The Fenwal Controls Platform Ignition Module (PIM®) integrates the functions of Automatic Ignition Control with temperature regulating and control functions. The PIM is designed for a range of hydronic boilers including both staged systems and modulating types. The PIM can be configured as a direct spark ignition (DSI), intermittent pilot (IP) or Hot Surface Ignition (HSI) to provide safe lighting and supervision of the burners in an appliance. The PIM is also designed to connect to and receive commands from the tekmar®1 Host Controller. When connected to a Host Controller, the PIM offers expanded control functionality including Domestic Hot Water, outdoor reset, diagnostic messages, and other system capabilities.
Applications
The PIM and Host Controller system is suited to a wide variety of gas-fired hydronic heating systems including:
- High-efficiency Modulating Condensing Boilers
- Fan-assisted single and multi-staged Boilers
- Multiple Boiler Installations using intelligent sequencing
- Intermittent Pilot based Hydronic appliances
- Water Heaters
