Ip ELECTRONIC SYSTEM OpERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Attention:  For shipping purposes, the Electronic Control 

Module and Receiver plate assembly is loosely packaged 

near the left side of the appliance.  It is necessary that the re-

ceiver plate assembly be secured to the left front flange of the 

appliance at the time of installation.  To secure, remove the 

two lower screws in the left side flange of the appliance, then 

place  the  receiver  plate  assembly  over  the  left  front  flange 

and secure with the two screws previously removed.   

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 re-

mains ON continuously even when the burner is turned 

OFF.

Note:  A small toggle switch is located on the receiver plate (left 

side of unit) that is used to switch from IPI (upward position) to the 

CPI (downward position).  See Figure 25.

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.

1.  Follow the SAFETY and LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS for In-

termittent 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 25.  Refer to page 11 for  gas pressure requirements.

Note: 

The gas control has a manual HI/LO flame adjustment 

knob (regulator) that allows you to increase or decrease 

the height of the burner flame.  See Figure 25.  Rotate 

the HI/LO knob counterclockwise to “HI” to increase the 

flame height, and clockwise to “LO” to decrease the flame 

height.

OpTIONAL REMOTE CONTROLS 

Optional remote controls are available for use with this appliance.   

There is an area on the Receiver Plate (between the Electronic 

Control  module  and  the  back-up  battery  pack)  that  the  Remote 

Receiver should be placed.  A velcro pad is pre-attached to the 

plate assembly for quick attachment of the remote receiver. 

To connect the remote receiver to the appliance,  first disconnect 

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

tors and connect the wires from the remote receiver to the green 

and white wire connectors.  See Figure 25.

Follow the instructions included with the remote control for pro-

gramming and other operational information.
