DESCRIPTION  
The 50A55-474 and 50A55-571 are automatic gas inter-  
rupted ignition controls that employ a microprocessor to  
continually monitor, analyze, and control the proper op-  
eration of the gas burner, inducer, and fan.  
Signals interpreted during continual surveillance of the  
thermostat and flame sensing element initiate automatic  
ignition of the burner, sensing of the flame, and system  
shut-off during normal operation.  
Thesecontrolsincorporatesystemfaultanalysisforquick  
gas flow shut-off, coupled with automatic ignition retry  
upon sensing a fault correction.

To prevent electrical shock and/or equipment  
damage, disconnect electric power to system at  
main fuse or circuit breaker box until installation  
is complete.  
Application of this type of control may cause  
flame rollout on initial start-up and could cause  
personal injury and/or property damage.  
Replace only with exact model number, includ-  
ing dash number. Failure to use exact replace-  
ment control could cause personal injury and/or  
property damage.  
Label all wires prior to disconnection when ser-  
vicing controls. Wiring errors can cause im-  
proper and dangerous operation.  
This control is not intended for use in locations  
where it may come in contact with water. Suit-  
able protection must be provided to shield the  
control from exposure to water (dripping, spray-  
ing, rain, etc.).

INSTALLATION  
MOUNTING AND WIRING  
WARNING  
NOTE  
All wiring should be installed according to local and  
national electrical codes and ordinances.  
!
Do not use on circuits exceeding specified volt-  
age. Higher voltage will damage control and  
could cause shock or fire hazard.  
The control must be secured to an area that will experi-  
ence a minimum of vibration and remain below the maxi-  
mum ambient temperature rating of 175°F. The control is  
approved for minimum ambient temperatures of -40°F.  
Any orientation is acceptable.  
CAUTION  
!
Refer to the wiring diagram and wiring table when con-  
necting the 50A55 control to other components of the  
system.  
UL approved, 105°C rated 18 gauge, stranded, 264” thick  
insulation wire is recommended for all low voltage safety  
circuit connections. Refer to 50A55 specification sheet  
for recommended terminals to mate with those on the  
control.  
To prevent electrical shock and/or equipment  
damage, disconnect electric power to system at  
main fuse or circuit breaker box until installation  
is complete. Failure to earth ground the appli-  
ance or reversing the neutral and hot wire con-  
nection to the line can cause shock hazard.  
Shut off main gas to heating system until instal-  
lation is complete.

OPERATION  
OPTION SWITCHES  
Upon a call for heat, if the warm-up time has not been  
locked, it will be decreased by one second. This reduction  
of the ignitor on-time will continue until flame fails to be  
achieved (resulting in a retry).  
(50A55-474 only)  
Theoptionswitchesonthe50A55-474controlareusedto  
determine the length of the cool delay-to-fan-off and heat  
delay-to-fan-off periods. The following tables show the  
time periods that will result from the various switch posi-  
tions.  
In the event of a retry, the warm-up time will be increased  
by two seconds and locked at that duration. Once the  
warm-up time is locked, it remains fixed until another call  
for heat results in a retry, in which case, the warm-up time  
is again increased by two seconds and remains locked.  
OPTION SWITCH POSITIONS  
In the event of two successive retry attempts, the warm-  
up time will be unlocked and set to 21 seconds. If flame is  
then achieved, the warm-up time will begin adapting  
again with the next call for heat. If, however, this third  
attempt fails to achieve flame, the control will go into  
system lockout.

At the end of the ignitor warm-up time, both valves in the  
36E manifold gas valve are opened. Flame must be  
detected within 4 seconds. If flame is detected, the delay-  
to-fan-on period begins. After the delay-to-fan-on period  
ends, thecirculatorfanisenergizedatheatspeed. Ifthere  
is an optional electronic air cleaner on the system, the

stat is satisfied, the gas valve is de-energized. After proof  
of flame loss, the delay-to-fan-off period begins and the  
inducerblowerremainsenergizedtopurgethesystemfor  
5 seconds. When the purge is complete, the inducer  
blower and humidifier are de-energized. After the delay-  
to-fan-off period ends, the circulator fan and electronic air  
cleaner are de-energized. If flame is not detected, both  
valves are de-energized, the ignitor is turned off, and the  
50A55 control goes into the “retry” sequence.

OPTION JUMPER  
(50A55-571 only)  
The option jumper on the 50A55-571 control is used to  
determine the length of the cool delay-to-fan-off period.  
The following table shows the time periods that will result  
from the various jumper conditions.  
The “retry” sequence provides a 60-second wait following  
an unsuccessful ignition attempt (flame not detected).  
After this wait, the ignition sequence is restarted with 2  
seconds of ignitor warm-up time. If this ignition attempt is  
unsuccessful, one more retry will be made before the  
control goes into system lockout.

