APPE Ignition Features
Designed for hospitality, multifamily, and discerning homeowner use and packed with features and options. PyroMania’s APPE ignition fire pit burner is the world’s most technologically advanced fire pit burner.
- On demand pilot light: APPE has a pilot light that is lit only when the fire table is on the ON position. That saves a lot of fuel over time and prevents heat damage to the burner and covers when not in use. The pilot is enclosed in a wind and rain resistant housing that allows for manual lighting if necessary.
- Flame recognition auto relight / shutdown: If wind or rain extinguishes the flame, the pilot will automatically relight it.
If the pilot is also extinguished, APPE will automatically try to relight it for 60 seconds before shutting down for safety reasons. It can then be restarted once the problem is rectified. - APPE is a plug and play system. There are several options for control which are interchangeable and require no tools or programming to change.
- Our unique 12-volt system is designed to run on 110v AC (utilizing a built-in transformer) and/or a 12v DC battery. The 110v transformer can be plugged into a standard socket or hardwired. Our 12v battery packs are chassis mounted and require no tools to change.
- High temperature auto shutdown: If the temperature of the control reaches a temperature close to its maximum operation temperature, it will automatically shutdown until a lower preset temperature is achieved.
- APPE burners are assembled using CSA certified components that are assembled onto a chassis. All metal components are 304 stainless steel, brass, and aluminum. And only the highest quality components are used. Such as whistle free flex-pipes which are made from epoxy coated, stainless steel and solid brass. All gas fittings are machined from solid brass.
- Electronics are cased in water resistant aluminum enclosures and protected from heat with aerogel insulation panels. Electrical connections are with water-resistant automotive grade connectors.
- The burner assembly is fastened to the fire table with wing nuts and uses quick connects at the gas and electrical connections, requiring no tools to remove or install.
- Proprietary natural gas/propane convertible orifice assembly. Fully adjustable to handle any btu with use in both natural gas and propane. Adjustable air shutter allows for compensation of altitude and gas pressure as well as adjustment of flame temperature to help control carbon build-up.
- Emergency stop switches are standard with all APPE control panels
- Multiple control options: the standard control is an on/off push button control for common areas and where restricted use is not required. Below listed more details about the upgraded RFID/Biometric control system and add-on options.
RFID/Biometric Control
The latest technology in limiting access to only authorized users. RFID uses NFC chips to operate the fire table. The fire table will only operate when an NFC chip is placed against a chip reader. With this option, an RFID chip reader and an emergency stop are installed on the control panel. The controller is pre-programmed to shut the flame off automatically after 60 minutes run time (after each swipe). Custom time settings are available at request. To turn off the fire table prematurely, either touch the NFC chip on the reader again or press the E-stop button. RFID equipped fire tables come with 2 encoded Key fobs and 2 encoded stickers that can be attached to cell phone cases. NFC chip equipped and compatible smart rings are available from Pyromania. Commercial RFID readers are also available for installations that require connection to a central system.
Mechanical Timer
A 60-minute mechanical timer (dial type) is installed on the panel along with an emergency stop button. A keyed emergency stop is available if it is desirable to “lock-out” use of the fire pit during certain periods.
Hi/Low Flame Switch
Save fuel and set the flame height for when ambiance or heat output is the priority with a high and low flame control.
A secondary Hi/Lo switch is added to the control panel with this option.This is a great additional option when adding the thruster burner.
Variable Flame Control
Save fuel and set the flame height as you need it to be. A key is added to the control panel with this option. This is a great additional option when adding the thruster burner.
Key Lockout Switch
Available when it is desirable to lock out use of the fire pit during certain period. It can be combined with other control options.
Double Gang Box
For use with 12v fire pit burner controls (panel, switches and wiring will be pre-installed)
External mounted aluminum gang box can be mounted to a post or wall surface.
Weatherproof plastic enclosure protects the control panel and switches from the elements.
