TABLE OF CONTENTS
TFS Linear Fire Pits
Fuels used in gas red appliances, and the products of combustion such as fuels, contain
chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects and/or other reproductive harm.
This warning is issued pursuant to the California Health & Safety Code Sec. 25249.1
Media such as (i.e. lava rock, lava stones, lava boulders) has the potential of thermal
spalling. This is a process that may occur when media is wet and moisture gets trapped
inside of the material due to rapid temperature differences. When this happens the
media has the potential to crack or “pop” outside the fire feature.
WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND COVERING ALL FIRE FEATURES WHEN NOT IN USE
The use of a cover can lessen the impact of thermal spalling; however, heavy rains, high
humidity and the presence of moisture may still cause the media to pop.
ALWAYS USE CAUTION WHEN USING THE FIRE FEATURE
Extra caution should be taken when lighting a fire feature when heavy rains, high humidity
and moisture are present. Light the fire feature; leave the area allowing any moisture in
the media to dissipate. We strongly recommend that during this drying out time that you
monitor the fire feature from a distance. This drying out period should be no less than 30
minutes. Continue monitoring the flame from distance to ensure that all popping has
ceased before fully enjoying the fire.
CAUTION

When in stalling into an opening its important to note some installation dimensions.
1) Cradle - is the assembly (outer shell) that all other parts sit inside. It is also the box where all rough framing takes
place. See page 3 and 4 for details.
2) Cradle Bracket - These brackets are 23” long with 2” anges. Each Linear model comes with two (2) cradle brackets
that mount on both sides of the re pit. The 7” frame clearance allows for the screws securing the cradle brackets. Each
cradle bracket can be adjusted 1/2” from the top edge of the cradle or lowered to a total of 2 3/4” from the top edge of the
cradle. There are 1/4” increments to adjust the depth of the re pit to t most nishing materials (See Fig. 4.).
3) Pilot Covers - are decorative spacers that provide equal spacing for all models. One side is used as a pilot shield for
the pilot system in the Thermocouple Flame Sense (TFS) models.
4) Burner Trim (Optional) - is 5/8” deep and sits inside the cradle. It has a 3/4” lip around that overlaps the entire perim-
eter of the of the cradle for its nished look.

WARNING: Proper clearances from combustible, construction materials must be maintained from all sides, top and
bottom of this appliance. Use the specications listed on page 3 for proper clearance to combustibles.
PREPARING A NON-COMBUSTIBLE STRUCTURE
The re pit can be installed on a at, stable surface, away from any combustible materials. Install re pit on any level,
outdoor non-combustible, at, stable surface or a combustible oor according to the clearances specied in this manual.
NOTE: Do not place re pit directly on grass, dirt, or rocks this may prevent proper ventilation (Fig. 3, pg. 4).
Ensure proper water drainage is also incorporated into the re pit enclosure.
HARD PIPING TO FIRE PIT WITHOUT GAS PROXIMITY
NOTE: We recommend using ¾” black iron pipe; however please refer to the NFPA54 (National Fuel Gas Code) for
proper pipe sizing when exceeding 20-feet in length for re pits rated above 100,000 BTU.
1. Turn OFF gas supply system. NOTE: All gas connections (except for brass to brass) require the following. Clean pipe
threads using either a wire brush or steel wool. Apply pipe sealant to the ttings before making any connection.
BE CAREFUL! Ensure all gas connections are snug, but do not over tighten!
2. Extend the gas supply using minimum of ¾” black iron pipe or an approved exible gas line from existing house
supply. This can be accomplished by teeing off or tapping into a gas line connection. Install necessary pipe for the
distance required and then install a manual shut-off valve at the exterior house wall. If pipe is to pass through a foundation
or house wall, make sure to re-seal the area around the pipe with weather sealant.
3. The primary gas shut-off (not supplied) will require a ½” male ared tting to enable connection of the stainless steel
ex gas line supplied with the re pit (see gure 4).
IMPORTANT
Installation of Natural or LP gas should be done by a qualied installer, service agency or gas supplier.
This appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its manual shutoff valve during any
pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than ½ “psi. (3.5kPa)
VENTILATION FOR NON-COMBUSTIBLE ENCLOSURE
Fire pits are subjected to many outdoor elements such as rain,
snow, wind, heat or cold. A minimum of 18 square inches of
cross ventilation (2 sides) is required to keep the
components in good working order. Use gure 5 as a guide.
Fig 5. Cross Ventilation Example
HIGH ELEVATION INSTALLATION
This appliance is listed for elevations from 0- 4500 feet in Canada
and the U.S. If elevation exceeds 4500 feet it may be necessary
to decrease the input rating by changing the existing burner orice
to a smaller size. Input should be reduced 4% for each 1000 feet
beyond the 4500 feet above sea level. Check with your local gas
utility for assistance in determining the proper orice in your loca-
tion. In some cases the heating value may already be reduced
and downsizing the orice may not be necessary.

