8.3 Proflame 2 Remote Control
8.3.1 Features Overview
The Proflame 2 Integrated Fireplace Control (IFC) module
incorporates electronic remote control of the Jøtul
GI 535 functions. Together with the hand-held transmitter,
the IFC controls front and rear burner operation both
manually and thermostatically. It will also control flame
modulation, blower functions, and accent lighting.
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 hand-held 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 3, 1.5v AAA batteries.
Remote Control Receiver
The receiver is integrated with the IFC board which is
located within the right side of the firebox.
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 fan
system and the accent light, however, when no line power
is available, these features will not operate. 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 two 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. 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 attempt to relight the 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 to keep the main
burner lit, the system will “lock-out”.
T
o clear a lock-out condition:
1. In either IPI or CPI mode, key to OFF for 5 seconds.
2. Key to ON for 5 seconds.
3. Key back OFF again and wait for the audible IFC signal
indicating the lock-out has been cleared. If no signal is
heard, repeat these steps until a signal is heard.
Under certain conditions wherein draft is unstable
or weak, it is advisable to run the system in Continuous
Pilot mode (CPI). Extreme cold weather, a long vent run,
or high wind conditions are factors that can interfere
with IPI functionality. A continuous pilot may generate
sufficient heat to help maintain the draft strength
required for rectification to occur.
WARNING:
OBSERVE CAUTION NEAR THE GLASS PANEL.
THE GLASS MAY SHATTER IF STRUCK BY AN OBJECT.
ALWAYS HANDLE THE GLASS PANEL WITH CARE.
ATTENTION:
FOR INSTALLATION OR MAINTENANCE, CLOSE THE
SUPPLY GAS COCK, SET BURNER SWITCH “OFF”,
AND DISCONNECT POWER FROM THE FIREPLACE.
