operation (electronic)
This appliance is equipped with an “On Demand” intermittent pilot ignition system (IPI) which also includes a
continuous pilot ignition (CPI) mode with an integrated seven day timer. This system minimizes your appliance’s
carbon footprint as well as reducing its annual fuel consumption and operating costs.
In IPI mode, the pilot will ignite prior to the main burner, when the appliance is turned on using a switch, remote
or from a call for heat with the thermostat (if equipped). Once the appliance is turned off (or the call for heat is
satisfi ed), the main burner and pilot fl ame will shut down.
The continuous (CPI) mode is intended to enhance the performance of the appliance during the startup phase in
colder climates and extreme weather by keeping the system warm when the main burner is not in use. However,
the timer feature provides the convenience that the appliance automatically switches off the pilot when the
appliance has not been used for seven days to save unnecessary fuel consumption.
When the CPI function is turned on, the pilot will remain on after the main burner
is turned off. A timer will then begin the countdown for approximately seven days
before shutting off the pilot if the appliance is not used. This countdown will reset
anytime the appliance main burner is used. Therefore, if the appliance is regularly
used day to day, the pilot will remain on. However, this system does not require
the user to remember to turn the pilot off as summer approaches and avoids
unnecessary fuel consumption while still readily turned back on when the cold
weather returns.
Your appliance may be equipped with an ACS or remote control device which
enables you to select IPI or CPI modes.
If your appliance is equipped with an ACS switch, it has the option to change
modes. If installed with the blue wire facing up, fl ipping the switch UP turns on the
continuous pilot with timer and fl ipping the switch DOWN turns on the intermittent
pilot ignition. If installed with the white wire facing up, the opposite is true.
If your appliance is equipped with a remote control device capable of selecting IPI / CPI modes, refer to remote
operating instructions.
In order to start your pilot, turning the main burner on with the switch, remote or thermostat and then turning it off
will reactivate the continuous pilot mode and reset the seven day timer.
