Flame Height 

 

As standard, the Chameleon is 

not 

fitted with a height adjustment valve. Units can be made to 

order  with  adjustable  height,  or  a  height  adjustment  valve  can  be  fitted  to  an  existing  unit. 
Please contact the manufacturer for further information. 

 

If fitted, the height adjustment valve wheel is located on the right hand underside of the machine 
(viewed from the rear), the perimeter of which can be felt protruding from case. 

Anticlockwise 

rotation  opens  this  valve  for 

maximum  flame 

height  (hand  movement  from  rear  to  front  of 

machine). 

Clockwise 

rotation  closes  this  valve  for 

minimum  flame 

height  (hand  movement 

from front to rear of machine) 

 

It should be noted that if the canister solenoid is left open and only the Flame solenoid used for 
control, then the gas storage between the solenoids will create a flame ball or higher initial flame 
before the flame reduces to the set height. 
To  have  a  consistently  lower  flame  height,  control  both  solenoids  simultaneously,  so  that  the 
gas storage is not replenished. 
To create a flame ball, allow the canister solenoid to be open first,  and then operate the flame 
solenoid. 

 

The Control Panel 

 

The control panel provides the following functions: 

 

A  SELECT  button  allows  the 

H

ot  surface  igniter, 

F

lame,  and 

C

anister  DMX  addresses  to  be 

selected  individually  as  well  as  setting  the  Chameleon  into  the  DMX  receive  mode.  Continual 
presses of this button will cycle through these events. 

 

UP  and  DOWN  buttons  allow  each  address  to  be  adjusted  to  suit  the  user.  These  addresses 
are not allowed to be equal or more than 256 steps apart. A warning will be given on the display 
to  reset  these  values  should  this  occur.  Whilst  in  the  mode  of  setting  addresses  the 
STORE/VIEW button will place these values in memory. 

 

When  the  DMX  mode  is  selected  for  receiving  data,  the  STORE/VIEW  button  will  allow  the 
received DMX data value to be viewed for each channel. ( 0 to 99%) or scrolled through. 
H = Hot surface igniter. F = Flame. C = Canister. Pressed a fourth time it will autoscroll. 

 

When the DMX mode is selected, and there is no DMX data the display will read doF. (DMX off) 

 

With  no  DMX  connection  a  special  function  STORE/VIEW  +  UP  button  will  set  a  value  in 
memory  which  relates  to  the  time  required  for  the  Hot  surface  igniter  to  reach  the  correct 
working temperature and allow the Flame solenoids to function. 
The UP/DOWN buttons will vary the set value from 0 to 254. To exit from this feature, press the 
SELECT button. 
Typically a value of 50 will equal a 5 second delay. A value of 100 will equal 11 seconds and a 
value  of  200  will  equal  around  35  seconds.  Each  time  this  value  is  changed  by  the  button 
presses, it will be stored in memory. 
This  value  may  need  to  be  changed  if  the  Hot  Surface  igniter  is  replaced,  or  special  user 
circumstances require it. 
Changing  this  value  and  allowing  a  shorter  time  before  Flaming  is  allowed  may  well  create 
unsafe or hazardous conditions, allowing unburned fluid to be ejected. The onus of responsible 
will lie with user.
