GOLD CGs Gas-Fired Water Boiler — Boiler Manual How it works . . . Control module ① The control module responds to signals from the room thermostat, air pressure switch and boiler limit circuit to operate the boiler circulator, pilot burner, gas valve and inducer. When room thermostat calls for heat, the control module starts the system circulator and inducer. The control module runs the inducer long enough to purge the boiler fl ue passages, then opens the pilot valve and activates pilot ign
