This board is for JXiQ only. Some retailers list both boards against both heaters, which is wrong — Jandy's own manuals assign them to mutually exclusive models.

No power LED points at supply or the transformer; no RS-485 or user interface LED points at the UI or a harness; a lockout after three ignition attempts points at the igniter, the fuse or the gas train before the board.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the fuse included?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. Jandy supplies it separately as \u003cstrong\u003eR1009500\u003c\/strong\u003e, a fuse kit specifically for this board. A blown fuse is a common cause of a dead board and costs a small fraction of a replacement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs this for natural gas or propane?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth. One board covers the whole JXiQ family regardless of fuel — the fuel difference lives in the gas valve and orifices, not the controller.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes it fit the ASME version?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes.

The board is rated 120\/240 VAC at 5 A, 50\/60 Hz. The heater's voltage selector board, which sits next to it, is what sets the configuration — do not disturb it while changing the controller.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I fit it myself?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. This is a gas-safety control carrying line voltage inside a gas-fired appliance.

The board itself is marked R Kit # R0988700, revision H0774700 Rev C. Quote R0988700 when you cross-reference it against your heater manual, the board currently fitted, or a parts diagram.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do I confirm this fits my equipment?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRead the part number off the board currently installed and check that your heater's data plate reads JXiQ rather than JXi.

Gas heating equipment sits under specific code requirements, and this is a line-voltage gas-safety control inside that appliance. Shut off the gas and cut power at the breaker before opening the heater, and have a licensed professional carry out the work — Jandy's warranty requires it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs there a warranty on this part?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Jandy's Limited Warranty covers purchased replacement parts for ninety days from the date of retail purchase. Jandy's exclusion for products bought online specifically carves out parts, so buying this online does not remove the cover.
