How It Works

1. Start-Up: This is done by use of a wall switch or remote control. The system completes initial safety checks and starts the pilot gas flow when the ON command is received. After 5 seconds the hot surface igniter glows igniting the pilot flame. When the system confirms pilot flame present, the main burner gas will flow ignited by the pilot flame. 
2. Operation: While enjoying the ambiance of your fire pit, the system is at work monitoring flame status, internal temperatures/voltages and other safety parameters. If flame loss does occur, the system will turn off all gas flow, and then restart by automatically commencing Start sequence.
3. Shut Down: To turn OFF the fire pit simply use wall switch, remote control or whole house system.

• Start via wall switch, remote or whole house system; auto re-light if flame is lost.
• Ignition is complete using a robust and reliable Hot Surface igniter.
• On/Off models: Use optional wall switch or Remote Control available.
• High/Low Flame Control Models: Adjust high setting to low setting- ~45% turn down (Remote Control included).
• 120vac: Standard outdoor grounded power cord- simply plug into GFCI outlet.
• 24vac Option: Typically used poolside or with other lower voltage requirements.
• Natural Gas or Liquid Propane: Factory built & tested for either fuel.
