INJURY AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.  
DESCRIPTION  
The 50A65-843 is an automatic gas interrupted ignition control that employs a  
microprocessor to continually monitor, analyze, and control the proper opera-  
tion 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.  
These controls incorporate system fault analysis for quick gas flow shut-off,  
coupled with automatic ignition retry upon sensing a fault correction.

recommended installation or service instructions to ensure  
proper operation.  
CAUTION  
Do not short out terminals on gas valve or primary  
control. Short or incorrect wiring may damage the  
thermostat.  
The 50A65 has only one serviceable part–an automotive type  
fuse, which protects the low voltage transformer from damage  
if its output is short-circuited. If the fuse has opened up, remove  
whatever caused the short circuit and replace the fuse with only  
a 3 Amp automotive type fuse. If the fuse is not the cause of the  
control’s problem, replace the entire 50A65 control. There are  
no other user serviceable parts.  
Additional jumper wires are included in this package and  
should be used if the original wiring does not reach the control  
after mounting. Refer to the furnace wiring diagram for proper  
connection of the wires.  
Some applications may require connection to terminal E33  
located in the middle of the contol cover. If the control being  
replaced does not have this connection, it is not needed in the  
application and connection to terminal E33 is not required.  
Trane application - Jumper wire 151-2906 (provided with  
control) must be installed on the furnace from R01 to R02 of the  
12-pin connector.

OPERATION  
OPTION SWITCHES  
The option switches on the 50A65-843 control are used to  
determine the length of the cool delay-to-fan-off, heat delay-to-  
fan-on and heat delay-to-fan-off periods. The following table  
shows the time periods that will result from the various switch  
positions.  
begins and the inducer blower remains energized to purge the  
system for 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 50A65 control goes  
into the “retry” sequence.  
The “retry” sequence provides a 60-second wait following an  
unsuccessful ignition attempt (flame not detected). After this  
wait, the ignition sequence is restarted again. If this ignition  
attempt is unsuccessful, one more retry will be made before the  
control goes into system lockout.

will operate normally if the gas supply returns, or the fault  
condition is corrected, before the last ignition attempt. Other-

HEAT MODE  
If the control has gone into system lockout, it may be possible to  
reset the control by a momentary power interruption of ten  
seconds or longer. Refer to SYSTEM LOCKOUT FEATURES.  
In a typical system, a call for heat is initiated by closing the  
thermostat contacts. This starts the 50A65 control’s heating  
sequence. The inducer blower and optional humidifier are  
energized and the 768A silicon nitride ignitor is powered within  
one second.  
COOL MODE  
This control has an adaptive algorithm that reduces the ignitor  
temperature to slightly greater than the minimum temperature  
required to ignite gas in each particular application. The control  
measures the line voltage and determines an initial ignitor  
temperature setting based on the measurement. After each  
successful ignition, the control lowers the ignitor temperature  
slightly for the next ignition attempt. The control continues to  
lower the ignitor temperature until ignition does not occur, and  
thecontrolgoesintoretrymode. Forthesecondattempttoignite  
gaswithinthesamecallforheat,thecontrolincreasestheignitor  
temperature to the value it was on the third previous successful  
ignition. After ignition is successful, the control sets the ignition  
temperature at this value for the next 255 calls for heat, after  
which the control repeats the adaptive algorithm. The control is  
constantly making adjustments to the ignitor temperature to  
compensate for changes in the line voltage.  
In a typical system, a call for cool is initiated by closing the  
thermostat contacts. This energizes the 50A65 control and the  
compressor. The cool delay-to-fan-on period begins. After the  
delay period ends, the optional electronic air cleaner is ener-  
gized, and the circulator fan is energized at cool speed. After the  
thermostat is satisfied, the compressor is de-energized and the  
cool mode delay-to-fan-off period begins. After the delay-to-fan-  
off period ends, the circulator fan and electronic air cleaner  
(optional) are de-energized.  
MANUAL FAN ON MODE  
If the thermostat fan switch is moved to the ON position, the  
circulatorfan(coolspeed)andoptionalelectronicaircleanerare  
energized. When the fan switch is returned to the AUTO posi-  
tion, the circulator fan and electronic air cleaner (optional) are  
de-energized.  
The 80 VAC Silicon Nitride ignitor manufactured by White-  
Rodgers must be used. These ignitors are specially designed  
to operate with the 50A65’s adaptive ignition routine to ensure  
the most efficient ignitor temperature.  
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, the circulator fan  
is energized at heat speed. If there is an optional electronic air  
cleaner on the system, the electronic air cleaner is also ener-  
gized. When the thermostat is satisfied, the gas valve is de-  
energized. After proof of flame loss, the delay-to-fan-off period

DIAGNOSTIC FEATURES  
SYSTEM LOCKOUT AND  
DIAGNOSTIC FEATURES  
The 50A65-843 control continuously monitors its own operation  
and the operation of the system. If a failure occurs, the LED will  
indicate a failure code as shown below. If the failure is internal  
to the control, the light will stay on continuously. In this  
case, the entire control should be replaced, as the control  
is not field-repairable.  
SYSTEM LOCKOUT FEATURES  
When system lockout occurs, the gas valve is de-energized, the  
circulator blower is energized at heat speed, and, if flame is  
sensed, the inducer blower is energized. The diagnostic indica-  
tor light will flash or glow continuously to indicate system status.  
(System lockout will never override the precautionary fea-  
tures.)  
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).  
To reset the control after system lockout, do one of the  
following:  
1 flash, then pause  
System lockout
