CPI [Continuous Pilot Ignition] / IPI [Intermittent Pilot
Ignition] Jumper Cable Installation
“Why use CPI mode”?
There are several reasons why you may choose to use CPI mode.
When a flue is cold it can be difficult to light the appliance. It can take
a bit of time (particularly on tall vents) to initialize vent action. This
can result in “lifting” or “ghosting” of the flames during the first two
to three minutes of operation. It is also possible to encounter times
when the fireplace fails to light successfully. The fireplace will then
attempt to re-light a second or third time depending on prevailing
temperatures or altitude. When in CPI mode the pilot also keeps
the system warm. During a “cold” start, condensation will normally
form on the inner glass surface of the door. This condensation will
quickly dry, however, the condensation tends to run down the glass
and cause some streaking. CPI mode helps to resolve this issue. If
CPI mode is used during the winter months the energy it takes to run
the pilot is partially recovered as heat into the building, so it does not
waste as much energy as running a pilot in the off season.
A connector is supplied with this unit that can be plugged into
the controller. This Jumper Cable gives the Remote Control the
ability to operate the CPI / IPI switch and set the unit to operate
in either condition. CPI means “Continuous Pilot Ignition” or
“Standing Pilot” as it is commonly known. IPI means “Intermittent
Pilot Ignition”, which only initializes the pilot when you are going
to be using the appliance.
The difference between IPI and CPI:
IPI (Intermittent Pilot Ignition) Mode:
is a fuel saving mode in
which the pilot is only used when the main burner is on.
CPI (Continuous Pilot Ignition) Mode:
The Pilot runs continuously
even when the main burner is off.
