Table 2. Recommended Grounding Practices.  
Ground Type  
Recommended Practice  
Earth ground (subbase and relay module).  
1. Use to provide a connection between the subbase and  
the control panel of the equipment. Earth ground must be  
capable of conducting enough current to blow the 20A fuse  
(
or breaker) in the event of an internal short circuit.  
2
. Use wide straps or brackets to provide minimum length,  
maximum surface area ground conductors. If a leadwire  
must be used, use 14 AWG copper wire.  
3
. Make sure that mechanically tightened joints along the  
ground path are free of nonconductive coatings and pro-  
tected against corrosion on mating surfaces.  
Signal ground (KDM, Data ControlBus Module™,  
Communications Interface ControlBus™ Module).  
Use the shield of the signal wire to ground the device to the  
signal ground terminals [3(c)] of each device. Connect the  
shield at both ends of the chain to earth ground.

Keyboard Display Module (VFD)  
The Keyboard Display Module (see Fig. 5) is provided with the  
RM7800 Relay Module (but is not required for operation) and  
is an option for the RM7840 Relay Module. The first line of the  
Vacuum Fluorescent Display (VFD) provides:  
3. In Prepurge Drive to Low Fire position, the Run/Test  
Switch, when placed in the TEST position, holds the  
burner sequence in PREPURGE with the firing rate  
motor in the Low Fire position.

.
In PFEP, the Run/Test Switch, when placed in the TEST  
position, stops the timer during the first eight seconds  
when a ten second PFEP is selected or during the first  
three seconds when a four second PFEP is selected,  
allowing pilot-turn-down test and other burner  
adjustments to be made. This activates a fifteen second  
flameout timer that permits pilot flame adjustment  
without nuisance safety shutdowns. The Run/Test  
Switch is ignored during PFEP for the RM7800/  
RM7840E,L if Terminals 8 and 9 or 9 and 21 are  
jumpered.  
Current status of the burner sequence (STANDBY,  
PURGE, PILOT IGN, MAIN IGN, RUN and POSTPURGE).

POSTPURGE) in minutes and seconds.  
Hold information (PURGE HOLD: T19).  
Lockout information (Lockout, Fault Code, Message and  
Sequence).  
The extreme right side of the first line is either blank or shows  
a small arrow pointing to the second line followed by a  
two-letter code (DI-Diagnostic Information, Hn-Fault History  
Information, and EA-Expanded Annunciator). When the arrow  
and two-letter code are displayed, it indicates the second line  
is showing a selectable message submenu. The second line  
displays selectable or preemptive messages.  
5. During Run, the Run/Test Switch, when placed in the  
TEST position, drives the firing rate motor to the Low  
Fire position.  
NOTE: When RM7800/RM7840 is switched to the Test  
mode, it stops and holds at the next Run/Test Switch  
point in the operating sequence. Make sure that the  
Run/Test Switch is in the RUN position before  
leaving the installation.  
A selectable message supplies information for flame strength,  
system status indication, system or self-diagnostics and  
troubleshooting.  
A preemptive message has parentheses around the message  
and supplies a detailed message to support the sequence  
status information. A preemptive message can also be a  
lockout message. A preemptive message replaces a  
selectable message to support the sequence status  
information. It also replaces a selectable message after 60  
seconds if it or a lockout message is available.

Establishing Period for the RM7800/RM7840G,M  
when using Direct Spark Function, because it turns on  
the main gas valve, causing an accumulation of fuel in  
the burner.  
The Run/Test Switch is located on the top side of the  
RM7800/RM7840, see Fig. 6. The Run/Test Switch allows the  
burner sequence to be altered as follows:  
1
.
In Prepurge Drive To High Fire Position, the Run/Test  
Switch, when placed in the TEST position, holds in  
PREPURGE with the firing rate motor in the High Fire  
position.  
In the measured PREPURGE sequence, the Run/Test  
Switch, when placed in the TEST position, causes the  
PREPURGE timing to stop. The firing rate motor is in  
the High Fire position.
