BASO Gas Ignition Control Module

BASO Gas Ignition Control Modules: Precision, Safety, and Reliability

BASO Gas Products has been a trusted name in gas control technology since 1914, and nowhere is that expertise more apparent than in their line of ignition control modules. BASO gas ignition controls are well known throughout the industry for their high quality and reliability. Whether you are maintaining a residential furnace, a commercial boiler, or industrial gas-fired equipment, BASO offers an ignition control module engineered for the task.

A Full Spectrum of Ignition Control Technologies

BASO's lineup includes Intermittent Pilot, Spark Transformer, and Direct Spark ignition gas modules to control the operation of gas valves. Each module type is purpose-built for specific burner configurations, giving technicians and OEMs the flexibility to choose the right control for every application.

• Intermittent Pilot Ignition (IPI): BASO Intermittent Pilot Gas Ignition/Flame Relay Controls are microprocessor-based controls suited for new or replacement heating applications using LP or Natural Gas. The microprocessor provides reliable software control of all timings and operates a diagnostic LED for troubleshooting. The control delivers ignition sequence, flame monitoring, and safety shut-off for all intermittent pilot heating units.
• Direct Spark Ignition (DSI): BASO Direct Spark Gas Ignition/Flame Relay Controls are microprocessor-based controls suited for new or replacement heating applications using LP or Natural Gas. The microprocessor continuously and safely monitors direct burner ignition and supervision at the gas burner. Added features such as LED diagnostics for troubleshooting, ignition sequence, full-time flame sensing, and flame sense test pins highlight the control's benefits.
• Hot Surface Ignition (HSI): The BASO BGH Series hot surface ignition module is microprocessor-based with timed ignition sequences, suited for new or replacement gas-fired heating appliances. These controls can be used for agricultural equipment, space heaters, furnaces, residential and commercial boilers, water heaters, pool and spa heaters, and a variety of commercial cooking equipment.
• Dual Spark/Sense: The dual spark unit is designed with a 24 VAC microprocessor to safely monitor two gas burners continuously. A diagnostic three-color LED indicates whether the controller is operating normally or provides error codes for troubleshooting situations.

The C610U: A Universal Replacement Standard

One of BASO's most versatile ignition control modules is the C610U series. The C610U is a dual microprocessor-based intermittent pilot ignition control that provides reliable software control of all timings, ignition sequences, flame monitoring, a diagnostic LED for troubleshooting, and safety shut-off for intermittent applications. Its broad compatibility is a major advantage in the field: this control replaces many BASO, Johnson Controls, Honeywell, Fenwal, White Rodgers, ICM, and Robertshaw intermittent pilot gas ignition/flame relay controls. The module is DIP Switch selectable and comes preprogrammed with 28 of the most popular timings, dramatically simplifying retrofits and service calls. Its operating temperature range spans -40° to 176°F, and the PC board is conformal-coated to operate in non-condensing environments up to 95% relative humidity.

100% Tested, Warranted, and Built to Last

All BASO products come with a warranty and are 100% tested for quality. BASO has been serving customers since 1914, exceeding expectations in product reliability and delivery. For HVAC professionals, equipment manufacturers, and service technicians, that track record translates directly into confidence on every installation. The BGH hot surface control includes a 5-position DIP switch allowing up to 32 programmable predefined timing selections to retrofit other hot surface ignitions with flame sensing rectification, such as Johnson Controls, Honeywell, White-Rodgers, Fenwal, and Robertshaw.
