WIRE DIAGRAM – MILLIVOLT

STEP BY STEP PRE-INSTALLATION

This Millivolt Control must be installed by a qualified professional service technician. Instructions must be followed carefully when installing to ensure proper performance.
These instructions must be used as a supplement to the instructions supplied with the Grand Canyon Gas Logs burner system. Follow the burner system instructions and make adjustments as appropriate for the addition of a millivolt system. Use gas pipe sealing compound that is resistant to all gasses (or Teflon tape) and apply to all male pipe connections. DO NOT apply pipe sealing compound to any flare connections. Make sure that all connections are tight and leak tested.

This Millivolt control system must be installed by a qualified gas professional. These instructions MUST be followed to ensure proper performance and safety. Failure to do so could result in serious injury or death.
Millivolt valve system is shipped pre-assembled with fittings and heat shields already attached.
For systems ordered “Assembled” the valve system is pre-assembled and tested at the factory before shipping. Perform the installation with extreme care ensuring not to damage the valve or pilot assembly or other connections. It is also recommended that the valve assembly is performed outside of the fireplace.

Pre-Installation –
For assembly of control system to an existing gas log system, ensure that all the media has been removed and the burner is clear of all dust and debris. Check to ensure that the valve system and burner are labeled for the gas type supplied to the fireplace (Natural Gas or Propane). Also check to ensure that the proper gas pressure is supplied to appliance (Minimum 5″ W.C Natural Gas, Minimum 10″ W.C Propane).

Turn off gas supply and electrical power to equipment before servicing.

PIPING

1. Check replacement valve for multiple outlets (side outlets). If it has them, be sure all unused outlets are plugged using the socket plugs provided.
2. Pipe or tubing must be clean and free of scale and dirt.
3. Make sure gas piping is pressure tested before control is connected. High pressure can damage control causing a hazardous condition. Do not subject control to more than 1/2 PSI, (14” W.C.) inlet pressure.
4. If it is not already installed, a drip leg (sediment trap) must be added to the gas supply line to control. (See figure to the right.) All piping must comply with local codes and ordinances and with National Fuel Gas Code (ANSI Z223. 1/NFPA, No. 54).
5. Using pipe thread compound or tape (suitable for gas), apply a small amount on the male pipe threads. Leave the first two threads clean. Never use com-pound on female threads as it might be pushed into the control body.
6. The gas valve is multiposition and can be mount-ed in any position (except upside down) without affecting its operation.
7. Install gas valve so gas flow conforms with the inlet and outlet of the control.
8. DO NOT insert any object other than suitable pipe or tubing in the inlet or outlet of this control. Internal damage may occur and result in a hazardous con-dition. A backup wrench should only be used on the wrench boss provided for this purpose, never on the body of the control, as this could distort the casting.

NOTE: Do not overtighten any pipe connections, as this could crack the valve body. A valve with a cracked valve body will not be warrantied.

INSTALLATION

Remove all the burner components from the burner kit and the valve control system parts from the boxes. Locate the gas inlet on the left side of the burner. Using a pipe wrench, rotate the gas inlet 180 degrees so that the inlet is facing the front of the burner (this is for ALL 2-Burners, Glass Burners, Kiva Burners, front view and see through). For 3-Burners & Jumbo/Jumbo Slimline Burners (front view and see through) rotate the gas inlet 225 degrees so that the gas inlet to facing the front of the burner pointing to the ground.

Locate the sliver gas control (710-502) as well as the (2) black plugs, (1) 49-88 (½” MIP x ½” Flare elbow) & (1) 48-88 (½” MIP x ½” Flare Straight) fittings. Review Fig_. Using proper pipe compound thread, the 48-88 into the “IN” section of the valve and on the opposite side thread in (1) black plug. Wrench until both fittings are tight. With the “IN” of the valve pointed toward you, insert the 49-88 on the left and the black plug on the right using proper pipe compound. Wrench until both fittings are tight. For ALL 2-Burners, Glass Burn-ers, Kiva Burners, front view and see through the 49-88 should be point back towards the “IN” of the valve. Fig. 1. For 3-Burners & Jumbo/Jumbo Slimline Burners (front view and see through) the 49-88 should be pointing up at a 45 degree angle. Fig. 2.
For ALL 2-Burners, Glass Burners, Kiva Burners, front view and see through the 49-88 should point back towards the “IN” of the valve. For 3-Burners & Jumbo/Jumbo Slimline Burners (front view and see through) the 49-88 should be pointing up at a 45 degree angle. See Fig. 3 to verify.
Locate the US-4-8 (½” x ½” swivel flare) union fitting. With an open ended wrench connect the 49-88 on the valve to the gas inlet on the burner and wrench tight, see Fig. 4.
Locate the pilot mounting bracket. This can be found on the back of the 2-Burner & Kiva, side of the 3-Burn-er and Jumbo Series and the pan of the glass burner. Screw in using the location holes in the pilot bracket with self-tapping or #10-32 machine screws.
See Fig. 5, make sure that the pilot hood has (1) flame pointing towards the thermopile and the other flame towards the burner.

Coil the pilot tubing using proper bending techniques and insert the ¼” flare end into the “PILOT” connec-tion on the valve. Wrench until tight. Fig. 6.
Coil the Thermopile lead and connect the terminals to the valve. Color sequence does not matter, connect (1) lead to the TP and (1) lead to the TH/TP. Fig. 7.

