Review: Glorious Heat! - For the wiring, For the gas valve: MV, MV/PV, PV, and GND (Burner) on my old unit Are the same on the new unit, MV, MV/PV, PV, and GND. Then there is, 24V (1) and 24V (2) on my old unit The 24 V (1) and 24V (2) lines go to 24V (GND) and to TH-W on the new unit. (The 24V connector is not used.) Since 24V (1) and 24V (2) on the old unit are isolated and AC, I don't think it matters which to which, as long as one goes to 24V (GND), and one to TH-W, on the new unit. The new unit is more functional, in that it has a DIP selector switch (that I left alone) and an LED that blinks once the thermostat is calling for heat (which is when this new controller unit becomes powered.) Also, on my old unit, the spark connector was a spark plug type connector, and on this new unit it is a spade connector. No worries, they include a handy adapter with this control unit. After you hook it the up, make sure to slide the old orange spark plug insulator all the way down over the adapter and spade connector. This control unit also comes with an expansive manual (somewhat arcane though) and some handy information stickers to put on your furnace. Knowing these things, it's easy to hook up, and it works! Some other things - the overall flame system consists of, The pilot assembly The controller (this unit) The gas valve. I replaced the pilot assembly first ($70) - didn't fix it. Then this controller ($100) - fixed it. Next, I would have replaced the gas valve ($150). This is a Residio unit, not Honeywell though.
Review: Really Works Great -- see my installation notes - Works Really Great -- Very Happy. I doubt I will ever need another one but if I did, I would re-purchase this one in a heartbeat. The Honeywell S8610U3009 Furnace Intermittent Pilot Control lights almost instantly on my system. Some heating systems have programed delays and it can do that too. Reasonably priced, looks like it might work on just about any furnace, check first before ordering, they sure have a long list of compatible Pilot Controls it can replace. I am just a home owner, no business affiliation with this product in anyway. Here is how I came to purchase it My 37 year old combination Carrier Air-conditioner/Heater's original Intermittent Pilot Control had failed, no spark. Our furnace is not used as much as some people would and I am relatively sure new units of today will not last that long, at least my neighbors did not. That exact Pilot Control part, is now manufacture discontinued. Carrier did have a catch your breath $400 new replacement part Carrier LH33CM600 that was on back order at the time. A bit desperate and not knowing about the Honeywell Control as I do now, I found a new Carrier LH33CM600 on e-bay for around $165, from memory. It was old stock but you could see it had never been installed. The Carrier unit made by UT Electronic Controls never worked very well and I never found a way to contact the UT manufacturer. Good news is, it lit the furnace but struggled a bit. I was able to reach Carrier’s technical support, they spoke with me but did not have answers to my technical questions, not how to install questions, nor did they have any suggestions. The new Carrier control worked through the coldest part of this winter and then failed. My Installation Notes I am not an expert, your situation certainly will be different, check with an expert first. Installation is a bit technical, more so for me on the Carrier part I first installed. Read all of the Honeywell instruction first. I might suggest taking a good clear color digital photo of your old units wiring before you start. Look inside your furnace or online first for a wiring diagram that might be helpful for identifying the wiring functions too. The high tension spark lead on my particular furnace was border line short on both of my replacement units but it worked with a bit of fiddling. In my case I also added a ground wire from the Pilot's assembly frame to the “GND” terminal for a good ground return path for flame rectification – Yours may already have one or certainly be different. In my system that’s how "SENCE" terminal detects flame rectification across the pilot flame when the flame is present. Again these are things I did on my system, not suggestions on how you should do your system. By all means don’t forget to turn off/disconnect all the power before working on your system.
