Tempest Lantern 24v
Before You Begin
!
Read this entire manual before you use your new Lantern, especially the section "Safety Precautions" on
page 4. Failure to follow the instructions may result in property damage, bodily injury, or even death.
!
Remove any cover from the Lantern prior to operation (the optional stainless-steel rain cap may be left in
place.
!
Inspect the Lantern to make sure it is free of debris or objects that may have fallen into the Lantern prior
to operation.
!
Inspect the Lantern, burner, and supply lines for any damage prior to operation. The burner must be
replaced prior to the appliance being put into operation if it is evident that the burner is damaged. Use
only Travis Industries replacement burners.
!
It may be difficult to see the burner operating in direct sunlight.
Operating Instructions
WARNING
:
This gas Lantern is automated, it runs off of an electric ignition system and may not be lit
with a lighter or matches.
How your Lantern works
Ignition
When you switch the Lantern on, electrical power is supplied to the control module, starting the ignition sequence.
During ignition the igniter will glow red (the ignitor is visible behind the burner rings on the Lantern). Gas is then
turned on to the Lantern. The Lantern will ignite and the flame sensor will signal the control module that the
Lantern is lit and the igniter will then turn off.
NOTE: In rare cases, the Lantern will fail to light. In these cases the Lantern will wait 30 seconds, then re-start
the 35-second ignition sequence. The control module will try to re-start the Lantern a total of 3 times. If it fails to
light after three tries, the Lantern will then shut-off. To re-start, turn the switch off, wait 3 seconds, then turn the
switch on.
Lantern in Operation
The Lantern, once lit, will stay lit until power to the Lantern is turned off. If gas flow is interrupted, or if wind blows-
out the flame, the Lantern will start the ignition sequence. If you cycle power to a Hot Lantern (turn off and back
on) it may take up to 1 minute for the Lantern to start the ignition sequence.
Multiple Lanterns
Each Lantern operates independently. If you install multiple Lanterns on one power switch and need to turn one
of the Lanterns off, shut the gas off to the specific Lantern. Shutting one Lantern off will not affect the others.
Safety Circuit
Each Lantern has a built in safety circuit that only allows gas to flow during the ignition sequence and when the
Lantern is lit. This prevents gas build-up. The safety circuit relies upon a flame sensor to keep the gas valve
open. If the flame goes out the control module will shut the gas off then try to relight the Lantern. Your Lantern
can not be operated manually, if a problem persists consult the trouble shooting guide (pg 24) and call a qualified
service technician if needed.
Lantern Operation Options
Your Lantern is operated from an electrical circuit similar to an exterior light. You can set up one or many
Lanterns on a single power supply. Lanterns may be set up and operated from any system that a house or
exterior light could be operated from. Some examples are:
Wall
switch
Smart phone when used with “Smart” wall switch
Smart home control system
Timer
Remote
control
