5. Module Reset
H. Control Module Operation
This module may lock-out under certain conditions.
When this occurs, the appliance will not ignite or
respond to commands. The module will go into lock-out
mode by emitting three audible beeps, then continuously
displaying a RED/GREEN error code at its status
indicator LED.
1. The control module has an ON/OFF/REMOTE selector
switch that must be set. See Figure 2.3.
OFF Position: Appliance will ignore all power inputs and
will not respond to any commands from a wall switch or
remote. The unit should be in the OFF position during
installation, service, battery installation, fuel conversion,
and in the event that the control goes into LOCK-OUT
mode as a result of an error code.
•
Check battery tray. Remove batteries if installed.
Batteries should only be installed for use during power
outages. See Section G.
ON Position: Appliance will ignite and run continuously
in the HI flame setting, with no adjustment in flame
output. This mode of operation is primarily used for
initial installation or power outage operation with battery
backup.
•
•
•
Locate the module selector switch. (See Figure 2.3).
Set the module selector switch to the OFF position.
Wait five (5) minutes to allow possible accumulated gas
to clear.
REMOTE Position: Appliance will initiate commands
from an optional wired wall switch and/or the wireless
remote (RC300).
•
Set the module selector switch to ON or REMOTE
position.
•
Start the appliance.
2. If using a wired wall switch with the module in REMOTE
mode, the flame output can be adjusted with the HI/LO
selector switch on the module. See Figure 2.3. Note
that the flame HI/LO selector switch will become inactive
once an optional remote control (RC200/RC300) is
programmed to the control module. Note that the control
module will always ignite the fireplace on HI and remain
so for the initial 10 seconds of operation. If the HI/LO
is switched to the LO position, the flame output will
automatically drop to the lowest setting after the flame
has been established for 10 sec. After this 10 second
period, the flame can be adjusted from HI to LO with
the switch.
WARNING! Risk of Explosion! DO NOT press the mod-
ule reset switch more than one time within a five minute
time period. Gas may accumulate in firebox. Call a quali-
fied service technician.
I. Before Lighting Fireplace
Before operating this fireplace for the first time, have a
qualified technician:
• Verify all shipping materials have been removed from
inside and/or underneath the firebox.
• Review proper placement of logs, ember material and/
or other decorative materials.
3. The control module has safety feature that automatically
shuts down the fireplace after 9 hours of continuous
operation without receiving a command from the RC300
remote.
• Check the wiring.
• Check the air shutter adjustment.
• Ensure that there are no gas leaks.
4. If you intend to use both an optional wired wall switch
and the RC300 remote control to operate your fireplace,
the wall switch will override any commands given by
the remote.
• Ensure that the glass is sealed and in the proper position
and that the integral barrier is in place.
WARNING! Risk of Fire/Asphyxiation! DO NOT oper-
ate fireplace with fixed glass assembly removed.

A. IntelliFire Plus™ Ignition System
Symptom
Possible Cause
Corrective Action
1. Pilot won’t light.
The ignitor/module
makes noise, but no
spark.
A. Incorrect wiring.
Verify “S” wire (white) for sensor and “I” wire (orange) for ignitor are
connected to correct terminals on module and pilot assembly.
B. Loose connections or electrical
shorts in the wiring.
Verify no loose connections or electrical shorts in wiring from mod-
ule to pilot assembly. Verify connections underneath pilot assembly
are tight; also verify igniter and flame sense wires are not grounding
out to metal chassis, pilot burner, pilot enclosure, mesh screen if
present, or any other metal object.
C. Ignitor gap is too large.
Verify gap of igniter to right side of pilot hood. The gap should be
approximately .17 in. or 1/8 in. (3 mm).
2. Pilot won’t light,
there is no noise or
spark.
A. No power, transformer installed
incorrectly, or depleted batteries.
Verify that transformer is installed and plugged into module. Check
voltage of transformer at connection to module. Acceptable read-
ings of a good transformer are between 6.4 and 6.6 volts AC. Bat-
tery power supply voltage must be at least 4 volts. If below 4 volts,
replace batteries.
B. A shorted or loose connection in
wiring configuration or wiring har-
ness.
Remove and reinstall the wiring harness that plugs into module.
Verify there is a tight fit. Verify pilot assembly wiring to module. Re-
move and verify continuity of each wire in wiring harness. Replace
any damaged components.
C. Improper wall switch wiring.
D. Module not grounded.
Verify that 120/VAC power is “ON” to junction box.
Verify black ground wire from module wire harness is grounded to
metal chassis of appliance.
3. Pilot sparks, but
Pilot will not light.
A. Gas supply.
Verify that incoming gas line ball valve is “open”. Verify that inlet