REQUIREMENTS
1. Only non-combustible materials should come in direct contact with any part of the re pit. Underneath area should be non-
combustible or a at level combustible surface according to the clearances specied in this manual.
2. We recommend using ¾” black iron pipe; however please refer to the NFPA54 (National Fuel Gas Code) for proper
pipe sizing when exceeding 20-feet in length for re pits rated above 100,000 BTU.
3. Determine the size linear re pit you are preparing to install (Refer to page 4).
4. You must provide a rectangular cut out to place the re pit into the non-combustible enclosure.
5. Follow the local code requirements for the gas type being used. This re pit should be installed in accordance with
local codes and ordinances or in the absence of local codes, with the latest National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1
NFPA54 or CSA B149.1, Natural and Propane Installation Code in Canada.
6. Fire pits create high temperatures, it is very important to have any combustibles at a safe distance.
7. Normal operation of the re pit is with a battery pack that is supplied with your system (Fig 7). The battery pack has
12-feet of black sleeved wire that is to be passed through the junction box provided. This wire should not be cut or
spliced and the junction box can be placed in the facing of the vertical nish of the re pit, if you place the wire under
ground you should install those wires into an approved protective conduit/sleeve material.
8. Fire pit should never be left unattended while in operation. It should always be a safe distance from all trees and
combustible landscape materials.
10. Construction of the nished re pit should be stable and solid. From the bottom of the burner housing (cradle) that holds
the burner assembly it requires a minimum if of 15-inches to the ground level. See page 3. Drainage is critical to ensure
that water does not damage gas valve and components. Never install the re pit system below grade.
11. CAUTION: The re pit enclosure MUST have a minimum ventilation of 18 square inches on each side of the
nished enclosure.
12. Never ll the cavity under and around the valve box with any material, this is a provided air space necessary for
ventilation.
13. These products are designed for outdoor use only. They are not approved for any indoor use.
14. This re pit is designed for use with the following Firegear Outdoors media: FG-Lava Rock (min. 1” diameter), FG-Lava
Stones, Firegear Liquid Glass Beads or Firegear Large Broken Glass. Cover the burner completely, so that the burner is
not highly visible. Do not cover more than 1” above the top of the burner screen.
15. Gas lines and ttings must be installed into the non-combustible structure. All gas connections must be leak tested
following installation of the re pit. Soapy water leak detection is required before regular use of the re pit.
16. Do not use burner media (rocks/glass) that will absorb moisture over time and will not release this moisture quickly.
Moisture can boil in this material and can rapidly break apart and cause damage or personal injury.
17. Never leave any other combustible material on top of the re pit. This could cause unsafe operation of this system
and damage to the component that will not be covered under our warranty.

