Installation
1. Use the provided hardware to securely hang the Generator from an overhead support, such as a ceiling beam. Leave
 atleast20”betweentheunitandthewall,ceiling,orothersurfacesorobjects.Installthescrewhooksintothe  
overhead support, then use the S hooks to attach the chain to the unit and the screw hooks. Bend the S hooks
to secure the chain.
2.VerifytheGeneratorishanginglevel.Theunithasabuilt-intip-overswitch,apendulum-likesafetyfeaturethatwillturn
 offthegassupplytotheburnersiftheunittipsover,fallsorisn’tlevel.
3.Connecttheprovidedgasregulatortotheliquidpropaneornaturalgassupply.ThegassupplytotheGenerator 
 mustberegulatedtoaverylowpressure(11”WCor½psiforliquidpropane,and4.5”WCor¼psifornaturalgas).
4.Useawrenchtoconnectoneendoftheincluded12’hosetothearettingontheunitandtheotherendtothe 
provided gas regulator.
5.Toverifytheconnectionsaresecure,checkforleaksbysprayingasoapsolutionontothegasconnectionttingswiththe
 shut-offvalveinopenposition.Ifbubblesappear,closetheshut-offvalve,retightentheconnectionandrepeat
the process.
LEDIndicators
TherearefourLEDindicatorsonthesideoftheGenerator,nearthepowerswitch.
•The“MainPowerON”LEDilluminateswhenthepowersupplyisconnectedandtheunitisturnedon.
•The“LockOutError”LEDashestoindicatetheignitioncontrolmodulehasshutoffthesolenoidvalvesandtheunitwill
not operate until it has been disconnected from and reconnected to power.
•The“PilotValveON”LEDilluminateswhentheignitioncontrolmoduleprovidesasparkfor15secondswhilethepilot 
 solenoidisactivated.TheLEDwillremainilluminatedduringoperation.
•The“MainValveON”LEDilluminateswhentheamesensordetectsaame.LEDremainsonduringoperation.
Start-upProcedure
1.Beforeinitiatingthestart-upprocedure,verifythepowerswitchisoffandtheGeneratorisnotpluggedin.
2.Pressurizethegaslinesbyopeningtheshut-offvalvesonthegassupply.Testforgasleaks,especiallyifthisistherst
time the unit has been used.
3.PlugtheGenerator’s24-VDCpowersupplyintoa120Vpowersource.
4.Connecttheotherendofthe24-VDCpowersupplycordtotheinletjackontheGenerator.
5.Turnthepowerswitchon.TheLEDlabeled“MainPowerON”willilluminate.
6.Theignitioncontrolmodulewillattempttoignitetheburnersforapproximately5seconds.TheLEDlabeled“PilotValve
ON” will illuminate.
7.Theburnersmaynotigniteinitiallyifthisisthersttimetheunitisbeingused.After30seconds,theunitwillattemptto
 ignitetheburnersfor15seconds.Theunitwillcontinueuntiltheburnerignitesorforamaximumofveattempts.
8.Ifveunsuccessfulattemptsaremade,themodulewilllockitselfoutandtheLEDlabeled“LockOutError”  
 willilluminate.TurnofftheGenerator,closetheshut-offvalve,andwait5minutestoallowthegastodissipatebefore 
attempting to restart the unit.
9.Whentheburnershaveignited,lookundertheunittoconrmtheameisblueandsteady,resemblingaowerorstar.
•Immediatelyturnofftheunitiftheameappearsyellow,excessivelylarge,orweakandlazy.Highgaspressure
 orincorrectgastypemayleadtoyelloworexcessivelyhighames.Lowgaspressuremaycausesmallorweak
 blueames.
•AftertheGeneratorhasbeentestedwithallburnersoperating,connecttheGeneratortoacontrollerortimer 
 thatwillcontrolthefrequencyanddurationoftheunit’soperation.

ModifyingCO2Output
ItisstronglyrecommendedtouseacontrollerortimingdevicetoproperlymanagetheoutputoftheGenerator.Ifthisis
notpossible,theGenerator’sCO2andheatoutputcanbemodiedbyusingtheprovidedbrasspipeplugstoreducethe
numberofactiveburners.Additionalplugsmaybepurchasedseparately.TheSpecicationstableshowsthesizeofthe
growing area that is appropriate for each model as well as how much CO2and heat are produced at maximum capacity.
