! IMPORTANT
More frequent cleaning may be required as necessary. It is imperative that control compartment, burners and circulating air passageways of the heater be kept clean.
EXTERIOR SERVICING
The exterior Platinum Smart-Heat Series Heater components are constructed from stainless steel, and high temperature coated black paint. For all exterior black parts (excluding fascia trims), a brushed finish has been used. This is not a coating and under prolonged use, may slightly discolour from high temperatures emitted by the heater. This is a normal occurrence and does not affect the operation of the appliance.
Replacement parts can be purchased to restore the heater to its original appearance from Platinum Smart-Heat Heating Pty Ltd. (Refer to parts list in manual).

! IMPORTANT
Do not apply any additional surface coating to the heater under any circumstances. Use of additional coating other than those applied during manufacture could result in hazardous reactions such as toxic fumes or fires. Additional coatings will void the warranty.

OPERATION DATA – HONEYWELL CONTROL BOX

The following operation sequence is valid only where the components are installed according to the manufactures assembly and installation instructions. Please do not modify the wiring configuration, gas train or any other part of the heater assembly.
Application
The Honeywell electronic gas burner control system is suitable for atmospheric gas burners for non-permanent operation. Although the Honeywell unit is available non volatile lockout, its configuration in the Platinum Smart-Heat series heaters limits it to volatile lockout, i.e. the restart from this condition is possible by the interruption and subsequent restoration of the mains power supply.
Features:
· Compliance with AGA standard for automatic gas burner flame monitoring and control systems
· Compliance with EN 298 (European standard for automatic gas burner flame monitoring and control systems)
· Compliance with AGA (Australian standard for automatic gas burner flame monitoring and control systems)
· Flame monitoring based on rectification property of the flame (ionisation)

OPERATION DATA – HONEYWELL CONTROL BOX CONTINUED…

Directions for use
· Automatic controls are safety devices and shall not be opened. The manufacturer’s responsibility and guarantee are invalid if the control is unduly opened.
· A regulation shutdown must occur every 24hours to enable the unit to check its own efficiency (systems for non permanent operation)
· Connect and disconnect the unit only after switching off the power supply
· Avoid exposing the unit to dripping water
· Ventilation and the lowest temperature ensures the longest life of the control
Electrical Installation
· Live and Neutral should be connected correctly; a mistake could cause a dangerous situation.
· Before starting the system check cables carefully for incorrect installation
· The earth terminal of the control, the metal frame of the burner and the earth on the mains supply must be well connected

Operation
At every start, the control unit proceeds to a self-checking of its own components. During the pre-purge or waiting time (TW) the internal circuit makes a test of the flame signal amplifier. Extraneous light or fault in the amplifier will result in the simulation of a flame which will prevent the control from starting.
At the end of the waiting or pre-purge time, the gas valve is energised and the ignition device is operated. In this way, the safety time (TS) begins.
If a flame is detected during the safety time, the ignition device is inhibited and the gas valve remains energised.
If the control does not detect any flame signal during the safety time, at the end of safety time (TS), the unit proceeds to lockout and the gas valve and ignition device are switched off.
If the established flame signal is lost, (during the safety time or during operation thereafter) this will cause the ignition device to be reactivated within 1 second.
If the burner does not light within 25 seconds of ignition reactivation, the heater will enter failure lockout mode and must be reset.
