Following are the application requirements of the G670 control. Application Requirements • The G670 can be used with equipment with a maximum firing rate of 117 kW (400,000 Btu/hr). Any application greater than 117 kW (400,000 Btu/hr) must have written approval in advance from the Heating Products Engineering Department.

When the pilot burner gas ignites, the pilot flame sensor detects the pilot flame and signals the G670 to energize the main gas valve and discontinue the spark. The main gas valve will not be energized until the flame sensor detects the presence of the pilot flame.
