By closing off the flue outlet the fireplace is not in use,the damper prevents drafts and conserves energy by preventing heat in the home from escaping through an open flue. The Flue Sentinel®is design certified by the Canadian Standards Association (CSA)to CSA Requirement No.2.03- US for Automatic Vent Damper Devices for Use Outdoors on Fireplace Chimneys and is covered by U.S. Patent No. 6,915,799. AWARNING:Do NOT install this damper on a chimney burning solid fuel such as wood. Do NOT install this damper on a chimney used for venting central heating or water heating appliances.

The following requirements must be met to ensure safe and proper operation: • The Flue Sentinel®Electronic Fireplace Damper must be electrically connected to the fireplace appliance using the chimney upon which the damper is installed. • The damper must be installed in accordance with the NEC NFPA 70(most recent edition)and/or local codes. • The damper must be installed using the wiring harness supplied with it.This harness has a mated connector which plugs into the damper controller. • The damper's wiring harness must terminate at the gas valve. • The wiring connecting the damper controller to the gas valve must be a minimum of 18 AWG and must be run in conduit if installed on the exterior of the chimney or required by code. • Figure 2 is a wiring connection diagram for a typical installation with an intermittent ignition system. • The damper control wiring must always be connected as follows: Brown-24 VAC Hot Orange-Signal In Yellow-Signal Out Black -24 VAC Common Figure 2 IGNITION CONTROL MODULE 24V GND TH-W n n n SPARK ELECTRODE/ SENSOR GAS VALVE— _ I TRANSFORMER FIREPLACE HARNESS COLOR CODE SWITCH Standard Wire Connector High Temp Wire Connector 120 VAC 124 VAC # 2 4 2 4 L2 • 00 00 1 3 1 3 FLUE BLACK VIEW SHOWING VIEW SHOWING SENTINEL # END OF RECEPTACLE END OF RECEPTACLE ELECTRONIC BROWN ORANGE WIRE CONNECT WIRE CONNECT FIREPLACE YELLOW CODE COLOR tti DAMPER ,� .� �i, 1 BROWN Il twill €1 2 ORANGE 2 RED 4 ELLOOK 1.4gp/2019 page 5 ASPEN BUILDING DEPARTMENT SEQUENCE OF OPERATION When the fireplace is turned on,a 24V signal is sent by the fireplace control to the damper controller.The damper controller motor then rotates the damper blade,which is indexed to a cam,to the open position to allow products of combustion to pass through the flue outlet.The cam proves the damper is in the open position and switches 24V from the motor to the main gas valve or ignition system,which fires the main burner. When the fireplace is turned off,the fireplace control removes the 24V signal to the damper controller,shutting off the main burner.After a 30-40 second delay,the damper controller motor then rotates the damper blade to the closed position and resets itself for the next time the fireplace is turned on. FINAL INSPECTION Turn on the gas and electrical supplies to the appliance.Check the operation of the Flue Sentinel®by cycling the appliance at least three times as follows: 1. Switch the fireplace control to turn on the fireplace. 2. The damper will open and fire the main burner.The damper must be in the open position when appliance main burner is operating. 3. Switch the fireplace control to turn off the fireplace.The main burner will immediately shut off and,after approximately 30- 40 seconds,the damper will rotate to the closed position.
