“Why use CPI mode”?
There are several reasons why you may choose to use CPI mode. When
a flue is cold it can be difficult to light the appliance. It can take a bit of
time (particularly on tall vents) to initialize vent action. This can result in
“lifting” or “ghosting” of the flames during the first two to three minutes
of operation. It is also possible to encounter times when the fireplace
fails to light successfully. The fireplace will then attempt to re-light a
second or third time depending on prevailing temperatures or altitude.
When in CPI mode the pilot also keeps the system warm. During a “cold”
start, condensation will normally form on the inner glass surface of the
door. This condensation will quickly dry, however, the condensation
tends to run down the glass and cause some streaking. CPI mode helps
to minimize this issue. If CPI mode is used during the winter months
the energy it takes to run the pilot is partially recovered as heat into
the building, so it does not waste as much energy as running a pilot
in the off season.
A connector is supplied with this unit that can be plugged into the
wire harness connected to the controller. This Jumper Cable gives the
Remote Control the ability to operate the CPI / IPI switch and set the
unit to operate in either condition. CPI means “Continuous Pilot Ignition”
or “Standing Pilot” as it is commonly known. IPI means “Intermittent
Pilot Ignition”, which only initializes the pilot when you are going to be
using the appliance.
The difference between IPI and CPI:
IPI (Intermittent Pilot Ignition) Mode:
is a fuel saving mode in
which the pilot is only used when the main burner is on.
CPI (Continuous Pilot Ignition) Mode:
The pilot runs continuously
even when the main burner is off.
Installing the CPI Jumper Cable
1).
Open the control box drawer.
2).
Remove the bag containing the Jumper Cable from the wire
harness connected to the controller.
3).
Find the corresponding plug attached to the control wire harness
and connect the CPI jumper.
4).
See operation section to turn remote into CPI mode.
