Operation 7

Recommended Order of Installation

1. Determine the location of torch. Make sure all clearances are met, (see page 8).

2. With the torch head location identified, prepare and m ount the torch head support (pillar, post, or

wall mount). This order of installation may need to be modified due t o i ndividual installation

conditions. NOTE: sections 4, 5, 6 and 7 of this page detail gas and electrical connections t o the

torch head.

3. GAS SUPPLY: The torch requires 20,000 BTU input (natural gas or LP). A shut off valve and 12

inches of flex line are provided to assist connection from the supply line to the torch hea d. The

shutoff valve accepts ½” MPT (male pipe thread). B efore turning gas on to the torch, leak-test all

gas line connections.

4. ELECTRICAL SUPPLY: The power supply must be routed through a switch to turn the torch on

and off (see page 10). Multiple torches may be place d on a single circuit. Each torch uses

24VAC at approximately 1.6 amps - make sure the circuit and wiring is appropriately sized (see

diagram on pg 11.). If multiple torches are powered through a single switch, the control modules

for each of the individual torches may be daisy-chained together (make sure polarity is correct,

see pg. 13). Make sure to leave slack in the electrical line so the head can be removed for

service.

5. For outside post and pillar installations route a ½”stainless steel flexible gas line from the shut off

valve to the torch head (you will have to provide this gas line).

For wall mount applications; if using flex line to pass through the wall of a building the flex line

must be enclosed in conduit for protection, or local c ode m ay require you to hard pipe the

connection from the control module to the torch head.

6. Attach the torch head to the mount. Attach the gas line. Attach the 24vac electrical supply.

Leave the control covers loose to allow for leak testing access. Install the torch assembly (see

page 16).

7. Bleed the gas line and start the torch by switching on the electrical power to the control module.

Leak test the gas lines. Verify the torch works correctly and there are no gas leaks. Attach the

control covers.

8. Give the manual to the home owner and explain the operation of the torch.

Wiring Diagram

• We recommend outdoor-suitable connectors (silicone-filled wire connectors, diel ectric gr ease,

etc.) on the power-in connections to the control m odule to prevent corrosion.

• Route the wires from the 24VAC transformer to the torch using listed wiring. The wiring is routed

through the post or wall mount. Make sure to prov ide slack in the electrical line for removal and

service.

• Each torch uses approximately 40 watts during startup (1.6 amps at 24VAC). Make sure the

circuit and wire are sized appropriately.

* NOTE: The thermopile must connect to the control module as shown above (orange/white

wire connects to the white thermopile wire and orange wire connects to red thermopile wire). Do not reverse the wires. If the wires are reversed, the torch will not work correctly.

Operation

Wiring Sizing / Length

 Each torch is connected to the 24VAC power line near the torch head. This allows the installer to

daisy chain one torch to another (see “Example A” on previous page). This may be useful when

a number of torches are closely spaced.

Max WireLength

Examples of Maximum Wire Length

 Maximum length is determined by wire gauge, number of torches, and torch configuration (see

chart above).

-- The more torches on one wire, the shorter the maximum length

-- The larger the wire, the longer the maximum length

-- “Home Run” configurations allow for greater wire length than “Daisy Chained” configurations – The maximum wire length is determined by voltage drop of the wire. Use of a larger 24v transformer does not influence wire length

 If using a multi-tap transformer (24v, 27v, etc.) maximum wire length may be greater. Consult an

electrician for details.

The example below uses a “Home Run” configuration. Because each wire serves only one torch,

the maximum wire length can be run.

IF YOU REVERSE POLARITY, PERMANENT DAM AGE WILL OCCUR.

Polarity

WARNING: Make sure to keep polarity between torches the same. Do not allow a white wire to connect to a white/blue wire (keep polarity the same).

• When wiring multiple torches together using a single 24VAC transformer, it is important that the

polarity between the torches are connected in parallel (all white wire s c onnected together and all white/blue stripe wires connected together). Polarity between the torches and the transformer does not matter.

