Montigo R320 - Manual (Page 5)

Introduction to the R-Series Fireplace:
The complete system will require a firebox, a power vent module,
an electrical control panel, and a vent system. The appropriate vent
system will connect the firebox to the power vent module and will be
placed in a vertical or horizontal location. The R-Series fireplace
is not a heat efficient fireplace and should not be used with a
thermostat to heat your home. This product is a fire feature and
should only be used to enhance the ambiance of the room. Please
review the Installation Checklist on Page 4 for general information on
preparing for a successful installation of your fireplace.
Install location:
The R-Series fireplace may be installed in any location that maintains
proper clearances to air conditioning ducts, electrical wiring, and
plumbing. Safety, as well as efficiency of operation, must be considered
when selecting the fireplace location. Try to select a location that does
not interfere with room traffic, has adequate ventilation, and offers
an accessible pathway for Power Vent installation.
Basic Operation:
The gas control components of this fireplace are located in the bottom
of the firebox below the burner system. All models are supplied with
a Honeywell smart valve gas control and do NOT have a variable
flame control. There are two air switches that control the gas control
system, located in the bottom of the firebox. These gas valves and
pressure switches communicate with the electrical control panel
through a six conductor cable supplied with the fireplace.
To operate the fireplace, Montigo supplies 20' of low voltage wire
from the electrical control panel. Connect the two wire harnesses
to a standard single pole ON/OFF switch to the location of your
choice. You may extend these wires up to 100' in length with a wire
of equal quality.
CAUTION: Do NOT connect power to these wires.
The R320* & R420* are classified under power vented fireplace systems.
Under no circumstances can these models be installed without a Power Vent Module.
For Horizontal Vent Installations, use 5”/8” Power Vent Motor PVHEX58-300,
PVHFL58-300, or PVHIN58-300 with TMHIN58-40.
For Vertical Vent Installations, use 5”/8” Power Vent Motor PVVEX58-300.
