ELECTRONIC FIREPLACE DAMPER

Model: FSE Series

The Flue Sentinel® Electronic Fireplace Damper is designed to increase the comfort and energy eciency of

residential homes with gas-red replaces. Consisting of a stainless steel pipe/blade assembly and solid-state

controller housed in a weather-proof enclosure, the damper is installed outdoors on the top of the chimney

of a gas-red replace. The damper automatically opens the ue outlet when the replace is turned on and

automatically closes o the ue outlet when the replace is turned o. By closing o the ue outlet the replace

is not in use, the damper prevents drafts and conserves energy by preventing heat in the home from escaping

through an open ue.

The Flue Sentinel® is design certied 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.

WIRING WARNING: This damper device MUST be interlocked with all automatic gas valves on the fireplace appliance. DO NOT negate the action of any existing safety of operational control. 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.
PAGE 6
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.

MAINTENANCE CAUTION: Label all wires prior to disconnection when servicing controls. Wiring errors can cause improper and dangerous operation. The Flue Sentinel® has been designed to provide years of maintenance free service. However, for continued safe operation, the Flue Sentinel®, chimney and fireplace appliance should be examined once a year by a qualified service agency.
