Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between direct spark ignition (DSI) and intermittent pilot (IP)?

DSI lights the main burner directly with a spark; IP lights a pilot first, which then lights the main burner. Fenwal offers both with flame monitoring, retry, safety lockout and diagnostics.

Which voltages are available?

24VAC (Series 35-60/35-61/35-65…), 120VAC (35-70/35-703/35-75…), 230VAC (35-20/35-21…), 12VDC/24VDC (35-40/35-53…) and the modulating PIM® 24VAC (35-9X).
