IPI Electronic Ignition System

Overview
The IPI system is an advanced burner controller that
provides you with the option of having either a Standing-
Pilot, or an intermittent igniting system. This alternating
mode is controlled by the CPI/IPI Switch (Continuous Pilot
Ignition/Intermittent Pilot Ignition) located on the IPI
System Box. The difference between a Standing-Pilot and
an Intermittent-Pilot is in whether the pilot stays lit or shuts
off:
In Standing-Pilot, the pilot assembly is lit by the IPI Main
Module and continues to stay lit until 1) the CPI/IPI Switch
is switched to the IPI position; 2) a loss of electrical power
(battery and AC source), 3) the flame sensor loses its
signal, 4) the fuel supply discontinues, or 5) the IPI Main
Module malfunctions.
In the Intermittent-Pilot mode, the pilot shuts off when the
appliance is not in use. The advantage of this mode is that
fuel is not consumed when the fireplace is not operating.
NOTE: In some jurisdiction, Intermittent-Pilot is required.
That means the pilot cannot remain lit when the appliance
is not operating.
Components
The core of the IPI system is the Main Module and the IPI
Valve. With these two components the system is able to
operate a gas fireplace. There are also other components
available to complement the IPI system.
IPI System Cover: Is essential in keeping the components
at their proper operating temperatures. DO NOT
OPERATE THE APPLIANCE WITHOUT THIS COVER.
Modulating Servo Motor: Is an add-on valve component
that permits HI/LO functionality to be controlled by the
remote. Contrary to this feature is a Manual HI/LO Control
Knob. The Modulating Servo Motor requires the Remote
system to be present.
Backup Battery Pack: This component permits the IPI system to operate without the need for an external AC Adapter
power source. The advantage to using the battery backup is that in the case of a power failure, the appliance is still
operable.
NOTE: In certain instances the IPI Main Module requires resetting. This can occur if the system is unable to ignite the pilot
or the main burner in the allotted time period. The IPI is programmed to lockout all commands. To reset this lockout you
must deplete the system of all electrical power. This means to remove the batteries from the Battery Pack, remove the
batteries from the Remote Receiver (if applicable), and disconnect the AC Adapter from the system. Leave the power off
for approximately 25 seconds to clear its lockout.
Remote Receiver: This component provides the capability of controlling the appliance with a wireless remote transmitter.
There are two switches to note on the receiver module:
The first switch on the Remote Receiver module is a 3-position slide switch. This switch is used to either manually turn the
main burner ON, activate the receiver to begin communication with the transmitter, or turn the main burner completely
OFF. The position of the slide switch designates these functions respectively.
The second is the small round pushbutton [PRG] used for programming the receiver to respond to a designated remote.
Therefore to program the system ensure that the transmitter is first turned OFF. Then, ensure that there is sufficient
electrical power going to the Receiver module and a fresh set of batteries in the transmitter. Now switch the slide switch to
the middle [REMOTE] position and then push the small pushbutton to begin programming. Bring the transmitter close to
