring compatible voltage and amperage draw is critical to protecting the flame safeguard controller. This unit provides the consistent arc required for efficient combustion and reduced soot buildup.
- Universal Compatibility: Designed to replace various 5SAY series and similar 6kV electronic igniters in gas-fired equipment.
- Thermal Resilience: Encapsulated windings protect internal components from high ambient temperatures and humidity.
- High-Voltage Precision: 6000V output provides a robust spark for reliable ignition across the burner electrodes.
- Efficient Power Consumption: Solid-state technology minimizes energy draw while maximizing secondary voltage output.
Common Questions
Can I use this electronic igniter to replace a traditional heavy iron-core transformer?
Yes, provided the secondary voltage (6000V) and primary input (120V) match your current specifications. Solid-state units like the 98169 offer a more consistent spark and a smaller physical profile.
What causes an electronic igniter to fail prematurely?
Most failures result from poor grounding, excessive ambient heat, or incorrect electrode gaps. Always check that the burner is properly grounded and the gap is set to the manufacturer's specification to prevent back-feed damage to the transformer.
Does this unit support both natural gas and propane applications?
The igniter is fuel-agnostic; its function is to provide the high-voltage arc. It is suitable for both natural gas and liquid propane systems as long as the burner control circuit matches the 120V primary requirement.
