Relay Module 120V Semi-Automatic Burner Sequencing with VPS Capability

The Honeywell RM7838B2021 is a microprocessor-based primary burner control for use in semi-automatic burner systems operating on gas, oil, or combination fuels. It is designed for interrupted pilot systems and includes integrated Valve Proving System (VPS) functionality to verify the integrity of fuel shutoff valves prior to burner ignition. This model offers automatic sequencing, flame supervision, and enhanced system diagnostics, making it ideal for commercial and industrial burner applications requiring added safety and manual start input.
