WEBCS-1 09/18
Installation or repair should be performed by a qualified ser
-
vice technician who is locally licensed. The appliance should
be inspected before use and at least annually by a qualified
technician. It is important to keep the control compartment,
burner ports air circulation passageways clear at all time.
Certain installations may require more frequent cleaning.
Do not remove any decal or rating plates from the WEBCS.
A gas shut off must be installed outside the exterior of the fire
feature for emergency shut off and maintenance. A sediment
trap is highly recommended to alleviate any problems from
debris or sediment in the gas line. It is the installers responsi-
bility to ensure the fuel supply and line are adequate to supply
the maximum BTU for the burner used. Maximum capacity
for the WEBCS standard size is 265,000 BTU.
The WEBCS box may now be mounted to the burner or burner
pan/combination. The outlet of the control box includes 1/2"
connector that fits to the nipple on most burners. Thread seal
-
ant must be used on all pipe thread connections. Flame -tec
recommends you use a 2" stainless steel nipple or longer to
help protect the WEBECS from radiant heat from the burner.
The WEBCS is designed to automatically close the gas valve
and shut down should temperatures exceed 175° Fahrenheit.
Once assembled the WEBCS typically hangs from the burner
pan as its support. Please consider proper distance from the
burner or pan to allow excess heat to dissipate and not over-
heat the WEBCS. Proper ventilation must be provided, and
a heat shield may be fabricated to help cool the control unit.
GAS CONNECTION
We recommend mounting the pilot shield on top of the burner
pan and in that configuration, the pilot line, thermocouple and
igniter lead should be lowered through a hole in the pan prior
to connecting to the control box.
The pilot comes pre-assembled from the factory, so the in
-
staller can simply connect the assembly to the main control
box. The igniter has a “shaped” push on waterproof connector
ensuring that is can only be connected the correct way. Push
this black plastic connector parts firmly together until it locks
in place. Gently tug on wires to assure connection is secure.
The flexible corrugated pilot tube has a flare fitting that should
be connected 1/4 turn past hand tight. Please double check
to ensure the fitting is snug both into the control box and the
flare connection.
The thermocouple should now be connected. It screws onto
the 11/32" brass fitting on the control box closest to the black
connector. It should be snug, but do not overtighten.
PILOT ASSEMBLY CONNECTIONS
Next, you may mount the pilot to the burner pan. The shield
is designed with 3 break-a-way mounting tabs used to secure
the shield to the pan with screws. The installer can determine
the best placement for the pilot depending on the burner
configuration keeping the pilot within 1" from a burner port
for quick ignition. All tabs may be used or selected tabs may
be removed for easier placement. Tabs are scored along
the shield’s edge and can be detached by bending back and
forth with pliers.
Once all connections are complete, it is highly recommended
to perform a leak test. Turn on the gas supply and using gas
test solution or soapy water solution, spray the gas connec
-
tions on the WEBCS including the pilot connector to ensure
it is leak free.