After ten unsuccessful “recycle” attempts, the control will  
go into system lockout.  
HEAT MODE  
In a typical system, a call for heat is initiated by closing the  
thermostat contacts. This starts the 50A55 control’s heat-  
ing sequence. The inducer blower and optional humidifier  
are energized and the ignitor is powered within one  
second.  
If flame is established for more than 10 seconds after  
ignition, the50A55controllerwillcleartheignitionattempt  
(or retry) counter. If flame is lost after 10 seconds, it will  
restart the ignition sequence. This can occur a maximum  
of 11 times before system lockout.  
These controls have an adaptive algorithm that adjusts  
the duration of the ignitor warm-up for the purpose of  
extendingignitorlife. Uponinitialapplicationofpower, the  
warm-up time is 17 seconds. The ignitor on-time will then  
be increased or decreased depending on whether or not  
flame is achieved. The warm-up time is limited to a  
maximum of 21 seconds. During the first 64 warm-up  
periods following power-up, the warm-up time may not be  
less than 17 seconds.  
Duringburneroperation, amomentarylossofpowerof50  
milliseconds or longer will de-energize the main gas  
valve. When power is restored, the gas valve will remain  
de-energized and a restart of the ignition sequence will  
begin immediately.  
A momentary loss of gas supply, flame blowout, or a  
shorted or open condition in the flame probe circuit will be  
sensed within 2.0 seconds. The gas valve will de-ener-  
6
gize and the control will restart the ignition sequence. A  
recycle will begin and the burner will operate normally if  
the gas supply returns, or the fault condition is corrected,  
before the last ignition attempt. Otherwise, the control will  
go into system lockout.  
DIAGNOSTIC FEATURES  
The 50A55 control continuously monitors its own opera-  
tion and the operation of the system. The LED light on the  
control will flash slowly (one flash per second) if there are  
no failures and no call for heat. If there is a call for heat,  
the LED will flash quickly (one flash per half-second). If a  
failure occurs, the LED will indicate a failure code as  
shownbelow. Ifthefailureisinternaltothecontrol, the  
light will stay on continuously. In this case, the entire  
control should be replaced, as the control is not field-  
repairable.IftheLEDiscontinuouslyoff,theremaybeno  
power to the control; the fuse on the control may be open;  
or there may be a failure in the control.  
If the control has gone into system lockout, it may be  
possible to reset the control by a momentary power  
interruption of one second or longer. Refer to SYSTEM  
LOCKOUT FEATURES.  
COOL MODE  
In a typical system, a call for cool is initiated by closing the  
thermostat contacts. This energizes the 50A55 control.  
The compressor and optional electronic air cleaner are  
energized, and the circulator fan is energized at cool  
speed. After the thermostat is satisfied, the compressor is  
de-energized and the (optional) cool mode delay-to-fan-  
offperiodbegins.Aftertheoptionaldelay-to-fan-offperiod  
ends, the circulator fan and electronic air cleaner (op-  
tional) are de-energized.  
If the sensed failure is in the system (external to the  
control), the LED will flash in the following flash-pause  
sequences to indicate failure status (each flash will last  
approximately 0.25 seconds, and each pause will last  
approximately 2 seconds).  
2 flashes, then pause Systemlockout(noflame)/check  
line polarity  
3 flashes, then pause Pressure switch problem  
4 flashes, then pause Thermal protection device open  
5 flashes, then pause Flame sensed with gas valve off  
6 flashes, then pause 115 Volt AC power reversed  
7 flashes, then pause Gas valve circuit error  
8 flashes, then pause Low flame sense signal  
MANUAL FAN ON MODE  
If the thermostat fan switch is moved to the ON position,  
the circulator fan (heat speed) and optional electronic air  
cleaner are energized. When the fan switch is returned to  
the AUTO position, the circulator fan and electronic air  
cleaner (optional) are de-energized.  
The LED will also flash once at power-up.  
SYSTEM LOCKOUT AND  
DIAGNOSTIC FEATURES  
SYSTEM LOCKOUT FEATURES  
When system lockout occurs, the gas valve is de-ener-  
gized, the circulator blower is energized at heat speed,  
and, if flame is sensed, the inducer blower is energized.  
The diagnostic indicator light will flash or glow continu-  
ously to indicate system status. (System lockout will  
never override any precautionary features.)  
Toresetthecontrolaftersystemlockout, dooneofthe  
following:  
1. Interrupt the call for heat or cool at the thermostat for  
at least one second but less than 20 seconds (if flame  
is sensed with the gas valve de-energized, interrupt-  
ing the call for heat at the thermostat will not reset the  
control).  
2. Interrupt the 24 VAC power at the control for at least  
one second. You may also need to reset the flame  
rollout sensor switch.
