   CAUTION: Please note battery orientation while installing them. Incorrect orientation may damage battery, cause fire hazard and the fireplace may not function properly.

2. Follow the instructions on the “Proflame2 Operation and Maintenance Manual- XG0677” to install batteries on the remote control.

3. Turn the gas supply ON.

4. Program the remote control to the control module (see “Proflame2 Operation and Maintenance Manual- XG0677”).

5. Check the stepper motor for gas leaks and ensure no leak.

6. Turn the fireplace ON and modulate the flame using the remote control and ensure proper operation (see “Proflame 2 Operation and Maintenance Manual XG0677”).

Operation with MAIN Power

1. Remove the four batteries from the battery holder
2. Plug the Control Module Power cord to PPO box. See Figure 3.
3. Turn the fireplace ON using the remote control and confirm operation with main power ON.

Note: You may re-install the backup batteries to the battery holder at this point to ensure that fireplace is operational during power outage. It is recommended to check and replace the backup batteries at least once a year. More frequent battery replacement may be required in case of extended operation on backup batteries.

“Why use CPI mode”?

There are several reasons why you may choose to use CPI mode. When a flue is cold it can be difficult to light the appliance. It can take a bit of time (particularly on tall vents) to initialize vent action. This can result in “lifting” or “ghosting” of the flames during the first two to three minutes of operation. It is also possible to encounter times when the fireplace fails to light successfully. The fireplace will then attempt to re-light a second or third time depending on prevailing temperatures or altitude. When in CPI mode the pilot also keeps the system warm. During a “cold” start, condensation will normally form on the inner glass surface of the door. This condensation will quickly dry, however, the condensation tends to run down the glass and cause some streaking. CPI mode helps to resolve this issue. If CPI mode is used during the winter months the energy it takes to run the pilot is partially recovered as heat into the building, so it does not waste as much energy as running  a pilot in the off season.

A connector is supplied with this unit that can be plugged into the wire harness connected to the controller. This Jumper Cable gives the Remote Control the ability to operate the CPI / IPI switch and set the unit to operate in either condition. CPI means “Continuous Pilot Ignition” or “Standing Pilot” as it is commonly known. IPI means “Intermittent Pilot Ignition”, which only initializes the pilot when you are going to be using the appliance.

The difference between IPI and CPI

IPI (Intermittent Pilot Ignition) Mode: is a fuel saving mode in which the pilot is only used when the main burner is on.

CPI (Continuous Pilot Ignition) Mode: The pilot runs continuously even when the main burner is off. (Typically only used for winter months)

Installing the CPI Jumper Cable

1. Open the control box drawer.
   
   Figure 19. Open the control box drawer

2. Remove the bag containing the Jumper Cable from the wire harness connected to the controller.
   
   Figure 19.b Locate Jumper cable

3. Find the corresponding plug attached to the control wire harness and connect the CPI jumper.
   
   Figure 19.c Connect CPI

4. See operation section to turn remote into CPI mode.
