  • Page 1 PROFLAME DFC CONTROL BOARD USE AND INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Read the instructions before use.
  • Page 2 IMPORTANT The Proflame DFC, is the flame ignition and control board, part of the Proflame System, which can be made of these elements: • Standalone Proflame system Proflame DFC: the flame ignition and control board Proflame DFC main wirings Proflame pilot assembly...
  • Page 3 INTRODUCTION The Proflame DFC (Digital Fireplace Control) board is a device that allows the automatic ignition and pilot flame supervision, to command the functions of a hearth appliance. It’s configured to control the ON/OFF main burner operation, giving the choice of both IPI (intermittent pilot ignition), and CPI (continuous pilot ignition) modes.

    - the electrical specifications; - the operating temperatures and the components that have to be directly exposed to flame. GENERAL CONNECTION & SET-UP GUIDE FOR PROFLAME DFC BOARD General Connection & Set-Up Guide for Proflame DFC board: 1. The DFC board should be placed in a low temperature area of the appliance.
  • Page 5 FUNCTIONS Preliminary check of a Standalone Proflame system Before applying any power supply to the DFC board please verify that the electrical connections are in accordance to Fig. 2 Initializing the System for the first time Set the main burner flame ON/OFF command to its OFF position. If installed, set the pilot flame mode selector to its IPI position.
  • Page 6 PRELIMINARY CHECK OF A REMOTELY COMMANDED SYSTEM Before applying any power supply to the system, check that the electrical connections are according: • to Fig. 3 for Proflame system with the electrical modulation, and/or the fan control module, and/or the split flow valve REMOTE 120V OUT REMOTE...
  • Page 7 INITIALIZING THE SYSTEM FOR THE FIRST TIME Place the 3 position slider switch in the “OFF” position as indicated in Fig. 5. PRG Key 14 PIN terminal Fig. 5  Position Slider Install the 4 AA batteries into the receiver battery bay. Note the polarity of the batteries and insert them into the battery bay as indicated on the Battery cover (+/-).
  • Page 8 When the batteries are replaced the “beep” will be emitted from the Receiver when the ON/OFF key is pressed (see Initialization of The System). in IPI (intermittent pilot ignition) mode the board upon receiving a main burner command operation, will start its functional cycle from a completely shut OFF flame state, by initially igniting the pilot flame, and keeping it under supervision before and during the main burner operation;...

  • Page 10 .. Pilot-ON In this state the Pilot Flame sequence is executed, and it will lead the system to a continuous Pilot flame condition through these steps: if the previous state was Turn-OFF, the Pilot Flame detection is turned ON, a Pilot Flame check sequence is completed to avoid parasitic flame detection, the spark generator is activated, the Pilot gas valve solenoid is set to open the gas flow to the pilot hood, in the mean time the Main Burner gas valve solenoid is set to close the gas flow;...
  • Page 11 - turning all the system power supplies OFF for a defined number of seconds, and then restoring a power supply back ON, - a complete manual reset sequence: since the command reset sequence can be commanded through a remote receiver the lockout can be defined as Soft Lockout. The return of the system to normal operation must be checked under safe conditions by the user and / or service personnel.
