OPERATION / MAINTENANCE

Purge all gas lines with the glass door open. Assure that a continuous gas flow is at the burner before closing the door. Allow several minutes (5-15) for the flame to stabi- lize after ignition.

TURBO BURNER OPERATION

AND MAINTENANCE

The purpose of the turbo burner is to increase heat output or BTUs of the unit and will only operate when the main burner is functioning. To turn the turbo burner on, simply depress the burner control knob (located in the valve com- partment at the left hand side below the piezo ignitor) and rotate the knob counter-clockwise to 'high'.

The turbo burner flame can be observed on the reflective surface in the back right corner of the firebox.

The burner flame height may now adjusted to achieve the heat output required. Because the flame is very efficient it will burn a very blue, almost transparent colour.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

To turn off the burner, rotate the control knob clockwise to 'high'; depress the knob and turn to 'off'.

The on-off switch is located on the back of the unit at the top left corner on models CDVS500 and CS500.

When lit for the first time, the fireplace will emit a slight odour for a few hours. This is a normal temporary condi- tion caused by the curing of the logs and the "burn-in" of internal paints and lubricants used in the manufac- turing process and will not occur again. Simply open a window to sufficiently ventilate the room. After extended periods of non-operation such as following a vacation or a warm weather season, the fireplace may emit a slight odour for a few hours. This is caused by dust particles in the heat exchanger burning off. Open a win- dow to sufficiently ventilate the room.

MODEL CS500 ONLY

SPILL SWITCH

This is a thermally activated switch, attached to the back of the chimney adapter, which senses the change in temperature and shuts down the gas valve in the event of a severe downdraft of air or a blocked or disconnected

vent. It acts as a safety shut-off to prevent a build up of carbon monoxide or an explosion of unburnt gases during start up. If the flue is

blocked or has no "draw", the spill switch will automatically shut off the supply of gas within about 5-10 minutes.

TAMPERING WITH THE SWITCH CAN RESULT IN CAR- BON MONOXIDE (CO) POISONING AND POSSIBLE DEATH.

VENTING ACTION CHECK: A CHECK FOR CORRECT VENTING ACTION MUST BE MADE BEFORE THE IN- STALLED STOVE IS LEFT WITH THE CUSTOMER. Test in the following manner:

1.Close all doors and windows in

the room / start exhaust fans in the

home / turn fireplace blower off (if

equipped).FIGURE 43

2.Set controls to "high" and light the unit.

3.Wait 5 minutes. Light a match and extend it 1" into the hole located above the spill switch bracket on the adapter.

4.Venting action is satisfactory if the flame stays lit. Vent- ing action is unsatisfactory if the flame extinguishes.

5.If venting action is unsatisfactory, turn the unit off, wait 10 minutes and try again. If the match does not stay lit, turn the unit off and check for vent blockage or restriction. If necessary, consult with a qualified inspector.

CDVS500-N, CDVS500-P specifications

The Continental CDVS500-P and CDVS500-N are advanced vehicle sensor solutions specifically designed for enhancing driver safety and facilitating automation in modern vehicles. These systems represent cutting-edge technology in the realm of automotive sensors, focusing on improving situational awareness through comprehensive environmental perception.

One of the main features of the CDVS500 series is its high-resolution sensor capabilities. Both the CDVS500-P and CDVS500-N utilize sophisticated imaging technologies that enable them to capture a wide field of view with exceptional clarity. This is crucial for applications such as adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assistance, and collision avoidance systems, where accurate detection of nearby vehicles, pedestrians, and obstacles is a priority.

In addition to high-resolution imaging, these sensors employ advanced algorithms for real-time data processing. The integration of machine learning and artificial intelligence enhances the ability of the CDVS500 systems to interpret dynamic environments. This means that they can effectively differentiate between various objects, predicting their movements and assessing potential risks with remarkable accuracy.

Another notable characteristic is the robust performance of the CDVS500-P and CDVS500-N in diverse weather conditions. They are engineered to function effectively in rain, fog, and glare, ensuring reliable operation regardless of environmental variables. This resilience is vital for maintaining safety standards in vehicular automation, making these sensors a trusted choice for various automotive applications.

The connectivity features of the CDVS500 series also set them apart. They support seamless integration with existing vehicle systems and can communicate with other sensors to create a comprehensive view of the vehicle's surroundings. This interoperability is essential for next-generation driver assistance systems, promoting an ecosystem where multiple inputs are synthesized into cohesive feedback for the driver or autonomous driving system.

Moreover, both models are designed with a focus on energy efficiency and a compact form factor. This design not only saves space within the vehicle but also plays a role in extending the overall lifespan of the sensor by reducing thermal strain.

In summary, the Continental CDVS500-P and CDVS500-N represent a significant leap in automotive sensor technology, characterized by high-resolution imaging, advanced processing algorithms, robust environmental performance, and excellent connectivity. These attributes position them as vital components in the ongoing evolution toward safer and more autonomous driving experiences.
