IGNITION TRANSFORMER
PRODUCT HANDBOOK

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
The applicable regulations must be observed when
mounting the device and carrying out the electrical
connections. Particular attention must be given to
method used to install the H.T. cables. Avoid
unnecessary lengths, sharp bends over hard edges,
extremely high temperatures etc., any of which could
give rise to reduced performance or possible problems.
The length of power line is about 0.5 m, connect the
wires with their terminals: brown-live wire, blue-null wire,
yellow/green-ground wire.
For trouble-free operation, the correct spark gap at the
ignition electrodes must be observed, supply voltage
reductions of minus 15% and low as well as high
ambient temperatures can give rise to problems The
positioning of the H.T. ignition cables with regard to TV
and radio interference is also extremely important. The
cables should be kept short, run as close together as
possible and should not cross or be in contact with any
other power cables or fittings. See "Technical data" for
INTRODUCTION recommended settings.

velocity. In addition to this, it generates the lowest
electromagnetic interferences of all known electronic
ignition devices, which is especially important if the
burner has to comply with EN 55014-2. ET serial
ignition transformer combines a low power consump-
tion with a low inrush current.
The operation must be intermittent ignition, work-cycle
