INSTALLATION MANUAL
3.4 Principle of ignition cycle
Below you will find a brief description of how this appliance is ignited.
The appliance is off and will be switched on by means of the remote control. The receiver will get the signal to
start the ignition process. This signal is passed on to the burner device, after which, if applicable, the relay for the
Powervent System® is switched. After an 8 second interval, the ignition on the spark electrodes will start. If no
Powervent System® is connected, only the relay will switch and the ignition will start immediately.
The main burner will be ignited at 50% of its capacity.
This will prevent a larger amount of gas in the combustion chamber, if no ignition takes place. When the gas
ignites, ionization will have to be detected. In order to make sure the flame has passed over, this will take place at
the other side of the burner. When ionization is detected, the gas control will modulate to 100%.
If applicable, the second valve is switched (you will be able to hear a 'click') in order to ignite the second burner.
After ignition of the second burner, the appliance will always go to the full position (full capacity).
This will guarantee that the second burner will actually ignite.
The second burner can be switched on and off manually, by means of the remote control.
In case of switching on manually, the appliance will first return to full load.
!Caution The appliance's control unit is characterized by its stringent safety requirements. It is possible that the burning
appliance switches off automatically and then switches back on again. This is not a failure, but a check. The
moment the appliance's control unit is connected to mains voltage, the control unit will perform this check every
24 hours. If the appliance is burning at that time, the appliance will extinguish and then start again immediately. If
you wish to prevent this, you can remove the plug and insert it again at a time during the 24 hours when the
appliance is never or hardly ever burning.
4. Removing the packaging
Note the following items when removing the packaging:
Ø Remove all packaging materials.
Ø Remove all supplied components in, on and/or at the appliance.
Ø Check the appliance and accessories for damages (during transport).
Ø If necessary, contact your supplier.
Ø Never install if an appliance is damaged!
Ø Remove any screws that are used to fix the appliance to a platform or pallet.
!Caution Glass is a ceramic material. Very small irregularities in the glass panes cannot be avoided, but are within the
required quality standards.
!Caution Keep plastic bags away from children.
In Appendix 2, Table 1 you can see which parts you should have after removing the packaging.
Ø Contact your supplier if you do not have all the parts after you finished removing the packaging.
Ø Packaging must be disposed of in accordance with the regulations.

INSTALLATION MANUAL
5.9 Flue gas discharge /combustion air supply system at appliances with a closed
combustion
5.9.1 General
The appliance's type of discharge system is stated in Appendix 2, Table 2.
The appliance is connected to a combined flue gas discharge/combustion air supply system, hereafter referred to
as the concentric system.
The passage to the outside can be made with both a wall terminal and roof terminal.
If necessary, you can also use an existing chimney (see section 5.9.4).
!Caution - Only use the concentric system supplied by DRU This system has been tested in combination with the
appliance. DRU cannot guarantee a proper and safe operation of other systems and does not accept any
responsibility or liability for this;
- For connecting to an existing chimney you should only use the chimney kit supplied by DRU.
The concentric system is constructed from (the flue spigot of) the appliance.
If, due to constructional circumstances, the concentric system is placed first, it is possible to connect the appliance
by means of a telescopic pipe piece.
5.9.2 Construction of the concentric system
Depending on the construction of the concentric system the appliance will have to be further adjusted with
possibly a restrictor slide or air inlet guide.
See Tables 4 and 6 for determining the correct adjustment and section 5.9, 'Adjustment of the appliance' for the
method of working.
The concentric system with wall or roof terminal has to comply with the following conditions:
- In appendix 2, table 4 or 5 you can find whether a concentric pipe should be connected and what the
minimum vertical length would have to be;
- Determine the permissibility of the required discharge.
When using a wall terminal the following applies:
- The total vertical pipe length, when using a wall terminal, may have a maximum length that you can find in
Appendix 2, Table 4;
- The minimum vertical pipe length, when using a wall terminal, can be found in appendix 2, table 4;
- The total horizontal pipe length, when using a wall terminal, may have a maximum length that you can find
in Appendix 2, Table 4 (without wall terminal; see Appendix 3, Fig. 5).
When using a roof terminal the following applies:
- The construction of the chosen system, when using a roof terminal, must be permissible according to
Appendix 2, Table 5 (See the method of working described below).
The working method below indicates how the permissibility is determined of a concentric system when using a
roof terminal.
1) Count the number of 45° and 90° bends required;
2) Count the total number of whole metres of horizontal pipe length;
3) Count the total number of metres of vertical and/or sloping pipe length (roof terminal excluded);
4) In the first 2 columns of Table 5, look for the number of bends required and the total horizontal pipe length;
5) In the top row of Table 5, look for the required total vertical and/or sloping pipe length;
6) If you end up in a box with a letter, the concentric system chosen by you is permissible;
7) Use Table 6 to determine how the appliance should be adjusted.

