Brief Description of the Components

The gas valve is fitted with a manual HI/LO knob to allow for man

-

ual modulation of the gas outlet pressure to the appliance burner. 

The controls are designed to be used with either LPG or Natural 

Gas and can be converted by use of an OEM supplied conversion 

kit.

The Digital Fireplace Control (DFC) is an automatic gas ignition 

system based on a single microcontroller core. This control man

-

ages all functions related to ignition, flame sensing and supervi

-

sion for atmospheric applications. 

The DFC can be set to provide continuous or intermittent ignition 

control sequences and flame monitoring with safety shutdown in 

case of failure.

The  DFC  is  set  up  as  a  stand  alone  (AC  powered  system  with 

battery back up. See Lighting Instructions on page 24 and Wiring 

Diagram on page 23.

Before  proceeding  with  the  procedures  in  the  following  trouble

-

shooting  table,  verify  that  the  power  supply  (AC/DC  adapter)  is 

present and that the batteries inside the receiver and/or optional 

battery pack are fresh and installed with correct polarity.

Make sure all the connections between the wire harnesses and 

system components are proper and positive.

Verify that the static inlet pressure meets the manufacturer’s rec

-

ommended  inlet  pressure.  If  necessary  adjust  the  line  pressure 

regulator.

If the recommended actions for the following troubleshooting chart 

do not help to address the problem consider replacing wiring har
