“FIRST TIME” PILOT LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT: Be sure all items on "INSTALLATION CHECK OFF LIST" in the Installation Manual have been completed!
CAUTION: If the pilot goes out, be sure to wait a minimum of five minutes before attempting to relight the pilot.
Make certain that any manual gas supply shut-off valves located upstream of fireplace are open and the wall receiver and the remote
control transmitter are in the "OFF" position. Make certain that the wall receiver harness is connected to the wall receiver properly.
Synchronize Remote Transmitter and Receiver. See “INITIALIZING THE REMOTE CONTROL SYSTEM”, below.
1.
Make certain that 110VAC power cord is connected to an electrical outlet.
2. Insert Batteries in the Wall Receiver (4 x AA) and the Remote Transmitter (3 x AAA). Note the polarity of batteries and insert as
indicated on the battery compartment covers.
3. For the “First Time
Lighting”, Remove the
Glass Door. This is re-
quired to purge the gas
line of air and to inspect
the pilot lighting spark.
Slide the wall receiver
switch to “REMOTE”.
Locate the “Standing Pi-
lot ON/OFF Switch”.
See Figure 1. Toggle
“Standing Pilot
ON/OFF Switch” to
“ON”. You will hear a
series of clicks and after
a few seconds, you will
hear sparking at the pi-
lot spark electrode.
7. Allow adequate time for the air in the gas-line to purge. The control system will stop sparking after 30 seconds if the pilot light
does not light. After a 30 second delay the control system will start sparking again for 30 seconds more. If the pilot light does not
light after the third 30 second spark event, the system will enter “Lock-out” mode. To unlock from “Lock-out” mode, slide Wall
Receiver Switch to “OFF”, wait 30 seconds and slide back to “Remote”. Repeat this sequence until the pilot flame lights and the
pilot is burning steadily. After you inspect the spark and the pilot lights, turn off the pilot switch and close the glass door.
8. Relight Pilot after closing glass door. WARNING: NEVER IGNITE MAIN BURNERS WITH GLASS DOOR REMOVED
OR OPEN. Doing so will lead to damage to pilot flame sensor and spark electrode wire leads.
9. Slide switch on Wall Receiver to “ON”. All burners should ignite and run at “high-fire” if rear burner solenoid is in ON position
from the factory. If rear solenoid is in off position the rear burner will not ignite. Use the Remote System to turn rear burner ON.
Slide Wall Receiver switch to REMOTE after 15 seconds. Burner Flames will extinguish.
10. Perform gas inlet and outlet pressure tests and leak tests on field installed gas fittings and factory installed fittings in the gas valve
compartment, at this time. Note: Burners must be
ON to check outlet pressures and to leak test gas
train fittings upstream of main gas valve.
INITIALIZING THE REMOTE
CONTROL SYSTEM
(Synchronizing Receiver and Transmitter)
1. Place 3-position slider switch in Wall Receiver in
the “Remote” position.
2. Locate “PRG” key on Wall Receiver Face. Use
the tip of a pen/pencil or a wire clip to push the
PRG button. The receiver will beep 3 times indi-
cating that it is ready to synchronize with a Re-
mote Transmitter.
3. Push the “ON” key on the Remote Transmitter.
The receiver will beep 4 times to indicate that the
Transmitter’s command is accepted and sets to
the particular code of that Transmitter. The sys-
tem is now initialized.
NOTE : Use this Synchronizing procedure every time
the batteries are replaced in the Receiver or the Transmitter.