For remote or wall switch installation, connect the ends of the terminal to the TH and the TH/TP connection on the valve. Fig. 8.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Warning
L.P. GAS APPLICATIONS

To avoid possible injury, fire and explosion, please read and follow these precautions and all instructions on appliance before lighting the pilot. L.P. (Propane) gas is heavier than air and will remain at floor level if there is a leak. Before lighting, sniff at floor level. If you smell gas, follow these rules:

1. Get all people out of building.
2. DO NOT light matches. DO NOT turn electrical lights or switches on or off in area. DO NOT use an electric fan to remove gas from area.
3. Shut off gas at L.P. tank outside of building.
4. Telephone gas company and fire department.

Ask instructions. Before hanging up, give your name, address, and phone number.

DO NOT go back into the building. If help is coming, wait for them to arrive.
If L.P. tank runs out of fuel, turn off gas appliance. After L.P. tank is refilled, appliance must be relit according to manufac-turer’s instructions. If the gas control has been exposed to WATER in any way, DO NOT try to use it. It must be re-placed. DO NOT attempt repair on gas valve or appliance.
Tampering is DANGEROUS and voids all warranties.

PROCEDURE FOR LIGHTING OR RELIGHTING

Dials must be operated by hand. DO NOT use pliers, wrenches or other tools to turn dials.
The Gas Cock Dial has a dual function:

• A) Complete control of gas to pilot and main burner.
• B) When in pilot position, it is the reset mechanism for the automatic pilot.

The Gas Cock Dial cannot be turned to “OFF” position without first depressing dial in “PILOT” position and then rotating to “OFF”.

1. Depress and turn Gas Cock Dial to “OFF” position.
2. Turn temperature dial (hydraulic models) or wall thermostat (24V and millivolt models) to “OFF” or lowest setting.
3. Wait at least 5 minutes (10 minutes for L.P. gas) to allow gas which may have accumulated in burner compartment to escape.
4. Turn Gas Cock Dial to the “PILOT” position.
5. Hold match at pilot burner.
   CAUTION: If pilot lights without depressing Gas Cock Dial replace control. Depress and hold Gas Cock Dial while lighting pilot burner. Allow pilot to burn approximately one half minute. (1-1/2 minutes for millivolt models) before releasing Gas Cock Dial. If pilot does not remain lighted, repeat operation allowing longer period before releasing Gas Cock Dial. (Adjust pilot, if necessary, as noted under “Pilot Burner Adjustment.”) The thermo- couple or thermopile may also be defective and should be checked out.(See SERVICE INSTRUCTIONS.)

LEAK TEST
Test for gas leaks after valve installation with main burner on. Use a rich soapy water, and paint all piping and tubing joints liberally. Bubbles are indicative of a leak.

SERVICE INSTRUCTIONS

CAUTION: If control has been exposed to water in any way, it must be replaced. If gas valve fails to shut off, do not turn off electrical power. Turn off gas supply allowing fan or circulating pump (if so equipped) to con- tinue running until system has cooled. Replace control.

Millivolt System
The millivolt system and individual components may be checked with a millivolt meter having a 0-1000 MV range. Before checking system, be certain wall thermo-stat lead wire does not exceed length recommended in Wiring Section Table, and all connections are clean and tight.

Conduct each check shown in chart below by con-necting meter test leads to terminals as indicated. All readings are closed circuit.

 SERVICE INSTRUCTIONS

• A. TEST RESULTS
  If the reading is more than 100 millivolts and the au-tomatic valve does not come on, replace the valve operator. If the closed circuit reading is less than 100 millivolts, determine the cause by proceeding with steps “B” and “C”.

• B. TEST RESULTS
  If “B” reading is less than 325 MV, clean and tighten all electrical connections and adjust pilot if necessary to increase millivolt output. If un- able to adjust to at least the specified minimum, change the thermopile.
  When proper thermopile output is obtained the magnet may then be checked. With pilot in operation, allow meter reading to stabilize.
  Extinguish pilot burner and note meter reading at drop-out point of magnet. If magnet remains locked up to a reading of 120 MV or less, the magnet is good.

• C. TEST RESULTS
  If “C” reading is more than that specifed for the system being checked, clean and tighten thermostat leads and connections, shorten lead wires if possible or use heavier gauge wire. Rapidly cycle thermostat to clean contacts, or change the thermostat.

PILOT BURNER ADJUSTMENT

1. Remove pilot adjustment cap.
2. Adjust pilot key to provide properly sized flame on the thermopile. The flame should cover the upper 3/8” of the tip.
3. Replace pilot adjustment cap.

IMPORTANT: Do not use GAS COCK DIAL to adjust gas output on 710 models.
REGULATOR CONVERSION OR REPLACEMENT
CAUTION: Main burner and pilot orifices must be changed when regulator is converted from one type of gas to another.
710 Series valves can be converted from nonregulat-ed to regulated operation by adding one of the 1751 Series regulators. To convert from regulated to nonreg-ulated, order Part Number 1751-007.

To convert L.P. gas 11.0” W.C. use 1751-016.

1. Depress and turn Gas Cock Dial to “OFF”.
2. Remove two screws, regulator cartridge and gasket.
3. Install new gasket and regulator (this assembly must be positioned properly). Use new screws supplied with regulator and tighten down.
4. Relight appliance by following steps 4, 5 and 6 of procedure for lighting and relighting.
5. Test for leaks around the regulator using soap solution with main burner “ON”.

PRESSURE REGULATOR ADJUSTMENTS
Adjustment of the pressure regulator is not normally necessary since it is preset at the factory. However, field adjustment may be accomplished as follows:
NOTE: Manometer attachment may be accomplished at pressure tap plug, below control outlet, as shown in figure below.

MODELS WITH OUTLET PRESSURE TAP
NEXT TO OUTLET.

1. Manometer or gauge attachment may be accomplished at pressure tap plug.
2. Remove regulator adjustment screw cap. (Top of regulator.)
