The Proflame 2 is a modular remote control system that directs the functions of a
hearth appliance. It was designed in Basic, Standard or Complete configurations for
ATMO or FAN assisted appliances and now available in Basic ATMO, Complete ATMO
or Complete FAN/ATMO versions.
•
The Basic Proflame 2 is an automatic gas ignition control system that includes a
selectable intermittent or standing pilot setting. Features include: twin safety system
with true flame rectification current detection for enhanced safety and reliability,
On/Off, Manual Hi/Low operation from a wall switch, a low power consumption
design provides a choice for AC power or AC power with battery back up.
The 880 Proflame gas valve provides basic ON/OFF operation of gas flow to the
pilot and main burner of the heating appliance.
The 886 Proflame gas valve has the same functions as the 880 gas valve with the
added feature of manual flame adjustment by a Hi/Low knob.
The Proflame valves have been designed for use with either LPG or Natural Gas
and can be converted by use of OEM supplied conversion kits.
The 880 Proflame valves can also be upgraded to 886 configurations by installing
OEM supplied conversion kits.
•
The Standard Proflame 2 is a remote control system that directs multiple functions
of modern hearth appliances. The Standard Proflame 2 adds to the Basic Proflame
2 system the control of On/Off and flame height adjustment operation of the main
burner, allows to operate a Split Flow dual burner control.
The Standard Proflame 2 system is specifically developed to be used together with the
Proflame 885 valve and provides for battery back up in the event of line power loss.
• The Complete Proflame 2 is a remote controls system that directs multiple functions
of modern hearth appliances. The Complete Proflame 2 adds to the Standard the
comfort fan speed control through off to 6 levels, a remotely actuated 120/60Hz
power outlet and optional combustion fan control. Comfort control is advanced
by the Smart thermostat feature which automatically modulates the flame height
optimizing the temperature management and the room ambience.
The Complete Proflame 2 system is specifically developed to be used together with the
Proflame 885 valve and provides for battery back up in the event of line power loss.
Note: if an optional combustion fan is used, the appliance can not be operational
in battery back up mode.
• For operation with a less sensitive response time to movement of the flame with
relationship to the sensing electrode, the IFC unit can be ordered with extended
"FFRT" option (CSA certified only). With this option a "Flame Failure Response
Time" (5s) with extended "Recycle Time" (30s) are adopted. In case of flame
failure detection, the system will not react immediately, but will wait for FFRT
expiration before entering lockout (in ATMO configurations) or re-igniting (in
FAN configurations).

APPENDIX
Transmitter
The life span of the remote control batteries depends on
various factors: quality of the batteries used, the number
of ignitions of the appliance, the number of changes to the
room thermostat set point, etc.
When the transmitter batteries are low, an Icon will appear
on the LCD display of the transmitter (Fig. 25) before all
battery power is lost. When the batteries are replaced this
Icon will disappear.
IFC Board (back up batteries)
The life span of the IFC batteries depends on various factors: quality of the batteries used, the
number of ignitions of the appliance, the number of changes to the room thermostat set point,
etc.
When the IFC batteries are low, a "double-beep” will be emitted from the IFC board when it
receives a command from the transmitter. This is an alert for a low battery condition for the IFC
board. When the batteries are replaced the “beep” will be emitted from the IFC board when a key
is pressed (See Initialization of The System).
