2. - LIGHTING & CONTROLLING THE FIRE
General
The fire is available with 3 Control Options: Manual Control (Fire is lit and adjusted manually), or Thermatronic Radio Frequency Electronic
Control System (Fire is lit & operated with a Handset) or the Thermostatic Thermatronic Radio Frequency Electronic Control System (Fire is
lit & operated with an Handset which also can control the room temperature plus other features).
2.1- LIGHTING & CONTROLLING THE FIRE - MANUAL CONTROL
Open the Door at the bottom of the fire by pulling at the right side.
a. Switching On/Ignition.
Depress the control knob & turn counter clockwise. Gas will flow to the Pilot Burner (Pilot Burner is visible
looking down through the glass at the left side), the Piezo Igniter will give off first one, then, as you turn, a second high voltage spark & the
Pilot Burner will Light. (More than one attempt may have to be made on first lighting.)
Keep the Control Knob depressed for approximately 10 seconds to heat up the Thermocouple.
Turn the Control Knob fully counter clockwise to release gas to the Main Burner.
b.
Control of Gas Flow.
Turning the Control Knob clockwise reduces the gas flow from
Maximum to the Pre-Set Minimum Setting.
Turning between Maximum & Minimum does not actuate the Piezo Igniter. The Control Valve can
only be set on the Pilot by depressing the control knob & turning it to the pre-selected pilot position.
c. Switching Off.
Press the Control Knob in at the Pilot Position & turn Clockwise to Off.
2.2- LIGHTING & CONTROLLING THE FIRE – Thermatronic & Thermatronic (Thermostatic) Remote Control Systems
The Remote Control Systems are both battery operated gas fire remote control systems that uses a microprocessor to provide the working
sequences needed by the fire, and when used with an oxypilot have all the safety features required by law and CE approval.
Commands are accepted by the microprocessor when buttons are pressed. An audible beep means that the command has been received,
and the push button should immediately be released to allow the control to operate .
Using the Thermatronic Remote Control System
Control can only be achieved if the Handset is pointed at the Fire. The red light will flash each time you press a button on the Handset.
a. Ignition.
Simultaneously press and hold the red button and the right upper button (linked by line) until a short
acoustic signal confirms that the sequence has begun, then release the buttons. Continuous audible signals confirm that
ignition is in progress.
When pilot ignition is confirmed the motor will open the valve to maximum flame height – this takes about 30 seconds.
It is normal for condensation to appear on the glass on start-up. This will clear after a minute or so.
b. Flame Height Adjustment.
Press the small flame button until the flame height is at the desired position. If you try
to go beyond the preset low flame minimum height the fire will turn off leaving the pilot burner alight (this is the standby
position). You will learn from experience the minimum preset flame height.
c.
Relighting the Fire.
To relight the fire from the standby position, or to increase the flame height from low flame,
simultaneously press and hold the large flame button until the desired flame height is achieved.
Please note that you can have the flame height anywhere between maximum and preset low.
For fine adjustment simply tap the small or large flame buttons.
d. Switching Off.
Press the red/off button on the handset.
2.3 - LIGHTING & CONTROLLING THE THERMATRONIC (Thermostatic) REMOTE CONTROL SYSTEM
Control can only be achieved if the Handset is pointed at the Fire.
You will see that the Handset as a screen with symbols and reference should be made to the following screen settings shown for each stage
of operation. With the fire in the off position the screen will look as shown below.
This is the Manual Setting display and will be used to first light the fire.
The screen with symbols are shown below.
