RP424PFC Indoor Gas Fireplace
Section 8:Testing the System
Overview
The RP424PFC Control and Power Vent System can be safely
tested prior to finishing the fireplace enclosure. This test can be done
quickly and efficiently to ensure all systems function according to the
design specifications.
Testing the system before gas connection
Note: Gas supply is not required to test the system
Ensure the valve is in the "ON" position.
„
The control panel is supplied with a power cord plug in.
„
Plug it into an extension cord or any other 110 Volt power supply.
„
If the red LED is illuminated (beside the fuse) there is power
„
supplied to the panel.
If no LED, check main power to control box, check fuse and
„
replace with equally rated fuse.
Turn the wall switch to the on position.
„
Wall switch and combustion air LED light up immediately.
„
approximately 30 seconds later when the power vent reaches factory
set speed. The flue gas switch LED will light up approximately 1
minute after flue gas LED is lit and the gas valve will turn on. There
will be a clicking sound from the valve and the Hot Surface Ignitor
will glow red. This confirms the control system operation. Note: If
the flue gas LED does not light up after 1 minute, slowly increase the
power vent speed until the LED turns on. Speed controller located
inside the control box, see Figure 33.
Refer to Troubleshooting for a list of common problems and solutions
if you encounter issues during testing.
Testing the system with gas connection
(Highly recommended)
Connect two 1/8" MPT hose barb fittings to the gas valve inlet
„
and outlet ports, as shown in Figure 51a. Connect a 0-16" W.C.
manometer to each fitting.
Ensure the valve is in the "ON" position.
„
Turn on the gas supply to the appliance.
„
Wait 3 minutes and check for any gas leaks. If you smell or
„
detect a gas leak, turn the gas supply off and take corrective actions.
Turn supply power on.
„
The LED power indicator will be illuminated.
„
Install the inner glass, middle glass, and outer glass barrier (see
„
Section 10).
Place the appliance in operation See the lighting instructions
„
on page 53.
Once the appliance is operational, confirm the manifold pressure
„
and supply pressure are within the specified limits, see section 5.
Turn lights on and confirm all lights are working.

Installation
Figure 42.
Testing the Lights
The RP424PFC includes a delay timer to ensure safe operation of
the accent lighting. This system is tested during the manufacturing
process but should be tested upon install to ensure the system is
operating as intended.
Note: Supply power to the Control Box and Power Vent and make
sure both are functioning before performing the test.
If the fireplace is NOT burning
Turn the accent light ON/OFF wall switch to the ON position to
„
power the lights on.
The Power Vent should start.
„
After 60 seconds the lights should come on.
„
After another three minutes the Power Vent should turn off.
„
If the fireplace is burning
Turn the accent light ON/OFF wall switch to the ON position to
„
power the lights on.
After 60 seconds the lights should come on.
„
The fireplace will continue to operate normally.
