•
Ensure all connectors to the module are secure.
•
Ensure gas is flowing to the FPB.

TROUBLE SHOOTING THE FIREGEAR FIRE PIT NOWL SYSTEM 19’’, 25’’ DIRECT SPARK IGNITION
The Firegear Fire Pit Bowl System is controlled by a module inside the value box under the burner. The control module (AF-5000 MOD)
has built-in error detection for common operating fault conditions. When the module detects an error, it will emit a series of beeps. The
beeping pattern will help to determine the cause of the operating fault.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Fault Codes
The AF-5000MOD control module has built-in error detection for several common operating fault conditions. When the control module
detects an error, it will emit a series of beeps. The beeping pattern will help to determine the cause of the operating fault.
Ignition Safety (Protection for Ignition system):
Error Code: One beep every one second.
Description of Fault: Warn users if the pilot is not successfully
ignited in 15 seconds.
How to Clear: Press OFF then ON buttons to re-attempt ignition.
What to Check:
Ensure gas supply is turned on.
•
Ensure that the gas line is purged of air. Air is common in the gas line if the appliance has just been installed, has been discon-
•
nected then re-connected to the gas line, or if the appliance has been unused for an extended period of time.
Ensure there is no blockage in the gas line.
•
Make sure that the flame sensor electrode is clean. Soot buildup will insulate the electrode and will not allow for proper flame
•
sensing.
Ensure orange/white leads from module are plugged into the “PILOT” connection on the valve body.
•
Ensure green/white leads from module are plugged into the “MAIN” connection on the valve body.
•
Verify lead from igniter on electrode assembly is connected to the “I” terminal on the module.
•
Verify lead from flame sensor on electrode assembly is connected to the “S” terminal on the module.
•
Verify that the black ground lead from the module is connected to a proper ground on the appliance.

REV 9/8/09 Page 8
Sensor Safety (Protection for Flame sensor):
Error Code: 4 Beeps every one second (Constant beeping)
Description of Fault: Warn users that the flame sensor detects a flame already present when ignition sequence is initiated. This fault
will also occur if the flame sensor is shorted to ground.
How to Clear: Press OFF then ON buttons to re-attempt normal ignition.
What to Check:
Check if flame is actually present when valve is turned OFF (valve replacement necessary if yes).
•
Ensure that the flame sensor electrode is not touching the burner or another metal surface.
•
Check if the flame sensor wiring is worn, frayed, or otherwise damaged.
•
Replace electrode assembly.
•
Replace module.
•
Thermal Safety (Overheat Protection):
Error Code: 4 Beeps every 2 seconds.
Description of Fault: Warn users that the modules internal temperature has exceeded 170 deg. F.
How to Clear: Module’s internal temperature must cool to below 160 deg. F and then press ON button.