EachburnerreplacedwithabrasspipeplugwillreducetheGenerator’soutputby2.65cuft/hrofCO2and2,263BTUfor
astandardliquidpropaneunit,2.7cuft/hrofCO2and2,767BTUforastandardnaturalgasunit,2.1cuft/hrofCO2and
1,788BTUforahighaltitudeliquidpropaneunit,and2.4cuft/hrofCO2and2,455BTUforahighaltitudenaturalgasunit.
TheCGLP-10andCGNG-10featuretheabilitytovaryCO2outputwiththeipofaswitch.Themainpowerswitchactivates
the two burners nearest the electrodes, and two additional selector switches independently activate two separate banks
offourburnerseach.Brasspipeplugsarealsoprovidedforfurthermodication.Todeterminetheappropriatenumberof
burnerstoactivateforthegrowingarea,dividethesizeofthegrowingarea(incubicfeet)by1,000.Forexample:Activate
six burners in a growing area of 6,000 cu ft.
ElectronicIgnitionControlModule
TheGenerator’selectronicignitioncontrolmoduleproducesasparkthatlightstheburners,eliminatingtheneedforanopen
pilotameandprovidingconsistent,controlledstarts.Themodulecontrolsdualredundantsolenoidvalves.
HighAltitudeGenerators
High Altitude Generators are specially designed to operate and compensate for reduced oxygen levels at altitudes higher
than4,500ftabovesealevel.BTUandCO2outputs will be reduced because there is less oxygen in the air at high altitudes
(seeSpecicationstable).
A High Altitude Generator may be operated at altitudes as low as 2,500 ft above sea level, but the unit should be tested
before use to ensure all burners ignite correctly and consistently.
FAQ
• Ismellgasaroundthegenerator,isthatnormal?
 No.Turnoffthegassupplyimmediately.Donotturnonanyelectricaldevices.Ventilatetheareaandleaveuntilthegassmell 
 dissipates.Turnthegassupplybackon,thendeterminewheretheleakisbysprayingsoapywateronthegasconnections.Retighten
the connections where bubbles appear.
• Whatdoesaashing“LockOutError”LEDmean?
 Thegassupplymayhavebeeninterrupted.“LockOut”isasafetyfeatureactivatedwhenthepilotdoesnotigniteafterveattempts. 
 Whentheproblemhasbeenxed,resetthe“LockOut”byturningthepowerofffor30secondsandthenbackon.Theunitwillreset 
automatically after 20 minutes and attempt to ignite the burners.
• ShouldtheGeneratorproducebuzzingorsparkingnoises?
 TheGeneratorwillproducebuzzingorsparkingnoisesonlywhentheunitisattemptingtoignitetheburners.
• Whatshouldtheameslooklike?
 Theamesshouldburncleanandblue,resemblingaowerorstar.Donotoperatethegeneratoriftheameisyellow,excessively 
large, or weak and lazy.
• Doesitmatterwhichburnersarereplacedwiththepipeplug?
 Theburnernearesttheelectrodesmustremaininplace.Removeandreplaceburnersstartingwiththeburnerfarthestawayfrom
the electrodes.
Troubleshooting
• Whyisn’ttheGeneratorworkingandwhyaren’ttheLEDsilluminatingeventhoughthepowerisconnected?
 Thetip-overswitchmayhavebeentriggered.Toreset,tilttheunittothesideandlistenforaclickingnoise.Ensuretheunitislevelto
avoid triggering the switch.
• Whywon’ttheburnersigniteeventhoughtheunitisattemptingtoignitethem?
 Verifytheunitisgeneratingasparkandtheburnerclosesttotheelectrodesisactive.Ensuretherearenokinksortwistsinthegas 
 lineandthegassupplyisadequate.Turnoffthegasregulatorfor30seconds,thentryagain.
• Whyisn’ttheCO2levelincreasingtothedesiredppm?
 Checkforairleakageinthegrowingarea.DonotoperateexhaustfanswhileCO2is being produced.
• Whatifthegrowingareagetstoohumidorhot?
