Table 2. Recommended Grounding Practices.
Ground Type
Recommended Practice
Earth ground (subbase and relay module).
1. Use to provide a connection between the subbase and
the control panel of the equipment. Earth ground must be
capable of conducting enough current to blow the 20A fuse
(or breaker) in the event of an internal short circuit.
2. Use wide straps or brackets to provide minimum length,
maximum surface area ground conductors. If a leadwire
must be used, use 14 AWG copper wire.
3. Make sure that mechanically tightened joints along the
ground path are free of nonconductive coatings and pro-
tected against corrosion on mating surfaces.
Signal ground (KDM, Data ControlBus Module™
Use the shield of the signal wire to ground the device to the
signal ground terminals [3(c)] of each device. Connect the
shield at both ends of the chain to earth ground.

The relay module must have an earth ground providing a connection between the subbase and the control panel or the
equipment. The earth ground wire must be capable of conducting the current to blow the 15A fuse (or breaker) in event of an
internal short circuit. The relay module requires a low impedance ground connection to the equipment frame, which, in turn,
requires a low impedance connection to earth ground.

3. Make sure no subbase wiring is projecting beyond the
terminal blocks. Tuck in wiring against the back of the
subbase so it does not interfere with the knife blade
terminals or bifurcated contacts.
Mounting RM7800/RM7840
Relay Module (Fig. 5)
1. Mount the RM7800/RM7840 vertically on the Q7800
Subbase, or mount horizontally with the knife blade
terminals pointing downward. When mounted on the
Q7800A, the RM7800/RM7840 must be in an electrical
enclosure.
IMPORTANT
The RM7800/RM7840 must be installed with a
plug-in motion rather than a hinge action.
2. When mounting in an electrical enclosure, provide
adequate clearance for servicing, installation and
removal of the RM7800/RM7840, Keyboard Display
Module, flame amplifier, flame amplifier signal voltage
probes, electrical signal voltage probes, and electrical
connections.
4. Mount the RM7800/RM7840 by aligning the four
L-shaped corner guides and knife blade terminals with
the bifurcated contacts on the wiring subbase and
securely tighten the two screws without deforming the
plastic.
a. Allow an additional two inches below the
RM7800/RM7840 for the flame amplifier mounting.
b. Allow an optional three-inch minimum to both sides
of the RM7800/RM7840 for electrical signal voltage
probes.

allowing pilot-turn-down test and other burner
adjustments to be made. This activates a fifteen second
flameout timer that permits pilot flame adjustment
without nuisance safety shutdowns. The Run/Test
Switch is ignored during PFEP for the RM7800/
RM7840E,L if Terminals 8 and 9 or 9 and 21 are
jumpered.
The extreme right side of the first line is either blank or shows
a small arrow pointing to the second line followed by a
two-letter code (DI-Diagnostic Information, Hn-Fault History
Information, and EA-Expanded Annunciator). When the arrow
and two-letter code are displayed, it indicates the second line
is showing a selectable message submenu. The second line
displays selectable or preemptive messages.
5. During Run, the Run/Test Switch, when placed in the
TEST position, drives the firing rate motor to the Low
Fire position.
A selectable message supplies information for flame strength,
system status indication, system or self-diagnostics and
troubleshooting.
NOTE: When RM7800/RM7840 is switched to the Test
mode, it stops and holds at the next Run/Test Switch
point in the operating sequence. Make sure that the
Run/Test Switch is in the RUN position before
leaving the installation.
A preemptive message has parentheses around the message
and supplies a detailed message to support the sequence
status information. A preemptive message can also be a
lockout message. A preemptive message replaces a
selectable message to support the sequence status
information. It also replaces a selectable message after 60
seconds if it or a lockout message is available.
SETTINGS AND ADJUSTMENTS
Selectable Site-Configurable
Jumpers
Run/Test Switch
The RM7800/RM7840 has three site-configurable jumper
options, see Fig. 6 and Table 7. If necessary, clip the
site-configurable jumpers with side cutters and remove the
resistors from the Relay Module.
WARNING
Explosion Hazard.
Can cause serious injury or death.
Do not use the Run/Test switch during the Pilot Flame
Establishing Period for the RM7800/RM7840G,M
when using Direct Spark Function, because it turns on
the main gas valve, causing an accumulation of fuel in
the burner.
SELECTABLE CONFIGURATION JUMPERS
RUN/TEST SWITCH
The Run/Test Switch is located on the top side of the
RM7800/RM7840, see Fig. 6. The Run/Test Switch allows the
burner sequence to be altered as follows:
1. In Prepurge Drive To High Fire Position, the Run/Test
Switch, when placed in the TEST position, holds in
PREPURGE with the firing rate motor in the High Fire
position.
2. In the measured PREPURGE sequence, the Run/Test
Switch, when placed in the TEST position, causes the
PREPURGE timing to stop. The firing rate motor is in
the High Fire position.
3. In Prepurge Drive to Low Fire position, the Run/Test
Switch, when placed in the TEST position, holds the
burner sequence in PREPURGE with the firing rate
motor in the Low Fire position.
4. In PFEP, the Run/Test Switch, when placed in the TEST
position, stops the timer during the first eight seconds
when a ten second PFEP is selected or during the first
three seconds when a four second PFEP is selected,
