Robertshaw 785-001 Pilot Relight Control
The Robertshaw 785-001 Pilot Relight Control is a field-proven 24/120V automatic pilot kit designed to provide immediate spark restoration in the event of a pilot flame outage. This solid-state 785 series module is the direct replacement for PR2412036W and is engineered for versatile application across rooftop heating units, commercial boilers, water heaters, and industrial space heaters. By delivering a consistent 15kV spark output at a low 0.1 Amp draw, this control ensures reliable ignition even in demanding environments. For service technicians, this kit simplifies troubleshooting and repair by including the necessary ignitor assembly and mounting hardware, designed to operate in extreme ambient temperatures ranging from -40°F to 185°F. If your current system faces frequent pilot dropouts due to wind or fluctuating gas pressure, upgrading to this Robertshaw pilot relight module provides the high-voltage performance required to maintain continuous equipment operation without repeated manual intervention.
Key Technical Benefits- Universal Voltage Compatibility: Supports dual-input 24/120V AC configurations, making it compatible with a wide array of residential and commercial control circuits.
- High-Intensity Spark: Features a 15kV ignition spark with a standard 1/8" gap to ensure rapid relighting in turbulent conditions.
- Rugged Environmental Rating: Rated for operation from -40°F to 185°F, making it ideal for unconditioned mechanical rooms and rooftop packaged units.
- Direct OEM Replacement: Serves as a drop-in replacement for PR2412036W, reducing installation time and ensuring electrical matching with existing gas valves and safety switches.
- Compact Form Factor: Includes a dedicated mounting bracket and terminal layout designed for streamlined integration into tight equipment vestibules.
What components are needed for a full Robertshaw 785-001 installation?
The 785-001 kit includes the control module and mounting bracket. For a complete field setup, you will typically require a 10-395 electrode assembly and a 1751-726 high voltage cable if the existing lead is damaged or brittle.
Is this module compatible with intermittent pilot systems?
This pilot relight control is specifically designed for systems that utilize a pilot burner to maintain a standing pilot. It monitors the presence of the pilot and provides spark until the pilot is re-established, provided the appropriate safety controls are in place.
Can the 785-001 handle varied electrical loads?
The module is rated for 0.1 Amps at 24/120V AC. Ensure your transformer or supply circuit is rated for this draw to prevent control board failure or nuisance tripping.