INSTALLATION MANUAL
5.9.3 Placing the concentric system
!Caution - Maintain a distance of at least 50 mm between the outside of the concentric system and the walls and/or
the ceiling. If the system is built in (for instance) a cove, it should be made with non combustible,
heat-resistant material all around it;
- Use heat-resistant insulation material when passing through combustible material;
- The rosette of the wall terminal is too small to seal the opening when passing through combustible
material. That is why you should first apply a sufficiently large heat-resistant intermediate sheet to the wall.
Then, the rosette is mounted on the intermediate sheet.
The roof terminal can end in a sloping and a flat roof.
The roof terminal can be supplied with an adhesive plate for a flat roof or with a universally adjustable tile for a
sloping roof.
!Caution Some heat-resistant insulation materials contain volatile components that will spread an unpleasant smell for a
prolonged time; these are not suitable.
Place the concentric system as follows:
Ø Build the system up from (the flue spigot of) the appliance.
Ø Connect the concentric pipe pieces and, if necessary, the bend(s).
Ø On each connection, apply a clip binding with silicon sealing ring.
Ø Use a self-tapping screw to fix the clip binding to the pipe on locations that cannot be reached after installation.
Ø Apply sufficient wall brackets, so that the weight of the pipes does not rest on the appliance.
Ø Determine the remaining length for the wall or roof terminal and cut it to size, make sure the correct insertion
length is maintained.
Ø Place the wall terminal with the (groove/folded) seam at the top;
Ø Attach the wall terminal from the outside by means of four screws.
!Caution When using the wall terminal, place the terminal with a downward slope of 1 cm / metre towards the outside, in
order to prevent rain water from raining in.
5.9.4 Connection to an existing chimney
It is possible to connect the appliance to an existing chimney.
A flexible SS pipe is placed in the chimney with a fitting diameter at the flue gas discharge pipe, for the discharge
of flue gases. The surrounding space is used to supply combustion air.
The following requirements apply when connecting to an existing chimney:
- only allowed when used in combination with the special DRU chimney set. The installation regulation is
parat of the delivery;
- the internal size should be at least 150 x 150 mm;
- the vertical length has a maximum of 12 meters;
- the total horizontal pipe length may have a maximum length that you can find in Appendix 2, Table 4;
- the existing chimney should be clean;

6. Control
The appliance is supplied with a wireless black remote control for the user (see appendix 3, fig. 35 (B)). As an option,
an orange remote control can be supplied for the installer (see appendix 3, fig. 35 (O). Controlling the flame height,
igniting and switching off take place through the black remote control controlling a receiver. Some fires can also be
controlled in an alternative way. These options are described further down in this chapter.
The User Manual describes the operation of the appliance. Including the operation of the remote control and
alternative methods of operation.
!Caution Do not ignite the appliance before the gas, discharge and electric connections have been fully installed, first
observe the procedure described in chapter 7.3.
6.1 Remote controls
6.1.1 Black remote control for the user
Proceed as follows to make the black remote control ready for use:
Ø Place the two penlite batteries (AA) in the battery holder of the remote control.
Ø Make sure the voltage of the atmospheric fire is not switched off for longer than 5 minutes.
Ø If the remote control does not have the "BND" state, the following operations must be performed: Press the menu
button (button with square symbol) on the remote control for at least 10 seconds and then press a few times until
“BND” appears on the screen with the receiving symbol.
Ø Press the “arrow up” and “arrow down” buttons briefly and simultaneously, so that a (flashing) warning triangle and
an hourglass appear in the screen as well.
Ø As soon as logging on is finished, the start screen will appear
!Tip Ale functions are extensively explained in the supplied user manual.
6.1.2 Orange remote control for the installer
By means of the optionally available orange remote control, it is possible to read all information stored in the
receiver. In this way, the last 20 error messages can be retrieved, and it will also be possible to read how many
times an error occurred. Moreover, this remote control can also be used to adjust the basic settings and to read the
size of the ionization flow. It is also required for a wired Domotics control.
6.2 Alternative control (if applicable)
In addition to the remote control, it is also possible to operate the fire in alternative ways. For this purpose, a
Domotics system can be connected to the receiver. This can be a wired or a wireless system. The various
possibilities are described below (see appendix 3, fig. 35, 36 and 37).
6.2.1 Wired
Wired connection of the Domotics system to the receiver takes place via a 0-3VDC direct current
(see appendix 3, fig. 36 (D)).
!Caution A higher voltage than 3V will damage the receiver and is therefore not permitted.
Tip! In case of Domotics systems with an output voltage of 0-10V, you should switch the voltage back to 0-3VDC.
Use a voltage distributor made of resistors. For example, 2200 ohms and 680 ohms. The voltage above 680 ohms
resistance can be used on the input of the 0-3VDC. Low ohmic resistors must be used.
By controlling the height of the voltage, the receiver will be able to calculate the position of the fire. Table “B1” in
appendix 3, fig. 37 shows the relationship between the voltage and the height of the flame. If you have an
appliance with 2 burners, table “B2” will apply. It shows the relationship between the voltage, the height of the
flame and the number of burners.
Proceed as follows when connecting the Domotics system to the receiver:
Ø Connect the 0-3VDC signal to the connector, to which a black and yellow wire are connected (see appendix 3, fig.
36 (D)).
Ø Use the orange remote control to select the option for a wired connection: go to position 8 in the first menu and
select an appliance with single burner (option 2) or an appliance with two burners (option 3). For this, read the
manual of the orange remote control.

