CAUTION
Disconnect power before performing any work on this control panel
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION DIRECTIONS
1.
The firepit control panel comes pre-wired to the fireplace and all internal components. If the cables that connect the panel to the
fireplace need to be disconnected in order to be run inside of a conduit or raceway, follow the attached schematic to re-connect
the wiring.
2.
Mount the control box in an appropriate location before operating the firepit.
3. Plug the control panel’s power cord into a standard 120V outlet connected to an adequately sized circuit.

FIREPIT OPERATION
1.
Ensure all gas and electrical connections are made.
2.
Turn the firepit on with the toggle switch mounted on the side of the control panel.
3.
The control panel will supply power to the Honeywell smart valve. The glow plug will light the pilot and establish a pilot flame. The
pilot flame is recognized by the flame sensor rod and sends a signal to the valve to open the main burner. Any distortion of the
flame pattern will give the valve a faulty signal and turn the main burner off. If the air movement of the system is too erratic, the air
may move the pilot flame from the sensor rod and turn the valve off. After a pilot failure, the valve will continue to light the pilot
two times, and then go into a 5 minute lockout mode. To reset the smart valve, simply turn the toggle switch off and then back on.
CAUTION
Make sure that all of the air is purged out of the gas lines
Installing the Control Panel
The control panel should be installed in a location that is accessible for start up and future service. The inverter may
sometimes produce a whining sound, this should be considered when selecting the panel location. Should the noise from
the panel be a concern, we recommend that the box containing the panel be lined with a sound proofing material.
