IPI ELECTRONIC SYSTEm OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

5.25 VdC ELECTRONIC CONTROL VALVE

The electronic control valve system includes the ability to switch 

the pilot from a standing pilot mode to an intermittent pilot mode. 

• 

IPI mode

 - In the Intermittent Pilot mode, when the unit 

is turned ON, it will cause spark to the pilot, light the 

pilot, then allow the burner to light. When the unit is 

turned to OFF, both the burner and pilot will be OFF.

• 

CPI mode

 - In the Continuous Pilot mode, the pilot 

remains ON continuously even when the burner is 

turned OFF.

NOTICE

: A small toggle switch is located on the front of the 

module tray that is used to switch from IPI (left position) to the 

CPI (right position). 

See Figure 24.

When the unit is turned to ON, the electrical current will energize 

a spark to the pilot igniter. Once the pilot sensor heats up (after a 

few seconds), the valve will be energized, allowing gas to flow to 

the burner.

AC/dC Adapter

An AC/DC adapter is located in the Instruction Packet. To install, 

connect the adapter to the mating female connector located near 

the gas valve. Run the adapter plug out one of the side openings 

of the insert in a similar manner as the blower power cord, then 

plug the adapter into a 120V receptacle.

1.  Follow the SAFETY and LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS for 

Intermittent Pilot controls found in this manual, and on labels 

found in the control compartment located in the lower cavity 

of the appliance.

2.  During the operating season (or in power outage periods), 

it is recommended that the pilot remain in the CPI (standing 

pilot mode) to reduce cold start issues, and/or conserve 

battery backup power during a power outage.

3.  The gas valve has inlet and outlet pressure taps as shown 

in 

Figure 24.

 Refer to pages 8 and 9 for gas pressure 

requirements.

OPTIONAL REmOTE CONTROLS 

Optional remote controls are available for use with this appliance. 

Place the remote receiver either in a wall outlet box with 

extended wiring, on the fireplace hearth, behind the left side 

surround panel, or in the control compartment area as far forward 

in the insert as possible.

The placement options for the remote receiver are given to allow 

flexibility however, battery life will be extended if the receiver is 

placed in cooler areas. 

To connect the remote receiver to the appliance, first disconnect 

the ON/OFF switch wires from the white and green wire 

connectors and connect the wires from the remote receiver to the 

green and white wire connectors. See Page 24.

Follow the instructions included with the remote control for 

programming and other operational information.