!Caution Only 1 type of wireless connection is possible on the communication module.
6.2.2.1 Connection via ‘modbus’ protocol
Wireless connection of a Domotics system to the receiver is possible via a connection according to the ‘modbus’
protocol. Such a connection can only be established with a communication module (see Appendix 3, fig. 35 (W)).
This module can be ordered from DRU. This communication module translates the ‘modbus’ protocol from the
Domotics system into a wireless signal to the receiver.
When connecting a Domotics system via the communication module to the receiver, proceed as follows:
Ø Using the remote control, test whether the location where you want to place the communication module is within
the receiver's range.
Ø Place the remote control on this location and test the reception sensitivity (RSSI).
Ø Press the on/off button and down arrow at the same time. The value that is now visible, must be between -20 and
-70 (see User Manual, "Reception Sensitivity"). If needed, hold the remote control closer to the appliance in order
to improve the reception.
Ø Connect the communication module by means of an RJ45 plug, according to the instructions in the manual that is
supplied with this module.
Ø Now follow the steps described in the ‘modbus’ protocol manual. It is available from the supplier of the domotics
system.
6.2.2.2 Control via application
If the fire is operated via a tablet using the application (iOS or Android), a communication module is required. This
module can be ordered from DRU.
In order to control the fire via an application, proceed as follows:
Ø Using the remote control, test whether the location where you want to place the communication module is within
the receiver's range.
Ø Place the remote control on this location and test the reception sensitivity (RSSI).
Ø Press the on/off button and down arrow at the same time. The value that is now visible, must be between -20 and
-70 (see User Manual, "Reception Sensitivity"). If needed, hold the remote control closer to the appliance in order

Ø If the main burner does not ignite:
- Reset the system by pressing the buttons ‘arrow up’ and ‘arrow down’ simultaneously;
- Repeat the ignition procedure until the main burner ignites;
!Caution After each attempt to ignite, the system must be reset.
Ø Consult the diagram with error messages (Appendix 1) if this does not succeed after a few attempts;
The appliance ignites at 50%. After ionization has been detected, the appliance will modulate to 100%. This
detection will have to take place within 15 seconds, or else the appliance will enter error mode.
If applicable, the second valve will switch to ignite the second burner. Here, you can hear a clear ‘click’ sound.
Ø Check whether the main burner continues to burn;
Ø If the main burner does not continue to burn:
- Reset the system as described and repeat the ignition procedure until the main burner continuous to burn.
!Caution The system can be reset and re-ignited three times in a row at maximum. After that the system will enter hard
lock-out and you will have to wait for half an hour before you can make a new attempt.

Ø Switch off the appliance;
Ø Then mount the glass window as described from chapter 5.10;
Ø Repeat the ignition procedure a few times and perform the checks described in chapter 7.3.2;
Ø From now on, the main burner should ignite smoothly.
!Tip When checking whether the main burner continuous to burn, it is possible that it switches off after 15 seconds. In
that case, this will be caused by the fact that there is no ionization detection and because the glass window has
not been placed. In this case you may presume that the main burner continuous to burn.
!Caution - Always wait 5 min. before re-igniting the appliance;
- No changes may be made to the gas control.
7.3.2 Main burner
!Caution - The ignition electrode should ignite the main burner within a couple of seconds and without popping.
- The main burner(s) must cross the full burner smoothly and without popping and continue to burn.
- If the appliance does not ignite after three restarts and enters hard lockout, it may never be reset by
disconnecting it from the power supply. If a restart is necessary after all: remove the glass pane and make
sure the gas is able to escape from the appliance. After this, the appliance may be disconnected from the
power supply for 10 seconds. After these 10 sec., the power supply may be reconnected. Ignite the
appliance in the same way as the first ignition, as indicated in section 7.3.1.
