Proflame 2 Remote Control
Features Overview
The Proflame 2 Integrated Fireplace Control (IFC)
incorporates electronic remote control of the Jøtul GF
160 DV IPI features. It is configured to control the on/
off operation both manually and thermostatically, with
standard and "Smart" thermostat features. It will also
control flame modulation and accent lighting functions.
The system utilizes an IPI system (Intermittent Pilot
Ignition) and may also be switched to keep the pilot lit
continuously if desired (CPI - Continuous Pilot Ignition).
Power is provided to the IFC by 120V house current and
is backed-up by a 6V battery pack (four, 1.5v AA) for
operation during a power failure.
Remote Control Transmitter
The remote transmitter has all controls available on its
face for reliable, ease of use. It gives room temperature
readout, set temperature readout, all function abilities as
well as childproof lockout and low battery indicator. Icons
appear on the screen indicating which mode of operation
you are controlling. The four button controls are easy to
learn and simple to operate. The transmitter is powered
by 4, 1.5V AAA batteries.
Remote Control Receiver
The receiver is integrated with the IFC board which is
located within the valve compartment.
Integrated Fireplace Control (IFC)
The IFC is the electrical heart of the system. It provides
power to all components and converts to 6.5v DC in the
event of power failure. The IFC also sends power to the
the accent light, however, when no line power is available,
that feature will not function. The battery back-up only
allows continued remote control of burner functions.
Sit 886 Modulating Valve
This valve has the ability to be stepped down in six
increments between high and low. It can be done
manually or by setting the remote control to the Smart
thermostat modulation mode. Automatic modulation
means that as the room temperature approaches the
limit set for shut down, the valve gradually decreases
or "steps-down" the fire intensity. Conversely, as room
temperature cools, the valve gradually increases flame
intensity. The overall result is more comfortable, even
heating that minimizes temperature peaks and valleys.
Pilot Assembly
The pilot assembly consists of a pilot hood, electrode, and
a flame sensor. The electrode sends a spark to the pilot
hood which ignites the gas. The sensor is then engulfed
by the pilot flame, flame rectification occurs and the pilot
remains lit.
Intermittent Pilot Flame Rectification Process
When there is a call for heat, the pilot will automatically
make four attempts to light the burner before locking
out.
On the first attempt, the pilot will spark for up to
sixty (60) seconds. If rectification occurs within that time,
the burner will light off. If rectification does not occur,
the pilot will extinguish.
If the main burner ignites and rectification is lost,
the system will extinguish the burner and immediately
ignite the pilot and relight the burner. The system will
attempt to light the main burner three (3) more times.
On the fourth attempt, the system will again light the
pilot and then sit idle with only the pilot burning for
sixty (60) seconds in order to establish draft to support
combustion air flow.
If rectification still does not occur with the main
burner lit, the system will "lock out".
A lock-out condition is cleared by cancelling the call
for heat; i.e. switching the burner off, or adjusting the
thermostat.
INSTALLER / OPERATOR NOTE
Under certain conditions wherein draft is unstable or
weak, it is advisable to run the system in Continuous
Pilot mode (CPI). Warm weather, extreme cold
weather, a long vent run, or high wind conditions
are all contributing factors that can interfere with
IPI functionality. A continuously running pilot can
generate sufficient heat to help establish and maintain
the draft strength required for rectification to occur.
ATTENTION:
• SHUT "OFF" MAIN GAS SUPPLY PRIOR TO
REMOVING OR REPLACING BATTERIES.
• IN CASE OF REMOTE CONTROL MALFUNCTION,
TURN OFF THE IFC DEVICE USING THE MAIN "ON/
OFF" SWITCH.
• FOR INSTALLATION/MAINTENANCE, TURN "OFF"
THE IFC BY DISCONNECTING THE MAIN POWER
SUPPLY PLUG.
