10 Electrical Information
A. Recommendation for Wire
This appliance requires
NOTE: This appliance must be electrically wired and grounded in accordance with local codes or, in the absence of local codes, with National Electric Code ANSI/NFPA
B. Connecting to the Appliance
C. Intellifire Ignition System Wiring
This appliance requires a 110 VAC supply to the appliance junction box for operation. A wiring diagram is shown in Figure 10.1.
This appliance is equipped with an Intellifire control valve which operates on a 3 volt system.
This appliance is supplied with a battery pack and a 3 volt AC transformer, which requires the installation of the sup- plied junction box. It is highly recommended that the junc- tion box be installed at this time to avoid reconstruction.
The battery pack requires two D cell batteries (not included).
WARNING
Wire 110V to electrical junction box.
Do NOT wire 110V to valve.
Do NOT wire 110V to wall switch.
•Incorrect wiring will damage millivolt valves.
•Incorrect wiring will override IPI safety lockout and may cause explosion.
•This appliance may be used with a wall switch, wall mounted thermostat and/or a remote control.
•If using thermostat use one compatible with a millivolt gas valve system.
•Follow parameters for locating thermostat (see individual thermostat instructions) to ensure proper operation of appliance.
•Use low resistance thermostat wire for wiring from ignition system to the wall switch and thermostat.
•Keep wire lengths short as possible by removing any excess wire length.
•Low voltage and 110 VAC voltage cannot be shared within the same wall box.
Note: Batteries cannot be placed in the battery pack while using the 3 volt AC transformer. The transformer must be unplugged if the battery pack is used or battery life will be reduced.
CAUTION
Battery polarity must be correct or module damage will occur.
Optional Accessories Requirements
Wiring for optional accessories should be done now to avoid reconstruction.
CAUTION
Label all wires prior to disconnection when servicing controls. Wiring errors can cause improper and dangerous operation. Verify proper operation after servicing.
WARNING
Shock hazard.
•Replace damaged wire with type 105º C rated wire.
•Wire must have high temperature insulation.
D. Wall Switch
Position the wall switch in the desired position on the wall. An assembly of 18 ft of 20 AWG is provided with the fireplace to connect the wall switch to the appliance. Instead of the supplied assembly, wire with a length of 25 ft or less and a gauge of 20 AWG through 14 AWG is acceptable. The wire needs a jacket with a temperature rating of 140º F (60º C) or higher. At the appliance con- nect the wire to the ON/OFF switch pigtails.
