Installation
Introduction
Install location:
The RP-Series fireplace may be installed in any location that
maintains proper clearances to air conditioning ducts, electrical
wiring, and plumbing. Safety, as well as efficiency of operation,
must be considered when selecting the fireplace location. Try
to select a location that does not interfere with room traffic,
has adequate ventilation, and offers an accessible pathway for
Power Vent installation. A gas appliance must not be connected
to a chimney flue serving a separate solid-fuel burning
appliance. Ensure the fireplace is installed in a way that the
flow of combustion and ventilation air is not obstructed.
Basic Operation
:
The gas control components of this fireplace are located at the
rear of the fireplace. All models are supplied with a Honeywell
smart valve gas control and do
NOT
have a variable flame
control. A differential pressure switch located at the rear of
the fireplace monitors airflow and controls the gas valve.
A thermal switch located on the top of the firebox acts as a
secondary safety system to shut down the fireplace in the
event that normal operating temperatures are exceeded. These
components communicate with the electrical control panel
through a nine conductor cable supplied with the fireplace.
To operate the fireplace, Montigo supplies 20' of low voltage
wire from the electrical control panel. Connect the two wire
harnesses to a standard single pole ON/OFF switch to the
location of your choice. You may extend these wires up to 100'
in length with a wire of equal quality.
This fireplace is equipped with lights which need to be wired
through an ON/OFF wall switch as shown in the schematic.
If possible, wire the lights and power vent on the same circuit
breaker.
ON/OFF control of this appliance can also be performed using
an optional remote control available from your Montigo dealer.
Do not use this appliance if any part has been under water.
Immediately call a qualified service technician to inspect the
appliance and to replace any part of the control system and any
gas control that has been under water.