Operating Instructions

WARNING: This gas torch is automated, it runs off of an electric ignit ion system and may not be lit with

a lighter or matches.

How your torch works

Ignition

When you switch the torch on, electrical power is supplied to the control module, starting the ignition sequ ence. During ignition the igniter will glow red (the ignitor is visible behind the burner rings on the torch). Gas is then turned on to the torch. The torch will ignite and the fl am e sensor will signal the control module that the torch is lit and the igniter will then turn off.

NOTE: In rare cases, the torch will fail to light. I n these cases the torch will wait 30 seconds, then re-start the 35second ignition sequence. The control module will try to re-start the torch a total of 3 times. If it fails to light after three tries, the torch will then shut-off. To re-start, turn the switch off , wait 3 seconds, then turn the switch on.

Torch in Operation

The torch, once lit, will stay lit until power to the torch is turned off. If gas flow is interrupted, or if wind blows-out the flame, the torch will start the ignition sequence. If you cycle power to a Hot torch (turn off and back on) i t may take up to 1 minute for the torch to start the ignition sequence.

Multiple Torches

Each torch operates independently. If you install mult ipl e torches on one power switch and need to turn one of the torches off, shut the gas off to the specific torch. Shutting one torch off will not affect the others.

Safety Circuit

Each torch has a built in safety circuit that only allows gas to flow during the ignition sequence and when the torch is lit. This prevents gas build-up. The safety circuit relie s upon a flame sensor to keep the gas valve open. If the flame goes out the control module will shut the gas of f then try to relight the torch. Your torch can not be operated manually, if a problem persists consult the trouble shooting guide (pg 21) and call a qualified service technician if needed.

Torch Operation Options

Your torch is operated from an electrical circuit similar to an exterior light. You can set up one or many t orches on a single power supply. Torches may be set up and operated from any system that a house or exterior light could be operated from. Some examples are:

• Wall switch

• Timer

• Smart home control system

• Remote control

Page 19

Maintenance 19

Maintaining Your Torch

! Failure to inspect and m ai ntain may lead to malfunctioning of the appliance

and potentially dangerous situations.

• Inspect Torch prior to each use.

• Keep torch clean, remove any debris that collects in or on Torch. Inspect for spi ders and insects,

they may clog burner ports or air inlets and need be removed before using.

• Have the appliance inspected by a qualified service technician annually.

• The stainless steel burner top will discolor – this is normal.

Your Tempest torch is designed to be cleaned and maintained easily. The most common maintenance that your torch will require is glass cleaning. This i s done by loosening the glass retaining screws. Each piece of glass will have its own retainer. Hold the glass by the exposed edge and slide horizontally out of its tracks, the glass should slide easily if its retaine r screw is loose.

Clean with glass cleaner or warm soapy water. The glass on your Tempest is tempered and designed for safety. If it breaks it will shatter into small square pieces similar to a car windshield. It is special glass and if you break one or need to replace a piece use only 3/16” thick tem pered glass supplied by your Tempest Torch dealer.

To inspect for or clean debris out of the inside of your torch remove one piece of glass. This will provide access to the inside of your torch. Once your glass piece is out remove the pyramid shaped piece with the rings on the top by lifting it straight up, once you are clear of the burner elements turn it sideways and remove through the glass opening. This will provide you a clear view of all the torch components, v isuall y check for and remove all foreign objects, vegetation, bugs, debris. When reassembling make sure y ou orient the Pyramid plate correctly, the burner elements that stick up through this plate are delicate. Once oriented, slide the plate straight down onto the burner assembly making sure the edges are seated all the way down.

Winterizing the Torch.

In areas where the torch may not be used in winter, or f or an extended period of time, you may wish to shut off gas to the torch. This will insure the torch is not accident al ly turned on or started with debris or snow inside the torch.

WARNING: Do not cover the torch. A cover could combust if it is in place when the torch is turned on, creat i ng a severe safety hazard.
