Setting Flame Height/manifold pressure

(To be done by a qualified service technician). Upon initial power-up of this device, valve pressure must be set for flame adjustment.

Loosen output pressure tap on valve and connect with pressure manometer.

Press flame button once (Fig. 10.4); fireplace will light with flames on high.

Turn solenoid clockwise to increase pressure, counterclockwise to decrease pressure until manifold pressure on high is 3.5” water column for natural gas (NG), 10.0” water column for propane (LP).

Once pressure is achieved spin jam-nut on solenoid stem tight against regulator face to prevent rotation. Do not overtighten.

Press flame button twice to turn fireplace off.

Remove manometer tube and tighten or close pressure tap. Use a soap solution to carefully check the pressure tap for leaks.

Cold Climate Button

Button Press: Turns on Climate Control

Button Press: Turns off Climate Control

This allows the pilot flame to stay lit when activated, a benefit of this is reduced condensation on the glass at start-up in colder climate conditions.

Operation Under Battery Power

A switch on the control box allows for battery power under no-power conditions. See Figure 10.6. By controlling the power supply with this switch, the batteries are supplying power only when needed, thus extending battery life. The switch also provides a convenient means for switching to battery power should there be a loss of 110 VAC power to the control box.

In the event of a power failure, switch the battery operation switch to the “Battery ON” position.

The fireplace can now be turned on and off with the ON/ OFF rocker switch located near the gas valve.

The wall switch functions will not operate under battery power.

Under battery control the only available function is flame “On” and “Off” in the high position.

To maximize battery life, and to restore full function capability of the wall switch, flip switch to “OFF” position

after 120 VAC power is restored.
