HOW TO ADJUST GAS PRESSURE

Laying the fire

• Unpack the coals/pebbles contained in a clear plastic bag and lay a row of coals/pebbles on the vermiculite along the back of the burner tray leaving approximately 12-15mm between them.
• Leave spaces at the edges to allow free flow of gas.
• Place a further row of coals/pebbles directly in front of the first row but staggered so that the second row of coals are behind the gaps of the first row leaving approximately 12-15mm between the rows of each coal/pebble.
• Lay further rows of staggered coals/pebbles depending on the size of the basket grate.
• Once the bottom layer is completed, build up 2-3 tiers of coals in a honeycomb pattern to form an elongated pyramid.
• Lay the coals/pebbles so that some irregularity to the pile through which the flames may lick, is created.
• Your aim is to build “windows” into the fire through which the radiant effect may show but at the same time, not leaving such large gaps between the coals/ pebbles that excessive air may enter and “damp down” the red glow.
• After the fire has been alight for |5 minutes, you may wish to add the odd coal/pebble or even relay the fire completely. Allow to cool before touching the coals/pebbles.
• Experience will enable you to obtain a pleasing appearance with suitable heat output, but please bear in mind that it is important to maintain the general pattern described above and indicated in illustrations.

GENERAL GUIDE FOR SET-UP OF NOVA MV SYSTEM.

1. Bleed all air from gas lines.
2. With the main burner functioning, adjust the inlet pressure regulator to supply gas to the appliance within the design parameters of the appliance manufacturer.
3. Make certain that the thermocouple and thermo-generator are fully inserted and tightened into their receptacles in the pilot head. The thermocouple should be threaded into the valve hand-tight, plus % turn with a wrench.
4. Verify that the system is wired properly, and that all connections are clean and tight. Thermo-generator leads are connected to the TPTH and TP connections of the main operator. Thermostat and wall switch wires are connected to the TPTH, and TH terminals of the valve.
5. Turn OFF/PILOT/ON knob to the PILOT position and depress knob, while lighting the pilot with a match or piezo ignitor.
6. Continue to hold the knob down until enough current is generated to engage the safety magnet.(Mill-Volt Plus systems use a thermocouple to power the safety magnet, Millivolt systems utilise power from the thermo-generator).
7. After the pilot has been lit for approximately three minutes , and only the thermogenerator wires connected to the main operator head, measure the voltage across TPTH and TP. This open circuit voltage should be between 500mV and 750mv. Tune the pilot adjustment screw until the mV reading falls within these parameters. (Counter clockwise increases the mV reading, clockwise decreases)
8. With the pilot adjusted properly, place a jumper wire between TPTH and TH. Take mV reading across the TPTH and TP terminals on the valve. This closed circuit voltage should remain above 300mV.
9. Remove jumper wire from the TPTH and TH connections, and re-connect the thermostat and wall switch wire to the same terminals. Take the closed circuit voltage as described in the previous step. This closed circuit should remain above 175mV.
10. Rotate OFF/PILOT/ON knob to the ON position. Main burner will light.
11. Verify operation of the thermostat and wall switch by cycling each individually, while observing the main burner operation.
12. Rotate the OFF/PILOT/ON knob to the OFF position. Both the pilot and main burner will be extinguished.

1. Bleed air from gas line.
2. Check stop cocks are in on position.(No blockage in line)
