Operation
Continuous Pilot / Intermittent Pilot (CPI/IPI) Selection
With the system in OFF position press the Mode Key to index to the CPI
mode icon.
Pressing the UP Arrow Key will activate the Continuous Pilot Ignition
mode (CPI). Pressing the Down Arrow Key will return to IPI. A single
beep will confirm the reception of the command.
NOTE
This system is shipped from the factory with a CPI/IPI Wire that enables the ability to switch between CPI/IPI with the remote.
To disable the Continuous Pilot selection ability via the remote,
cut the blue wire shown in the picture and protect exposed ends
to prevent shorting.
Once this connection is severed, the appliance will not switch to
standing pilot even if the remote shows a CPI mode.

CPI vs IPI:
Continuous Pilot Ignition (CPI):
Also known as standing pilot. In this mode the pilot runs continuously even when the main burner is
off, reducing condensation and assisting smoother starts.
Intermittent Pilot Ignition (IPI):
A mode in which the pilot is only used when the main burner is on.
This appliance is shipped in IPI mode. IPI mode is often the preferred method, however, there are some situations where it may be
preferable to switch the fireplace into CPI mode. These situations include:
• Very Cold Conditions
- When temperatures are colder the burner may not light as quickly. In this situation, the flames will lift off
the burner
• Excessive Condensation on Glass
- Some installations could encounter excessive fogging on the glass door after startup (not
just initial startup)
• Cold Glass or Fireplace Front
- In colder climates the glass door or the front of the fireplace could become very cold
• Insect Control -
Insect nests inside the fireplace or gas lines can cause combustion issues which will lead to unplanned service
calls. The heat from the pilot will help deter spiders or other insects during the off season.
CPI mode may be disabled if desired or required by local code as shown in
Section 19.8
.
