Abstract
A control arrangement for a pilot ignition type fuel ignition system includes a first switch device which effects energization of a pilot valve at the start of an operating cycle to supply fuel to a pilot outlet for ignition to provide a pilot flame. The first switch device is enabled by a control circuit which in turn is enabled over a path provided by a second switch device. The second switch device is enabled by a flame sensing circuit when a pilot flame is established and operates to effect energization of a main valve and to interrupt the enabling path for the control circuit, and a further flame sensing circuit maintains the first switch device, and thus the pilot valve, operated following operation of the second switch device.
