Intermittent Pilot Ignition Module

The Robertshaw 780-845 is an intermittent pilot ignition module designed for gas-fired HVAC equipment. It operates on a 24 V supply and manages the ignition sequence for heating systems. The control provides automatic reset after a one-hour lockout period.

Suitable for gas furnace and boiler repairs

This module suits technicians replacing a failed intermittent pilot control on compatible equipment. It is not for installers needing a direct spark or hot surface ignition system. Buyers requiring a different lockout timing or valve current rating should verify specifications before purchasing.

90-second ignition cycle with three retries

The control attempts ignition for 90 seconds per cycle and allows up to three retries before lockout. A six-minute pre-purge precedes each trial. This timing sequence determines compatibility with the appliance safety requirements.

Questions about this item

What comes with the Robertshaw 780-845 module and is a separate flame sensor required?

The module is supplied as a single ignition control unit; a compatible flame sensor must be purchased separately to complete the intermittent pilot system.

How do I decide between the 90-second lock-out and the 6-minute pre-purge timing for my furnace?

The 90-second lock-out is the safety shut-off after failed ignition attempts, while the 6-minute pre-purge runs before each trial; both are fixed timings on this model, not selectable options.

What does the 0.7 mA flame sensor current mean when the module is installed in a live HVAC system?

It is the minimum current the module must detect from the flame rod to confirm burner ignition; if the measured current falls below 0.7 mA the control will lock out after three retries.
