INTERMITTENT PILOT LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS

FOR YOUR SAFETY READ BEFORE LIGHTING
If you do not follow these instructions exactly, a fire or explosion may result causing property damage,
personal injury or loss of life
A. This appliance has a pilot which can be lighted with the
manual on/off switch, a remote control, or by switching the
receiver switch to the "ON" position. When lighting the pilot,

INTERMITTENT PILOT CONTROL SYSTEM TROUBLESHOOTING

Brief Description of the Components
The gas valve is fitted with a manual HI/LO knob to allow for
manual modulation of the gas outlet pressure to the fireplace
burner. The controls are designed to be used with either LPG or
Natural Gas and can be converted by use of an OEM supplied
conversion kit.
The Digital Fireplace Control (DFC) is an automatic gas ignition
system based on a single micro-controller core. This control
manages all functions related to ignition, flame sensing and
supervision for atmospheric applications.
The DFC can be set to provide continuous or intermittent ignition
control sequences and flame monitoring with safety shutdown in
case of failure.
The DFC is set up as a stand alone (AC powered system with
battery back up. See Lighting Instructions on page 64 and Wiring
Diagram on page 63.

Troubleshooting
Before proceeding with the procedures in the following
troubleshooting table, verify that the power supply (AC/DC
adapter) is present and that the batteries inside the receiver
and/or optional battery pack are fresh and installed with correct
polarity.
Make sure all the connections between the wire harnesses and
system components are proper and positive.
Verify that the static inlet pressure meets the manufacturer's
recommended inlet pressure. If necessary adjust the line
pressure regulator.
Check and clean the flame sensor.
If the recommended actions for the following troubleshooting
chart do not help to address the problem consider replacing
wiring harnesses.
WARNING

actions performed on the DFC or other system
components must be done in accordance with the
individual component instructions.
Replacement of components must be performed in
