Firegear Outdoors All Weather Ignition System (AWS)
REV. C Page 14
Note:
A 1¼” x 2” black iron or galvanized coupler/nipple
(not supplied) can be used as a spacer between the manu-
al valve and the valve flange to add additional
support to hold the manual key valve in place, if needed.
See Fig. 21.

Before the fire pit is set inside the enclosure, install the 46”
flex connector to the gas valve box and to the manual key
valve.
This system is provided with a hand held remote control
(Model 1420-A). Wire it as shown in Figs. 23 and 24. The
remote control receiver will fit inside the weatherproof box
(provided). Use the instructions provided with the remote
control to “learn” (program) the transmitter to the receiver.
Use dielectric grease on all wire nut connections and
¼
”
connectors to prevent moisture issues from the outdoor
environment.
The AWS system is polarity sensitive. There is a red
sleeve attached to the positive (+) side of the adapter.
When wiring the remote control receiver, one red wire from
the receiver connects to the adapter with the red sleeve.
The other red wire of the receiver connects directly to the
red wire from the gas valve control box. See Figs. 23 and
24 on page 15.
Note:
There is an extra red jumper wire
provided to extend either red wire of the 1420-A remote
control receiver. It is not required to use this wire. It
depends on each application.
FINAL PREPARATIONS
INSTALLATION OF MEDIA INTO BURNER PAN
Install lava rock into the burner pan. Ensure the lava rock is
a minimum of 1-inch diameter for proper operation.
Note:
Do not pour Lava Rock directly from bag. It should
be placed naturally and NOT packed in tight. Loose fitting
is important to ensure robust flames. Placing the lava rock
in the pan by hand, ensures no excessive dust from bag
lays in the bottom of pan and potentially plugs the burner
port holes or the pan weep holes.
IMPORTANT
:
DO NOT PLACE ROCK OVER TOP OR
UNDER THE PILOT SCREEN COVER.
The screen must
be free of any debris to ensure proper lighting of burner
and good flame sense (See Fig. 22).
Cover the burner completely with media but do not make
the depth greater than 1-inch over-top of the burner
port holes.
Do NOT cover the top of mesh pilot hood with any rock or
glass. It must be free an any debris to operate properly.