FIRE PIT MAINTENANCE
1. The re pit should be inspected and cleaned before initial use at least annually by a qualied eld service person.
2. Any component that is found faulty must be replaced with an approved component.
3. Any tampering or modifying with the re pit is dangerous and voids all warranties.
4. During winter months in cold climates and various seasons operation the re pit may be affected by weather
conditions. It is recommended to use a ventilated cover overtop of your re pit to protect it from humid/rainy weather
conditions when not in use. Heavy rains/downpours could affect the re pit operation if not covered; if this
occurs ensure you allow the re pit time to dry out before attempting to operate. NOTE: If a combustible type cover is
used over the re pit when not in use be sure to remove it before operation to prevent a severe safety hazard.
5. Carbon (soot) may build up on the surface of logs (if installed) during heavy use. Sooting may also occur periodically
under the pilot cover. To clean, brush off with a dry bristle brush or cloth. Keep soot away from clothing or
furniture.
6. Over time stainless steel parts can discolor when heated, usually a golden or brown hue. This discoloration is normal
and does not affect the performance of the appliance.
TROUBLE SHOOTING
TROUBLE SHOOTING
FAULT CODES
The VCS-5000MODTC control module has built-in error detection for several common operating fault conditions. When
the control module detects an error, it will emit a series of beeps. The beeping pattern will help to determine the cause of
the operating fault.
Ignition Safety (Protection for Ignition system):
Error Code: One beep every one second.
Description of Fault: Warn users if the pilot is not successfully ignited in 20 seconds.
How to Clear: Press OFF then ON buttons to re-attempt ignition.
What to Check:
1. Ensure gas supply is turned ON.
2. Ensure that the gas line is purged of air. Air is common in the gas line if the appliance has just been installed, has
been disconnected then re-connected to the gas line, or if the appliance has been unused for an extended period
of time.
3. Ensure there is no blockage in the gas line.
4. Make sure that the ame is properly contacting the thermocouple on the pilot assembly and check for soot build-
up. Clean soot if present.
5. Ensure orange/white leads from module are plugged into the “PILOT” connection on the valve body.
6. Ensure green/white leads from module are plugged into the “MAIN” connection on the valve body.
7. Verify lead from pilot assembly is connected to the “I” terminal on the module.
8. Verify lead from ame sensor on electrode assembly is connected to the “S” terminal on the module and ground
terminal is connected to ground.
9. Verify that the black ground lead from the module is connected to a proper ground on the appliance and check for
frayed or pinched wires on the sensor wire lead.
Sensor Safety (Protection for Flame sensor):
Error Code: 4 Beeps every one second (Constant beeping)
Description of Fault: Warn users the ame sensor detects a ame already present when ignition sequence is initiated.
Also if thermocouple is not given enough time to cool off (30 seconds or more) before re-lighting appliance.
How to Clear: Press OFF then ON buttons to re-attempt normal ignition.
What to Check:
1. Allow thermocouple to cool off minimum of 30 seconds.
2. Check if ame is actually present when valve is turned OFF (if so, replace valve).
3. Check to ensure ground wire from thermocouple and module are connected to gas valve.
4. If 3-probe ignitor is exposed to excessive moisture/water it will need 24-48 hours to dry out.
6.

Thermal Safety (Overheat Protection):
Error Code: 4 Beeps every 2 seconds.
Description of Fault: Warn users that the modules internal temperature exceeds 170°F.
How to Clear: Module’s internal temperature must cool to below 160°F and then press ON button.
What to Check:
1. Ensure that there is proper ventilation to the control module.
2. Is module (inside valve box) located in unapproved location, too close to burner?
3. Move to cooler location.
Wireless Remote Transmitter Will Not Operate Appliance
1. Make sure that the transmitter is within the 25-foot operational range of the control module.
2. Ensure batteries in transmitter are fully charged and properly installed.
3. If using the battery pack, ensure batteries are fully charged and properly installed. Also, make sure the battery
pack’s 4-pin connector is securely connected to the battery pack and control module.
4. If using optional AC adapter, ensure that the AC adapter leads are securely attached to “POWER” connection on
the control module. Also, ensure that the AC adapter is connected to a live 120VAC power source.
5. Ensure “Remote/Off” switch on control module is set to “Remote”.
6. Ensure the control module has learned the transmitter’s security code (learning section pg. 8).
7. Make sure that the remote transmitter is not placed/mounted to a metal surface, which will reduce the operating
range.
8. Make sure that there is not a large metal obstruction between the remote transmitter and the control module.
Ignitor Sparks at Pilot Hood Frequently During Operation
1. The control module will generate a spark at the ignitor electrode to the pilot hood if the system is in the ON
position, but does not does not light; thermocouple may not be hot enough or generating enough millivolts.
2. Make sure that the tip of the thermocouple is clean. Soot buildup will insulate the thermocouple and will not allow
for proper ame sensing.
3. Make sure that wind does not blow the pilot ame out. The pilot hood and the media (rocks, glass, etc.) provides
shielding from the wind. Ensure that the pilot hood and media are properly positioned per the instructions. If wind
is too strong, and the pilot ame can not maintain contact the thermocouple properly, the appliance should not be
operated.
Flame Modulation Will Not Work or Works Backwards
1. Ensure that the black and red leads from the battery pack are securely connected to the red and black leads from
the Hi/Lo latching solenoid located on the valve body (red to red and black to black).
2. Verify that the selector switch on the battery pack is set to LATCHING SOLENOID only.
3. Check functionality with all transmitters to determine if there is an issue with the main control system or an
individual transmitter. If the issue is with an individual transmitter, make sure that the batteries in both the transmit
ter and battery pack are installed properly and fully charged.
