CARE & USE/INSTALLATION
POTENTIAL PROBLEMS ...continued
AFTER HEAVY RAIN OR FOG HEATER FAILS TO LIGHT:
REMOTE CONTROL AND RECEIVER APPEAR TO BE
OPERATING NORMALLY. PILOT IS SPARKING.
This heater has been tested to withstand a significant
amount of rain. However, if the heater has reached a
point of ‘saturation’, then either the pilot burner, the main
burner, or both, have become wet. If the pilot igniter
sparks, but the pilot will not light, or the spark is weak,
then the pilot is wet. The pilot can be manually lit with a
long match or lighter. First remove the pilot cover by
removing the 4 small cover screws. Slightly loosen the
inside screw which holds the pivot cover. Rotate cover to
expose lighting hole. Turn the remote to ‘ON’. Apply a
flame directly over the pilot head. If the pilot does not
light after 15 seconds, then turn power off for 5 minutes
and then try again. Once the pilot flame is lit, the main
burner should light shortly after. Once the burner lights, if
it is also wet, then it will burn unevenly until it burns itself
dry. This is normal. If the pilot lights, but the burner will
not light, then the burner simply needs some time to dry
naturally. If this is the case, then the installation and
placement of the heater should be reconsidered. If this is
an ongoing problems due to location, placing the unit in a
continuous Pilot mode is recommended.

TOUCH SCREEN REMOTE CONTROL RECOVERY
METHOD.
This heater has been tested to withstand a significant
amount of rain. However, if the heater has reached a point
of ‘saturation’, then either the pilot burner, the main burner,
or both, have become wet. The heater can be manually lit
by following the instructions in the previous block. There is
also a remote control function that may also expedite the
recovery process. This function overides the flame sensor
in the pilot mechanism and allows the pilot to spark. No
gas, will be released, so only sparking will occur. This
sparking function will help to ‘dry out’ the pilot. To
activate this override function, place the touch screen
remote control in MANUAL OFF mode. Press and hold
the FLAME ZONE on the touch screen and the UP button
simultaneously. The pilot will begin and continue sparking
until the buttons are released. The remote will return to
MANUAL OFF. Turn the remote to MANUAL ON and see
if the pilot will spark on its own. If not, repeat process until
the pilot functions
normally.
With almost 1/3
rd
of the American population living at high altitudes, you may have special needs and considerations
for their gas fired appliances. The air up there is thinner having less 0
2
and lower atmosperic pressure, so heating
and cooking are going to present specific challenges. To compensate for variables, such as thinner air and lower
atmospheric pressure, appliances must be adjusted to operate at high altitudes. Generally speaking input ratings used
for elevations up to 2,000 ft (600m) must be reduced at a rate of 4% for each 1,000 ft (300m) above sea level*
In order to keep Lynx LHEM heaters operating under peak performance conditions high altitude orifices can be
ordered from the factory and be converted in the field using the proper orifice conversions. For more information
