•The standing pilot ignition system wiring does not require a 110 VAC supply to operate.

•A 110 VAC junction box MUST be installed for use with a fan or remote control. Keep wire lengths short as possible.

NOTICE: DO NOT wire 110 VAC to the millivolt valve! This will damage the valve.

•If using a thermostat use one compatible with a millivolt gas valve system:

-Install the thermostat in the location as indicated in the 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 as short as possible.

C. Intellifire Ignition System Wiring

•Wire the appliance junction box to 110 VAC for proper operation of the appliance.

WARNING! Risk of Shock or Explosion! DO NOT wire IPI controlled appliance junction box to a switched circuit. Incorrect wiring will override IPI safety lockout.

•Refer to Figure 12.3, Intellifire Pilot Ignition (IPI) Wiring Diagram.

•This appliance is equipped with an Intellifire control valve which operates on a 3 volt system.

•Plug the 3-volt AC transformer into the appliance junction box to supply power to the unit OR install two D cell batteries (not included) into the battery pack before use.

NOTICE: Batteries should not be placed in the battery pack while using the transformer. Remove batteries before using the transformer, and unplug the transformer before installing the batteries. Battery polarity must be correct or module damage will occur.

D. Optional Accessories Requirements
