TEST FIRE
Prior to being placed into operation, the fireplace should be test-fired in stages to ensure that all components are in good working
order. This fireplace has a 2
nd
thermocouple which senses the main burner flame. The system will turn itself off if the system does
not sense the 2
nd
thermocouple output within 20 seconds after the main valve opens.
Note that a single, long beep indicates that the 2
nd
thermocouple is still hot enough to produce electricity at the receiver which will
not allow the fireplace to start. Allow time for the 2
nd
thermocouple to cool down before attempting a start. The system is ready to
start when pressing the ON/OFF button produces a response from the valve.
1. Start the fireplace with the hearth panel out and with the front glass off. Ensure that the pilot flame both heats the primary
thermocouple and lights the main burner. For safety, a post-purge delay is built into the system. Subsequent start attempts
MUST NOT take place for at least thirty (30) seconds.
2. Start the fireplace with the hearth panel in place and with all of the glass panels fixed correctly in place. Ensure that the
main burner flames engulf the 2
nd
thermocouple and the fireplace stays lit for at least 1 full minute. If the system turns itself
off after 20 seconds install the required media (next section) and return here. Installing the fire media will help with the
flame around the 2
nd
thermocouple. Subsequent start attempts MUST NOT take place for at least five (5) minutes.
3. Start the fireplace with the media installed. If the system turns itself off after 20 seconds, rearrange the media to produce
a good flame at the 2
nd
thermocouple. This step may have to be repeated several times before the media is in the best
place for consistent operation. A single, long beep indicates that the 2
nd
thermocouple is still too hot to start the ignition
sequence. Allow time for the 2
nd
thermocouple to cool down. Once the system stays lit for at least one full minute, turn
the fireplace off, fix the glass panels in place and operate the fireplace for at least 45 minutes to ensure the system works
properly when heated.
