NOTE
: To manually start the valve kit, move the OFF/REMOTE slide switch on the front of the Switch Box to the OFF
position then push the rocker switch to the “I” position this will light the main burner. Once the pilot is lit for 2 seconds the
main burner will light.
After the installation is complete follow these steps to operate the AFVK-SP-H/L-SPLIT or AFVK-SP-MH/L-SPLIT
1.
Turn
ON
the main gas supply and check all fittings and connections for leaks with soap and water solution.
2.
Move the OFF/REMOTE slide switch on the front of Switch Box to the REMOTE position (See figure 15).
3.
Push the ON button on the remote transmitter position this will start the ignition system. The pilot will begin to
spark and then light once the pilot is lit 2 for seconds later the main burner will light.
4.
Adjust the main flame from HI to LO with the HI/LO buttons on the remote transmitter.
NOTE
: To manually start the valve kit, move the OFF/REMOTE slide switch on the front of the Switch Box to the OFF
position then push the rocker switch to the “I” position this will light the main burner. Once the pilot is lit 2 seconds the main
burner will light.
NOTE
: On the AFVK-SP-H/L press and release the LO button and the flame will switch to LO. Press and release the HI
button and the flame will switch to HI.
NOTE
: On the AFVK-SP-MH/L press and hold the LO button and the flame will modulate to LO. Press and hold the HI
button and the flame will modulate to HI.
IMPORTANT NOTE
: On initial start up: due to air in the gas supply line it may take an extended amount of time for the
pilot to light. There is a 60 second lockout built into the module. To reset, turn the rocker switch OFF, then ON, or push the
OFF button on the remote transmitter, then push the ON button.
TROUBLESHOOTING
CAUTION
: An experienced qualified service technician should only perform troubleshooting procedures.
If the pilot will not stay lit:
1.
Confirm that the “S” sensor wire and the “I” igniter wires are properly connected to the module “S” and “I” terminals
on the module (See figure 6 for terminal locations).
2.
Confirm that the Spark to Pilot burner is properly grounded to the gas control valve (Ground is provided through
the pilot tubing).
3.
Check the ground wire from the module to the gas control valve (Black ground wire on the 8 pin conector)
4.
Check the power source battery pack connections and voltage of batteries.
5.
Optional check the position of the CONTINUOUS PILOT switch on the Switch Box (See figure 16).
If main burner does not come ON when the manual rocker switch or remote control is turned ON:
1.
Confirm that the pilot sparks and lights.
2.
Check the (2) pin plastic connectors that plug in the face of the gas control valve (See figure 5).
3.
Confirm that the gas control valve is properly grounded to the valve kit module.
If remote won’t operate Valve
1.
Ensure the module switch is in Remote position and check batteries in the remote and the battery pack.
2.
Clear Codes: Memory in the module might be full if the learn button is pressed too many times. If this happens no
audible beep will be heard. To clear memory, place the module slide switch into the REMOTE position. Press
the learn button and release after 10 seconds. You should hear three (3) long audible beeps indicating all codes
have cleared. You can now “relearn” the transmitter to the module as described below.
3.
Press the LEARN button on the module to accept the transmitter security code. Ensure the slide button on the
module in the REMOTE position; the module will not LEARN if the slide switch is in the OFF position. The LEARN
button is located on the side of the module (See figure 17). Using the pen or toothpick gently press and release
the black LEARN button inside the hole. When you release the LEARN button the module will emit an audible
“beep”. After the module emits a beep press the transmitter ON button and release. The module will emit several
beeps indicating that the transmitter’s code has been accepted into the module then you can presume normal
operation.
